[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonyVLT25ISonyVLT25I:
Hello everybody.

I have a real weird problem, after I switched to XZ1 Compact (Oreo 8.0) and tried to restore my SMS messages through local back up (do not like to do it through Google, care about my privacy) it ended up with blinking empty SMS threads/blinking empty messages threads in Messages app (see the screenshot below). Why is that so? And what can be done?

I have tried multiple apps and multiple Factory resets for this: SMS Backup & Restore from SyncTech Pty Ltd, and Super Backup from Mobile Idea Studio, but no joy.

Please, help.

[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] Autonomus:
Hey folks, yesterday i made a serious mistake trying to root my nokia, that resulted in my phone not being able to boot android.

I tried several guides trying to install trwp, but everytime i tried to flash using fastboot like this:

It kept complaining that twrp file was to large. So i did some random searches and ended up using the following command from a random noob, which i never shouldn't have done because after it my phone hangs on splash screen :(

This is the command i did use:

Using this command my phone seemed to flash, but it wont boot anymore.

Does anyone know how to repair my nokia and flash twrp without complaining that twrp.img file is to large? Is there a way to recover my phone from the mistake i have made? Any tips, hints or help is highly appreciated.

Greets,

Autonomus

Hi,

I recently purchased Eonon CA8163R and i can't seem to get google assistant to work, it simply does not pick up any sound.

The external mic is working as i have no problem making phone calls. I tried with the bluetooth option enabled and disabled in the google app, i just can't seem to get it to work no matter what i try.

I couldn't find any option to tell the app which mic to use (internal/external), is there something i am missing? anything else i can try?

P.S. i emailed eonon support afew days ago and did not receive any response..

Thanks in advance

If I reset my phone I would like to have the apps already installed so that you do not have to look for apps from the play store every time and have to reinstall them.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] @ARC-S@:
I have a pretty tight budget and I have the choice between an upgrade to the Moto X and Xperia XZS

The Moto X still has a warranty and the JBL module so I'm just curious of what actual Z users feel ?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Jeik:
What?

Moto X or Moto Z, choose what you're talking about.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] David1one:
No, it's not. Sure it has kinda good specs for the low price, but that low battery capacity is dragging the whole package down. Only after half a year my friends Moto Z's battery capacity already seems a lot worse than it did before. There is no denying that the battery is just not enough if you're not willing to use these bulky and expensive battery mods. Only upside is that it charges fast. I feel like there are a lot of better contenders out there for the tight budget.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Edmontonchef:
If you can get a good deal it's a nice phone. It's easy to flash custom ROMs.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] @ARC-S@:
Thanks for the replies guys! But SLR I'm in the exam period. I got the Z, in many ways I feel it's better than my destroyed LG G6, the screen is better.

Build is awesome and front camera is a wows my friends who use iPhones. Except the battery sucks **** and lack of the headphone jack.

The JBL mod is great and I plan on getting the Incpio battery mod.. If the Z2 Force will be getting Treble support! Because I want to stick to the Z line.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] jonshipman:
None of the current Z/Z2 models will be getting official Treble support. I think someone has added Treble to a Z with Lineage. I believe there's a thread on /r/moto_z about that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] post36:
One of the function I use most on my wizard is the (flash) light in the camera mode. But its pretty annoying to have to go to cameramode every time i need a light. Maybe someone knows how to add a light on/off button or a shortcut or something to add to the htc home plugin. I would help me a lot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bpapa9013:
Would love to know from a dev if this is possible!

I have been wondering if this is possible as well ever since I first got my phone. I always figured that if it was easy to do someone would have done it by now...

I mean just write a prog that checks the status of the hook to turn on/off the light and simply have it switch the status. No GUI necessary simply click the exe to switch the light on/off that way you could simply drop a link or ref to the program in whatever launcher you use and have that act as the button itself wham-bam-boom-done.

Being that I have never seen a prog that would do this I figured that you would need to do something unnecessarily complex to accomplish this; like you would be required to initialize the whole camera 'stack' (prob wrong terminology but whatever), something akin to starting a really messy windows service in order to even get the light to come on. I wouldn't want to have to deal with that kind of cpu load just to have an easily accessible flashlight function... :confused:

But if it can be accomplished easily I would love to see this developed!:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] StevesDesigns:
Ooh Ooh Ooh... Me too!!!

That would be an awsome little program!

I install Car Stereos and Alarms... Heres the Stereo Guys version of making this work...

1> Take apart the Phone.

2> Find the light and cut the positive side of the LED. (assuming there is a common ground. would test for this prior to cutting)

3> Diode Isolate the primary (camera side) of the circuit

4> Diode Isolate the Secondary (new function) side of the circuit

5> from that point run a toggle switch inline on the secondary side to the battery... (careful soldering here... as well on circuit board)

6> Mount toggle switch to side of phone with electrical tape and hot glue!!! Ta Da!!!

hehe...

The above is for humourous information purposes only... Anyone putting a toggle switch on the side of their phone to turn on an LED is 1> Way cool for doing it and 2> Way geekier than me! While it may work, I wouldnt do it... hehehehe

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kanej2006:
I was lucky to find a huge electronics shop that had a working unit for the new Sony XZ2, unfortunately not for sale but a demo.

Aside from the back, which was a huge fingerprint magnet, the front of the device looked really nice. Compared to the old XZ Premium, it's a lot more compact. It's a shame it lacks the 3.5mm audio jack and has the 18:9 aspect ratio giving black bars, but I must say, the screen looks fantastic, it blew me away.

It's almost AMOLED like, deep blacks, strong/vivid colours and decent brightness. I saw the Jumanji movie trailer which came with the phone and it looked fantastic, no complaints here.

Sony promised a 20% increase in sound and they kept their word. The volume was set to the maximum in the above trailer yet it remained free of any distortion and was indeed substantially louder. The vibration S-Force effect was cool, along with action scenes, explosions and such you get vibration effects with which you can control or simply turn off.

I did not play around too much with the camera but low light images were impressive, far better than previous models.

As for the little compact, similar to the XZ, but, matte plastic back finish. At least no finger prints when handling the device.

With regards to speed and response, very very fast. No lag or delays, super fast. The snapdragon 845 is a beast. Once this device gets root and custom roms, it'll be a rocket.

Anything I missed or any questions with regards to the above devices, let me know and I'll respond.

DisplayPort Alt

For the love of god please test USB-C DisplayPort Alt to DP, HDMI, anything! I bought 2 XZPs to experiment with replacing my desktop entirely at work and RDP for anything I couldn't do in a browser with desktop view. But alas, Sony confirmed that waas disabled that as a "design decision" and you can't get any output despite the 835 supporting on other somehow more vanilla devices.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kanej2006:
It is! and the Snapdragon 845 is around 30% faster than the 835 which is already a beast! In most benchmarks the XZ2 is actually faster than the Samsung S9 series such as AnTuTu 7, Basemark OS 2.0, GFX 3.0 Manhattan, GFX 3.0 Manhattan, GFX 3.1 Manhattan, GFX 3.1 Car scene and Basemark X.

It even beats iphone X in the graphics department. It's better in GFX 3.0 Manhattan, GFX 3.1 Manhattan and GFX 3.1 Car scene.

Very very impressed with the performance of this device and the new Snapdragon 845.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RelicUser:
Soooo I did read on the forums like a few months ago that someone's phone fell and his fingerprint reader stopped working.

I fear that may have happened to my phone, it fell from bed height to the floor (it has a rubber case) and I just picked it, nothing happened anyways, so I tried using the fingerprint scanner but it didn't work so I figured my fingers were sweaty or something like that.

This morning I try to do the fingerprint recognition and none of them register (Left index finger & Right index finger).

If this is truly the case then my fingerprint scanner is rendered useless, does anyone know how I can possibly fix it or is it just a dead function now?

EDIT: I restarted the phone to see if that would fix the problem, and then I went into settings to check the recognition and if it works.

Lo and behold the Fingerprint ID management setting has disappeared from my categories in the settings!!! I tried searching it and it shows up, but when I tap on fingerprint management it just blacks out and sends me back to the settings menu.

W H Y T_T
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RelicUser:
Screenshot of my Settings menu after I restarted the phone, notice how the Fingerprint ID category is completely gone ;-;
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Looks like the OS detects the fingerprint reader as broken, and so it hides the fingerprint menu as consequence since it automatically decides that it's useless... Sincerely, if the fingerprint reader is really broken, the only idea that comes in my mind (if you're still on warranty period) is make a try by contacting Huawei's service center in way to make them fix the scanner, but you don't want to tell'em that your phone's felt because in this case warranty won't cover you.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RelicUser:
Thanks redskull, I'll try to contact them, I've been wondering if it maybe disconnected, or something of that sort.. because it just does not seem possible it can break from such a low height :/ I'll definitely try everything though.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
I can't really now, but this phone surely isn't the best about making resistance to drops on the floor. It's always a mid-range device, so even if it carries good hardware and camera, hurts could often be a pain. Hope well for you!

I think flashing via flashtool wiping everything should bring you back to the original form (except from Bootloader remaining unlocked). Then you have to gain back root, though (if I got your point).
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] romut:
Sorry for this later answer. [MENTION=1516065]eresac[/MENTION] it worked...almost.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Nimda01:
I think Emma might offered you a firmware for non-retail device (ex. Demo unit in store, Review unit, Exchange unit at service center) which has no update and shouldn't be use as daily driver.

Try reflashing it with different firmware. If there isn't any different firmware to select in Emma, use Androxyde's flashtool instead.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] romut:
Emma offers only one firmware. And this is 6.0.1.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Nimda01:
You can download it from flashtool (via XperiFirm plugin) following this guide. The title said Marshmallow but this method is compatible with newer firmware too.
