[MTCD Hardware Development] Cutprods:
It's not been mentioned that these units overheating may be down to badly engineered double din placements in some cars, rather than the unit itself. My very standard GS 4/32 Xtrons branded PX5 with standard DVD unit, has not overheated in 5 years, or at least I should say performance has never varied and that is in some prolonged 40 degrees plus trips in Spain. I have always had the climate control on in all weathers, since it keeps that system lubricated and for me has little impact on fuel economy. My car is an Audi A4 B7 and the middle facia vents blow directly out above the radio unit. The original OEM double din unit with integral 6 CD stacker had no fan either and was a lot more dense than the PX5. If the double din placement and venting is poor on a particular car, a fan will still have a hard time extracting hot air to hot air - it would be like taking a good PC, with good fans and fitting it into a tight covered hole, with no proper extraction outlet. But good work anyway.
[MTCD Hardware Development] country_hick:
This is why making a hood to cover the top of the unit or that hooks into the back or bottom depending on clearances combined with a snorkel that goes below the dash to bring cool air in and take hot air out could make a big difference. Hot air in gets you hot air. Cool air in will cool things down. My 2nd gen dodge (which already requires modification to accept a 2 din instead of the factory 1.5 din) would be easy to add a hood to the head unit, my grand marquis would be difficult if not impossible to add more than an open top.

Nice observation!

Hello. I also made aluminum heatsink and fan cooling for the px5 multimedia device. I used slim block and fan because the case was narrow.Hal9k 5.2 android 10 rom I use .30 minutes before the process was 85 degrees with the use of Google maps and Spotify.After the process it was 45 degrees with the same time and programs.
[MTCD Hardware Development] country_hick:
A drop of 40 degrees is great! I believe temperatures could be further improved with better airflow by drilling more holes in the top cover. It looks like the fan covers at least 1/3 more area when compared to the ventilation holes that allow the air to exit.
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
Good suggestion. The unit needs airflow, not forced air.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] UndisputedGuy:
Hey, just after a little help

I was just wondering if there was a way to root the XZ1C without unlocking the bootloader? I didn't really see a guide

Can you still hide root or go back to stock so that apps that don't work with root won't have any issues? I know unlocking the bootloader can cause issues, not sure about just root though.

I did see this, but it seems to be a bit outdated

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/how-to/reference-xperia-debranding-rooting-t3667368

Oh and also, is it true that the Xperia XZ1 Compact doesn't have double tap to wake? Is there no way of getting it back? Since most of you have probably had one for a while, what are some other drawbacks or negatives about the phone?

Thanks for any assistance :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] betacrypt:
I don't know of any ways to root without unlocking the bootloader, at least not on any Xperia. Pretty sure it's required. It didn't cause me any problems running latest stock then unlocking and flashing TWRP and Magisk. In fact it worked pretty well.

Phone is incredibly fast and smooth. I've used different ROMs. Haven't seen double tap to wake. Anyway it's the best compact phone by far, the only drawback being no raw image support so google camera isn't compatible. The stock camera app is good but not great.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
I really need to update that guide as it is outdated. To answer your first question, not really, an unlocked BL is required to get the most out of the phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] betacrypt:
If you want to root just unlock bootloader, flash TWRP in fastboot mode, then flash magisk in TWRP. It's fairly simple. But that's only if you unlock the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks for the responses, really appreciate the help. Good to hear the phone is still fast and smooth.

I'm pretty sure I was able to root my Z3 Compact in the past without unlocking the bootloader. I think it was through flashing a stock rooted .ftf file. I was really hoping something similar would be possible here. My concern is the apps that detect an unlocked bootloader and restrict access. Banking apps for example. Doesn't it also cause issues with Sony cameras once you unlock the bootloader?

I'm fine just being on stock Rooted and not being able to use custom ROMs if that's at all possible without unlocking the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] betacrypt:
The XZ1C fortunately doesn't have the same issue as the other previous Xperia models when it comes to unlocking bootloader and losing DRM keys for the camera. So if you unlock, the camera will behave like it does on locked stock.

If you want to root stock you'll still need to unlock the bootloader. I haven't seen any other way to do it. Maybe it's possible if someone on root stock uploads their rooted boot.img and you take that and replace the original boot.img in the ftf but I don't know if that'll work.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] UndisputedGuy:
It's disappointing to hear honestly. Given I did it on my Z3C, I thought it'd be possible here. Oh well, thanks for letting me know!

Maybe I'll have to see if I can make do without root. Does rooting still block Sony Apps like PS4 Remote Play, or have a lot of issues been ironed out by now? I know Banking Apps are completely blocked. You can't hide it, right?

What would you guys suggest is the best guide to rooting these days on an XZ1C on Android 9?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] betacrypt:
I use banking apps regularly and haven't had any issues despite both safetynet and CTS profile failing, I'm still looking into getting that fixed. I'm not sure about Sony remote play on root.

To root stock you just need to unlock the bootloader using the Xperia Flash tool, then in fastboot mode flash TWRP, then boot to TWRP and flash Magisk. It's surprisingly pretty simple.

There's also a recent thread here that I didn't see before about rooting with a locked bootloader, you might find something there. Haven't tested it myself though.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks, I'll definitely have a look at that. I did notice it said Android Oreo when mine's on Android 9, but I assume you can downgrade using flashtool. There's probably a list of firmwares somewhere on the forum, right?

One thing I am confused about it is you mentioned you don't lose your DRM keys on the XZ1C, but a lot of guides seem to talk about backing up the keys and the TA Partition as the camera won't work otherwise. What's the reason for that? Are the guides just a bit outdated and there's no current one available?

Thanks for all the help btw, appreciate it
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] betacrypt:
No problem. Flashtool will probably only have Pie firmware available. You could try this post for a link to the Oreo firmware for Central EU:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/b93mc9/xz1_compact_oreo_firmware_471a1620_download/

As for unlocking the DRM keys, I should clarify - I meant that if you unlock the bootloader you still lose the DRM keys but the Sony stock camera works as intended with most of features still enabled (before there used to be a green screen and glitches but not anymore for Pie, as with previous xperia models). I think some still get disabled after unlocking.

You can read more about that here: https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-android-pie-unlock-bootloader-drm-fix-camera/
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] UndisputedGuy:
I'll definitely try that, looks like it might be worth trying the whole temp root method from Oreo and then updating back to Pie after.

I read up on the link, it's nice to see Sony reinstated Camera functionality, but honestly I wouldn't really want to lose access to the other features too from unlocking the Bootloader. Is there a way to keep them by backing up and restoring the DRM keys? Any recommended software for that?

I clicked through and saw this link, but I'm not sure it works for the XZ1C or is the most updated version

https://xdaforums.com/xz-premium/development/hack-mod-sony-xperia-xz-premium-twrp-t3695171

I'll have to do a bit more reading, I was looking for a more up to date guide for everything like unlock/backup/restore etc, somewhere on this forum but I've not been able to see it honestly.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] betacrypt:
Afraid I haven't seen anything recent here on DRM backup and restore cause I haven't searched but maybe someone else knows. I haven't noticed any difference myself without the keys tbh.

This seems to be the thread, but honestly I was pretty ill that week and didn't really read through it properly, so didn't notice it's got a full breakdown. I thought it was just steps to backup the TA partition.

In my defence it looks like another user on the forum was also looking for the same thing

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] PriPhaze:
Ok straight to the point.

I installed Device info HW and under the battery tab you can see it says "Kernel Profile" for the battery and it lists 2 different battery capacities?

On mine is says 3587/4000 mAh

I bought this phone used since it was cheap and it's the 128gb version.

But I'm s bit concern about the battery, I don't know if the first owner cared about his battery or no.

I get around 6 to 7hrs of screen time while playing usually.

But when I pay games like Dragon Raja in 60 fps I get like 5hrs o less of SOT.

Accubattery says my battery is at 82% health and it tops at like 3280mah even if I charge from 1% to 100.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] selimsandal141:

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Talha H. Zahid:
So i have been using Nokia 7 plus for almost 2 years now and it has gotten some crazy bugs over time. Its not just me but the rest of the communication is facing the same bugs and are waiting for an MR update which is no where to be seen. The phone is becoming really annoying to use so i was wondering that if someone would guide me regarding the matter if i decide to flash in a custom rom on my device. Will it take away the bugs as well? I am noob when it comes to flashing and stuff and i have never done it so i thought i might ask people's opinion before diving in!
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] StillBrilliant:
There's a MR update on its way, maybe the last. It's supposed to get released mid April.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jakubd:
Don't tell us "tried everything", because for me it means you have no idea what to do, so for sure you did not do the correct thing.

ANSWER/EXECUTE EACH POINT BELOW. Do not miss ANY (especially 3rd)

1. Do you want to use GPRS internet connection from you GSM operator to have internet access on your computer?

2. Does the internet connection work correctly in the PDA (you can browse websites using internet exploder)?

3. Disconnect BlueAngel from the computer. Disconnect your computer from Internet, if it has any other connection.

4. Run Internet Sharing application.

5. Choose a correct internet connection (if 2. was YES - default selection should be OK, but if it does not work, try other connections on the list, if available).

6. Choose USB connection on the 2nd list (you can play with bluetooth connection, when USB will be fine).

7. Press Connect.

8. When message shows up saying that device is ready, then connect BlueAngel to the computer using provided USB Cable/Cradle.

9. Wait, untill PC will recognize new device (Network Adapter) and test the internet connection.

If somehow this procedure did not work, pinpoint exact moment that did not work and explain what went wrong (exact message would be helpful).
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] TodNex:
Hi all,

occasionally I see my 7 months old Pixel 3a XL can't hold battery power from 11% down. Switches off very fast, abnormally fast. Then if I power it and start it then keeps on restarting until battery level is higher than 5-6%

I use the original charger only. Sometimes it appears, some it does not and I can see it discharges as expected.

I try to keep my battery within 40-100% full and discharge it very rarely to 0%.

Anyone facing those abnormalities? Can't think of connected events - updates, etc ....

Cheers

p.s. after last night happening again, charged the phone from 0% to 86% (phone was off during charge), turned on on 86% and left over night on the shelf. Usually drains 2-3%, this morning it dropped from 86% to 62%. All connections off, nothing unusual shown in the battery usage stats...
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
That's pretty weird

My 3a xl (about the same age as yours) doesn't use more than 10% max when left overnight. Are you using AOD or anything?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] TodNex:
[MENTION=6315410]Skittles9823[/MENTION] nothing beside stock Android and apps that I've used forever. Strange is that it's occasional - also occassional is initial drain from 100% to 92%.

Maybe its time to flash it - nothing suspicious is shown in batt stats

I use the fast charger that came with it. Not sure how it affects battery life long term. I try to keep it 100% to 40% usually and not charge it if not necessary..
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] WibblyW:
I think popular wisdom is that both fast charging and in particular charging to 100% are not kind to the battery's longivety. Divided opinion about the effect of discharging to low percentages. Personally I charge to between 70 and 80% unless I know I'm going to need more capacity. 3a XL has a bigish battery, which helps. I recharge most nights but only to 70-80%. End of day I usually end up between high 40's and low 30's charge.

I manually set all apps I don't actually need to run in background to 'restricted' background use.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] doubledragon5:
I charge mine up to a 100% often, when using it heavy.. I never heard of charging a battery to 100% being bad for it, unless you believe everything that is told or should I say sold to you.. Sounds like a faulty battery. If still under the 1 yr usual warranty I would have it replaced. I have drained mine down to less than 20% and still never experience any issue that OP state.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] WibblyW:

https://accubattery.zendesk.com/hc/...-Cycle-Life-Modeling-of-Lithium-Ion-Batteries

Also Apple have actually introduced a feature to stop/postpone 100% charging when the phone thinks it's not required. Would be good if we had similar/more control for Android.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210512
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] doubledragon5:
I'm still not sold on the idea that charging a battery to 100% is bad.. But thanks for those links.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
It's actually true. Lithium Ion batters degrade over time, the speed of which, depends on the amount of battery cycles they go through (0-100% and vice versa). Others have done the research and the math and found that generally a 20% to 80% and vice versa charge seems to be the best for longevity.

Personally I charge to 100 but try to charge my phone when it gets to 20-30%.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] WibblyW:
Evidence and research is there. Of course you don't have to believe it. It's your phone, your battery, your money :)
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] doubledragon5:
So very true my phone my money. In all my years of using cell phones, I think I have actually replaced a battery once because it went bad.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] TodNex:
Thank you all for the links and the inputs!

One more symptom - when is very low like this morning - 1% and put it in charger - phone shuts off.

I will keep the battery in 40-80% for the future and limit the drain below 40%. I tried to charge it slow with USB - took me like 6-7 hours...

How long it takes you from zero to 100% with the stock charger - looks very fast to me - 0% to 67% in 35 mins

I personally tried to research and could not find what is worse for these batteries - number of cycles (obvious less when used below 40%) or the low capacity usage ?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] WibblyW:
The included charger is a fast charger, good for headlining how fast it charges, not so great for the battery. I just use a 'standard' (Anker) USB charger.

Jury's out on if deeper discharge is bad, but it's the number of complete cycles (0-100% counting as 1). So 40 - 80% is 0.4 of a full cycle, and you're not stressing the battery so much by taking it to 100%. Many folk here replace their phones frequently enough not to be bothered by all this - if they sell it when 20% of the battery capacity's gone, that's fine.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] TodNex:
I've observed the behaviour and few things made me question myself...one time I can see 13% battery and palying Youtube just shutdown the phone. Put it into charger and started showing 4% as initial charge.

There was another time when using Viber video shutdown in 23% but can be overheat or software bug.

I try to keep it these days above 40% charge but still use the supplied charger till I buy new slower one.

Hi guys!

I have some probs with Google Photos since some time ago with my OnePlus 5 and ROG Phone II, because I can not save changes of any video edition. Trying to stabilize or turn any video. "Changes not saved".

This problem comes from some months-a year ago... so yeah, it's a bit off-topic, but maybe there are some people that this concerned by this prob.

Do you know how to solve it? I've entered in google forum, asking and searching answers: I've cleaned data of Google Services, Google Photos app... nothing. In some post, the google helper said that it's maybe due to is not the "original" Android, as last excuse. They putted as example that OxygenOS is not original Android, but wtf... It should not work on any Android Phone except Pixel or some Android Go devices. I've tryied with OxygenOS and custom roms and nothing... and with my ROG neither.

Some idea? Could be something related to my Google Account? It's the same in both telephones, and in my house there's a ZTE Nubia Z17 Lite with LineageOS 14 and a Blackphone 2, and in both is working.
