How to enroll into Android 9 pie beta programme for global version?

I want to try android 9 pie. If anyone knows please reply?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] harveen.oberoy:
Has anyone tried beta on nex s global or indian release ?

Is the stability of rom worth for the risk?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] varun jashnani:
It's nothing different from 8 so don't take the risk of going into beta, it will be all same if it is funtouch 4.5 whatever android version it be, main improvements are in funtouch os9. Thats the main thing.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] overcustom:
Is it available?

Got new up update on my Nex (Indian Version)

1.10.1.

Can't see anything new.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] chudybws:
Indian and Global are two different models? For me, Global does not show that 1.9.2 is the latest version.

I sorry for my English, I use Google Translate.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] RESHAB68:
I am from India but i am not getting any update

And btw where is they Android pie update ?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] ansumang:
Today I received the same!

But I don't understand this, why vivo is optimizing "Pinyin input method" in the Indian version!

Seriously, out of 8GB Ram, more than 1 GB Ram is being used unnecessarily in the background all the time by vivo's bloatwares which I'm sure 999/1000 of them don't use!

The touchpal keyboard alone with ~50-60 language packs have taken around 1GB of space! These options/apps should be optional and could be availed at Vivo's app Store for those who want, why they have a separate app Store if they don't utilise it properly!! ?

And about Pie update, now this minor update means, Pie is one more month away!!

Update: One thing is revamped, "Easy Touch"

This Easy Touch in this update is same as in the FuntouchOS 9! So this one they added before Pie update! Let's hope they bring in more features in the upcoming Pie update!
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Valeriuz:
I think they'll release Android Pie for the global model directly with the new funtouch, so unfortunately we are going to wait a bit....
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
I really really doubt will give Fantouch 9 with Pie upgrade for global version.

I don't give more than 1%
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] overcustom:
They said they will
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Valeriuz:
Why not? It's not so difficult release the global version, they don't have to work so much, just remove many Chinese apps, put play store, and add languages.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Source???

Android Pie for Nex S has been developed and design with Fantouch 4.5 many months ego.

That version gave it to Chinese version that version global version will get and Fantouch 9 in later update with unknown time being.

Could be 2 months could be 1 year.

Nobody knows.

Vivo until know show long long track record delays with major upgrade.

My personal prediction is first release successors of Nex S earlier summer with Fantouch 9 and then maybe Vivo think give it to Nex S.

We think theoretically as a fact but that not always the case in real life.

You and me just can just hypothetically can talk.

We are not software engineers IMO.

There maybe be dozens parameters we don't have knowledge and has to do with software updates.

As you saw I took them 4 months of beta testing program until release official stable Pie to Chinese version.

And why not released beta testing to global version so far??

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] chrisg4493:
So, I recently installed Lineage OS on my n7 and noticed auto rotate wasn't working. Then flashed it back to stock thinking the lineage rom was bugged, still no auto rotate, it used to work last time I used the tablet around 3-4 months ago, so im wondering did the gyroscope get fried or something?

Anyway which board contains the gyroscope, the motherboard or daughterboard, anyone know? Recently replaced the daughterboard so im thinking that may control the gyroscope? I want to replace whichever board contains the gyroscope as it doesn't even show it moving in check my android app, don't really want to waste money on the wrong board if possible, so if anyone knows for certain it'd be a huge help!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
The gyro is on the daughterboard but it never fails. Connection of the wide silver cable between the boards is the problem - see my earlier post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66952073&postcount=3
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] chrisg4493:
But then wouldn't the gyroscope show as moving in apps that can test it? It shows up as stuck, and on the twitch app it acts as if i am shaking the tablet cause it just keeps going from dark mode to light mode because twitch app has a feature that allows you to shake to enable dark mode/light mode.

Anyway I have tried re-seating the ribbon cable about 20 times now and still nothing shows up on gyroscope, even tried 2 different cables
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
The gyro and compass sensors share the same I2C data line connecting the two N7 PCBs. Please check with a sensor test app if the compass works - if yes, then the gyro has failed indeed.

Some apps will show you the sensors names - N7 has:

gyro Invensense MPU-6500

compass AKM AK8963

:good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] chrisg4493:
Hmm, the compass seems frozen as well I don't understand though the ribbon cable seems to be fine no matter how many times I disconnect / reconnect it nothing seems to change... Very odd
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] firepower9966:
I have same issue, I use rotate app to manually rotate and also automatically rotate some apps. Eg auto rotate YouTube and media player to landscape.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Tmzdroid:
With the silver ribbon cable connected at one end try and get it tightly moulded around the battery hold it there and connect the other end. I found this out recently after a battery swap it helps to push the connecters in a bit more those few microns matter. I was having screen rotation problems after a recent battery swap after doing this everything's perfect again.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kasparlov:
Hi,

I'm quite new to the world of custom roms and I would appreciate some help to get my z3 tablet working again. I wanted to install this ROM as my Z3 was still running on Lollipop with no update in sight.

I managed to unlock the bootloader following the instructions from Sony's homepage and I was able to flash TWRP using the version provided in the thread linked above. Unfortunately now I can neither boot into recovery nor do anything else with the tablet except start the fastboot mode (solid blue light after holding power up and connecting the power cable).

Is there any whay to start TWRP? Did I use the wrong image? I'm on Windows 7 64-bit. Thank you for your help!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Lightheaded:
I used this solution to get out of the very same situation on my SGP611.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] luk71:
If your tablet is soft bricked, stuck at boot, restart display SONY and keep restarting you can do the bellow steps, but after that you will need to root and install TWRP again.

To turn off your tablet which is keep restarting, press and hold POWER and VOLUME UP until the tablet vibrates 3 times and turns off.

On your PC open Sony Xperia Companion, click Software repair, check My device cannot be detected or started, Next, chose Xperia phone or tablet, Next, check I know my Google credentials, wait until instruction are displayed how to connect to your PC.

Make sure your tablet is turned off, press and VOLUME DOWN while connecting the USB cable to PC, when the program starts the next step you can release the VOLUME DOWN.

Now wait and do not disconnect the tablet from PC.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kasparlov:
Hi, I used Lightheadeds link and I managed to install the stock rom that way. I also tried luk71s solution but Xperia Companion did not work because my tablet has an unlocked bootloader.

Many thanks, I now have a working tablet again!!!

Hello everyone. I have the same problem. I just changed from my Z2 tablet to a Z3 Tablet compact. Unlocked boot loader but I can not install twrp using ADB or Flash to update to oreo.

I don't even have the oem unlock under developper status.

I will be gratefull for any help

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] M1chiel:
Since you already unlocked your bootloader it makes sense that you do not have an OEM unlock option. In developer settings you must enable USB debugging and reboot in bootloader mode to flash twrp. What happens if you send the command 'fastboot devices'?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dsman:
Thanks for replying my Sos.I did not have the unlock oem optoon before unlocking the bootloader. When I write adb devices the computer sees it in normal mode but does see the tablet in fastboot mode.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] M1chiel:
I checked my tablet and it has no OEM unlock option either, so maybe it is simply not implemented. This means you should be able to unlock.

To see your tablet in fastboot mode you must install the correct drivers on your PC. For me the easiest way was to install Flashtool from www.flashtool.net. It has an option to install drivers and it is also useful if you want to go back to stock. You may also want to backup your TA partition if you consider returning back to a pristine state.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dsman:
Suite

I have wiped off everything from the Tablet it's mega clean but i really want to remove all bloatware and instal a better rom. have already installed fashtool but once I am in fastboot mode ( Blue light) there is no communication with computer.

I have installed the correct driver

Checked in the devices settings it there is no Triangle

Checked the s1 driver , the Z3 tablet compact driver No triangle.

Sony companion regognises the Tablet

But when in Fatsboot mode, there is no communication. :(

Heeeeeeelp and thanks to all the developpers and other testers
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] M1chiel:
You may have to disable driver signature verification: https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

Also close Sony Companion and Flashtool if you run the fastboot commands.

Z3 tablet Root 2018

So I finally managed to root my lovely and Tiny Tablet. Info those interested.

Step by Step. My machine Windows 10 Pro 1803 : Did not work with this computer and changed on a second one Same windows Pro 1803

that does not mean it will not work on yours)

Phone is Z3 Tablet Compact with Marshmallow.

A On Computer

1 Installed Flashtool 64

2 Installed ADB FlashTool 5contains drivers also)

3 Installed Phones Driver (it may be included with Flash tool)

4 Installed Sony Flashtool

5 Unlocked Bootloader with Flashtool or Go to Sony's Site to obtain Unlockboot loader Code. Sorry Too long to explain ( I used Flashtool)

6 Downloaded SGP621_23.0.1.A.0.167_CE.ftf or other Firmware that fits you xperia device with Sony Flashtool :: ATTENTION This downgraded my phone to Android 5 Lollipop.

ON Phone

If you are here, you already know that you have to unlock your Developper mode, Allow Debbuging mode, Allow mock locations, Go to de security option and allow Unkown sources.

1 Installed Kingroot 4.50 (Install it even if Google says it may be dangerous)

2 Ran Kingroot 4.50 IT IS NOT the latest but it worked for me on Android Lollipop. (I had tried the lastests versions of Kingroot, Kingoroot, and other it did not work on Marshmallow and it did not work for me)

It did not work the first time. SO i tried a second time as proposed and it then worked.

2 bis I rebooted verified with a root checker afterwards: Rooted Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

3 Then downloaded Root checker, Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, Official TWRP,SuperSU,Busy Box

4 Once rooted, I removed purify that came with Kingroot and other bloatwares and Installed the above apps. You don't have to do it but that is what I did.

As from here, you choose what you want to do. You are FREE to debloat and install what you want.

I will like to thank all the developpers on this site and thoses who a have showed my ways to find a solution. It is not always clear. But atleast they have tried.

So I am transmitting my experience for others.

Second stage finding the best Nougat or Oreo setup for me in a week or two.

Have a nice day

I am pleased to report that all of the themes compatible with TWRP 3.2.1.0 are also compatible with TWRP 3.3+. Instead of flashing the zip [just as a precautionary measure], I took the liberty of downloading the theme of my choice and renamed it to "ui.zip".

Transferred it to my device, opened TWRP folder and created a folder called "theme", without capital letters.

Copied ui.zip to theme folder.

Restarted to recovery which automagically discovered and implemented the theme.

It wouldn't of hurt of Google to give the Nexus 6P Android P Beta or even the release of it.

I'm glad this website exists because people and developers know that these phones have a longer life to them.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsBasti:
Hi there,

I'm experiencing a weird problem with my Galaxy S5 (SM-G901F, kccat6).

The device is boot looping in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen.

When I turn it on it is about 7 seconds in this screen, turns off, vibrates and turns back on again and continues to loops in this state.

I've already tried flashing the stock rom (odin says pass, went to stock recovery and did a "factory reset"), installed TWRP and reformatted the partitions and tried to install LineageOS (device reboots in the flashing process). I'm not able to flash LineageOS, TWRP gives me sometimes the error "Failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)", I've tried mounting the partition with the "mount" option in TWRP and that seems to work but I get the same problem again.

I've copied the TWRP log file from /tmp/recovery.log: https://pastebin.com/7FX6TtEe

From what I can see the issue seems to be that /system is "Mount_Read_Only", althought I didn't say "keep system read-only" on the first start of TWRP. I've already tried reflashing TWRP a few times.

I'd grateful for any help

When I enter the stock recovery and perform a "factory reset" and try to boot up the device it's back to the previous stage where it loops in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen.
