[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] braveally:
Currently using the Xperia XZ2C and looking to upgrade either to the Xperia 5 II or divest from Sony and try the One Plus 9. I'm not thrilled about what people are saying about its quirks as well, and my experience with the Motorola Edge left a bad taste for me when it comes to curved screens.

I love the form factor of this phone and features, but I'm concerned about the bugs I'm seeing mentioned. I was all Sony until this year when I decided to get a new Xbox over the PS5. Unfortunately before I made that decision I had already gotten a new Sony TV (X900h) & Soundbar (ST-HT5000). The TV has a lot of software problems in the updates and it's concerning to see here that Sony's buggy Android software continues across multiple devices.

I've been using Xperia phones for the last several years, with a few attempts to try other devices. My experience was so lackluster with them that I ended up repairing my XZ2C to continue to use over the last year.

So, those with regular bugs, would you get this device today? The 5 iii is nowhere to be found for me and not worth it IMHO. What would have been your alternative?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] MrN1484:
I actually really enjoyed this phone, camera is quirky but great when you get used to it, the form factor is perfect, SD card, nice display etc etc.

What I couldn't stand is the proximity sensor didn't seem to work that well so when I was on the phone I'd end up muting myself or random pressing all sorts of buttons with my face. Also, the reception got worse and worse to the point where it was basically unusable for me, such a shame as I liked everything about it but the clue is in the name, a SmartPHONE. As that, it was terrible.

I've moved on to a Pixel 6 and despite the size difference it's a lovely bit of kit.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] patrickt:
I enjoy the Xperia 5 II because I enjoy taking photos. I'm quite deaf and rarely use the phone and never accept phone calls. I used text messaging a lot. Mostly, I run some apps like Keep, Maps, and Photos and I have two dictionaries I use. I've had no bugs.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] wazzaworld:
I'm really happy with my 5 II. Not really seen any bugs. Fingerprint reader is hit and miss but nothing else really i could think of as a bug. Poor flashlight though! Definitely pleased I bought it though.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] gerhardo:
My 5ii got trapped between the car and the door and had to be replaced. (It looks like a banana but screen did not crack and it works fine on the desk).

The 5ii was more or less out of stock at that time and I did not bother to get a used phone. I got a OnePlus 8T for half the price of the available 5ii, so I went with that.

I would have preferred the 5ii in general, but there are good and bad.

The phones are quite similar, introduced about the same time with similar SOC.

OP9 is very similar to OP8T, some parts are better, other are not.

Pros for the 5ii:

* Easier to handle, can hold with one hand

* Lighter, more comfortable to hold.

* Sidesense (no built in alternative for OP before Android 12)

* Barometer

* Better screen usage. OP uses more of the front with a screen, this does not matter much when the status field is much wider due to the punch hole

* Camera button, not opposing volume and power as on OP (many screenshots...)

* Better placements of camera, less fingers covers them.

* Tele lens was more useful than I expected

* Cameras may not be better in tests, but I took better photos with them. Probably due to that they are faster.

* 3.5 mm and SD card

* Capacitive sidemounted sensor is normally preferred.

Pros OP8T:

* Larger, brighter and better screen, less need for reading glasses.

* Better phone speakers, louder, no vibration .

* Dual band GPS

* Android 11 +3 updates compared to Android 10 +2 updates - two more years. More open dev community too, better Google Camera etc.

* Main Camera can be better in very few situations

* Quick actions from locked screen is useful
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] :
Had the 8T some months ago.

Finally returned it for some reasons

- many missed notifications due to ****ty battery optimizations in stock rom

- no way to disable album cover in the Lock Screen background while listening to music

- severe Amoled screen burn-in after a few days

But with Pixel experience it was one of the best phone I ever had:

- Widevine L1 while being rooted and BL unlocked (!)

- Great speaker sound

- Great GCam support

- Notification volume physical slider

- Many customization options

I got the 5 ii which I love. The headphone jack, battery, screen ratio are a perfect fit for me. But the lack of dev community is somewhat something that will bother me when it will be stuck with Android 12.

[Samsung Galaxy M21 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Flylarb:
Thx
[Samsung Galaxy M21 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OldNoobOne:
Thanks Dev, Great job!

Its booting on SM-M215G/DS as well which is great,

So far I found a few issues though maybe because its not meant for M215G so but nevertheless

1) Bluetooth Not Working error popup, bluetooth does not detect devices.

2) Battery Saver Mode absent, No Battery Saver icon as well as No battery option under settings tab

3) Can't create New Folder inside Internal Storage

4) GCam not able to save or click any pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy M21 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Flylarb:
Bluetooth are main bugs

Happen for m215f as well

Battery Saver bec i remove device manager

Cant create new folder is bugs

Gcam and samsung cam is bug at camera features

Will fix in next build

If you want to contact me

My telegram is 0816278942
[Samsung Galaxy M21 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OldNoobOne:
1) True

2) I'm not a dev or programmer but, I saw in ( Shamshung as well as Xioame) like if we deleted the Device Security or Device Manager app OR even if we disable just one of the services of those two apps, the built-in Android Battery Saver still offered Medium Battery Saving option (no extreme battery saving option) from the QS Drop-Down Menu and if we long-clicked on the battery saver icon it took us to Battery Settings option & there too only medium battery saving option available, in Pixie the whole battery option was absent. So just an observation.

3) Also, in About Device option under Settings, it shows ElementaryOS in one place and under Software Info it shows PixieOS. So thats another one I noticed.

4) One more thing I noticed is that, after flashing FixPermissions zip , I disabled a critical system app then rebooted to recovery & wiped Dalvik/ART + CACHE and when I rebooted to system after that, OS still managed to boot but kept showing a progress bar "Starting Andoid" but went back to TWRP , so I think FixPermission is partially working, if i'm not wrong. Without flashing FixPermission it wouldnt even boot , so I think FixPermission is partly working.

5) My number got banned by Telegram for some kiddish reasons but I can DM you?
[Samsung Galaxy M21 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Flylarb:
Yep

Use Discord

i will add that battery soon

Floating feature from my elementary os port so it will say elementary

Fix permissions make system boot bec it have correct permissions bec i mistake and i dont know where
[Samsung Galaxy M21 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OldNoobOne:
Thanks, will wait for updates or full ROM for M215G 👍
[Samsung Galaxy M21 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Flylarb:
Full One Ui?
[Samsung Galaxy M21 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OldNoobOne:
Thanks, One UI is great but anything will do, also pls work on FixPermission zip ( Q permission system will also do if not N or P ) coz its half-functional already 👍 also pls post Donate button so we can donate to you.
[Samsung Galaxy M21 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OldNoobOne:
Hi Flylarb, do you have the updated Fixpermission.zip file? I wanted to test it on M215G.

I'm not able to login to both telegram or discord for some technical reasons.

Does anybody have some solution?

Sorry because my english is sux
[HTC Vox] parthabhatta:
The Rightmenu is a separate software which has to be installed to get the RightMenu installed in Right soft key. Just a google a bit and find out yourself. But the point is it wont work alongwith the slide panel themes. Once you change to some other home screens it will automatically come.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] surfjack:
Hi Everybody,

can somebody tell me if i can use the Enterprise Edition in the same way like the Standard Consumer Edition?

There are not many information to be found in the world wide web regarding user experiencse :(

What I found out is that the Enterprise Editions...

...can remotely be preconfigured without unboxing it (guess that is will connect some servers at startup and checks for configuration data set) if i am a company IT Manager

...receives more frequently and long term security updates

...has special security software package (KNOX)

...available on the market for fixed time period

Does anybody know if it is possible to disable all the KNOX features and use it like a standard consumer??

Are there any limits or disatavantages for standard consumer?

Do i have to pay for the enterprise features after a certain period?

The model i have bought is SM-G980F/DS. Seems that Hardware is the same, but with a different "Enterprise"-Software Suite. But I am not sure if it is suitable for me if i am not an employee.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yokonzo:
Title days it all, here are my specs

OnePlus 8 pro Android 11

Rom: crdroid 7.4 instantnoodlep

Gcam version:GCam 7.3.018 Urnyx05-v2.5

Config: nrG--Urnyx05-7.3.018-v2.0

On stock OnePlus rom the slowotion camera worked fantasticly, I happened to use it quite a lot. Since going to crdroid and using gcam I notice though I can set videos to film 144fps, as soon as I try to use the slow motion feature on gcam it will pause for a second and visibly drop frames while filming. Checking out the footage is even worse since, ya know, a 20 fps video slowed down is basically a slideshow. I've included an example and a matlog just in case, but does anyone have a workaround for this? I'd hate to go back to stock for something so arbitrary

Edit: literally won't let me upload the text file for some reason, so here's the logcat
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
GCam cannot do slow motion. One of the reasons the OOS camera getting ported to AOSP /Lineage type ROM's, amongst others
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yokonzo:
That's a shame, would you happen to know if there's a port for crdroid floating around in the ether? I can't seem to find anything
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Check the OnePlus 8 unified forum, it's in the OnePlus 8 section.

Evo X I'd recommend.

It has the OOS camera with working slow motion and wide angle, plus Google photos provides unlimited back up for free at original resolution
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yokonzo:
Looks like the author took down all his files, eh well. you said most aosp roms might have a port though right? ill look around and see what i can see

No mate, you're looking in the OnePlus 8 'pro' section..

I said OnePlus 8
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yokonzo:
I actually lucked out and just installed the newest version of crdroid, turns out they just slipped the port in there at some point and it works great now

I bought Samsung S21 Ultra recently, I was using Google Photos before and still wanna use it. I just don't want switch to Microsoft OneDrive.

I disabled every battery and sleep optimization in phone. I don't know what to do next. I disabled Android's own battery optimization for "Google Photos", disabled "Samsung Device Health" battery optimization. And it's still not working in background. I really need help, I was using Google Photos too much in my daily workflow before.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] clairelara:
Try to force stop google photos if it is built-in or reinstall the app and remove and add your Google account again in your phone.

You could try some GSIs, however your mileage may vary. I recommend to use GSIs built from source, and avoid sGSIs (i.e. Device ports).

[Coolpad Cool1 Questions & Answers] Sarah3095:
I have been trying to learn how to do this on my own, however I have been unsuccessful at finding tutorials, so I have three questions for the experts here.

1) Has anyone been successful in rooting the Coolpad Legacy cp3705AS before? I have several things I would like to do with it that I need root for.

2) Dependent on answer #1, where can a girl find a good custom rom, or can someone partner with me so I can learn how to create one?

3) Here's the REAL needs... I found my Coolpad phone under a bridge, all busted up. I fixed it and it is an AWESOME (in my opinion) phone at least compared to the kind of crap that I can actually afford.... Anyway, I use a Wiko Ride phone on Assurance Wireless for my actual phone, and the coolpad is nothing more than a tablet for me, but I want to use it as my phone on Assurance Wireless. The phone is carrier unlocked and recognizes the SIM and Assurance Wireless networks, but Assurance Wireless is looking for an ESN that THEY sold rather than allowing a BYOP situation. I read that is it possible to overlay one phones radio information over the top of another and "trick" the new phone into using the identity of the old phone. First, would this work? and second, if so, does anyone know how?

Hi,

You may all have noticed that the default refresh rate at 60Hz is not working properly, in all custom roms for this device even after applying this value in your settings :

It keeps the value always higher at 120Hz or can be very laggy in some cases !!! This has, of course, a huge impact to the battery life.

BTW, I don't understand why ROM developers keep 120Hz as default refresh rate ... What is really the benefit ???

So, I have made this simple Magisk module to set properly the 60Hz and make it as smooth as 120Hz.

Enjoy !

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] arak99:
I'm using the latest Cingular / AT&T upgraded ROM (Build 18128.0.4.4). When I receive a phone call and use volume control scroll wheel on the side, the phone keys (red and green phone keys on the front of the phone) stop working. Only a reboot or reset fixes the issue. Not only the phone keys stop working, all the keys surrounding the joystick (such as the ok and windows keys, etc) stop working. Touchpad keys keep working though.

The same issue happens when I'm using any application and receive a phone and accept the call using the phone button while still in the middle of the application. This problem is consistently repeatable.

Anyone experience such an issue or has any idea what the solution could be?

Thanks in advance

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Lu5ck:
All android apps are vsync enabled. Likewise, there are thousands of apps out there thus who are they (devs) to decide what users want their refresh rate to be for those apps?

Google also provided the means to limit the rates and in fact, there is an paid app called "AutoHz" that does exactly that for every single app the user installed, each with their own fps limit. There is only one such refresh rate manager app so feel free to make an open source alternative of that.
