Is there a way in lineageos to give preference to 5ghz wifi if the router broadcasts both 5ghz and 2.4ghz@
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] birefringence:
I went through the same process. I noticed that the stock firmware prompted me to "reboot the phone to optimize for your network provider" a short while after finishing the setup process.

I managed to save most of my data by performing a TWRP backup of the whole system before flashing the stock rom, re-installing LineageOS, booting into it once and then restoring system and user data (though I'm not sure if that exact sequence is successful, I went through quite some trial and error until my phone was booting again).

I did however learn the hard way that all Signal messages are lost, because TWRP cannot backup/restore the Android key store. I also had to reinstall some other apps that relied on it.

VoLTE and Wifi-Calls work now at least incoming for AldiTalk.

The newer firmware makes the proximity sensor work less reliably. Often the screen does not turn back on, even if the phone is not close to any surface. This usually can be resolved with some "handwaving".

if Wi-Fi Calling is activated its not possible anymore to establish SIP/VoIP connections with VoIP-App(s), like LinPhone or FritzFon.

With deactivated Wi-Fi and mobile-connection or with deactivated Wi-Fi Calling anything works fine and its possible get the SIP-Registration. I think this behaviour is since approx. End of May 2021.

Hey,

I've a problem with the bootloader. Whenever I try to enter bootloader-mode, the devices reboots.

I tried:

adb reboot bootloader, from recovery, via the reboot menu and pressing the volume button during startup.

Does anybody have a suggestion what I can do, to reactivate/reenable the bootloader-mode?

Thank you!!

Getting back to this issue I have a log on a freshly flashed XA2 with just Threema on it and 1 picture taken with the default camera app:

Sending the picture to another device using bluetooth file transfer actually causes this issue on the other phone as well. Apparently there is actually something wrong with the jpeg itself pointing it to the direction of the camera app?!

Update:

I tried using different Camera Apps (such as Simple Camera from F-Droid) and the problem is non-existing. Thus I assume that there is something wrong mit the standard "org.lineageos.snap"-app. But surprisingly only in this rom. On my XZ2 Compact the app works just fine. How can this XA2-specific app-problem be fixed?

Okay, I've tried writing data to two different cards using my banking apps. They do not work. I can only read data from the cards, not write. Could be my hardware or related to this ROM..
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtweek:
Hello, I just wanted to thank you for your efforts and dedication to keeping this sexy phone alive. The ROM is clean and performant.

I was just wandering around a shopping center and found this phone on sale for $90 (it was also the last available unit open box). I remembered it had official LOS 18.1 support so I HAD to pick it up and throw away the Samsung garbage (A20) I had.

I proceeded to update the device to the latest Android 9 firmware which was time consuming 🥱 (can anyone confirm I indeed have the latest vendor update? Mine is Novemver 1 2020).

I couldn't backup the DRM keys since you needed root access somehow to get access to the TA partition (might as well mention in the installation guide that it is IMPOSSIBLE to backup DRM keys for newer devices).

I couldn't care less and proceeded to boot the LOS recovery and installing the system.

And there it is, clean LineageOS on a clean phone.

Thank you.

[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] oldfish327:
Hello,

I have an XA2 H3123 with LOS 18.1 and the LOS recovery installed. I am unable to reinstall the stock Sony ROM on my XA2. I am trying to get VoLTE to work and read several posts here that suggest that having the 50.2 firmware enables VoLTE. I followed the steps on page 1 of this thread for reinstalling the full Sony firmware package, but I am unable to get back to the Sony software. Currently the lock screen on my phone says I have no SIM card (the card is installed and was tested in another phone), WIFI works, and the baseband is now 20200722_BY120. Any suggestions? Could the LOS recovery be causing the problem?

I did the following:

Started with working LOS18.1 and LOS Recovery on XA2 with 50.1 baseband and the 50.2 modem file.

1. Used Xperifirm to download latest Xperia firmware (H3123_Customized US_50.2.A.3.77-R6B)

2. Removed the unwanted files from Xperia firmware package

3. Used Newflasher to flash remaining files to my XA2

4. Rebooted XA2 - OS is still LOS, baseband is now 20200722_BY120,

but SIM is no longer recognized and I cannot make/receive calls

5. Tried running Newflasher again - still on LOS

6. Tried factory reset - still on LOS

7. Used fastboot to switch slots - bootloop, switched back - still LOS, still no mobile network

PC OS: Ubuntu Mate

LOS 18.1 Release: 20211028

Platform-Tools Version: 31.0.3
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Andy_2639:
With removing the "unwanted" files, you removed the stock Android from the things to flash. According to the Newflasher thread, everything should be flashed. That means:

Newflasher doesn't like spaces in the path (according to the thread), so avoid them for the newflasher and firmware path.

`partition-image_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin` must be placed into a newly created `partition` folder: `mkdir ./partition && mv ./partition-image_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin ./partition/partition-image_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin`

`simlock.ta` must not be flashed (bricks device) but Newflasher ignores it for ages AFAIK

`persist_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin` must not be flashed (AFAIK flashing it removes factory calibration data forever). Recent Newflasher versions ignore it automatically.

With this, you should be able to flash the whole stock firmware including the stock Android.

Then, after flashing the stock Android, be sure to boot at least once into Android and finish the initial setup assistant. Be sure that VoLTE is enabled.

I had my SIM inserted during this first boot. After the setup assistant, Android said it has to reboot to complete carrier provisioning. After the reboot I checked that VoLTE is enabled and working. Then, I started to proceed with the LineageOS installation instructions.

This worked for my 4113 and 3113.

Hope this helps saving your device.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] oldfish327:
Thanks! Makes perfect sense. I reinstalled using your instructions and got back to Sony firmware. Had SIM installed on first boot, never got the reboot for VoLTE message. Rebooted twice for good measure then reinstalled LOS. My SIM is recognized properly again. No IME registration so I assume no VoLTE. May be my carrier (Red Pocket on ATT). Will order a SIM on Verizon and try that. Thanks for the help.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Andy_2639:
Nice to hear that your phone works again.

Somewhere, I read that VoLTE has to work with stock ROM before flashing LineageOS. So hopefully, your new carrier will work with VoLTE without a roundtrip to stock Android ...

It can perfectly be that I misunderstood something or remember it wrongly.

Anyway, it would be interesting to know whether VoLTE works immediately with your new carrier or you had to flash stock Android, enable VoLTE, and then go back to LineageOS.
[Sony Xperia XA2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtweek:
I am not a dev but I heard LineageOS has some Wireguard patches, can you add those please to future builds?

It might be the reason that "No modules are available for my device" (yes i have root access).

If that's not the reason, could someone tell me why that's the case?

I have finally made the installation of LOS 18.1 on my H3113. Everything went fine and I do not have any problems left! :)

My way was prior to the installation of LOS 18.1 to install complete latest stock on both slots with newflasher, boot phone and check if things like GPS or VoLTE work. Especially VoLTE was working fine.

Installation of LOS 18.1 in steps:

1. Installation of TWRP 3.5.2.9 via fastboot

2. Installation of LOS 18.1 version 2021-10-21 (see later why) on both slots

3. Installation of openGApps pico edition on both slots.

4. Installation of LOS Recovery via fastboot because TWRP stayed in the recovery boot loop and I was not able to fix this inside TWRP because of a error while creating the image.

5. Boot of LOS 18.1 and basic configuration.

6. Check if VoLTE is working. -> Success! :cool:

7. Running LOS updater for update to version 2021-11-11. Update is running fine! Out of this reason to check the updater I did not install the latest version above.

8. GPS was not working. In this thread I found to use GPSTest to clear the assist data. After that GPS works in apps like HERE WeGo.

9. Problem with Signal and pictures does not happen on my device. I am using Open Camera as camera app.

Thank you @LuK1337 for all your work on this ROM!

Still no luck with adoptable storage. I've looked at this commit and applied the same properties for our device, together with encryptable=userdata in fstab.qcom, and it actually works and survives reboots.

But the worst part is, it still applies file-based encryption on top of block-based one, meaning you can't just extract key from /data/misc/vold, mount it on PC and back up your data if anything happens to the phone itself, as all files will get shown as undecryptable garbage (this isn't the case with AOSP, by the way).

Tried to cherrypick and resolve kernel patches like this one, and all it did is make all apps requiring file access crash. Seems like it all goes back to ancient 4.4 kernel not supporting whatever we need for adoptable storage to work normally.

Hey ya'll. My partner is running a Sony Xperia XA2 H3133, build lineage_pioneer-userdebug 11 RQ3A.211001.001 10038441 (jan 13, 2022). We've been keeping it up-to-date all along since we installed it a few months ago. Recently my partner got charges for data usage even though the 'mobile data' has been in the off state the whole time. My partner does not pay for a data plan, so this ended up being ~$50 which is pretty expensive for a few MB used (Canada sux for data fees, holy crapola!).

We've turned off the date via the mobile phone carrier for the time being, while troubleshooting it, but I'm wondering why is it allowing data when we have it explicitly turned off.

The apps that are listed in "mobile data usage" are as follows:

oct 11- nov 10 2021

Frost 8.06 MB

Android OS 0.92 MB

Firefox 852 kB

Element 493 kB

Magisk 30.6 kB

Nov 11 - dec 10 2021

Frost 623 kB

Android OS 554 kB

Element 293 kB

Firefox 123 kB

Magisk 13.72 kB

Dec 11 - Jan 10 2022

Firefox 3.29 MB

Element 1.52 MB

Frost 597 kB

Android OS 327 kB

K-9 Mail 55.24 kB

Magisk 22.08 kB

Why is the data usage happening, and can it be fixed in the OS or will we have to rely on the carrier to keep it off? Magisk is installed for root access to the app from F-Droid called "app manager" which allows us to micro manage various applications' permissions with regards to accessing different modules. (cameras, storage, mic, screen capture, trackers, etc...) While I have some experience with wireshark and capturing packets to troubleshoot strange network behaviour, I have no idea where or how i'd do something like that with WCDMA/GSM/LTE

Thanks
