How to switch off my phone? I tried a lot of key combo's, but it keeps coming back to a blue/green screen with this warning message.... :(
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] wogooo:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] makeyourself:
I don't think there is one to force it to power off, I think there's only one to force it to reboot which is POWER + VOL DOWN (held down for a few seconds) on the A5, it's probably the same on the A3. Then immediately as the screen turns off you have to switch to the key combination for download mode or recovery. If if you just release the keys it will try and boot normally.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] wogooo:
thx!! im in download mode now
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] wogooo:
Im in Recovery now. When i try to wipe it says it cant mount /data, /cache, etc.

Also Restore doesnt work because of this. I tried to Repair. System seems to be repaired, but /data fails to repair. Also unable to repair cache.

What to do?

(needless to say i first flashed the correct Recovery :) )

In Windows Explorer i see only external sd
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] wogooo:
Somehow i seemed to fix /data en /system. But not cache and dalvik.

I restored a nandroid backup and it boots until LOS animation now. But there its stuck. (but at least i passed Android logo now)

Installation passed pretty good, only in the end it said cache wasnt mounted.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] wogooo:
alright no clue how but its fixed now lol
[Windows 10 Mobile] lykanthrocide:
Occasional lurker, first time poster. I found out about this site by way of the Windows Phone subreddit. They've helped me out quite a bit, but I seem to have encountered a problem that they aren't quite able to solve.

I recently bought a Lumia 640 XL LTE (Model #: RM-1063; running Windows 10 mobile) thinking that it could be used with my MetroPCS service. The phone apparently comes from AT&T, and it may or may not have the appropriate hardware capable of being compatible with MetroPCS's 4G LTE network (according to gishan dot net).

I tried calling MetroPCS to switch from my Lumia 640 LTE to the 640 XL LTE , but they said that it's incompatible with their network. They also gave me a list of compatible phones; none of those on the list were Lumias even though I had called them from a Lumia. Someone on the Windows Phone subreddit told me that "spoofing" the Lumia 640 XL LTE as another phone (a Lumia 950 XL?) using Interop Tools may resolve my issue. I figured I would come and ask about that here, but the XDA forum is enormous! I managed to find this subforum, but I don't even know where to begin to look for information on my specific problem. Conducting a search for resolutions to my problem didn't yield any adequate results either.

I would like to use the phone I bought (the Lumia 640 XL LTE) on MetroPCS's 4G LTE network. Is that possible? If so, how would I go about doing that?

I understand that there are certain sections of the forums for certain problems/projects/questions/etc. If this is the wrong place to ask this kind of thing, I apologize: please direct me to the appropriate forum.

I really love my XZ2 Premium.

Great screen, great battery life, not bloated with ware, expand disk by sd-card, and the camera in black and white is sublime.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Real Life Review] emcom:
It's 2023 and I have just bought another one, demo unit but like brand new one.

I really, really love this phone. It has its' weaknesses, but nothing really serious. Each phone has them. But the display form factor, camera quality (still great!) and overall impression is unbeatable for me. I've already tried different other flagships (from Samsung - I have Galaxy S10+ and from Huawei - Mate 40 Pro) but I decided to go back to XZ2 Premium. Real love ;-)

How are reviewers getting this phone so early?

Also I'd actually be very interested to see how the kernel works compared to the XZ2 and XZPREMIUM.

Little known fact, the XZPREMIUM has a third display mode: 1080p 120Hz. I will be very interested if the XZ2PREMIUM will have a feature like this hidden somewhere too. Unfortunately it was unstable in testing on XZPREMIUM, maybe it could be great platform to work on with the XZ2PREMIUM

Charging issue: lost quick charge ability

A couple days ago i've lost in charging speed. I had to charge it couple times from public usb outlets. I'm not sure it's 100% because of that.

Now it is charging from 41% to 55% for 43min. Doesn't calculate time untill the full charge. I think it should charge faster even from usb 1.5A.

Xperia test is passed. It charges to 100% for 3-5h (during the night).

I will check if it's my original charger/cable issue but i doubt that.

Is it a hardware problem?

Just flash a new splash screen. Check the link in my signature, i have several t choose from. Also P1Tater (which i got most of mine from) also has several others.

Greenish yellows

I feel like it's something to do with dynamic contrast. I've grow to love this phone and it's display but if you ever for example open the emotional section on a white background and you have for example a page in the browser open that's white, watch the yellow emojis and look how they change colour but I do feel like this screen is a bit dull compared to my XZ Premium which I loved.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Real Life Review] the_brad:
Yes, that's something I observed, too. Sometimes you can see it turning into greenish tint. Display calibration got a bit better with Pie and it now has 3 (+ default) presets for screen temperature. "Warm" works best for me for the moment.
