[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] He.Art:
Ohayo!

The phone has problems with audio. However, I think it can be more or less determined what it is due to. Two days ago the music started to be heard as if it were escaping from The Matrix. If you locked the device, the music would stop. Then the bootloop started, constant bootloop. The only way the phone works is in total silence mode. If the phone is started with sound, it is necessary to clean the cache so that it starts again in total silence mode. Sometimes it doesn't even start the audio, directly without sound engine. If any application tries to access the sound, bootloop starts. If you want to record a video, the phone goes into bootloop. If you get a notification with sound, the phone restarts. If you want to listen to music, the phone will play it for 10 seconds. Then the music will be distorted as if it were a horror movie. Finally the phone will stop responding and after 5 seconds it will enter bootloop. I'll try to use a rom here, but I guess the problem is hardware.

What do you think? I would like to know your opinions.

Thank you for reading this short summary.

Have a nice day ☺️

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] He.Art:
Yep, it was a hardware problem.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] He.Art:
momentarily I bought a Haylou GT1 to solve the problem. The bluetooth codec works well in terms of audio, and even lets you listen to WhatsApp conversation. However the phone has random reboots and each time it does it it tries to start the audio. The results are clearly appalling. The phone reboots 16 (or more) times before achieving stability. I want to root the phone and prevent it from starting the audio hardware, until I can get it for service. Which line should I delete so that the audio service does not start?

I just got the update today and now my phone is extremely slow to unlock/light up the screen after i press the unlock button, does anyone experience this too ?
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] akitomartin:
Today I had the update as well. At first glance, no big changes. The only thing I noticed is that the options and icons on the top bar have changed. And the powermenu. I keep investigating.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kwstas 13:
I certainly don't face such an issue! The animations though, are a bit slower than they were on Android 10.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nolihowell:
I am experiencing persistent bugs in Android 11 Update when you charge your phone completely turned off the power button have a delay response to power it on again and when you watch a movie on the sony album app the navigation buttons fades away then if you use the mx player as an alternative video app it closes from time to time it never happens in Android 10.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] akitomartin:
I had this problem but I solved it by doing a repair from the Xperia companion.

It happened to me on the official youtube app. The controls disappear and the screen is no longer responding.

I think they have more bugs than I expected. We will have to wait for more updates.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kwstas 13:
I don't have bugs but, the Overall experience feels kind of slower. Not slow, but slower than it used to be. The boot up also is about 5-7 seconds slower. It feels like they put some weight on the phone.

Edit : I will wait for a next update, to see if it fixes the phone's speed. Even though I don't think it will. If not, I'll do a clean install, and if even after it things don't change, previous Android 10 will be my daily driver.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nolihowell:
Yes there's some versions of the YouTube app that closes on me too.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nolihowell:

[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] stephan27:
I just updated today and I'm experiencing the same issue: 4-5 seconds until it reacts... Hope this gets solved quickly with an update!

EDIT: After restarting the phone, it seems to be back to normal. Unlocking works fast again like before. Haven't notice any bugs either, the only thing I really don't like is that quick settings (pull-down menu) are imited to two rows --> only six icons, instead of nine as before.

As I wtore before, FP sensor is very sensitive to strong pressure, can be damaged if you press to this sensor by strong power, so be carefull.

If the fp menu disappeared, I try to push with strong force to the sensor transversely, like in photo attached. Restart, and voala... perfect working FP. (Your fingers must be cleaned thorougly of course dried out.)

Updated to 55.2.A.4.332 and the fingerprint problem still persist. At the start after upgrading, my finger print briefly become functional again. I could registered 1 finger. But after I started registering my 2nd finger, the problem came back. Would a factory reset address the problem? It would take a lot of time for backup and restore.

Edit: Just did a full Factory Reset, no improvement. Then I also did an xperia companion repair, still the same result. Quite sad.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nolihowell:
Yes it's the sad reality for us Xperia 5 users sony has abandoned their responsibility. That is why I am hesitant to perform a factory reset after updating my device to 55.2.A.4.332 over the air (OTA). If what you say is true there's no point to even perform a factory because I have to setup my device again.
[Sony Xperia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] palkia171993:
Well, I tried contacting local Sony support through the Support App within Setting after the full wipe.

To be fair, they actually replied quite urgently and provided me with a super long tutorial on various ways that they think will potentially helps with the problems like: force restart, enter safemode, factory reset, xperia companion repair. I did all with no luck and informed them again.

They then told me it's best to just go to the repair center which I am still quite hesitant to do since it will involve leaving my device for a few days there. I did try to raise their awareness that this is more likely a wipespread software problem though. If only more people speak about it :v

Similar thing happened in the past for the first few android 9/10 updates I think. I remembered the fingerprint just show up as not OK in 7378423 test when I first got the phone then eventually turn ok in later android 10 updates.

Fingerprint problem surely won't break the phone usage but it's kinda irritating nonetheless.

First, thanks a ton for this. I have been trying to pull a full system dump since I bought the tablet and had resorted to single pulls by name(very long and involved) I don't know if this will work for you, but on both of my 7 inch Gen 2 tablets, I just sideloaded Magisk Manager and then opened it (this was after unlocking the tablet) When I first opened MM it just said it needed to download some additional files for my environment. I clicked okay, it downloaded and installed the additional files. Once it rebooted, I open MM again and clicked install Magisk. On the next screen, I clicked direct install and let it do it's thing. After rebooting, root checker showed I had root, but I still can't get it to pass safetyNet. Root access does work as I have installed a few modules and busy box.

Do I have to factory reset?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] eric_4321:
After November's system update, I followed the guide rooted my Pixel 5 and pass SafetyNet. But I can not receive OTA update, here is my original post.

Yesterday, I found a Magisk module - Universal SafetyNet Fix, here is the post. First, I modified the build.prop from Pixel 3 back to default Pixel 5 by MagiskHide Props Config. Then I install Universal SafetyNet Fix 1.1 module. After the restart, "Check SafetyNet" Success.

I checked system update, it's back! I uninstall Magisk (restore image), then start the system update. Before restart, back to Magisk install. But there is no option for "install to inactive slot". I googled what's happened here. So I have to "Direct Install". After restart, as I guess, Magisk and root both fine, but the system update still let me restart to apply. So this time I restart directly without uninstalling Magisk. This time, the system update to December, Magisk still installed but root is not available. I check system update again and update to the latest January patch.

Then followed the regular steps, I patch the latest Stock Boot image, then flashflash the patched image to my phone. Module and root back again.
