[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] sanjay.2704:
If you are ok with Oreo and not latest security patch, try arrow Oreo with prototype kernel.. this combo has been designed for z2.. awesome battery back up with no hit on performance.. this has spectrum support as well..

Contact are backed up on Google so you will get them back.. WhatsApp chat can be back up on WhatsApp itself. Go to settings and chat and backup..

Media like pics can be backed up on Google photos, songs etc need to be backed up on otg or laptop.. u can use sms backup+ to save sms and call logs as well.. syncs with Google account so no issues at all.. try and you won't regret..

Arrow pie and bootleggers latest pie is also awesome..
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] samartht:
Part of the "smoothness" of OnePlus 3T is Oxygen OS , so maybe you can go out of the way and flash Oxygen OS ports , both Oreo and pie are available but keep in mind that they are no where near perfect.

Some bugs like broken hal1 and hotspot are present but if they don't bother you ,try them.

Great rom with tons of customization. The only problem is battery drain when the screen is off and heat issue it gets super hot
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] legendstarspro:
You can use RZ kernel or Kernel Adiutor to reduce the chipset frequent. This will make device cooler, but slower performance.

Snap 800 is "hot by default", so that we can't make it much cooler, and battery drain quite quickly because of the chipset temperature although screen off (at least 45°C if we don't use and may up to 90°C with heavy tasks).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KhalidGenius:
I flashed LKT Magisk Module and chose battery mode which is now working perfectly for me. However, the problem returns with much bigger impact once i flash any version of OpenGApps. Neither battery saver mode nor LKT module are able to fix it. Is there any other way to fix google services battery drain?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] legendstarspro:
You can install the app "Disable Service", find it on Apkpure, developed by WangQi, root needed.

After that, open that app and choose System > Google Play Service, select all services (except GetToken, GmsBoundBrokerService, GoogleAccountAuthenticatorService, GoogleAccountDataService) then press arrow button, wait it to run and services disabled will change to red color.

4 except services I tell above are enough for using Google Play Store, Youtube, Drive, ...

But you will unable to log in to any other Google accounts, if you want to add more Google accounts, you must enable all services, add accounts and disable services again.

Some GApps need more than 4 services to works (like Google Play Games,...), so that you must enable some services for it.

I feel my device cooler and less battery drain after doing that, you can try it yourself.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KhalidGenius:
Thanks, dev! :D:fingers-crossed: how can i remove the dual speaker mod? mine sounds so bad
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] legendstarspro:
I use device tree from [MENTION=6812097]raschad[/MENTION], I don't know that he had modified the speaker mod.

But you can replace /system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml from other roms to remove the mod.

Or you can use the original mixer_paths here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oWKSVZt8tBWECKoj1vwt9u9otnp4nsiw/view?usp=drivesdk
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] KhalidGenius:
Great. I'm keeping this as my daily driver. I'd like to note that the camera mod (CyberianCamera_Oreo_PIE_1080.60fps) from Raschad's AospExtended thread works perfectly fine but you need to enable microphone, storage, and camera permissions manually before trying to open the camera app. Otherwise, the device might hang or soft reboot a couple of times, mine stuck in a soft reboot loop i had to reflash the rom.

Another thing is that whenever i turn on battery saver mode and the night mode activates, the current app refreshes or relaunches every time i plug or unplug the charger. All Pie roms that i tried behave the same. A small detail but a bit annoying for me and has been keeping me away from the battery saver made.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] legendstarspro:
I have try CyberianCamera on this rom

Camera app need to be granted permissions before using due to Android security from Android 6.0 and above, it prevent some apps to use dangerous permissions.

But I only granted permissions once, the next time I open camera app, I don't have to grant permissions again. Although if I don't grant any permissions, my device neither hang nor reboot. I am not sure why it happens to you.

About the battery saver mode, with my device, some apps are relaunched, some app not. I don't have any other phones to try this, so that I don't know it is because of the Android source code or because of our old device.

5 Star Rom

Amazing Work to you Dev.

I am using this ROM as my daily drive with rz kernel and cyberian Cam and it works perfect,no issues at all.

Thanks a lot once again Sir legendstarpro Rashdd and Devs for your hard work in keeping up Xperia Z1 alive up to 2019 :good: :good: :good:

Hello friends

Great rom with tunes of customization

I am using this ROM as my daily drive with RZ kernel v4.0 and cyberian Cam and it works perfect.

Thank you very much

My phone came alive. :)

The only problem is battery drain when the screen is off. very very fast decharge!

Otherwise, the device might hang or soft reboot

For example, when the phone screen is locked. When you open the phone screen it has a bit of leg.

I think this is due to the kernel.

I flashed the RZ kernel v4.0 kernel and the problem was fixed. :D

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lucbertz:
I tried to do this with Carbon ROM, but some apps doesn't work correctly. Now I keep Google Play Services disabled, and I enable them only when I really need those apps. I also installed Comatose (com.draco.comatose) app without the need of rooting, so now the system go in deep sleep mode sooner. I guess if there is a TWRP ZIP patch to do what Comatose app do; I suppose the answer is here: https://github.com/easz/doze-tweak , but I'm not so smart.

After being trolled, SirTAVARES has left the XDA forum. It's a pity, as I really appreciated him gathering information scattered around and offering it to us in a concise way.

Maybe this is a reminder that we should all treat each other with respect. Many of the contributors here do so in their own time for free and (quite rightly) expect to be treated well.

I'd like to wish him all the luck for the future and he should know he'll be missed.

Cheers

I agree fully. The attitude some members show is ridiculous. They only come here when they got complaints and to download stuff. Years ago this mentality wasnt as strong as it is now. :)

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] b0nebreaker:
The problem is that you always need to be prepared for trolls and haters. If you can't stomach them you should stay away from any kind of online community. But then again, the real world is full of toxic people too. So, best thing to do is to toughen up and not let them get to you.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] picitup:
I don't agree. people should treat others with respect. If someone is giving their time freely to help others, it's the trolls that should be put straight, not the recipient.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] b0nebreaker:
Of course, but there is something called reality. In reality the troll already does damage before he is warned or banned. It is hard or impossible to be proactive against them, you can only react. That's why you have a choice, toughen up or suffer.

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] l8deblu:
Hi all,

I tried to post on this before and see if someone had any ideas on what to do. I have a wing, and a few months ago, the text message counter started showing a phantom message indicator so even though there were no unread messages, on the today screen, it would show 1 unread message. Nothing I could think of made that go away. Now, today it did it again, so there are now 2 unread text messages showing on the today screen but there are not 2 unread messages in the inbox. I've even tried deleting all text messages so that there is nothing in any of the boxes (in, out, saved, deleted) and it still shows 2 unread messages. It's annoying and makes it difficult to get an accurate count when I am just glancing at my phone.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't understand why. I power down the phone screen (using the power button), but then it turns back on randomly as I use my mouse and keyboard on the Dex monitor.

I can see that some actions that some actions I do on my keyboard affect the phone, I keep seeing the blur that happens when you pull down the notifications, and I even had an emoji keyboard pop up on my phone screen once.

Does anybody konw how to have my phone screen stay off when I'm using Dex? I don't need that when I have a full monitor and a mouse and a keyboard...

[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Questions & Answers] gaban05:
I installed GSI Roms like Pixel Experience, RR both ROMs have issue when using bluetooth call.

Tried with Skype or Whatsapp call, sound will go to phone speaker.

Bluetooth audio (non call) is fine though.

I tried to do bluetooth call from my pc using the same headset and it works normally.

Anybody having the same issue ?

Need help please
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Questions & Answers] Fazz1977:
It's a massive issue with Android 9, not the Nokia 6.1 plus in particular. I'm returning my 6.1 plus tomorrow due to this problem. It cost me more than the phone to have my car's Bluetooth firmware brought up to be fully 5.0 compliant, but it made no difference.

Google completely **** the bed with Bluetooth on this release, and from what I can see online there's no fix in sight. Android die hard users are jumping ship to Apple all over the place due to this problem.

Short answer, if you want working Bluetooth calls on this device, flash an 8.1 Oreo build, then it will work.
[Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) Questions & Answers] gaban05:

Punch your symptoms into google "android 9 bluetooth call problems" or "android 9 bluetooth car problems" and you'll get hundreds of forum listings with thousands of examples of the same or similar behaviour, usually but not always associated with a stock android device such as any android one handset, or the pixel etc... Some 3rd party builds are also affected, OnePlus and Samsung users are reporting problems.
[Android General] delessio100:
After owning this phone for about a year now and using PDANet for tethering, I have discovered a way of enabling & using tethering / mobile hotspot.

1. Download and Install 'Activity Manager'

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrefrsousa.tools.activitymanager

2. Open the app, select the 'Activity List' tab on the bottom right, and scroll down to the Settings app.

3. Scroll down the list of activities until you see 'Mobile Hotspot' (there is more than one, be sure you select the first one in the list, the activity is com.android.settings.Settings$WifiApSettingsActivity)

4. Long Press on that and select "Create Shortcut"

5. Go to your launcher and open the newly created shortcut

6. :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:

I've seen a couple threads where people have been looking for a method of doing this and I was one of those people so hopefully this helps you guys out! Enjoy ! :good:

I can connect my laptop to the network. Great! But not another android device. Any tips? I don't know that that app to enable Tethering did anything
[Android General] delessio100:
Hey! I haven't been on XDA in a little bit sorry about not answering. I did have the straight talk variant and it worked for me. If it's not working to connect other phones (like another android device), PDANet worked like a charm for me on this phone. Let me know if that helps!
[Android General] juntjoo:
Thanks, but no, it's still not working for me. I'm just following the instructions either with the hotspot or the the foxfi options and they connect but the other phone always says "internet may not be.." stable or something like that, and there is no internet. Works 'like a charm' though on my laptop. Someone else somewhere else said something about a proxy but didn't elaborate so maybe that's the trick. Do you have any ideas? Thanks
[Android General] delessio100:
What version of PDANet are you using? And what phone are you trying to connect? I'm not entirely sure what could be causing the issue, I have the same phone and same carrier and PDANet worked for me. I tethered my galaxy S6 to the Skypro with no issues, it's possible it may be the phone you are trying to tether since it's working on your laptop. You are seeing a message that says "internet may not be available..." correct?
[Android General] juntjoo:
Correct. It's actually another j7 for boost, same year, just a little different internals. Standard Android, stock. PdaNet installed on it. Unfortunately I don't have another android device to test with

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

Oh, version 5.22.1

Thanks
[Android General] delessio100:
What version of PDANet are you using?

Edit: just saw you post the version lol my bad, I'll get back to you in a second. I'll grab my skypro and see if we have different versions. I suspect it's either the target phone or perhaps an outdated version of PDANet
[Android General] delessio100:
Alrighty, give these suggestions a try and let me know.

1. Uninstall PDANet and download + install version 5.21.4 on both devices

2. Make sure "hide tether usage" is off on both devices

3. Open the menu (the three ... in top right), and set wifi timeout to "never"

4. Enable the hotspot, then on the phone you want to connect, tap "connect to a pdanet hotspot" then click "select phone"

5. Manually input the password and attempt to connect

If you're able to connect and get wifi then you should be able to use the WPS option to automatically connect next time. I have version 5.21.4 installed on my skypro and just tested, this is working fine for me.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Stolz:
I own the 8" LTE model (SHT-AL09) with stock ROM, unrooted and with locked bootloader. It originally had the EMUI 8 firmware SHT-AL09C636B196 (Oreo 8.0.0.196) but a few days ago I got an OTA and decided to upgrade it to the official EMUI 9 firmware SHT-AL09C636E2R1P2161 (Pie 9.0.1.161) and now 5Ghz WiFi networks don't work anymore.

Before the update, WiFi scan showed dozens of 5Ghz WiFi SSIDs in my area, including my own one, and I could connect to them without issues. Other apps such Wifi Analyzer also showed dozens of 5Ghz WiFi networks.

After the update, I can only see one distant 5Ghz network but not my own one. When I try to manually add my own 5Ghz SSID I got the error message "Unable to find MySSID".

It seems it is a hardware/system issue because Wifi Analyzer has also stopped showing all 5Ghz WiFi networks but one. I've used the mobile Hotspot feature of my other Android devices to rule out my router being the problem, but the issue persist. Needless to say other devices in my household (Android, WebOs, Laptop, ...) have no issues showing or connecting to my 5Ghz WiFi networks.

I can see many people having the same issue months ago when they updated their Honor phones, but so far nothing affecting the Mediapad.

Am I the only one with this issue? Any suggestion regarding what could I try to fix it?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] AndDiSa:
Did you already try to change the channel on your router? Probably the channel you configured is no longer supported. This at least would explain why you can see other networks on 5GHz.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Stolz:
Thanks for the suggestion. I was using automatic channel. I've changed it to manual and tried several channels, but the result is still the same.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Stolz:
I read in Reddit some people manage to "fix" it by using a different channel in the router, as [MENTION=2188693]AndDiSa[/MENTION] suggested. Try setting the Wifi channel to manual an test different ranges of channel. Try first with the lower ones (36, 38, ...,46,48 ). If it doesn't work try with the highest range (149, ..., 155 ). If it still doesn't work, you can configure your router to use another region/country with differnt channels range until you find one that works.
