I have read from somewhere that in order to avoid notifications problems you should not install playstore using apks found on the net.

Has anyone figured out a fix to the notifications issue? The only workaround I found is having the app in the background, but after awhile, it stops anyway.

So far, notifications aren't working for:

- Messenger

- Gmail

- Pretty every app that pushes notifications when it isn't running aside from SMS.

And notifications are indeed on for these apps.

Stuck at Activation Screen

Hi everyone, last night I wanted to update my Z5 cause the version I had have no OTA so I flash it to 3.9.200 with QPST the right way I guess and it was saying Succeed but after first boot all I could see is my wallpaper flashing without any icons so I tod maybe its because I didn't do a reset on the phone first and all I had already inside was maybe responsible for that issue so I did it again whit QPST the same way but this time I also check: Erase all before download to wipe the phone before flashing but now when its all done all I get is an Activation screen and cant find any way to pass through.

Here is the Activation screen I get

[IMG="Activation screen"]https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am0Qlvzk8saBhZ0KWbUz7-UoBJsZ2g[/IMG]

And this is the second page I get when i choose Quick setting and I was not able to connect to wifi or even get network with my sim card and couldn't get farther

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sth0r:
hello jay

as i have not had this happen to my self so i have no try and tested way to fix this, but i have idears...

but you should NOT try to lock the bootloader as this whould just minimize you change for succes.

1. if you have a usb to eth adapter and depenting on if it have a usb c connector, you will maybe need a usb c to usb a also called a otg cable.

2. if you have a otg cable and a android phone that can usb tether, then try to plug the otg cable into the z5 and and normal data cable from the otg cable to the old but working phone.

there is maybe a way to solve this problem though twrp but i have not looked enough at it yet to be able to help with that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdnmages:
Hey guys, regarding the notification issues on ZUI 4.0, I looked through 4PDA and found that someone linked to this: Possible solution.

This didn't fix it for me, but it may for you, and even if it doesn't, it still helps a little bit.

So the current workaround is having the app you want notifications in the background, but after awhile, it gets killed due to some aggressive RAM management it seems. However, following the steps in the link I posted prevents the phone from auto-closing the app after awhile.

So yeah, a crappy bandaid fix, especially if you need multiple apps to give notifications, but it helps prevent you from constantly having to load up the app every so often to have it in the background again.

Hello guys. Recently I did the rom exchange process via QFIL. The first ROM I used was the one that is here in the topics like android 9.0. My device is now frozen in the "ANDROID" screen. I tried other roms that also, at 075, 052, 200, 108. But none worked, I installed twrp, which by the way is working perfectly, and every time I clean it, a message like "Failed to mount '/ persist' ( Invalid argument) ". I do not know exactly what I did wrong, but my cell phone does not leave the infinite loop. I would like to ask for your help, I am from Brazil, and it is difficult to write in another language, so any doubt I try to explain again.

One thing I remembered was that the second time, I accidentally clicked on the "PARTITION MANAGER" option in QFIL. I do not know if that was why. But I have refactored the processes and the problem persisted. If someone has the file "persist" to send, I will test to see if it solves the problem.

OK, so I'm stuck on the activation screen like several others on here :(

The phone was working OK, I flashed several times using Qfil. I then decided to try the flash 8.1 from here but I didn't like it and tried to go back via Qfil. Unfortunately now have a brick.

I have flashed every version of the official ROM available but same story i.e. cannot get past the activation screen. I have also tried to tether my phone via OTG to another in the hope of activation but it didn't work.
