[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] VigorPD:
I'm still not sure which direction I will take but am interested in more details on this solution if you would share. I'm a noob at everything you mentioned above. It gives me another idea to create a multi function knob like a simplified version all the new cars have for infotainment control. Rotate for volume, push for mute/power, forward for Home, back for Back, etc.

ISUDAR got back to me and said to load it on an empty USB stick instead. The rear of the case does have an open area marked for mounting a SD slot just no hardware populating it. I just had the unit opened up last week and added a homemade button to allow hitting the power button inside without needing a paper clip. If I open it up again what am I looking for with respect to a header?

I'm pretty keen to hack and customize more but struggle finding all the knowledge bits to connect the dots spanning software and hardware.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] sprotty:
Did you manage to resolve this issue?

I've got the same head unit and the same issue, did you find a solution to the problem?

Thanks
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] frisbin:
kaise123 I have the Xtrons unit as well and need to do a similar solution to yours with a USB dial I have for volume and mute. It looks like you have root on this one. Can you direct me to instructions for rooting this unit?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
You need to be more specific, Xtrons are a seller not a manufacturer, there are no Xtrons units - units are identified by the MCU so you need to post that and the Andorid version youre running. There are also many guides to rooting.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] frisbin:
Thanks for the instruction about that.

Like kaisel123, mine is labeled TE706PL (xtrons).

It shows Model px5, Android version 8.0.0, MCU version MTCE_GS_V2.78_3

Found some threads, reading through.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Right, you have a GS Oreo unit, theres a thread about rooting or Malaysk's ROM is rooted.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] frisbin:
Okay, after much trying I have rooted the unit without bricking or such.

To help the next noob who has not yet found a way to do it, this is what worked for me (other methods did not work for me):

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76725981&postcount=740

And if you have not done "adb" activity before, this can help you get going:

https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

To succeed with the process, one must find a successful download of SuperSU. (I found a number of posts giving ways that failed to work) To succeed with this simple task, do a google search for "SuperSU v2.79 zip". From the results it is not too much trouble to find a link that will work to get a valid zip download that contains the package with the su file that is needed.

After spending a great deal of time getting to this point, I will proceed now with the volume control knob enabling task.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tensux:
I bought this, and though it says in the description that it is Exynos, they sent me a snapdragon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079X7DQ4Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i am returning it today, but before I go through the trouble again, i would like to make sure i am getting the correct model. I didnt even realize it until after noticing the OEM lock in download mode, i installed the phone info app. The same thing happened to me when i bought my first S7 a couple years ago.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] eaglerazor123:
N9600 is Snapdragon, so don't get them. If you want Exynos (G960F) with immediate OEM Unlock, buy it from Clove UK. But if you're okay of waiting 7 days to get OEM Unlock after getting device, buy it from eBay. Search for G960F/DS, which are dual sim and Exynos model.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tensux:
thanks i ended up giving it to some cute girl who works for me instead of returning it. i may stick with my s8 until there is some more development. it did seem faster and the screen was brighter, but i can hold off for a bit
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RyanMc:
Hi all

I have an o2 xda orbit pda and I downloaded from this website the program that allows you to expand the storage card memory for the phone.

Like it said in the readme file I installed SDHC.CAB and I then went to overwrite /windows sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll.

On going to overwrite the first one it comes up

Cannot copy sdbus:There has been a sharing violation

The source or destination file may be in use.

But It isn't and I can't get it past that point

I then go to overwrite sdmemory.dll but it comes up:

Cannot copy sdmemory: Acess is denied

Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read only, and that you have permission to copy this file.

Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong as I have no idea.

Thanks in advance

Ryan

I wish to buy with a Snap (HK), but do not know which version is better. I heard that Exynos version has more mods, community.

Or P20 Pro? )

p.s. I do not want to have a ROOT and gaming.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Snaqejack:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sprockettyz:
As of now exynos kernel is not optimised. Snap845 version will have better battery life.

Get the snap from China or Hk if u want dual sim.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sirsomething:
Not according to GSM arena and I've seen some battery tests and exynos version has quite good battery life in this state. With optimisations it will be even better but it's not lacking right now. Maybe the only worse thing than SD is the GPU
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sprockettyz:
I'm using exynos now.... Max abt 4hr SOT... Maybe this is normal. But I'm keen to try SD version...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sirsomething:
O think you'd be disappointed :p but if you have the opportunity go ahead. SoT always depends of your usage and if you're getting 4h now I doubt you'd have much more with sd
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sprockettyz:
Would it be safe to say that the anandtech article by Andrei doesn't mean that Snapdragon has better battery life?

I love my s9 just that I find battery drain faster than my s8...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sirsomething:
What I mean is it might have better battery life but not by that much. S8 is already optimized. I think in the next few months people will be pleasantly surprised with the kernel optimisations Samsung will deliver. Exynos have better potential than sd and if they want they can give us excellent battery, better than the s8 but I guess we'll have to wait. Just relax and enjoy the amazing phone
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] force70:
That's terrible, my s7 edge, S8 plus, and Note FE are better than that.

Ive been waiting for buy an S9 to how this battery issue pans out. I always buy exynos for the unlocked BL and roms etc. But have waited this year due to the exynos issues and even considered the snapdragon because the new exyno is so badly optimized.

Coming from a pixel 2 xl where i get 6hrs plus SOT 4hrs will not cut it.

sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] chaos_envoys:
my battery usage wasn't as terrible at that.. my exynos version regular s9 always get 5hrs SOT at minimal, even at heavy usage days with poor reception.. my SOT averages in 5hrs 30mins though.. not a bad one but not the best too
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] force70:
While it's true battery consumption will greatly vary pending useage, apps, location...tons of variables it seems the exynos this year is overall not very good.

Your numbers are better but it seems more people are not having your luck

Alright I haven't seen anyone find this yet, so I'll post it here. You WILL need root access to continue.

DISCLAIMER - I've tested this on the MIUI 8.4.3 global beta (oreo) only, but i guess it might work on all miui versions. Please report your results.

Okay enough talking, lets get to it.

1. Open /system/etc/device_features/whyred.xml

2. Find the line that says "support_camera_4k_quality"

3. Change the "false" to "true", then save the file. (check attached screenshot)

4. Reboot and boom, you have UHD 4K option under video resolution ;)

That's pretty much it! Cheers

As the title asks: has anyone here got the phone yet? What are your thoughts on it? I got mine yesterday. So far, I'm impressed yet slightly bored due to the lack of new features.

The phone itself is amazing, quick and beautiful. The fingerprint scanner is fast, the phone is comfortable to hold but lacks anything exciting from it!

Post some thoughts below! :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sumenthus:
Have you tested Displayport Alt? It's part of the USB 3.1 standard and any USB-C to HDMI/Display Port adapter should work, even if it's branded for a laptop for a laptop.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devzz:
No I haven't tried that actually. I'll have to look it up and see if I can try it! I'll report back if I manage.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] murrayalex:
My immediate reaction is, I wish this thing was in the omnibalance design. It is too chunky for me, I don't like the curve of the back which is really quite thick in the middle. Very slippy as well, slips all over the place..

It is very quick, the screen is very nice and as usual, for me anyway, battery life is very good.....darn it, if only the XZ2 was a bigger screened version of the XZ1 form factor.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] smallfish82:
This phone needs a case - no doubt about it - it could be very slippery otherwise.

I've come from the Pixel 2 XL (due to Google's inability to code updates properly; luckily they refunded me even after 5 months!) - the XZ2 certainly is bigger and heavier but it fits better in my pocket...

There were nice things Google had done to Android that improves the user experience that the Sony like others will not have. Nothing functionally different just a bit 'dull' in terms of experience.

The camera of the XZ2 is not up to Pixel 2 standards but I've yet to play with it properly.

I like the XZ2 - I hope I feel this way in six months time.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devzz:
I agree with the phone being slippery! I can't even hold it between my shoulder and ear without it wanting to fall within seconds! Also needs a screen protector which I've had no luck finding.

As for the form factor, it doesn't seem half bad in all honesty. I come from the HTC 10 so for me it feels nice to hold and I personally like the curve on the back!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devzz:
+1 for dull. That's the first thought I had after setting it up. I want to root/unlock the bootloader so I can put xposed on it for customisation but I don't want to lose the DRM keys either.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] pepzin:
Love it! I came from Z3... Fast, good battery life in my opinion. Nice screen, doesn't feel that thick to me. The only thing I dislike is how slippery it is. Bought a Qi charger that I put it on first night I had it. Looked like It was laying still. 20 minutes later it woke me up when it had slid off and hit the floor ? it survived, but I instantly ordered a case for it.

I will charge it on the floor for now ?

Only trouble for me with pixel us that call recording does not work on it otherwise I would have got one
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
After a few days of use, the phone is a solid choice.

Striking a good balance with a decent screen size & still manageable to use one-handed.

The display is plenty bright , even in sunlight outdoors, colors are excellent, right up there with the best AMOLED displays on the market.

Sound from the FF Dual speakers is plenty voluminous, quality is there as well, tweak with your music/equalizer app of choice or, as I do, use what's on board.

The addition of wireless charging is welcome, THX Sony!

Ditto for the US model having a working FPR.

I'd prefer a front or side-mounted FPR, but, use of the FPR is waaay down on my list of desired features, I can take or leave it, regardless of position, or, missing altogether.

Battery life, well, JMHO, you'd be hard pressed to find any phone that's not at least acceptable & this one is no different. The discussions on battery life are subjective at best & range to the ridiculous.

My 2¢ on the subject:

If you're employed/in-school, or otherwise engaged in activities that take priority over using your phone full time, odds are you can make it 1.5-2 days between charges on any phone. If you have more free time than that, YMWV.

No phone is perfect & this one, while I think is a keeper, has a few areas in need of improvement.

1) No 3.5 mm jack. While this is of no consequence to me, nevertheless, it was a boneheaded decision to drop the option, 'nuff said.

2) It's gotta be the slickest (read:SLIPPERY) phone I've ever used. If you're gonna use a case, this is moot, but, when I'm @ home, I like to shed the case for a more comfortable grip. The fit in hand is perfect, but, I do wish Sony woulda/coulda done something with the back glass to ensure a more secure grip. (Textured glass, a la Sandstone finish, just spit-ballin' here).

3) The super-sized vibration motor is, IMHO, total nonsense. The space it occupies would have been better utilized for the MIA 3.5 mm jack, larger battery, an I-R Blaster.

One or all of these would be welcome, compared to the gimmicky vibration motor.

4) No 6GB RAM option Stateside (possibly in other markets as well,worth looking into before buying).

I bought a 6GB RAM model on Swappa, but, having the different RAM versions, especially in the price range, is a head-scratcher.

Overall, a very nice phone for every day use. As for recent offerings (six months or so), I've used the following:

Sony Xperia XZ Premium

Note FE

Mi Mix2 (highly recommend)

Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design

Note 8

Xiaomi Mi A1

RazerPhone

Moto X4 (Android One)

OnePlus 5T

Galaxy S9+

Huawei Mate 10 Pro

I'd take this one, the Sony Xperia XZ2, every time, without hesitation. Still have the Xiaomi Mi Note2 as a 2nd phone..........................,the Mi Mix2, OnePlus 5T & Samsung Galaxy Note FE were/are viable daily drivers,can't go wrong w/either one of 'em.

They're all great phones, but, for my use, the XZ2 is tops.

Put a stylus on your phone already Sony,& I'd probably never give the competition more than a casual glance....
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] murrayalex:
I was going to send it back after a few days but it is growing on me, the screen is really really nice, with good deep blacks and superb brightness and clarity (it is hard to believe it is not a higher resolution), it is very fast and it has a very premium feel (if a little slippy). I also have the XZ1 and prefer the form factor of the XZ1 but the XZ2 has more going for it as an overall package. Some online reviews have been quite dismissive at times of this phone but it does have something, a bit of character?

Personally, I'd never buy a Samsung for a lot of reasons and I suppose you could call me a bit of a Sony fanboy in that I've owned lots of them down the years. This is the best Sony phone for a good long while, a great all rounder.

Very pleased with this one.
