Audio mods? The sound is already good..!!

Battery savers? Already get 6-7hrs+ of SOT with heavy usage.

Xposed? Not actually needed..

Adblockers? Try adaway..

Kernal? Stock is best..why will i want to underclock? To save battety lol? Whats the use of this phone then..overclock? Why overclock? Permformance is already best..!

Well i am not still satisfied why to root..! Sorry..!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] MrPepperino:
So then.....why you asking? Don't root and enjoy your phone stock. No need to ask
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ronak123456:
I did not ask the question..i was also thinking yo root..but then saw this question and answer hence it did not satisfy me..so i posted..thought anyone else have a better answer?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] MrPepperino:
Oh sorry. Thought you were OP. But there is no other answer for that. You can root your phone and have many things you can do.

Or just leave it stock as it is and enjoy it.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ronak123456:
Haha thought so..!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
The best reason is that you can improve the performance of OOS by using a custom kernel and tweaking the settings. I'm personally not a fan of Xposed at all and would steer clear of it unless you actually have a very specific reason to install it. You don't want to install Xposed and then hope you will find a use for it because Xposed can cause a lot of problems. If you use Magisk to root your phone you might find some useful modules. I like the one that allows Google Play Services to go into doze.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] themasv:
Yeah i agree but if u have Op5 then why not root? You will not lose you warranty or anything ;)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] saggiboy231:
The sound might be good, but not even close to what viper can give you.

A non rooted OP5 is good, but a rooted one a lot better.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ronak123456:
Sure..all the roms here sound so tempting..! However we lose the ability of ota download..might get lower battery life..no rom is perfect..all are very good and tempting! But stock u wont get a single error..! So still thinking..! Fingers crossed lol
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] saggiboy231:
Getting root is one thing, and flashing a custom rom is another.

Rooted stock is the best anyday on OP5.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ronak123456:
Yeah agreed..! The day we root..we get tempted to use a custom rom..! Hence said..!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] saggiboy231:
There has to be a reason to flash a custom rom, and for me there isnt any right now.

But this is what android world is, flashing, experimenting, making devices better and interesting each day.

If rom bugs scare you, there is another world of IOS. [emoji4]
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ronak123456:
Ios? Seriously..ill prefer buying nokia 1110 over apple lol..! And coming to root..i want to..but just worried it will screw the phone more..! Lol
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] saggiboy231:
LOL!! [emoji1] [emoji1]

It doesnt, i have rooted it and im enjoying the device more.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ronak123456:
What u enjoying?? How much sot u get? U use xposed?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] flaximuss:
Hi all,

after 3 days of searching, maybe I've found something sounds good, but I'll stay in test mode for a while and I'll keep you in touch in case it is really stable.

What's happend :

3 days ago I did a simple ''factory reset'' and since then I experience a continous reboots after a minute or two alive in Android official 6.0.1 and a bootloops when processor cames really hot.

At this time on internet you can find lots of people with the same issue and all of us without any solutions at all.

Now here the list of my tries :

- Did again a ''factory reset'' with Sony companion and Sony flashtool Emma : no changes

- Call Sony for support? Warranty still okay? : do not waste your time, Sony wants your money and thats it ! (take a try anyway, you will see by yourself)

- So let's root the phone! Even if you do not know what to do, you can find looots of Tutorials and lots of very geek competent guys to help you (better than Sony support anyway), thanks XDA Developers !!!

- Even if I've completely erased all partitions with TRWP, when flashing and back again in stock Android with xperifirm : still no changes !!!

:eek:

Now, during those tries I've noticed that the temperature of processor is dangerously high, and that for every startup process.

You know, at the end I think that the bootloop (I guess in that case only) it is made by temperature mainboard automatic protection.

Anyway, before to play freesbee with and go to buy a new one, I've tried to :

- open the back side (very simple but all operations should made very carefully)

- unplugged the battery for 15 minutes

- take off processor's metal protection to avoid heat retention

- plugged the battery again

- close the back side and started Android

Since then the phone is still alive !!! Just working as it should...

I'm trying all I can do to stress it to see if any problems happend again, installing back all apps, using Root features to uninstall useless Google or Sony apps, restet the phone several times.

The processor still heat up every time you do something or restart, but I do not experiencing sudden rebooting or bootloops again at the moment.

As far as I'm concerned, I would say as well that it is a processor issue, but I'm not a scientist, so I guess this apply to different Xperia models and not only to M4 Aqua Dual.

DO NOT FORGET that this is not a real solution. I just did the only thing that you cannot normally do with that kind of phone : unplug the battery.

I hope I can give some good ideas to all of you, or maybe a good way to a solution :o.

Happy to share,

Flaximuss
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] banzylaxD:
More information please

Well, now I'm sure it is hw problem.

A guy solved this doing some trick:

www(dot)youtube.com/watch?v=mgCSPAmJld4&feature=youtu.be

and it works pretty nice, for a while.

I'm more interested in your solution, how far it didn't bootloop, etc.

Could you tell me how is your phone doing?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] SatzPrince:
I betrayed my Sony :( Is there any way to bring it back???

So, I will explain what has happened.

I received a Warning Statin "Unfortunately, Hike as stopped" followed by "Unfortunately Google has stopped" "Unfortunately home has stopped"...

So I shut my phone off, which I used to do every time and restarted it.

My what happened next is something I haven't experienced before.

My Xperia, just displayed "SONY" logo and nothing else. I know to flash and I have done that many times before. So I was lethargic that I could easily bring my sony back to the world. but that didn't happen anyway :( :crying: :crying:

I read so many threads in XDA but none of them could have faced what I'm facing. Coz my Sony Xperia Aqua M4 will not vibrate so I couldn't able to differentiate Hard and Soft boot.

After waiting for a restless 24hours I tried to open my Sony Xperia Aqua M4 that's when the real problem started...

I found a video that if we remove the battery and reinsert it then everything will be fine.

so, I removed the back cover.

Flip opened that Copper Layer (I really don't know its purpose though) and unplugged 3 battery plugs. That when the things began to get out of my hand.

After reinserting the plug I started my mobile once again only to see the Sony Logo and not the blue waves. So I tried to restart the mobile by pressing the Rest button near the SD Card Slot only then I came to know it stopped working.

So once again I unplugged the battery and this time I had that copper layer trimmed and replugged the battery.

And this time no Sony Logo too :crying: :( but I could feel the temperature of metal on the board rising to its peak. I don't know what to do...

Is there a way to make my Sony work again?

Pieces of Advice Please.......
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AnotherGlitch:
Temporal solution

If you don't want to disarm your phone I got one solution:

1) Press the screen with your thumb and the back panel with index finge, near the nfc logo

2) At the time of starting it helps sometimes.

It is an hardware problem.﻿
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gruelth:
The solution worked but...

Hi, the phone has started up, however, is there any way to make the solution last? :confused:

Please it would be really nice that there is a chance to recover the phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AnotherGlitch:
Of course there is a way to save your phone, but nowadays the process cost more than buying another M4 AQUA used. You can do "reballing" or a little "reflow" in any refurbishing store if you want but I recommend changing that phone. It is not so good to use mate. :)

I have 2 in one week both have the burn in
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] phyl0x:
seems like its just like the extreme blue shift, its not all, but its most.... honestly it doesnt bother me too much in comparison to the blue shift, especially since they will RMA it, but my fear is that they'll stop RMA's for the burn in like they did the blue shift.

I wasnt thrilled with googles official response, but it wasnt the worst response ever, essentially promising replacements for 2 years for this issue (which they can certainly walk back later) but id LOVE to know the conversations they're having with LG quality control right now...they must be losing their minds behind the scenes at all these quality issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:

Turn on immersive mode to prevent burn in
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
I've had mine a week and no issues so far with burn in. The blue tint was noticable at an angle but didn't really bother me. Oreo colorizer has completely fixed that issue as well though. Overall I'm very happy with the phone. The only thing it's missing is root and hopefully that will come soon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hatdrc:
I haven't had a problem yet. I've had immersive mode on since day one though. I had the S8+ before this one and there was a 0px nav bar mod that I ran and used swipe navigation for back, home and recents. I've been looking for it on the pixel but haven't been able to find one. Does anyone know if there is such a mod or can make one?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] markwebb:
Oreo colorizer doesn't correct the blue tint.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] LordGrahf:
I have 0 burn in but I also use immersive mode and pie control, have been doing so for almost 5 years now. Should give it a try, faaaar superior to navbar navigation imo and simple play store downloads w/o the need to root.

Doesn't this ruin system performance for you?

I tried it for a little bit and it heated up my phone, killed battery, and performance was laggy on my XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
I haven't noticed any hit in performance. There has been a slight hit in battery usage though. The 1.1 update seems to have helped a little and if you don't run the app in high performance mode it seems to strike a good balance.

I have had mine since Oct 18 and didn't have burn-in until yesterday. I'm a little puzzled by a tweet from Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Friday Oct 28 about giving priority to fixing a dumb hamburger emoji and how it affects Google's willingness to issue a prompt solution for this burn-in problem.

Everything else? :confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] obsanity:
I'm sure he's being sarcastic. It's his way of saying, with all the bad PR we have on our flagship phone the last thing I have to worry about is a dumb emoji.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Shuthefrontdoor:
I don't have burn in had phone for lil under a week. Blue shift is barely noticeable unless extreme angle. So not all pixel 2 XL are created equal
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NWTSCL:
Maybe so. But it would help explain why after 12 days (there only a 15 day return period) of first reporting a repeating yet unpredictable USB file transfer problem, the only contacts I have had from Google are an email asking whether I am still experiencing the problem and a generic one that only has questions that I have answered 4 times already.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] obsanity:
Yeah, you should be on the phone calling them about this. But the 15 days is for you to make up your mind if you want to not get the device and just have your money back. If it's defective, you now have 2 years to exchange it for a properly working unit.

I'm not saying it's ok for them to keep you waiting. Just that you misinterpreted the 15 days thing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NWTSCL:
That's exactly how I understood it. Not sure why you thought otherwise.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] obsanity:
I don't know you just made it sound like you have 15 days for them to fix the issue

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Raistlin1:
I am using custom navigation bar to make status and nav bar immerse and switched the back and recent buttons. I am really hating immmersive mode, swiping up to get the nav bar is very annoying in certain apps and find myself selecting items on bottom of screen when failing to swipe up the nav bar. I would much rather not use immmersive mode at all, but would like to try and avoid any burn in.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Bunny24:
No burn in after 1 week. Are you guys leaving the phone on 24/7 on max brightness? Sure it's not image retention? Anyways try a nav bar hider for prevention.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 1981greg:
Can I aSk what apps your using
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Raistlin1:
Messages app is the worst one, I have a very hard time getting out of a message screen. It keeps going back into another text message because I am hitting the screen instead of the pulling up the nav bar. In WhatsApp I lose the top of the screen when my keyboard is showing, so I can't see if someone is typing. This happens in some other apps also and the problem with swiping up to activate nav bar happens on any screen, but the sensitivity of clicking screen seems to vary.

Updated to 8.1 immediately and no issues
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Raistlin1:
But doing so means I'll be in the beta program and doesn't that mean that I would have to wipe device once beta is over and move to the release version?

Nope

And select your phone. Mine took a few hours before the update showed on my phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Raistlin1:
I know how to join the beta program, my OG XL is enrolled. I thought we were talking about a different way to get it. I don't want to have to factory reset if I am having issues with 8.1 and when 8 came out on my XL I was having bad battery issues with the upgrade from beta to release. So I flashed the factory image, which is a pain for me since I use my phone for work.

The stuff on needrom (version 1.0.5) is the latest/newest/best available ROM atm.
