[Sony Xperia 5 IV] thud1:
I have the Xperia 5 IV XQ-CQ72 and i got update notification but still on Android 12. :( no 13 yet.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] piskr:
I have Xperia 5 IV XQ-CQ72 too. No 13 either, but I just bought the phone (Black Friday acquisition). I'm new to Sony family, previously I had a few Vivo phones. So far I'm impressed. It's amazing how Japanese squeeze such a lot of electronics into a small phone, even a 5Ah battery, and everything works flawlessly.

I'm glad that I don't experience two issues usually mentioned in phone reviews - overheating and unreliable fingerprint.

I don't have a chance to really test the camera, though. But on the first sight it looks more promising than I expected. After all, I came from Vivo.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] WalterCool:
The phone is great, except it kills apps from background too fast. That's a software issue thankfully and can be resolved with a software update.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] opticron:
I've been chatting with Sony support about this and providing whatever videos they ask for as evidence. Hopefully they address the problem since I've given them logcat dumps demonstrating the issue.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] opticron:
I just got info from Sony support today that one of the issues I've reported should be fixed in the Android 13 release due by the end of next week (Dec 23). I'm in the US with the 62 model.

I just dirty flashed 64.1.A.0.857 on a rooted XQ-CQ72. No issues so far
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] DanielMode:
u lost root.?!
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] WalterCool:
I did lost Magisk, but you can easily redo it.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] DanielMode:
k but I'm tired to reset my phone again
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Skv012a:
For that matter - since Sony openly lets us unlock the bootloader, OFW updates are a full-go for us and won't impede rooting ability, right?
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] WalterCool:
1.- Only for international devices. Sony doesn't allow bootloader unlock for US devices.

2.- As far I know, modified devices (unlocked bootloader) lose OTA. I had to manually update using Xperiafirm and newflasher
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Skv012a:
By the way, I'm infinitely glad I picked one up in Japan over the US because this scrutiny is ridiculous! That said, I'm not rooted just yet and I'd have to prep a full file (mostly in-phone backup of pics) backup first, so I'm not rooted yet and seems like jumping to 13 first makes the most sense.

That said, I seriously gotta tip my hat to Sony for just allowing us to do entirely as we please with their phones while literally every other brand is cockblocking our freedom. Over the years, I missed having a task killer soooo much to save random background apps slowly tugging at the battery and then all the magisk plugins like ad blockers.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kkoolkaran:
Hi,

I am not sure if I have stated my issue correctly in the title but here I will explain it

So i have a Xiaomi 11x and recently i bought realme buds Q2. I like the buds pretty much in the price range, the way it fits, sound and ANC etc. So everything is fine except one thing. After some random time, the buds keep disconnecting and reconnecting on its own after few seconds of disconnecting. Every time it disconnects and re-connects it makes a sound while wearing, which is very annoying. I got my buds replaced with same model but problem is still the same. So I guess problem is in my phone. I googled and done the following troubleshooting but failed to resolve the issue:

1. Tried resetting the buds by following steps given by Realme

2. Cleared bluetooth cache

3. Reset bluetooth (in settings > connections & sharing)

4. Given "no restriction" under battery to realme link app

5. Connected without realme link app

6. Even reinstalled MIUI bluetooth

Well, all the above stepps did not solve the issue. However, I observed following things:

1. It does not disconnect while on call or listening to music

2. It does not disconnect when screen is awake.

MIUI 13.0.9.0 up to date

Android 12

Bluetooth version 12

I hope i have explained to correctly. If there any other information needed regarding device, pls let me know.

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
Hi,

Poco F3 custom rom user have also been having issues with Bluetooth and Android 13,

I use Bluetooth with a portable speaker and in my Car, but only for short periods of time and have had no issues.

Is your F3 going in power saving mode when the screen is off:unsure:

Is your bootloader unlocked, if so you could try a different rom,

I use the Amazing EVO-X A13 rom and have not had any issues with Bluetooth,

I hope your sort it.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kkoolkaran:
I have Mi 11x not F3. I am not sure if it is going into power saving mode. But i do not face this issue on any other bluetooth device and only on these buds.

No. My phone is locked. I had unlocked my phones in the past and installed different ROMs but it always opened pandora's box with host of problems. May be I am not good at it. Anyway..... unlocking and flashing is last thing that I will try.

I fiddled with some settings in developer options, or elsewhere perhaps, and now phone's bluetooth does not connect to saved devices automatically. It was doing so earlier. So now, it disconnects the buds but does not connect again. I need to connect them manually everytime.

I hope to find a solution or may be a 3rd party app??:confused:
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
Since you haven't encountered the issue on different BT devices nor buds and you have tried a different pair of the same buds, the problems most likely lies in the buds.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] card-us:
i think it has to do with M13A12 i have redmi buds 3 pro...& after up to M13A12 the bt tend to be way much unstable..even worse after last security update not my bud guaranted always be disconnect by itself (with the anc doesn't seeme to able always on...) with no solution for that..so mostly i think because mine were redmi buds brand...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kkoolkaran:
But these same buds work fine on my other phone :D So certianly, buds and my mi 11x are incompatible with each other. I noticed that the built in bt-app is creating some problem perhaps. When it disconnects, a pop to connect to buds come up on screen. Though it connects buds with phone in the back ground, the pop says could not connect. Same happened when i tried to connect it for first time. Well, i am living with it so far.

View attachment 5781667

What is M13A12?? You mean miui13 and android 12?? If u mean this, u might be right. And yes, ANC has nothing to do with it. I alway skeep my ANC off.

When i did factory reset, it worked fine for a while. For few hours to be precise. Then it downlaod and updated some apps in background. Also, i uninstalled some system apps, bloatware mainly like mi share, mipay etc... And again the same problem started. So, I am certain some app is creating the problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] :
I honestly have no idea. If the fault lies in the miui then a different ROM could potentially help.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] card-us:
up till today the by connection between redmi buds 3 pro & my F3 are gettin worse...it keep dc by it self for no reason at all...don't know why but useless to report to dev, since they never actually fix it (even with capture error code, which it hard to get)

i use other tws (sony xm4) guess what..this goes normal..no dc whatsoever & anc also work perfectly. or rb3p on other brand phone.. somehow this way even normal than on miui itself

guess short solution for me is using my usb c dac+wired iem... for anc just go other brand tws...or not using xiaomi phones
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] kkoolkaran:
Yes. That is right. No solution in sight. Either install a ROM or get rid of Xiaomi. :ROFLMAO:
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ajjdh:
I have solution this issue 😁

Dont worry about.

Just press and hold 2 buds 5 to 10 sec (touch area)-realmeq2 neo

After you heard ring ring sound in your buds.

Once that sound you heard ,its done. Now you goto scan your mobile blutooth, now its much showing blutooth.

Thank You for reading 🙏😊

well, i would be happy with 2nd-hand market, etc but it sounds like it is not common either
[General Questions and Answers] 1444:
Phone manufacturers doesn't do that by default because it will cause a lot of security issues, however you can go to any local phone shop and I assume that they can root your phone for free or maybe for very very cheap

Actually there's no reason to buy a rooted phone why not rooting a phone by yourself? it's quite easy, it doesn't require any experience

[Other SmartWatches] laarSn:
Hello guys, i open this thread as an open discussion about the S999 Smart Watch device which is working great !!

S999 (MTK-6761) maybe branded as:

- Lokmat APPLP Max

- JingTider S999

- BEESCLOVER S999

-...

I was able to get latest SP fLash Tools Firmware from Lokmat Support (V9-regular S999 for all devices) that can also fix imei/device ID...

Here is the link:

4G_H19_S999_EN_V0.9_P_user_20220611

I was able to one-click unlock bootloader using mtk-client (only works for me under Linux, but Windows Version available):

MTK-Client

Also, i played with some GSI ROMS flashed with SP Flash Tools, a lot of them works! But also a lot of them get both of the internal microphone/bluetooth headset activated so this results to an horrible "echo" of my voice during calls. Please someone can fix this?! or give a workaround?

The only rom i found that 100% works (no echo in bluetooth mode, but need to use Firefox for browser video playing) is Corvus OS A12 Official (i'm not an android dev so maybe you guys can found what makes bluetooth headset working with no echo in this rom and not in the others). I don't want to use A12 Rom i would prefer A10 or A11 but with bluetooth working!!!:

GSI ROMS List

Also i tried to port recovery to TWRP with no success, again, maybe you guys can port the recovery to custom one for this device?!

Here is the stock recovery extracted from stock rom above:

S999 Stock Recovery

The Corvus OS Rom is working great on this device, altought you need to pull off the sim card ("OK" button for sim code cannot be reached) on first boot to change DPI size (around 400).

Also after some charge/discharge cycles battery drain seems to be ok (maybe better than stock), but i'm also looking for a good "overlay" file/script to get this device working as best as possible, can someone do that?! (if you need something from stock rom .zip or SP Flash Read Back partitions/files i can provide it...
[Other SmartWatches] kudicini:
Hi, i ve also been playing with the same device. Currently running android 10 via crdrom rom. Works pretty okay although i havent tried out sim card functionality.

However i do have an issue, which im thinking could be hardware or MTK decided to do it, so i wanted to ask you of that also happens to you. So basically on all the roms i have tried out including the stock one, auto rotation doesnt work. Although i see accelerometer values using a sensor test app, but there is a orientation sensor from mtk which is always showing 0 and my autorotation just doesn’t work.

Did you experience the same? Also did you manage to find a trick to use heart rate sensor running custom rom?

Little tip: if you want to have the stock watch faces, you can extract these from the stock rom or in the worst case i can send them to you and then install them on your custom rom. They are essentially just live walpapers.

My setup:

-Crdrom android 10

-Using autogyro to manually change rotation to horizontal

-Microsoft launcher for app drawer, looks great in horizontal mode also

-Installed stock watch faces and set lock mode to none so i get the same functionality as on stock
[Other SmartWatches] TheMixNation:
Hello, are there instructions on how to do this? I just got this watch and would like to see what it can really do. Thanks!

EDIT: Just a quick update...I've installed the MTK-Client for Windows. I now only need to understand how to use it to load an image to the smart watch.

Thanks much!
[Other SmartWatches] TheMixNation:
Another update...I have the USB driver, Python, SP Flash Tool and MTK Client all operational now. I just cannot figure out how to get the watch into BROM mode to be able to connect. Android Development Studio actually does recognize when the device is plugged in but none of the apps seem to be able to read the device. Any suggestions?
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
You can Power Off the Device and start the Application (mtk client or whatever..) and let the Application wait for the Device.

Your Watch must be powered off AND DISCONNECTED FROM PC!!!!

While your Application is waiting for the Device please connect the POWERED OFF Watch to the PC.

This is the same procedure as you are flashing with SP-Flashtool, i asume so.

A Step for Step guide would be very nice and helpfull for "HOW TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER" with MTK-Client.

I do not have one!
[Other SmartWatches] TheMixNation:
Thanks much!

I did get it to connect using the method you described and SP-Flashtool. Too uncertain of what to do next to make any changes. It still doesn't connect to MKT-Client.
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Hmm,

the owner of this Thred might help!

He did it successfully.

I did it with a different Method long time ago....

It´s CM2MT2 and the Dongle for it.

Yes, i payed for, but i love it because it is just working perfect and very simple too.

A simple description in the attachment, but i don´t know if it will help you!?

On what maschine you are working, Windows or Linux?

If Win you like to check the Drivers for the Watch in the Devicemanager of Windows there don´t has to be anywhere a yellow triangle.

If so a Driver is not correct installed. Until the yellow trinagle persists you have to troubleshoot and solve this first!
[Other SmartWatches] TheMixNation:
I'm on Windows...Yeah, already ran into a bit of troubleshooting with getting the Python modules properly installed before I was able to get the to MTK GUI. I am fairly technical and just haven't done this particular thing before; so, am starting from the beginning. My world is mostly PHP/CSS/SQL with some minor dabbling in other aspects. I've loaded images into ROMs before but on routers and such.

Any help is certainly appreciated...I appreciate the information!
[Other SmartWatches] laarSn:
Hi, yes same!

Simply use: Rotation apk
[Other SmartWatches] laarSn:
Maybe you should learn more... there is no "image" to "load" via MTK-client...This tool is only to unlock bootloader. Also please try harder to learn by yourself = every commands and instructions are on the github page of mtk-client.

To flash new rom:

- Unlock Bootloader

- Enable USB Debugging in developper options

- Download and install adb/fastboot drivers and program for windows

- In windows terminal type:

adb reboot bootloader

- Then your device will reboot in fastboot mode

- Type:

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash system nameofyourrom.img

fastboot -w

fastboot reboot

If you can try with a live usb linux (ubuntu or something else)

and

then connected my device...= Instant unlocking

I also experiment trouble to get this device up under windows, go Linux
[Other SmartWatches] laarSn:
Working on it dude! since hovatek community for this device including Russian guys seems dead ill post it here!

But if you read carrefully the Github page to the end, there is all the step by step guide to get this done!
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Hmm it was @TheMixNation who asked something, not me!

Did you realized this?
[Other SmartWatches] TheMixNation:
Thank you for so kindly steering me in the right direction.

I clearly need to learn more - hence the questions and statements indicating that I had not done this particular thing before.

That said, I have spent many hours thus far learning and managing to get the Python install to work on Windows without throwing module not found errors.

I had not indicated that I thought the image was to be installed via one app or the other, just that I had the programs set up and was looking for the correct order to do things in.

While they may not need to be "loaded" via the MTK client, the ROMs are still system "images" that get up"loaded"/written into the device's memory.

View attachment 5828415View attachment 5828417Hi These are some of the screenshots,I actually didnt do any modifications, didnt really have time to play that much with it, initially i ve bought it to use while on work, for teams, but still havent used it, it was actually turned off for the last month or so haha

Anyway, I m using Microsoft Launcher, I find it really great since I can use it in horizontal mode, which is the only natural way of using this device since the width is too small and you re anyway gonna be using it while on wrist (for most stuff). I ve set no lock screen and instead use button to lock/unlock which makes it more similar to smartwatch. The big clock you can see is actually one of the clocks from the original image, since I ve figured out the original clock images on the original image are just live wallpapers, so you can actually use it on your custom rom also, however the multi functional clocks work partially, depending on what you click and also any clock image using heart rate monitor will fail.

If you want heart rate monitor I ve also found one app that actually works on this device, but personally I dont really use it. For the above mentioned problem of horizontal rotation, i am using autogyro app which works pretty well.
