i had a similar problem in the past which went away and now is back again!!!. The first time i simply fiddled with the earphone socket. Now i hear sound ONLY through the wired ear plugs and nothing more. All sounds and notifications via the in-built external speakers have failed and i have tried a hard and soft reset without success. any help would be appreciated!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Win_XP:
Yes, it sounds like a hardware problem, are you trying with a new rom?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] BB55:
Got the phone from Wonda in December. Have now just notice that GPS is not working. Haven't attempted to use GPS before so don't know if this is a new problem or not.

Have downloaded several GPS tools but none have helped. One tool (GPS status) does not even show any satellites.

I have previously removed some apps using adb following guides given in these blogs but have not seen any reports of similar problems. So at this stage I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.

Have carefully checked all settings and can't see anything that would stop the GPS function. But, looking on the web I came across an image of the "location access" settings screen. This shows additional location mode settings which includes GPS but these options do not appear in my phone settings? So maybe that is the issue.

Have included a screen shot of my settings page and a copy of the web page image that I found.

Can someone please confirm if Location mode is or is not included in Location access.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] lxy463187:
what is your phone version number？Is it after the upgrade？
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] BB55:
Its an EVR-AL00 and had all updates installed.

I'm not sure what/when affected the GPS. It may not have been working since I took delivery from Wonda.

Did a factory reset today and GPS is now working fine :good: and now I know that the screen shot that I took of my phone location access settings is the standard for EMUI 9 (GPS is not shown as additional location mode settings).

So it will remain a mystery but would edit the title to show it is 'solved' - if I knew how ;)

Is there metal in your cell phone case?Or there are other magnetic objects around it.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] BB55:
No. Thought of that at the time. Took it out of its case but still didnt work. Not even outside the house. Only a hard reset fixed it. Now it works in the case, in rhe house, everywhere ?

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mcmanuf:
Hello.

Today my phone has been asked to be updated to Android Pie, 47.2.A.4.45, Android Pie.

My biggest concern is the battery life, after such update.

Can I have some qualified input if I should upgrade or not in the current state in regarding to the battery life of Pie vs Oreo.?

Is it possible to downgrade again to Oreo via flashtool, if not satisfied?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Evzzza:

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Hansoliv:
Good day.

I have tested Oreo vs PIE in my phone and have noticed that i had about 15% better battery with PIE.

Tested with Gsam app and using Customized DE 47.2.A.4.45 ROM.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] vofferz:
Someone reported a problem with smart backlight control on Pie. If you have it enabled, try disabling it and see if it helps.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mcmanuf:
Hi.

-How did you test with Gsam? Did you look into SOT, and did you have same usage pattern?

-Also did you do an OTA without factory reset or repair of phone from PC companion?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] profyler:
Im in android world systems since android 2.1

Guys, ALWAYS make a hard reset after a "sweet change" software (7->8->9 etc).

Its always vastly improvement with a HR. Its like formatiing windows. Unfortunetly, android doesnt play well with the old cache, so always make a HR and you will find instantly after it that your batterys drains less then before

Ps; my battery is better with Pie than Oreo, but Oreo software were snappier.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mcmanuf:
I will be very sad, if Pie is less snappy than Oreo.

This, stability and Battery life is the absolute most important factors in a phone today for me.

If Oreo is more snappy I will stay with that. I dont want programmed obsolescence, as the XZ1 compact, is by far one of my favoite phones.

There is nothing more I hate, than a slow phone, when it should be snappy. The XZ1 compact was flying in the beginning of its life. It is still fast, but not like in the beginning.

I will create another thread for snappiness, to see if thats actually an issue many people have.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Hansoliv:
Good day.

I made 3 tests in both of the OS.

1st- Simple 4G and screen on for an hour

2nd- Running a game for an hour

3rd- Screen on and downloanding a file for another hour.

In the end, i had an 15% difference.

For my usage was enough to convince me to upgrade.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] cheapster8:
I have slightly worse battery performance on Pie than on Oreo. Now after a full day I'm sitting with 52% battery left and 3 hours 57 minutes of screen on time. Mostly Wi-Fi. Also the device doesn't feel as snappy and smooth. Animations look a bit jerky sometimes. I haven't done a factory reset (yet) as it takes so much time and these problems do not bother that much...

Oh yeah, also I hate that new volume control. It looks nice but isn't very practical. :D
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] profyler:
Dont get it wrong. the phone is still fast. But on oreo you click on adjust (for ex.) and it oppens instantly. On Pie, it has the smooth transition. Its not bad, its just isnt snappy and ridiculous fast like in Oreo.

i dont think staying in oreo is cool. You'll miss the security updates,. Thats just my opinion though.

If you make a HR you will notice how better your battery will be. I know its annoying but is always recomended after a big update.

But if not, give it a few days and a reboot to let the system settle itself down.

Battery should theoreticly be better on Pie than Oreo, since it has some better AI on this issue...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Fulvio93:
I used the software repair function on the Xperia Companion to update to Pie a few days after it came out in Italy, and in the past 2 months I had very few issues. The worst issue is the Netflix app that from time to time freezes the entire phone when I open it, I have to cancel all the data for it to work again.

Battery life is good (perhaps slightly better than on Oreo), Speed is similar (once again, perhaps slightly better, but it was already snappy enough with Oreo) and I enjoy the -very few- changes. One thing I like is that the volume slider has about 20-25 levels instead of about 10.

Anyway, I received no updates since then. I'm still stuck with the October 2018 security updates.

Short version: I had very few issues and I believe that most issues other people are experiencing happen because they did not hard reset the device before/after updating.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dean F:
I vote for "not worth it" .
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
Pie feels snappier here, also battery life is a little bit better (perhaps because it now controls battery usage of "not often used" apps).

Only thing: It still does not like AVM router or repeater. If connected an wifi is left on it uses like 6-7% battery per hour (standby).

I disable wifi in standby and use another devices wifi for my phone. (~0,5-0,6% usage in standby)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Val81:
I updated to Pie and I'd really like to go back to Oreo (less battery drain)!

Unfortunately I'm not able to unlock bootloader or use another ROM and that really sucks!

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copycat1819:
My mate 8 is still working like a champ, but the top and bottom of the screen are peeled and it's very ugly (see the attached photos).

Currently I use a full body cover like this to cover that up. But the problem with those covers is that the auto-brightness doesn't work very well anymore because of the shade on the ambient light sensor.

Is there any solution for this except for replacing the screen and the stupid GLUE trick which might actually make the phone completely useless if not done right?

I was thinking it would be great if there was some sort of black sticker in shape of top and bottom bars where I could stick them on the screen top and bottom to cover this up (like black stickers with the correct shape of sensors).

Anyone?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muale:
hey, same problem here.

screen peeled off, but everything works.

i want to replace or glue it, how do i do it?

found online 2 versions of display, just the display and one with frame on.if i get just the display i need to somehow glue it to my existing frame - what do i use? liquid glue (like b-7000 or t-8000 types sold online) or double side tape (seen in a clip replacing a samsung display).

if i get the display with frame i have to move all the phone internals to the new display (battery, camera, electronic boards) - more money and labour.

those of you with experience, please help!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] davidecicerone97:
Hi, i have a H870 which was good until i flashed a H870DS rom.. it was all working, also with wrong stock, but after this mistake i decided to return back to correct stock.

Network connection is not working anymore. It doesn't even connect to the network, nothing.

It says only "service unavailable or "no service" (depends by how it should be translated from italian :p )

Today i decided to flash a H870s rom, so dual sim again, and it works! i don't know how, but my h870 has become only dual sim. No way to return back to h870 stock with network working.. Tried everything, flashing 200gb of rom stocks but nothing. Now it works only on dual sim variants' rom.

How can i do? I want it back to single sim, also because i want to flash a different rom which not works with dual sim stock,or better, network will not work.

Tried modifying network mode by *#*#4636*#*# but nothing.. imei is ok.

Thank you.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] MH190102:
Hello all,

recently I got a used Huawei P9 lite VNS-L31 single SIM.

At the beginning it was branded with the Telekom Software (C150). I tried to debrand it with a guide I found on the internet.

Every thing went well but I noticed that the Buildnummber says: VNS-L31C900B161. Because I did it with the downgrade method with Test-keys package i guess.

The Problem is that I was trying to flash a Nougat update with the 3 Button method but during the installing procces I noticed that the package I flashed was the rollback package again.

So the Problem now is that I can't boot to bootloader, recovery and also the 3 Button method to flash a full firmware does not work.

The bootloader is locked (DC Unlocker doesn't recognize the phone so I cant get a code from there)and I guess I have to replace the Motherboard to get the phone working, but before I do that I thought I can ask here if there is any solution I that I can try.

Sorry for my bad English.

Hope that anyone has an Idea:rolleyes:

I think it was something related to licensing. You can pay more or less on the same chip, and have access to more or less features of it. Allegedly, paying for extra features would be a price hit and HTC has said unless the carriers would ask for it and share some of the cost, they weren't going to shoulder it.

The truth is, they botched this from the beginning and it has no easy solution now.

Hello,

How can I tell whether the Moto G5S Plus supports AOA (Android Open Accessory) 2.0? I have an app to connect to the Pioneer car radio, that needs it to be fully functional.

Edit: According to Lenovo support AOA 2.0 is deprecated as of Android 8.0. So that would mean that no Android phone running Android 8.0 or later can be used to connect to a Pioneer car radio. I tried to connect using a Moto X Play, running Android 7.1.1, with the same problem. An iPhone 5S could connect without any problem. :confused:

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Terminator.J:
First attempt at making a guide for this, so please feel free to make suggestions on how to clean it up (I feel like it doesn't lend itself well to step-by-step but you're welcome to try).

Great news everyone! (well, all three of us with T-Mobile/MetroPCS in the USA...)

I got VoWiFi to work last night on a couple custom ROMs and successfully made wifi calls. It doesn't require many pieces, but it can be complicated (not just a step-by-step) to get the required pieces into the right places.

- You need a copy of /system/priv-app/CNEService/CNEService.apk from a stock OOS install (I did it with the one from 9.0.3).

To get that, you might be looking at booting into TWRP with the other slot active or temporarily using something like [MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION]'s fastboot install ROM from https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665 and just flashing the system image to one slot to grab the file before restoring back to the one you had. Anyway, use caution, be sure of which slot you're on and what you're flashing to, and copy the apk from /system/system/priv-app (the path when you're booted from TWRP instead of inside the active system slot). You'll probably have to use ADB commands to push/pull the file directly to/from a computer if you already have a custom rom installed on one slot with screen lock set up, since /data will likely be encrypted and unavailable when you're booted up in TWRP with the other stock slot active.

- You need to be able to install a rando apk as a privileged system app to get this apk back into /system/priv-app/ correctly on your custom ROM.

There are ways to do this manually that involve lots of permissions and editing XML files for privileged app permissions in a couple places, but realistically you're using a custom ROM so you probably have Magisk (otherwise what the hell are you doing with custom ROMs?) so you should just use https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-terminal-app-systemizer-ui-t3585851 and pick option 3 to install it. You'll need Magisk, a terminal emulator, and some ability to type a file path to use this module.

- You'll need to make sure that your /system/build.prop file contains the line "persist.vendor.cne.feature=1" (AEX doesn't at first, XenonHD does, not sure about others).

We've got the requisite stuff in /vendor already, this just enables the ability to use it. You'll need to have root access and a file manager/text editor (Amaze is FOSS and available through F-Droid, MixPlorer through XDA Labs is also nice, or use TWRP and a text editor that knows unix line endings on your computer to copy things back & forth via MTP and remember to set permissions after, I think it's chmod 644).

Reboot, unlock, and try to make a test call. Successfully got it to work on AEX & XenonHD last night, I suspect it works for Omni and others as well.

Try some more ROMs out and report back below if it works for you too!

If it's not working in OOS, I don't know what to tell you. Might just be that the connection isn't reliable enough for it to decide to enable... but I never used OB10; I switched back to stable 9.0.3 after OB9.

Xiaomi is a special kid on the block.

While Android by design wipes all partitions when you confirm unlocking the bootloader Xiaomi does not do that.
