[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] skilli:
Hi

Im very Happy with the Oreo Update for the Essential Phone. The only thing that doesn't work ist the Equalizer with Spotify. Does it work with your phone? I tried it via Bluetooth and the USB-C Adapter both failed.

My Phone is not Rooted and haven't Plan it to do. With the Beta and Android 7 the Equalizer seems Fine.

Thanks for your Help
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Caltinpla:

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] skilli:
Thanks for your Feedback i will try to Clear the Cache from MusicFX and hope for the best
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] skilli:
Have found the Solution... its from 2013

I figured out what is causing the problem and this is when using the music fx equalizer any song you are playing from a playlist that is stored for offline use and you own that song this will cause the equalizer not to work. Once another song you do not own is played the equalizer works again. The only way to get a song you own to work with the equalizer is to go to the custom settings of the equalizer when the song you own is playing and click ok and the equalizer will work until spotify hits another song you own. This problem caused me to delete some songs I own off the phone and then delete the playlist and download it again so the playlist does not use a song I own and then the equalizer will not turn off.

Thanks Caltinpla:good:
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
Wow, that's a very particular circumstance and process to fix. Sure seems like a bug in Spotify and/or interface with the equalizer app.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rignfool:
Interesting...

I personally think it's malarkey...

Because... The built in equalizer will only work on songs that you have stored... When streaming... Deep Buffering kicks in... This causes more download from streaming audio sources... And bypasses the equalizer... Hence why you need to remove deep buffering to make streaming audio process...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HippoInWindow:
Do you mean a software issue? If it is, then follow the steps below:

Pre-requisites:

1. Your HTC One with a decent amount of battery juice

2. A Computer that recognizes your device when put into recovery mode

3. Internet Connection

Steps:

1. [On your HTC device] Hold down Power+Volume Down to get into bootloader mode.

2. [On your HTC device] Use the vlume keys to highlight the option "RECOVERY"

3. [On your HTC device] Connect to your computer using an USB cable

4.

[TWRP] Select "Mount" and make sure MTP is enabled.

[CWM] Select "Mount and Storage", than "Mount USB"

Note: I haven't used CWM for a while, I don't know the exact steps

5. [On your PC] Make sure your HTC Device is recognized as "MTP Device"

6. [On your PC] Download the proper ROM to flash

7. [On your PC] Transfer the file to flash on your HTC Device/ADB Sideload

8. [If file transfered, not adb sideload]

[TWRP] Select "Install", then pick the ROM to flash

[CWM] Select "apply update from sdcard", than pick a ROM to flash

9. Once they're all done, attempt to reboot your device.

Just like the custom ROM installation guide.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] dafunkydan:
Hey Guys,

i'm really tempted to buy an Xperia XZ1 Compact, but am really wondering if i can live with the Restrictions Sony 'implemented'. I read some threads, but am still unsure about some facts.

I thought Id write down what i found out, would you mind to correct any conclusion that is wrong? ;) (As of 2018 Mar 21)

1) By unlocking the Bootloader, the DRM-Keys are lost forever, thereby warranty is likely void

2) By now there is no way to backup the DRM-Keys. There is a Bounty-Program for finding a solution, but by now that isnt solved, and it seems more unlikely that a solution might pop up anytime soon.

3) It is possible to unlock every Bootloader, even those with status "allowed: no"

4) Sony provides an official way to unlock the Bootloader, but that renders the Camera (and some other Features) unusable.

5) There is a DRM-Fix that simulates the DRM-Keys, so it is possible to use the Camera and other Special Features without any downside, aside that the original DRM-Keys are gone forever.

6) If not rooted, it is always possible to downgrade the Firmware to a Version that is compatible with XperiFIX

7) Even without Root, it is possible to uninstall every unwanted Package over ADB

8) Even without Root, it is possible to disable/delete unwanted sounds like Startup/Shutter/Screenshot etc...

Would be really glad if you could correct anything that might be wrong, so i can really decide if could live with those limitations!

Thankin u! :good:

add bluetooth problems to your list of cons.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 4rz0:
With the Bootloader unlocked, you won't receive OTA updates anymore.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
No Bluetooth problems here.

The DRM fix made by sToRm// works on any firmware (next release) and any XZ device.

The DRM that sony installed is broken when you unlock your bootloader and sToRm//'s fix enables it. So there is no loss of quality with the camera, it's exactly as stock. The DRM is fixed or broken, the camera is fixed or broken, there is no half way 'dodgy' pictures that people imagine.

Yes, you won't receive any OTA updates if your phone is rooted, but there is Xperiafirm and Newflasher, to keep you up to date. Then reflash with sToRm//'s app and you're good to go.

Yes, you can delete or disable apps you don't want without root.

Disabling sounds needs no special permissions and the level of tweaking as to what apps make visible/audible notifications on Oreo is superb.

In the old days you wanted to root your phone to control all the battery eating apps, but Google/Sony have been aware of the drive to extend battery life for a long time now and with a few exceptions, changing the configuration of the services will probably make your battery worse not better. The battery life on the XZ1 compact is the best of any phone I've had, straight out the box, no tweaking required.

The only other main driver for rooting your phone was to be able to customise it and change the frramework colours, but you can do that without root now.

Be sure you want to root you phone for the right reasons, not because it's fashionable, or because you want Xposed installed so that when you press the volume the flash comes on.

There's a chance you'll break your phone in the process, so is what you want to root your phone for important enough to have to buy a new phone for?

I'm not trying to put you off, but if you read sToRm//'s thread, there's loads of people getting into a real mess trying to root when they don't even know what ADB is. They've unlocked their phones, broken the camera, but now stuck unable to get the fix to work. Don't go there.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] DavidSnake:
Hi there. Just giving my two cents here.

First the op is right I think in everything he said. I'm just not sure what the unlock bootloader part but other than that looks legit. It's a great idea for topic because Sony really screwed up some things in this phone. I had a z3 compact before which lasted like 2 years until I decided to upgrade to a s8 last year. Great phone but I really didn't like the size so decided to switch back to this. Overall I like it but the limitations Sony has put are ridiculous and defeat the whole purpose of getting an android.

Anyways I wanted to root because I use VPN and as a result I couldn't get a decent ad block solution because of that. Now with root I can use adaway and mimminguard while using VPN so I'm happy. Anyways I bought the phone on a online shop with only 3 month warranty. As it expires next week I decided to give it a go during the weekend.

With xperifix its really a simple process the dev made a great job. I'm far from being an expert in Android stuff and I could do it almost hassle free. So if you really want to root the phone and don't care about the TA or warranty go for it. Otherwise stay out of it as the last user said
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Hansoliv:
Good day.

I had several Android phones, and all rooted except the lastest two, Galaxy S8 and Sony xperia XZ1 compact.

I see no real advantage in rooting latelly, Android OS has become more mature and apps like xposed, titanium backup, greenify are no longer needed IMO.

I used xposed for astetic purpose.

Now is possible to backup Apps and data with Xperia Backup, it is possible to freeze system apps with BK disabler, so i no longer need Titanium backup.

I can force doze the phone with Naptime, and apps are hibernated earlier, so no longer need for Greenify.

Not worth loosing warranty.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] c_tho:
+ you can theme with substratum without root. i really cannot see why people bother with root these days.

edit: not trying to be contentious, i get that some people still love to root for some niche mods. i just mean that compared to five years ago when i needed a tonne of mods to get my galaxy s3 looking and feeling nice, there seems to be much less need for it with a device/OS this good and so many great rootless mods.

Is it possible to encrypt the device with a password at boot, with pin+fingerprint and only user fingerprint at boot?

i'm looking to strengthen my security with a new device and upgrade from z3 compact, but still unsure. love the compact, hate DRM-stuff of sony
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
The phone partiton is encrypted by default.

You only need to set either pin unlock or pattern unlock (both have fingerprint option) and that will lock the phone and make the partition unreadable, no MTP access or recovery access via TWRP.

If you want to read the phone in TWRP then you need to have set the pin unlock and TWRP will ask you for the pin to continue.

This doesn't apply to the external SD card.

Fingerprint unlock to boot? you've been watching too many spy movies.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] allofmex:
Keys are lost, warranty not necessarily. I unlocked bootloader on a Z1 compact and had to sent it later to Sony because of defect battery and they fixed it without complaints.

Yes, not sure when or if ever a vulnerability that allows root acces will be found. For Tablet Z4 it took very long time until I could backup my keys (~ 1.5 years as far as I remember)

Seems to be solved (did not test it). But not perfect solution of course. Needs for example additional steps on every firmware update.

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/kernel-sony-xz1-compact-16-january-2018-t3736068

Yes, no problem. Use FlashTool and XperiFirm. Doesn't matter if bootloader unlocked or not. In some cases you may need to reset data to factory default too on downgrade. It may be wise to backup firmware packages when new version is released because you can download only latest and second latest in XperiFirm. Older get removed!

Sadly no, you can only disable system apps. You would need read/write access to system partition which you cannot get without root.

Examples of uninstallable apps: "Amazon Kindle", "Amazon Shopping", "AVG Protection", "Facebook", "Facebook App Manager", "Spotify", "Talkback".... oh Sony :( )

No startup sound present at all.

Shutter sound can be disabled in Camera settings.

Screenshot sound cannot be disabled.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
You can uninstall all of those,, permanaently, without root, perhaps you are unfamiliar with ADB?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] allofmex:
Thanks for the hint. The end of your linked article mentions that these apps are still not deleted from device. They are just deleted for default user (user 0). It is a little bit better than disabling the app because if they are "uninstalled" by mentioned adb command the don't show up in your Settings -> App list anymore, but you will not free space on device.

I just tested it before, no change on free storage size after "pm uninstall...".
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Are you leaving the '-k' switch in?

pm uninstall -k --user 0 "package name goes here"

the 'k' switch preserves the folder and data and I'n not entirely sure why the example of how to uninstall shows that configuration.

If you delete without that switch, it will infact remove the files

pm uninstall --user 0 "packagenamegoeshere"
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dany XP:
Think about it before rooting or mess up the phone.

I already wrote this in another thread.

Seriously, it's not KitKat days anymore guys. Besides adblockers, what do u need root for since Android Oreo? And I mean really useful stuff, not theming or or freaking sounds...

And about the damn ad blocker, u can Google it and u will find a few ways to have it, without root.

.... Or maybe it's just me getting older so I don't see any reason to bother about it ???

BK disabler for XZ1 compact?

I checked out BK disabler in Play store, it says it's for Samsung only and it's a paid app with no trial version. However I did notice in reviews (if I pick "From this device model only") that someone with XZ1 compact gives this app 5 stars. Is this a better way to deal with unwanted uninstallable apps than ADB?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Hansoliv:
Good day.

:eek:. Sorry, i totally forgot it was a paid app, i bought it for my Galaxy S8 last year. It seems that the last version is 10.9 that works in all android.

And i followed this instruction. (https://kunkunsoft.wordpress.com/setup_device_owner_2/)

I personally use the app, because i freeze apps i only use sometimes, like facebook or instagram, and don't want them to be in the app drawer and using resources in the background.

If you only want to freeze bloatware and uninstalable and forget about them, is better (and cheaper) doing it by adb. :D

(Recently i read an article that disabling apps does not have any impact in battery consumption whatsoever)

BTW, if you do not want your games or apps like facebook be running in background and use resources, you could try App Ops (this one is free, i promise).

I use it for my games, facebook and google play store (the most known battery hoggers) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rikka.appops)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] strate aero:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I actually don't mind paying for an app if it works well on my device. It would only bother me if I bought it only to find out it didn't work (I guess I could request a refund) anyway I was just trying to verify that it indeed did work with XZ1 compact. I read the instructions in the link and using BK Disabler is a bit more involved than just installing the app and using it to freeze other apps. You need to temporarily remove all your accounts and use ADB!

The main app I'm trying to get rid of is What's New, I have already disabled everything else I don't want. For some reason Sony won't let that app be disabled the regular way.

Thanks for the tip about App Ops , looks like it needs to used by ADB and needs "a little bit troublesome setup steps" in the words of the developer, oh well, :rolleyes: I guess I'll try looking into this a little further but no matter what I'll be needing to use ADB to get the job done
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
If you're going to the trouble of setting up ADB, you don't need any apps to disable a service.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] strate aero:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply, I checked out your link. Apparently to get rid of What's New I would have to remove package com.sonymobile.entrance ,right? I was noticing in that thread a few users were reporting that they needed to reset their devices because they apparently removed something they weren't supposed to but they didn't say what that was. Is What's New somehow linked to System Update or something else that might be important? Should I maybe leave it alone:confused: just wondering why Sony wouldn't allow that app to be disabled if it wasn't important somehow
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Hansoliv:
I decided to remove BK disabler and force doze and let the phone be. It seems that having some apps disabled that way confuse the OS and it uses more battery.

I will try and use the method above and remove What's New and Support app, and leave the OS manage things.

DEBRICK image needed for I747UCUFNJ2 ( 4.4.2 )

This is the last version of i747 .

who can create it ... ??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
I'm on NJ1, so I can't make anything you couldn't find linked here. Out of curiosity, have you tried any of the other 4.4.2 debrick images? We used to think there was no going backwards at all post Knox, but we have found out you can roll NJ2 back to NE4. That gives me at least a slim hope that an NJ2 brick might boot off an NE4 or NJ1 debrick image. The efuses to prevent it from doing so aren't blown anyway.

To anyone running NJ2 who can lend a hand these are the commands you need to run:

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/debrick.bin bs=1024 count=81920

Device has to be rooted with a rom that supports dd or working busybox.

If you don't have success or get any help I can look into updating my i747 to NJ2, but I'd prefer not to. My typical policy with bootloaders and modems is if things are working, then just don't touch them.
