[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mp107:
Does anyone still encounter this problem after a year and half since the issue has been noticed?

Did any update in the meantime fixed the problem for someone who struggled with it?

I ask as I consider buying the XZ1 Compact.

I read a lot about it and found mentions about two possible problems:

1. Problem with Wi-Fi on channel above 64 (5GHz band). Fix: Change router AP channel to lower. [source (RUS)]

2. Problem with using Wi-Fi with routers equipped with Broadcom's WLAN hardware. Fix: Change router. [missed source]

Why can't I fix the problem? I can't unlock the bootloader. I type "fastboot oem unlock" on the CMD and this message appears

Failed "remote: oem unlocked is not allowed"

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Syndor:
This is with a custom rom, after this first test, I turned off wifi scanning.

and put battery saving from 15 % to turn on at 25%, also, I set the screen to use half the pixels while on battery saving, I'm hoping to reach around 5 hours SoT with around 24 hours of standby.

Should be doable?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] marko.dnb:
Yeah, about normal SoT, but it depends on what apps you use, what number of them are running in the background etc. To me both of OP and Nikola_zr are pretty much standard SoT and overall battery life.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] CosmicDan:
To be fair the app itself isn't really much of an impact, but the screen being on during that app. YouTube won't actually use much because we have a dedicated video decoder hardware.

You would find that 90%+ of that YouTube usage is screen on time while YT was in foreground.

If you're in oreo, this battery life is pretty normal. Why? There's only 4h on screen time, whereas Android oreo has (in this moment) the more enhanced deep sleep, being off-screen almost doesn't take battery life. This is why you got 23h withou charging.

Agreed. Facebook app is a huge baterry drainer (trust me, I had a Zenfone 5, I NEEDED TO BACKUP BATTERY lol). So, since Zenfone I found out that stock Facebook app eat a bunch of battery (even if backgrounding), I started to use Web version and now FBLite wich does pretty much the same as the stock FB app, but almost without draining battery.

Tip: use FBlite and be happy :D
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] CosmicDan:
FB uses a lot on low RAM devices I've found, but on Mi A1 it doesn't seem like too much. If you turn off all notifications and video autoplay, anyway.

I've tried all the alternative FB clients and they're pretty crap compared to official app. None of them remember the news feed position you're at if you go in to comment on something, for example. It always reloads.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] dramcio:
Hi,

After update to 8.1 from 7.x I have a lot of problems. (These problems coming from restore a folder /data from 7.x version ...)

First that, my wifi doesn't work, so I have to remove one folder in /data/, and wifi start working.

Second problem, was about Internet - wasn't work, I remove one folder in /data/, and Internet start working

Now I have trouble with hotspot.

1) In developer settings I have option 'hardware tethering accelerator' when i turn it on, close developer settings, and open again - this option turns off

2) When I try to tether by Wifi/USB/BT I cant do this,

For example,

I turn off my phone internet, start wifi hotspot.

I see SSID, and I join to hotspot by laptop, I can do this.

After this I turn on internet in my phone, I'm still connected in laptop, but laptop dont have internet and I see a text 'ERROR' under 'turn on hotspot wifi' in tethering options

I think that I should remove one more folder, but which folder responds to tethering settings?

Best regards

Yo, digging your commitment to moto. I'm still on the E4, been waiting for this device to finally be released. I'm probably gonna wait for a little more development on it till I switch though. Do you like it though?
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CodyF86:
Nothing is wrong; recovery will boot fine if you try it. :)
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CodyF86:
I like it; it's nice having a stock Oreo. Hopefully getting LTE to work won't be as much of a pain as the moto E4, although I figure it will be, but know how to fix it. Going to start compiling Lineage soon just getting the vendor repo setup and device trees etc.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Thexmastermind:
Yeah I was super bummed with the whole no LTE thing there for a while.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Thexmastermind:
So you've got root, right?
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CodyF86:
Nope Magisk messes up the boot.img atm, and PHH doesn't actually give root after flashing. I tried to root manually and believe it's getting reverted by DM-verity / verified boot. About to start building lineage to bypass that, but the E5 kernel has no fstab. DM-verity must be disabled in the kernels DTB. (Working on that too)
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Thexmastermind:
How's the bloatware out of the box? And depending on how bills are looking this week I might have one to test with.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CodyF86:
Almost non-existant / it lets you uninstall everything basically even on stock.

Also was able to patch DM-Verity out of the kernel DTB with help of a hex editor lol. Link in the OP here shortly. :)

[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CodyF86:
Corection haha after I blew up /data on my phone. DM-verity is indeed disabled in the kernel now, but the stock rom still encrypts /data regardless, but should be able to root it without /system getting reverted now...time to reinstall everything haha. :) link in OP to DM-verity disabled kernel.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CodyF86:
I have root. Will update OP. Basically flash the no-verity kernel then flash magisk beta onto the no-verity kernel and it boots. :)

Shipping with Oreo, it should be treble compatible too.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CodyF86:
I found the fstab...it's actually in /vendor/etc instead of in the kernel. I'll make a flashable zip, but for now to disable encryption manually just adb pull /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom and change forceencrypt= to encryptable= then push it back to /vendor/etc in recovery...then format data.

edit: Actually it's not quite that simple , have to mount /vendor manually in recovery. I'll write a zip soonish, but

What is your model number for your T-Mobile Moto E5 Play?

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

You must be referring to Moto G6 Play in lieu of Moto E6 Play, as Motorola Mobility currently has plans for a Moto E6 series of devices, but they have not yet begun development or manufacture. On the Moto E5 Play, yes I have firmware for the xtt1921-5 E5 Play (Sprint, Virgin, Boost). https://xdaforums.com/moto-e5/how-to/firmware-restoring-moto-e5-play-to-t3820053 Also, I have firmware for several other Moto E5 variants (RJames, Cruise, Nora). See my firmwares thread here: https://xdaforums.com/moto-e5/how-to/firmware-moto-e5-xt1944-4-dual-sim-t3820901

[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] MotoJunkie01:
OK cool. XT1921-3 is the number I wanted. I'll look in my firmware archives and see if I have anything useful for your model.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rehannasim:
let me explain

i have E5 play . motorola sent me as sample , two phones for testing and later they will send e6 too,

so right now i need complete ROM and twrp for E5 play (XT1920-15).

Later motorola promise to send e6 as sample too.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] MotoJunkie01:
That was extremely kind of Motorola. I've worked for Motorola Mobility for 8 years now and they have never bestowed such a gift upon me. Moreover, our servers at Motorola Mobility indicate that the Moto E6 series is still in blueprint phase, meaning that hardware and development have yet to be decided upon.

On the xt1920-15, I will post firmware as soon as it becomes available. As of now, I'm not able to get access to the firmware through third-party sources, and it is currently not being released by Motorola Mobility.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rehannasim:

not a motorola worker , but creating a cooperate sector solution for a company , which will buy many many phones from motorola.

i am just a developer. create app and now want to add this app as system app. is there any way i can make my app system app , without having the stock rom?
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] MotoJunkie01:
Sure. With root, download the app called System App Manager. The icon looks like a green gear. It will allow you to convert your app to /system/app and /system/priv-app. I think it also has options for converting to /system/framework. Of course, along with root, you will need to have force encryption of the /userdata partition disabled and dm-verity disabled.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rehannasim:
twrp

can i use the twrp available for download in this thread.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] MotoJunkie01:
You can certainly try without any risks. Download the twrp image and rename it to:

twrp.img

Put the file in your adb/fastboot directory on your PC. Boot into fastboot mode, connect your device and PC, and execute this command:

fastboot boot twrp.img

This will boot the recovery on your device without actually flashing your /recovery partition. This is a good way to test a custom recovery without having to flash or modify your device.

Guys it's never appropriate and is in fact strictly forbidden by XDA guidelines to ask for ETAs, updates, etc. Devs like the OP have busy lives outside of XDA and sacrifice their free time and resources to development for the Android community. I'm just saying, please be a bit more considerate and respectful. Thank you.

It is completely understandable, considering that the Moto E5 series of smartphone is relatively new, to anxiously await development for the device. I'm in high hopes that more devs such as the OP take a developmental interest in the Moto E5 and its many variants, and that we start seeing custom ROMs, custom kernels, mods, custom recoveries, and root tutorials for this great device. I'm only asking that we give our devs respect, be thankful for their time and contributions, and refrain from asking for updates, ETAs, etc. One thing is for certain -- devs love to develop. They just don't always have an abundance of free time to do so outside their sometimes hectic personal lives. OK I've ranted enough. Thanks to all members and devs alike who support the Moto E5 series.

[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CodyF86:
Is the cricket bootloader unlockable because I can hexedit that kernel too if it is?

Also I was able to flash the stock firmware on a G6 Play then update by taking an OTA through the stock system and it worked. It got to the end of the update bar and then said error, but it still flashes everything...it checks to see if the bootloader is locked at the end instead of beginning for some weird reason...so the same thing should hold true for the E5, since they're literally the same phone, with slightly different hardware, same chipset.

Restore your data parition and done.
