For me the 5 GHz range is not working either, at least not well. At home I had set the router to broadcast on channel 36 in the 5 GHz range; with the previous ROM (LOS 7.1.2 by munjeni) this worked well. After shifting to this ROM here the phone would hook up to my router but was constantly losing the signal in some rooms while not in others.

Solution for me was to set the router back to autochannel so that it's now picking channels in the "forbidden" radar range (ch 60 and higher). So my phone doesn't see the 5 Ghz range any longer and is using the WiFi N range instead. All the other devices in my home are very happily using the WiFi AC range instead.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] NemesisSVK:
Hmm, interesting.. while I managed to connect to channels 36 to 48, others are not visible, I was not even able to ping from the phone, so basically useless.

Got the same model number, used TWRP 3.2.2.0 found on this thread.. perplexing, 20MB/s is very nice.. what channels are you using? Did you notice any limitation for what channels you can connect to?

Question regarding OTA update: pulled down last Tuesday's build last night then clicked on the "install" link. The phone would then reboot to recovery and then just sit there doing nothing. So I searched for the donwloaded zip but couldn't find it. Booting back into system I found it on the "internal" part of my sd card (I have partitioned my card into 50% for internal and 50% external storage). Obviously TWRP is not properly seeing the "internal" part of the sd card and I didn't find a way to mount that partition.

I moved the zip to my external card then could easily upgrade. No big deal really, just would like to learn if there's some kind of configuration to tell the OTA updater where to put the file
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] NemesisSVK:
Yes, I noticed too that channels above 50 are not visible.. so your issue is more signal strength related.. I could not use the AC even when the phone was connected..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Brozada:
Yes, tried channels 36 and 48. Working perfectly. My router (linksys EA6900) only offers 36,40,44,48 so I'm not able to go far from that. 20MB/s obtained synchronizing to LAN computer. With speedtest I got about 120Mbps Down and 220Mbps up, so compatible with that. Disabling SSID broadcast I was not able to connect after a while, but the same happened to computer, so probably another non related problem with my router setup.

Hi. Have you tested, if the automatic network-switch between 3G and 4G worked as it should?

Regards

Andre
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Brozada:
Not really, but I own two Z1C with SIM cards from different companies. About a month back, when people was having issues with 3G, I never have had a problem with one of the SIMs, but was unable to connect to 3G networks with the other SIM, even moving from one phone to the other. A few updates back, I'm able to connect to 3G and 4G networks without doing anything from both phones, so I'd say the problem is solved, but I've only tested with two providers.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] kowalskie:
Thanks for your test. That are good news. What about VoLTE?

Guys, I moved my TWRP backup file from an Internal SD to the External and now when I want to restore using this backup TWRP says that no partitions have been selected to restore, but when I want to choose any partitions there are none in the TWRP under the Restore option. Did I just broke my backup ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] NemesisSVK:
Could it have something to do with the SD is not mounted, so not visible?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] skoda9635:
Nope. The Micro SD is mounted but still doesn't work. I just moved the backup file to its original location and it works now even with all partitions. Next time I won't move it from its original location.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] NemesisSVK:
Strange. I store TWRP backups on the SD card.

Just did a test to backup and restore from SD card and found no issues at all.

*Update*

Using TWRP 3.2.2.0

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Peterthebrecker:
How can I update to TWRP 3.2.2-0 from 3.2.1-0 ? Is it possible to just flash it like in in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAXyPXRkCb0

Is there a need to get the new version?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] NemesisSVK:
Not sure if there is a need, I guess if everything works, not really.. I put a link to the one I have in my previous post..

Looks like it should work like in the vid, but I have never updated recovery from recovery.. I always use fastboot commands from windows.

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------

*Update*

Updated to latest weekly 20181016 and started some tests..

Still do not see hidden, but 5G was able to connect and be used. Problem is that the signal needs to be really strong, I have to be like 3-5 meters from the AP for 5G to be usable. Even then the latency and speed is nowhere near 2.4G. Very strange, other devices do not have that issue on 5G, so it is not AP related.

But just for info, I have ASUS RT-AC58U, 5G set to N/AC mix, channel bandwidth to 20/40/80MHz, Control channel 48, Extension channel Auto.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
Yep, worked fine for me some days ago
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] NemesisSVK:
Just got a new SD card for the phone, trying to free up some space and move some apps to the SD, but it seems I am not able to move any at all.

On other phones I definitely can, so is there some block on this ROM? Or perhaps some dev setting that needs to be enabled to allow me to move apps to SD?

I will do some tests with manual move...

*Update*

Great that Magisk can be installed anytime, does not need to be installed right after ROM.. like that stuff

*Update*

Seems it is not that simple anymore. Did not want to risk simply moving data/app from the root to the SD, not sure if that would even work.

So tried it the application way. Unfortunately the SD needs to be reformatted to have a second partition that will hold the moved apps. Needs to be a linux partition. I used F2FS.

Found app that can do it all: Apps2SD PRO (in.co.pricealert.apps2sd)

Confirming it all works as expected. I took only 1GB for the F2FS, but seems to be enough for now.

(My apologies if this is off-topic in this thread here, please feel free to direct me somewhere else)

Currently I'm switching between 2 different ROMs testing both to see which one could be the best daily driver for my needs; the other one is 115ek's unofficial LineageOS 15.1.

Every time before I restore a different backup (using TWRP 3.2.2-0) I wipe CACHE, DALVIK/ART, SYSTEM and DATA. Then after reboot I see that some of the apps I had before the last backup are there. But there's always a number of apps that I have to re-install.

Should I try to move these apps to SYSTEM before I create my next backup? Or is there some other method to solve that riddle?

As mentioned in this post (563), there is an issue with the FM app:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77786858&postcount=563

Today I've noticed that the FM app freeze depends on if another app is using the location service (strange, I know).

Until today, I thought the freeze is random. If I only turn on the FM, it could work for hours. But when I went for a bike ride, and I start a tracking app like Strava, OsmAnd, etc, only seconds of screen-off time and the FM is dead.

If I'm only listening to FM and not using any location depending app, the FM will eventually fail, due to some random app trying to get location. But it could work for a long time.

Hi, nice rom SpiritCroc, it's my second rom of you, but I have a little issue, I can't use the vocal digitation because don't start.

Someone have an suggest?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] SpiritCroc:
Not sure what vocal digitation is...

You might also want to provide exact steps to reproduce your issue and a logcat for better chances for a solution.

Location icon bug

Location icon on status bar does not work properly. It is impossible to switch off location in Device only mode. Then location is on and icon is black, single tap on icon opens High accuracy info screen with 'Improve location accuracy?' question. Single tap should switch off location.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] SpiritCroc:
Expected behaviour of location quick settings tile is to toggle through gps modes, so when you have it at device only, it will try to switch to high accuracy after that. I personally don't like that behaviour either, but won't change it because of development focus on Pie.

Thanks. I had WTF moment. It is a bit strange then for ages it was just for a quick ON/OFF.

weird problem with stand by display

hej guys, the rom works almost perfectly for me. only problem is the gps, which takes very long for google maps or other apps to find my location (is there a fix for that) and now i realised a weird problem with my stand by display. when i turn off the display/phone, to go into standby, every now and then the display will light up again for no reason (no messages, no app notifications or anything i can see). does someone know what this could be? thank you very much!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
As a workaround I pinned a shortcut onto my "back" button to open settings > security > location.

Google Pay and Mobile Pay

In the settings on Android, the mobile payment (Tap and Pay) is not selectable or if the option is clicked to get back to the overview of the settings. Please fix the bug. The whole thing is not synonymous with other Custom Roms. only with stick is Google Pay useable.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
Upgraded to the latest weekly build last night. This morning gave GPS behaviour a short test drive. Result here is that I see a small improvement but still don't get a proper 3D fix (using GPS test and GPS Locker); the time for OruxMaps and OSMand to get a proper lock is more or less the same as before (approx. 90 sec this morning).

Question: should I have wiped more than just Cache / Dalvik before upgrading? If so would wiping /system be sufficient, or should I touch /data as well?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] underflash:
I just did fresh install with complete wipe of everything. Tested GPS few times with Google Maps/MapsMe and results were approx. 60 sec. If you are interested I can try GPS Locker with timer to see if there is any difference in results.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
Well, 60 secs is in the range of what I'm having here. Nothing compared to what I saw with what I experienced recently with 115ek's LineageOS ROM. So I don't see much need for you to try GPS Locker, unless you want to do it anyways.
[MENTION=6425591]SpiritCroc[/MENTION]: don't get me wrong please, really appreciate the attempt to improve the various aspects of this really great ROM. :good:

If there's something I can supply like logs or whatever just let me know.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] SpiritCroc:
GPS is exactly the same like 115ek's LineageOS build afaik. Differences might be caused by external conditions (GPS signal strength).

I recently used my amami for navigation and it was actually faster with getting a GPS fix than my OnePlus 5.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
Good to hear. So I'll try a clean install as soon as poosible, probably some old data are interfering here. Or - as you said - maybe it was only a bad spot when I tried
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] SpiritCroc:
First time connecting to GPS always takes longer than on a device with "trained" GPS, so if you are comparing clean install AICP with "trained" LineageOS, that might also be the cause of the difference.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
Know what you mean, but I don't really think this applies here. With 115ek's LineageOS I had almost immediate 3d fix right after a clean install. I'm a bit too busy this week but I'll try a clean install ASAP then let you know
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] DarkofShadow:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] SpiritCroc:
No need to repeatedly post about this.

I don't plan to ever use Google Pay or similar, so I won't work on this. If there are better custom ROMs for you out there, I won't stop you from using them.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
This evening I tried to do a clean re-install of this ROM including complete wipe of data, system and internal storage. Right after booting into system installed Titanium. But no chance to launch that app as it crashes immediately.

Next trying to get a dmesg.txt but that failed, too: entering

dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

leads to

Segmentation fault

:eek:

Did some googling on that error message but didn't find anything helpful.

So I finally restored my previous system (latest weekly), then trying to do the same. And result is the same (>> Segmentation fault!)

Any idea what that message could mean in this context?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] SpiritCroc:
Segmentation faults usually occur due to code errors, when the application is trying to access memory it is not allowed to. In your case, you might want to try out whether dmesg works as root or without redirecting the output to a file.

For debugging Titanium crashes, a logcat is more likely to contain helpful information either way.

instagram doesn't play videos (loading forever)... how to solve it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Peterthebrecker:
I experience the same issue. I force close the app and delete the cache. It then works for a few videos. It's quite annoying though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
yep, dmesg without re-direction worked.

I'm currently in a similar discussion with 115ek in his Lieange ROM thread. I tried a different version of his ROM with SELinux set to "moderate", and there no crashes occured.

I decided to re-partition my sd-card; looks as if there is some kind of problem there. Afterwards I'll try once more
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] firestone9x:
Hey all,

Once again thanks for this great ROM, my GPS can finally get a lock/3D fix with the latest update although it's slow, something is better than nothing. :)

Besides that, I'm curious to know... Does the stock camera on AICP O8.1 function better than the original L5.1 sony camera? For example in terms of image quality, low light shots, Is it also better than the cyberian camera since that project is dead over a year.

And would it be possible to get stabilization in video recording and other features like slow motion?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Peterthebrecker:
I am curious to know if there's a way to get the latest camera app from the pixel 3 on this rom. (at least on android pie)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] Brozada:
About video stabilization, Google Photos has that option for recorded videos. The results are better or at least similar to the stock camera option, so for me is a perfect workaround.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] paroucia:
Hi

Thanks amami for this great ROM.

But when i flashed last ROM i noticed camera can't focus! i reflashed ROM and installed another app but same problem is there yet!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] otzi71:
With last build I also noticed that camera cant focus mainly to the distance
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] firestone9x:
Yeah. That would be amazing if we can get a port!

We can have nice portrait features and low lights stills.

---------- Post added at 01:23 ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 ----------

It works very well but it's just annoying to do every time. Like you said its an excellent workaround.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
Could it be this issue?

Over the weekend I did a complete wipe of my phone including re-partitioning of my SD card, then re-installed everything from scratch. Since then most of my previous issues (esp. with GPS) seem to be gone.

Big :good::good::good: to everyone involved (esp. [MENTION=8036586]115ek[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6425591]SpiritCroc[/MENTION]!)

But: camera's dead again... :crying:

That means another round through flashing Stock ROM then back to AICP. Fingers crossed that this helps the same way it did earlier this month...

(I still don't get it why building up from Stock ROM should make a difference; but there must still be some remainder from Stock in some partition of my phone: every time I flash some ROM through TWRP the log tells the exact version of the Stock ROM I had used before I started using custom ROMs)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] underflash:
Dead you mean not working at all? Camera works at my end, but lagging heavily. Quality looks very very average.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
Meanwhile did the entire loop of re-installing some StockROM - (tested Camera: worked fine!), then wiped and re-installed TWRP, then reinstalled this ROM; right now I'm restoring data. Just a minute ago tried to test camera. Result: dead again. I.e.: no focus, no reaction when trying to take pics.

Not sure what I should try next...

My cell phone battery drain, which I reported at around page 53, seems to be gone. :) Currently I am using the weekly from October 9th.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] underflash:
I just replaced battery with one from Aliexpress (seems original, but came with just 15% charge). I get about 19 hours battery life with 8 hours of active use without phone calls. Have no idea is it good or bad.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
If you ask me I'd say this is quite bad, but the way you use your phone it might be very acceptable. In fact I find it nearly impossible to compare battery drain because everyone is using their phones absolutely differently.

As for me:

My phone is very close to 4 years old now; in the beginning I often had 4 days between charging circles. And even now with a 4 year old battery I sometimes can get close to 3 days.

That is of course due to the way I use my phone:

- mobile data, bluetooth and gps are always switched off, only switch them on when I really need to, then switch off again

- WiFi is automatically switched off when I leave the house or work (I'm using Llama scripts to achieve this)

... and so on

Those are the notorious battery drainers, only topped by display: playing games of course drains the battery the most, mostly because the screen is turned on for quite a while.

I'm aware that most people are using their phones more excessively.

For me the only way to tell and compare is observing battery drain during times when the phone is turned off for hours.

At night I'm having just a few % of drain, but only since I installed an app that's balancing power usage (I'm currently using LSpeed which really is working wonders; I hope it doesn't have too many hidden side effects...); I plan to flash this weeks build tonight, then give it a try without LSpeed and see how it turns out...

____________________

Update:

after (dirty) flashing last Tuesday's build, and after close to 8 hours sleep time (referring to me), with Lspeed being disabled, result is only 17% of the time in Deep Sleep, with 81% of the time running at 300 Mhz.

From previous tests I know that with Lspeed set to "Balanced" I can get well over 90% of Deep Sleep time...

____________________

Update 2:

Dirty flashing the update apparently wasn't such a smart idea; some of my apps are crashing immediately now, and at least one even isn't working after a complete new installation... my fault I guess, should have known better
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] NemesisSVK:
Hmmm.. strange, I am always dirty flashing the updates.. (just installing ROM from TWRP)

Never had any issues with that, not even wiping dalvik/cache.. who would like to clean flash every update, too much work to be efficient.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] n00b0815de:
Quick note: Incredibly thankful for this ROM. Makes my old Z1C (with a new battery) more up-to-date than my XZ1C. Thumps up!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
I totally agree! :good:

Over the weekend finally got my camera working again; still don't know where the trouble came from. Probably has something to do with the way I formatted my SD?

Battery consumption is back to normal as well, i.e. 97% Deep Sleep overnight.

GPS fixes rather quickly after the first usage.

ROM is perfectly stable.

Many thanks again to the team!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] underflash:
I have added LSpeed and used balanced profile. Sometimes then I turn on screen entire status bar is missing. Have you seen the same problem at your end?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Original Android Development] lm089:
No, nothing with status bar etc. Have you tried to play a bit with fullscreen modes (just an idea)?

There are a few very minor observations on my side that I can easily accept:

after each reboot some of the config settings are gone (e.g. battery optimization settings for some apps)

after each reboot it takes several minutes until I get the first GPS fix; from then on fixes are quite fast

sometimes after a reboot screen stays nearly dark; if I press the ON/OFF button I can see the switch-off animation, though. Only after some time the PIN input table or my SIM appears; never had that with any other ROM before

some apps (but only 2 or 3) are incredibly slow e.g. when it comes to screen animations; from one I know that it's quite old (not even available on PlayStore anymore) so it's no real surprise to me

the hour index of the analog clock is not moving in between the hours, i.e. it jumps from hour to hour instead of "sliding" (e.g.: right now it's 12:57 here in Munich but the analog clock looks as if it was 11:57. In 3 minutes it will however show a perfect "13:00")
