[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] LayerEight:
Hello everybody,

i was in a local consumer electronic center (Saturn) last weekend. A sony promoter told me, that sony gives a guaranty of four years for Android updates @ XZ3. Could be true, because of the relative pure android on the device, but i want to be sure. I googled around but i wasnt able to find a official announcement about this.

Is this true?

If so, is this for main android updates (android 10, 11, ...) for four years or lets say only two years for main updates and two more years for bugfixes and security updates?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] mufunyo:
Sony gives on average two Android versions worth of updates, which would equate to two years of support.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] iArvee:
What [MENTION=4765817]mufunyo[/MENTION] said is about correct. Basically whatever the phone's OS was at release + 2 more versions is Sony's usual update method. So if you get the XZ3, and following Sony's usual support, the XZ3 should get up to the R version.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] mufunyo:
Honestly though Sony is also pretty good with their Xperia open source initiative and after 2 years you can still experience a rich custom ROM ecosystem for flagships. I once managed to update my ancient Xperia S (LT26i) to Android Marshmallow with a LineageOS ROM. That phone originally shipped with Gingerbread! That's 5 major versions later! (We don't count Honeycomb since it was for tablets only.)
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] LayerEight:
Thats good to read, thanks for this informations. This let me tend to buy a XZ3 a bit more, but....

... at the moment, Sony has no more ANT+-support out of the box (i thin Z5 Premium was the last phone with ANT+), so this is the only reason why i didnt buy one till now. I think snapdragon 845 is ANT+-capable, but i dont have a confirmation about this and i dont have a statement from anybody about the possibility to patch the XZ3 with ANT+-features.

I need and will buy a new phone in the next ~4 weeks, and if there is no answer (or better: solution) for this, i think i have to buy Samsung again. Sad to say...

My device is J7 Prime 2 (G611F). I can only flash TWRP after a week because yesterday I flashed the official rom on my phone. I have to wait 7 days before flashing my phone with "TWPR" or making a root. I can only see the option "Unlock OEM" in the "Developer" mode after 7 days. Do you know a procedure to go beyond the week and root the phone ?. I tried with the procedure to delay the date more than a week but without results.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime / J7 On NXT (Exynos7870)] faheem200:
No sorry

Since a few days I flashed my phone J7 Prime 2 with "Millinium Rom 1.0". I routed it with Magisk. Everything is fine except that the front camera does not work. I installed the official ROM to repair the camera but I have to wait a week before making the root and installing TWRP.

Yes, the fingerprint scanner works perfectly.

I flashed "Millinium Rom 2". The rom works perfectly. The root is OK. The Rom is fast and light. The only problem I noticed is about the selfi camera. The front camera does'nt work.

You can flash any custom Rom intended for J7 Prime. But you have to root the device with Magisk.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] egandt:
Ok so I have Tomtom 6.032 and also GPSTEST installed, GPSTEST is using com4 9600baud and it finds the GPS and also the satellites without issue. Now on to TomTom, It finds the GPS using com4 as well as built in, but it will not locate any satellites I left it out side in the bright sun for an hour (plugged in) and it still said searching for satellites. Now its nice to know where I am using GPSTEST, but what I need is to be able to locate a route using TomTom, yet as I said it will not find the satellites (but does find the GPS unit). Quick GPS is up to date and has 4+ days left in the current download.

So I had TomTom working previously at home (so I assumed it would still work), and then needed it to get to a customers location and found that poof it no longer works. One of the major reasons I wanted a Kaiser over the Verizon phone was the GPS unit.

Any idea why 1 GPS program works and TomTom does not? As I said it does not appear to be any issue with connecting to the GPS unit only locating satellites.

Thanks,

ERIC

I don't think you do. Memory card is formatted for media only on this Xperia. I know some other Android manufacturers let you use the external storage for apps but Sony doesn't do that in this case

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] mroshaw:
Has anyone tried the "Steam Link" app on the M5? I gave it a go last night and had no success whatsoever. The app detected Steam running on my PC and the network test was successful. I launched a fairly low resource game (Alien v Predator Classic) and went back to the Steam Link app. I could vaguely make out an image on the tablet from the game, but the app pretty much froze. Buttons were unresponsive and I had to force close the app. I tried again with different games, but no joy.

Anyone tried "Steam Link" and had any success on our tablet?

It is a bit of a disaster, not sure if it's just Kirin 960 devices in general, but the decoder is what is causing the lag.. HEVC decode or H264 decode, it lags regardless.. same thing on my snapdragon phone and it's smooth as butter 1080p60fps.. the mediapad wont even do 480p 60fps without framdrops.. might be fixed in pie..
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] TENN3R:
It's been 2 years since Google Pixel (XL) was released.

Unfortunately, this means no more major releases for these phones.

I hope the community would still be able to create some porting of next versions of Android, because the OG Pixel still rocks nowadays.

Too bad that a powerful phone like this one will only get security patches for only one year from now.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Flipz77:
I still hope they give us 9.1
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bafforosso:
"No guaranteed Android version updates after" does not mean that there is no chance, if next Android versions don't require to much tinkering to be ported to the Pixel I think they will do it.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
I was thinking the same thing about "guaranteed." I found no compelling reason to move to Pixel 2. I still see nothing in Pixel 3 that makes me want to spend the money especially to guarantee bootloader unlock.

I second that. Pixel is still kicking.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Flipz77:
What's with the Treble thing? Do you think we could get future versions ported easily?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.Lost:
I purchased a Pixel second hand off eBay about 2 months ago, switch from a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active and I can say without a doubt. It out does the Galaxy without a problem. Though I miss the heartbeat monitor. It is sad to see that this powerful phone doesn't have any more Android version updates anymore but the community probably will be updating it more and more. My favorite thing about this phone I have to say is just the usability and ease or finding everything where it makes sense to find.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] dd805bb:
Keyword is "minimum" at the top. Google like Samsung and many other makers are only obligated to provide support for two years. That is all they are saying. Also, with Google having the Pixel /XL on Android P, do you really they will drop support with only a few makers with Pie? Other makers say only two year support. Most phone like this one has gotten two major Android os updates. Since this also is their first in house phone with full Google logo inside and out, I highly doubtful they will just drop support. Why even put out Android P on the pixel? They could stuck at 8.1 and not updated to P. They are keeping their phones out there viable. With most their testing of new OS on their in house phones, and it being HTC, which they now own half of, no way do I see them dropping support. Especially how close all three versions are. A few different drivers per phone, but highly used chipsets across the board. The Sailfish and Marlin still have more development than say Samsung flagships, lg flagships, and any other phones out there. Go look threw XDA. I got tired of waiting for root again on the s8 I sold that pos and got a pixel and pixel 2 xl. These phones are far from done. This pixel rooted on stock kernel still kills my old s8. Quad core vs octo core. Pixel quad smashes it.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] maddvector:
You can always install a Custom Rom like Lineage OS to get the newest Android when Google stops updating the phone...
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] dd805bb:
Oh for sure. Lineageos rocks. Got that on old s5. Oreo on a s5. Unreal. A lot of extra features. Really got that phone for a house phone now and works great.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] allhill:
is possible that they will do the 'same' thing? I mean, they give new update to 'slow down' the old devices, so the current user will feel need to upgrade :)

even they do, we still have custom rom, which always want make our device running more fast, rite?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] z3pp3lin:
Until we stop actually getting updates, I wouldn't worry about it. And we'll probably know before hand when that will be. Plus with Pixel 3 out we're going to get some of the software, whether Google wants us to have it or not. Night Shot with the Pixel 3 camera on my original Pixel.

I picked up a used pixel last month after my Nexus 5x got anhiallated. Well impressed with the pixel this far in as there is no comparison between it and my old 5x.

With regard to updates I'm not worried as the 5x got updated to 8.1 from 8.0 in its last year and all monthly patches came through as promised.

Once the pixel goes legacy I'm sure there will be custom ROMs around to pick up the slack..

[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] 13kai13:
I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo running 'stock' (but rooted) Android Nougat and an S5 running (beautiful) Lineage OS 15.1 (Android Oreo). I was lucky enough to buy a used Pixel with a brand new battery for a sweet price.

The camera is absolutely amazing for night photography, the phone is zippy and the finger print unlock is good. Since the first two items are the most immediate reasons I got the phone I'm very happy.

But, I'm also underwhelmed.

I guess I was expecting 'more' from the Pixel since it has this reputation of 'finally' being an Android phone worthy of representing the best that Android has to offer in a head-to-head with an iPhone of the same caliber.

Aside from the camera I really don't see it. Maybe Android Oreo or Nougat on the Pixel were better than Android Pie? Maybe it's Android Pie that's not impressing me?

Google would have made the perfect device had they put Lineage OS and hardware buttons on the Pixel and fully supported Lineage OS.

Lineage OS on my S5 is the reason I completed the switch away from iPhone. It's the only variant of Android that I've ever found that is as good as (or better) than iOS :(.

The "small" screen and battery life** are the biggest physical disappointments but Android Pie (9) seems to be a lot rough around the edges. My Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo and S5 both had hardware nav buttons so, while they have identical screens to the Pixel, they also had more usable screen real estate.

**My S5 Neo can go a full 24 hours with really heavy use and up to four days with light use. The Pixel gets less than 24 hours with heavy use... Still a full day but I can't forget to charge it

I also find the physical buttons make Android a smoother experience (since they don't always disappear and you don't have to make them re-appear). The soft nav bar with Android Pie is unreliable. And, the swipe up on home button gesture, while better than the 'traditional' three button nav bar, is definitely nowhere near as smooth as when I've tried Apple's implementation on its newer phones :(.

Overall I'm not sure if my disappointment comes from the Pixel itself or from Android Pie since this is also my first exposure to Android Pie.

I absolutely loved Android Oreo when running it on my S5 and was even fairly happy with Samsung's 'stock' Android Nougat on the S5 Neo (I use the truly awesome Lawnchair Lawncher... it's better than the Pixel launcher since you can remove all the Google tie-ins that make the Pixel launcher a less-than-perfect launcher).

Bought mine yesterday OG Pixel 2016 "Brand new".

It came in an original Google box (sealed with transparent plastic): Two USB C cables, wall charger and an USB to USB-C adapter.

The seller said its 100% new, i think it's a refurbished one because of the serial number FA68T (curious thing it had Oreo preinstalled). No signs of any kind of use, it's just like every single new device i have owned

The phone is in general amazing, i am a little bit scared due to the mic issues that i readed that it's prone to face, others simply call it "a ticking bomb".

Camera is just the best, hope it last two years as your case.
