thanx ,,,,,,,,,,,,i try some RUU but always it say battery low

i try to charge put the phone mor then 6 hour but still say battery low :(:(:(
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Let the battery run out and put it on the wallcharger. If you can't get it to charge in any way send it in for repair.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Samy6699:
is there any why to know what is my CID in that case ???
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] nenebear:
If your htc10 is s-off(unlocked),then we can dump some partitions to know some devices info.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Samy6699:
No its s-on and locked :crying:
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Why are you so keen on your cid when you can't even boot it or get info from it.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

You don't need s-off.....just a simple "fastboot getvar all" will do to get all the needed info.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Rolo42:
Boot to download mode.

What OS version does it give? (e.g. 2.41.617.3)

What is the three-digit part (e.g. 617)? That's your device. Download the latest RUU with that device identifier.

cf. https://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
If you would have a read in this thread you would know that he can't boot to download mode, not to recovery and the handset is bootloopimg.....

If it could boot to download mode i would have solved this already.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Rolo42:
Since you insist on condescending publicly (do you have "If you would have read this thread" as a macro? Does your keyboard autosuggest the entire clause?) and you think you're the only person who could possibly help the OP, I did read this thread and either:

1) He can boot to download mode but fumbled it somehow; without any information describing what happens when he attempts to enter download mode, I'll infer that he hasn't tried properly

2) Whether he can or cannot enter download mode is moot since the RUU will deal with it and provides instructions when run

Running the correct RUU is the better option for someone terse on troubleshooting and/or if the phone is that borked. Besides, it's locked and S-ON; there aren't many options.

First law of troubleshooting: trust no-one.

What, exactly, are you doing to access download mode and what, exactly, is the result?

Here's a video to help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf-HZTf9tVs

Don't be a complete and utter wise-ass (i wanted to write asshole but xda doesn't like that)

And no i don't think i am the only one who can help him but with the way you are responding at this time you can have it.

Cheers, good luck and goodbye .
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Samy6699:
I ask for the cid to download the correct ruu and not wast time and after not work
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
The cid doesn't give the exact and enough info about what ruu you need. It's the firmware number that is important. Because s-on devices can't downgrade the firmware so you need a ruu that is equal or higher than your firmware number. The cid doesn't change so that is less important.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mams13:
Hi, I exactly the same problem as him but I'm s-off. download mode and recovery à broken.

So I cannot get my cid version. can you help me about to make a dump ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Samy6699:
thank you my friend for you help

i find in the web that we can recover the download mode or recovery by flashing the hosd.img in bootloader

so i extract the hosd.img from some ruu and i flash

fastboot flash hosd hosd.img

i try all the ruu that i have but no change

when i flash its done without error but no thing change still bootloop.

i think i have wrong ruu

i dont know but i have no choice my be i ll desassemble the htc and charge it manually and try with the ruu

if you have any suggestion tel me plz and thx in advance
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Alright, difficult situation. Uhm where did you buy your phone (shop, country.....all info i can get) ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Samy6699:
I really dont khow it was gift

I desasseble the htc charge the baterry but the ruu still say battry low
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Then i'm afraid it's a repair shop thingy at least. If you really can't do something software wise we can't do anything at all.

Sorry.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Does anybody know why the Google Now Launcher can't be searched in the play store and the apk fails to install on 8.1? The only way I've found to install it is to put the apk in the system apps folder using root. Just seems weird that this is the only thing that works.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Oreo "doesn't belong" on an N6 which is a 32 bit device. So the api version and the requirements of the app don't mesh. Google also stopped developing now launcher instead preferring pixel launcher. You would need a ported version, which exists, for the 32 bit device.

A 1k device shouldn't have to run in safe mode! Hope you get it figured out though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
You obviously have no idea how badly a 3rd party app can mess a phone up. That's why safe mode/factory reset is always the first thing they suggest. I've had 3rd party apps go as badly as causing constant random reboots as well as totally brick a phone before. It doesn't matter if it's a $100 phone, a $500 phone, a $1000 phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Sure I do. The poster made no mention of it though. Which is why I root, make backups, so I can restore if I need to. But hey, I respect your deduction as well ?

Got my RhinoShield Crash Guard today. Fits nicely and sits up high enough on the back to protect the camera, the front seems to be high enough to keep a tempered glass screen protector off the table, we just need a good screen protector now. The case feels good in the hand, but being a little softer or some kind of tackiness would be nice. The only thing I'm not a fan of it the power button. The volume buttons are raised a bit, but the power button is almost flat. You can get the button to raise up a bit if you put the phone in the just tight. You can feel the indented area around the button to be able to feel it, but having it stick up the same as the volume buttons would be better. All the buttons react fine, just need the power button raised more.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] YoungSkeezy:
Really? I just got mine and I hate it lol. Buttons are mushy and obliterated my skin when It on and gathers dust like no other. I'm so done with RhinoShield lol. Glad yours works great though! Hoping Dbrand Grip is better and if not, going back to Toast case
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] zathus:
Yeah, not impressed. Fit is terrible. Buttons are crap. It's going back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkdodger:
I don't find the buttons to be bad for me ...fit is tighter than my iPhone X mod bumper ..but I like the fit although we shall see once I try a skin... I do think they should've made it with better grip on sides maybe some ridges for grip...

Pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
I like it.

Mine fits fine and the buttons all stick out the same and are responsive for me.

I agree that the sides are a little slick but just maybe that will get a little better with time.

I'm going to use it for the next couple of weeks and see if I feel the urge to go back to one of my other cases.

When I got one for my 6P, I almost never used another case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] daniel06gt:
I just bought mine..... let's see what the experience is. The reason i bought it is because i just dropped my phone a couple of days ago and cracked a bit of the screen, should've bought this from the beginning.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
I dropped my 6P a couple of times from around 5 feet onto concrete and my phone was none the worse.

The rhinoshield got a couple of scuffs but obviously that's a good tradeoff.

Hopefully this new one for the pixel 2 xl is as good.

And by the way, I did order from the beginning, but unfortunately the company wasn't ready to ship these until a few days ago. :confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] daniel06gt:
Yeah, let's hope so!!! I've heard really good things about it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrPenguins:
Got mine on the way.

What screen protector are we all using?

I ordered the crash guard protector as well, not expecting big things
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] BigPimpin:
After using the case for a couple days I'm changing my mind on the power button. I actually like the way it presses. The volume buttons are moulded into the plastic and the power button, from the inside of the case, looks like it would be one of the buttons off their iPhone case that has different color buttons you can switch out. I'm now liking the feel of the button. If they made all of the buttons the same, like the power button, it would be better.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkdodger:
It went on without a hitch .. although it's a bit of a pain lining up with my bad eyes lol

I recommend using the blow dryer on any skin install

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] cwburns32:
Have had mine for about a week now with a Dbrand skin. Just like with my 6P, I love the RhinoShield for the P2XL. It is a little smooth but that is something I'd imagine gets better with more use. The buttons are fine, every cable I have tried (I have a lot) work with the USB C port. It is a little too slick which is why I have the Drband grip on order through their campaign but I always planned on ordering both maybe even using both from time to time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
I'm guessing these won't be any good with a screen protector? I have the InvisShield on at the moment. Great protector.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
Just to follow-up. I've had my rhinoshield bumper for a little over a week now and I definitely love it!!

It fits perfectly and buttons work fine for me.

Also, and really one of the most important reasons to get one of these, my 2xl fell out of my dress shirt pocket yesterday as I was picking something up outside of my front door onto the concrete. The fall was probably only about 3 feet as I was bending down to pick up a package but it was a pretty violent fall and hit the concrete pretty hard.

The result was the same as I'd had the couple of times my 6P fell onto concrete.

The corner of my bumper is a little scuffed (a little sad about that) but the phone is still pristine.

It's a really good option and should get more consideration. And you still get the feel (a little anyway) of a naked phone.

Bumper just feels better and better the more you use it... I only wish they would have different colors..

Should I install the precision or standard fit Dbrand skin if I will be using it with the RhinoShield Bumper?

Out for a few markets, based on the build number alone I would say just a bump to the January security update.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] nospherato:
Downloading now :D (233,4MB for customized DE)

Edit: Can confirm, it's security update 1.1.2018

Device feels a lot snapier (like scrolling etc.).

Didn't find anything new.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Davka:
Can't see any difference except security updates from 1.1.2018.

BTW guys, do you use notifications "priorities" in drop-down notifications panel?

Since the start of using XZ1c I have put my monitoring app to low priority so the app's notification bar was very slim in the notifications panel.

I've done hard reset now when updating the phone and I can't see such feature any more. Did they move it somewhere or it's gone?

I'm not talking about configuring audio/vibrations - this feature it's there for apps created for Oreo - I'm talking about customizing notification bar size in drop-down notifications panel.

Anyone who got this update using Linux and would like to give USB-Tethering a try? I'm stuck on an old version (47.1.A.5.51) and on this one, USB tethering download speeds are terrible (lots of RX packet errors, <1Mbps download speed). This was also an issue with some OnePlus phones which was fixed with a software update, so I'm hopeful that Sony will also fix it (although seeing how the smart lock blank screen bug is still there, my hopes aren't very high)

This enables/disables UI Calibrator (addidtional submenu in System menu) but there are no options regarding notifications.

What I'm talking about is shown below. Earlier I was able to assign chosen apps (for example System Panel monitoring tool) to low priority notifications, in picture below these are Clipper+, Network Monitor and USB charging device. "Android System 2 apps are using battery" is a normal priority notification here:

There's a workaround for that. In Security, go to Trusted Agents and turn off smart lock, then reboot and turn it back on and the problem is solved.

When considering which firmware variant to flash to my originally USA-market phone, do I need to be concerned about wanting to continue using American English?

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
Pretty sure you can get any variant. It will show english when you boot it up. I have flashed european versions 3 times and never had any problems (I'm in the UK). There is no difference in the modem drivers anymore, so they should all work for you.

Picking a non-branded version will ensure that you don't end up with unwanted provider bloatware.

Customised DE is a good choice, or Customised UK.

12.34 Update Personal Experience

I recently loaded the CE1 12.34 update. Was previously running the august US 2.234 firmware. The finger print scanner now works (Yay!) but the battery life has gotten significantly worse, according to stats recorded on GSAM Battery Monitor (which I feel is pretty accurate and reliable). Went from 7.0 hours SOT over a couple months of use on the original firmware, since the update now getting 5.25 hours SOT. I hope this is an anomaly since it was only a couple days worth of data, because a 25% reduction from a firmware update is not acceptable.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
Is RCSService high on the battery usage stats by chance?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] ndpool88:
Indeed, it is very high in the list of apps by battery consumption.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
The link shows you how to uninstall it. You will get 20% of your battery back. I suspect that it's an always on service that goes into some sort of error state with some phone providers that maybe don't support it fully. It seems random, some people don't have any issues whilst others, like yourself, get clobbered by it.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] pseudonym58:
[MENTION=4354390]Didgesteve[/MENTION], this is actually after resets on more than one firmware variant (I can be persistent!). I'm wondering if anyone else who uses GBoard might be experiencing the same thing. Of course, safe mode boot eliminates the anomaly.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgesteve:
Reflash from an alternate source maybe? Customised NOBA is the most recent release. Although if I understand you, you've already tried that.

Uninstalling the Google keyboard and go with Swiftkey? Couple of restarts, then install the GBoard again. I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Never heard of this before.

Edit: Are you wiping data when you flash? If not then that might be your next option.
