[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikerdanger:
I have a webview app that loads fine. But I want to make it behave like a real app. These are the faults I am facing:

* It only shows a loading icon only when you launch the app. Any other link you click while the site had finished loading for the first time does not show any loading icon. I want to fix that so that it shows the round circle stuff so users know that what they clicked on is responding.

* The website I am using displays slideup ads, so when these slide up ads come up and the user clicks on it, it just disappears like they didn't click on anything. I want it to ask them to choose a browser or open the ad inside the app. OR. Do you suggest it remove it and try Google Ads? I don't have Adsense account..so, put that into consideration while advising...

* I also discovered that when users log out and open the app again, they are asked to put in their login details again. Like they never used the app, if cookies are the solution to this, how can I put them? How can I make the app use cookies to save users login data?

*When users try to upload a profile picture it does nothing, I don't know if it is a PERMISSION problem because I only asked for INTERNET permission in the Manifest file.

* I want some options that work (about the app, exit(Yes/ No), log out)when they press and hold the back button.

Thanks, guys.

Can a Galaxy S7 Build: G930PVPU6BRD2 be unlocked? It is paid for and Sprint says they have done all they could on their side and it is listed as unlocked. It isn't unlocked and it's not blacklisted. So where do I go to pay someone to get this unlocked? Thanks in advance to any feedback/help.

You have obviously done the obvious - click on the keyboard at the bottom of the screen until the ARROW comes up beside it and clicked on the arrow and then selected TRANSCRIBER...

Obviously you have done that. What happened when you did that?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bigone5500:
Obviously you are right...LOL

When I click on transcriber as you have mentioned, the transcriber bar shows up with the arrows backspace settings and all. But when I try and write on the screen, the transcriber bar goes away and it then acts as if I am trying to select lines of text. I have looked around on my phone but I can't find anything to reset it.

Any ideas guys besides a hard reset???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] whk:
The notes field will work with transcriber. So don't do a hard reset. You have to click on the EDIT button on the lower left and THEN it will work.

Hi, I have tried just about everything from flashing .imgs and .zips of OOS with adb/fastboot to MSMDownloadTool (yes I have the drivers and everything correct). I just get a Waiting for device message when hitting start.

I was stupid enough to go into recovery mode and wiping all of the data not realizing that included OS and stuff. I just wanted a soft reset of user data and settings. Got stuck in a bootloop where I see the OnePlus logo, then the warning unlocked bootloader screen and then straight to fastboot. Can't reach recovery anymore either.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Latiken:
Is it possible to enable the notification LED to pulse on this device? I know it's possible with Android Nougat because it was working on my OnePlus 2 on RR. Oreo RR has the option on this device but it doesn't work properly, and any solution I've found for customizing the LED doesn't have an option to enable this functionality.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You'll need a 3rd party app like Light Flow or Light Manage from the play store. Personally, I use Light Manager. Works like a charm :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Latiken:
Thanks for the tip. I was actually trying to find something that would enable the LED to be turned on while the screen is on, but it looks like Light Manager confirmed my suspicion. It looks like either Oreo disabled this, or Pixel's LED just doesn't work this way.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] palimatix:
Am using the DU ROM, and it has the option of LED in screen on / DND and it all works for me. I use this as my daily driver as am content with the insane amount of LED customization I get.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Latiken:
Ohh, excellent! How's battery life, the camera (I'm sure it's same as stock with Google camera right?) customization, stability? I'm perfectly happy on stock besides the LED, so I'm trying to figure out if it's worth going through the hassle of flashing another ROM. Thanks:)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] palimatix:
Battery life is definitely better than stock, comparable to Nitrogen. My stock was giving slight less screen-on time and much less idle time. Not giving you any numbers as usages vary person to person. ;)

Stability is good too.

Camera is all stock as usual.

There are a lot of DU tweaks, same as aquarios and other other ROMs. Maybe lil more or less, but am not that much into it. You can check out more in their website or the unofficial thread here in XDA.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Latiken:
Battery life being better than stock really surprises me, considering I regularly get 6-8 SOT with excellent standby.

Sounds pretty good, I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Latiken:
It's not necessarily something I absolutely need, I'd just like to have it back. I got used to having it on my OnePlus 2, and it was useful to be able to tell that I had a pending notification, like a message or a missed call during media consumption like Netflix or YouTube. It also allowed me to get rid of Heads Up notifications and disable vibrations.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haldi4803:
Howdy,

You might remember me from the Xperia Z2 or the Xperia Z. I've started playing around with Android on my old Sony Xperia X10i and i've always liked fiddling around with too much data and thoroughly testing what i own in order to fully understand it.

Lately i've been active in the HTC 10 Subforums but since the Battery started going bad i've become afraid of the phone dying on me and i got this really good deal on the XZ2. So here i am back at Sonys.

So... this thread is mainly for me to keep my findings sorted but you might also find some interesting things here.

If you take a look at my older threads you'll know what to expect :cowboy:

What's new with the Xperia XZ2?

Well.... Android 8.0 with SD845 and 4.9 Kernel... no more Interactive governor. We got EAS built in an use SchedUtil. While it is possible to modify the behaviour of SchedUtil via SchedTune it's nowhere nearly as complex as Interactive or different governors.

Trepn Profiler doesn't report Battery Power anymore... while Trepn Profiler has been partially broken since Android 6.0 it did work kinda fine on the SD820 devices even with Android 8.1 and custom Kernels. (except Load%) Even though it was limited one poll per 30sec. While on the XZ2 only estimated Power is available. Which does not work due to missing CPU load.

Benchmarking:

Powerdrain: Find out how much the Phone is using under specific circumstances.

Charging: How fast does the Device charge from 1% to 100%

Throttling: Analyzing Thermal and Powerlimit Throttling

Benchmarking Apps:

Repetitouch: To create custom Benchmarks that simulate normal everyday usage.

BatteryLog: For Charging Benchmark, Voltage and Battery% per Minute

GameBench: For FPS in games. (Make sure you deactivate Screenshot function for HTC10)

Benchmarking Hardware:

YZX Powermonitor: USB 3.0 QC3.0 4-13V 0-3A USB A Male-> USB A Female Powermonitor that measures Voltage and Current passing trough.

I'll update this Post when new infos are available...

Charging Sony Xperia XZ Stock ROM with Stock Charger

Qnovo in Action!

First thing we see is the max Voltage.... this phone is fully charged at 4,331V Okay? Guess that's the new kind of Battery. I'm used to see 4,4V

After 40 Minutes when the battery reached 40°C and 60% there is Thermal Throttling. If you take a look at the HTC10 Charging you can see the CCCV breaking point this does not happen here, it's simply reduced from 11W to 8W which does indicate throttling. It's only after 117 Minutes when the Battery reaches 4,33V that you can see the expected curve...

This has to do with the new Qnovo Charging Technology. Nice read on Qnovo Charging Technology...

In the far future when my phone found out when i charge it over night i'm also gonna measure the Battery Care in action :cowboy: i wonder how slow it charges if it has the time.

Oh, and i'll have to Try with Another QC3.0 Charger. While the UCH12 is QC3.0 and PD2.0 compatible even the Old Sony Chargers said 1.5A but only charged the phone with 1A....

Welcome back! ^^
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haldi4803:
Thermal Throttling & Task Migration / Load Balancing

When i first used this phone i tought i'd have Endless power in my hands, so i couldn't resist using it ALL. Started CPU Load Generator app and saw that even with 8 Threads fully loaded the phone does not throttle down CPU....

Sound awesome huh? Even the Temperature wasn't getting that hot. Coooool... (pun intended)

But i was a tiny wee bit Skeptical. Could it really be? So i've decided to use my USB Powermeter and charge my phone to 100%. After a while the phone kept using the same current. 0.255W to be accurate. (With Screen Off and WiFi connected)

using a Full Load i could see all CPU cores staying at the max Frequency.

But.... the wallcharger did say something different!

Not even a Full Minute! While it does peak at 8W it falls down to a sustaineable 4W rapidly. (Even drops to 3.5W Later on...)

So What's going on here?

Using Snapdragon Profiler with ADB over WiFi i've tried different Load Scenarios, 1-9 threads and 16 threads.

1 Thread:

You can see the Thread jumping between core 5, 6 and 7

2 Threads:

With 2 Threads core 4 is also used this time

3 Threads:

with 3 Threads Core 7 is not being used anymore... throttling? The phone is trying to reach a sustaineable temperature of 60°C by limiting Big cores to 2.4ghz

4 Threads:

While core 7 stays offline we see the small cores being used, and a throttling to 2.4ghz on big cores.

5 Threads:

While it did cool down enough to go back to the big cores previously, now it stays on small cores. Also 2.17ghz on big cores.

6 Threads:

7 Threads:

Dropping to 1.84ghz on big cores

8 Threads:

Aaaannndd... here is the magic! 2.8ghz on big cores! Somehow the phone switched to another throttling method than frequency.

9 Threads:

While we did see some slight CPU frequency drops with 8 threads, they're all gone with 9.

16 Threads:

Exactly the same as with 9 threads.

Sadly Snapdragon Profiler does not show BatteryPower on the XZ2 :( So it seems plugging to the WallCharger is the only way to figure this out.

I'll have to redo tests when my phone is fully charged and see if i can get a consistent powerdrain.

Edit: Update: Android P Beta.... Dev Preview 2

Starting with 4 Threads...

Core 7 does NOT get turned off anymore.... But you do see a small task migration as soon as 68°C are hit. Small cores get more load.

Looking at the Performance you see a gradual degradation, and not big spikes like before.

With 7 Threads:

We can see Thermal Limit has been increased to 72°C

The Performance drops really fast to 85%-90% but manages to stay there for a long long time. i'm really impressed.

Edit:

Absolutly nothing new with Android 10 (Again 8 Threads)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ali nz:
These graphs are such a pain:eek:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haldi4803:
I have no clue where the Thermal Limit is on the P Beta.... but it seems to be quite high!

(click on Image to get redirected to interactive Chart from Google Sheets)

(The Drops are when i stopped testing and changed from 8 to 7 to 6 threads)

panel0-backlight	thermal-devfreq-0	thermal-cpufreq-0	thermal-cpufreq-1	thermal-cpufreq-2	thermal-cpufreq-3	thermal-cpufreq-4	thermal-cpufreq-5	thermal-cpufreq-6	thermal-cpufreq-7

0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

There is NO throttling due to Task Migration, thats what Snapdragon profiler said, and the value in sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_state proofs this. As you can see in the example above, they stayed at 0 during the whole test.

Which is nice to know, since now we're certain Performance throttling does not happen due to a value in thermal/cooling_device* :)

Edit:

Oh.... not sure if this is a P feature or happens on Oreo too... gotta test...

But when you reach 5% Battery big cores shovel all Tasks to small cores, therefore frequency drops to 800mhz and performance takes a HUGE hit.

This time we see all 4 big cores reach a value of 24 on sys/class/thermal/cooling_device* for thermal-cpufreq-4, 5, 6 and 7.

Edit 2: Thermal Throttling on Android P (dev preview 2)

Yeah... i need way more patience.... Did another test, this time while charging, so we have power Measurement!

We already knew Thermal limit was WAY higher on P.....

(interactive Chart...)

Because this was using External Power from Wallcharger the battery did not heat up as fast because it was not used. Took 10 minutes for the battery to reach 43°C while the starting point was about 32°C

What we did not know... the PowerLimit is different too!

on Oreo it peaks at 8W and then rapidly drops to 6W and even lower to 4W when the Limit kicks in.

Thanks to the bigger Thermal Headroom we have in P it only peaks to 6.5W and drops to 5.8W in 1 minute but after that it continuously falls from 5.8W to 5W in 10 Minutes! Seems like it manages to stay at 5W. Oreo couldn't handle that.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haldi4803:
You Remember Qnovo Charging on the XZ2 ?

Well... it's not present in Android P Dev Preview 2.

We still have the typical CCCV point

But instead QuickCharge 3.0 is doing a good job in scaling Voltage.

Charging is fast, 105 minutes to 130 Minutes... but with Qnovo you have 93% at 105 Minutes, who cares about 7% If you have way better battery live.

Sadly Bluetooth Broke down after 70 Minutes.... oh well you can probably imagine what happens from minutes 70 to 130 right? ^^
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] davidletterboyz:
Coming from OnePlus, I'm not impressed at all. My 5T could do 0-93% in only 60 mins. Almost twice as fast... Old OnePlus phones didn't seem to suffer from battery degradation after more than a year either.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hotcakes_shinku:
Firstly Sony is limiting itself to QC 3.0. Secondly seeing as higher end phones all pack high quality batteries, they all suffer little degradation in the first place. Sony's method might make them last even longer. Come back in 2 to 3 years time and compare the battery health before saying you are not impressed. Not everyone is rich like you people to change phones every year or less. There are people who think about really long term usage and this should benefit them considering how batteries are non user replaceable nowadays.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] davidletterboyz:
I said that because my friend is still using his OP3 and it's been two years. His SOT is still largely similar and he use Dash charge all the time.

And no I am not rich. Rich people buy iPhone.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Geoffxx:
one thing worth noting when it comes to battery life

What killed my battery on my Z1 (I replaced it twice) was doing nandroid backups with TWRP, I believe part of the problem is that all the OS battery control and protection is not running when you boot into recovery and it causes extreme overheating, it is definitely something to be aware of and IMO destroys batteries
