[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Álvaro Cabanelas:
Hi there!

I have an Xperia XZ3 that I have already for 5 years and all of the sudden the main camera decided not to work. I open it and it says that an error occurred and told me to reinitialize the app or the phone.

I tried to reinitialize just the app, cleared cache, forced stop, deactivated it and same result.

I reinitialize the phone and the camera worked (once) and then the second attempt I do to open it, it generates an error again.

I putted the phone into safe mode and got the same result camera works the first time it's opened, and then at second attempt it does not open and generates error

I searched on google and there were some guys of Reddit saying that had "the same" problem and said it was the camera connector that is misplaced due to falls and use. But that would make sense if the camera didn't work at all, even after reinitializing the phone. So I have strong believes that is not a hardware problem. But what do you guys think?

If you agree with me, what do you advise me to do to find what what is the error, and/or the remedy to it. I would like the option of formating the phone to the last thing on the list.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Factory reset if the fails reflash to last known good version.

If that fails it's hardware.

It likely is a hardware failure if the factory reset fails. A loose connector be an easy fix... I'd take it to a good local shop if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Álvaro Cabanelas:
Since the camera every time I restart the phone works the first time I open it, just doesn't seem to be a hardware issue. Does it?

If the only resort is to do a factory reset, I'll do it, I just wanted to know if I checked all the other options
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Have you tried safe mode?

A third-party app may have altered the cam app settings. Malware is a possibility.

Factory reset unless you can work it out.

Do some Google searches for that line of phones and see if you can dredge up more options.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Álvaro Cabanelas:
I said I already tried safe mode but unsuccessfully. It had the same behavior: Worked first time it opened,but never again (unless I restart the phone).

I'll do the reset. Thanks for the help anyway
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
A hard reboot and clearing the system cache (you may not have that option with Sony's) are the only other easy fixes. Do you have any cam updates you can uninstall in the cam app settings? Any related apps that have been updated? Was any major OTA firmware updates done without doing a factory reset?

If you could pull logs and find out why the cam module went offline. No clue to if or where they be. Try the dail up testing utility. Samsung's have it, likely Sony's do too. The cam module may have failed even though it takes one shot.

A loose connector possibly.

You can try Sony tech support, you might get lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] androider101:
My phone is very slow uploading 9 items to 'photosFor more than 16 hours so far. I have access to the internet, if that means anything. There is about 1.3G of RAM available, as well as about 16G of internal storage. All software updates are current. Any help determining what the problem is would be much appreciated. I am willing to bet it is something quite simple.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] blackhawk:
Reboot.

You have an SD card slot... use it as a data drive then simlly back that up.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] androider101:
Thanks, but I'm not sure how that explains why the cell isn't uploading to Google

Photos. This has happened before. What I;d like ti find out is what is causing the problem, and how to permanently avoid it.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] blackhawk:
Google it.

Do a network reset and ask you phone provider to do a reset on their end, reboot.

Is anything disabled, blocked or turned off etc?

What has changed? How long off line and how was it resolved before?

Try clearing the Google app caches and check updates.

Clear system cache.

Go nutz desperate: clear Google data, factory reset.

It's a lot easier not using gookill...
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] androider101:
Googling it wasn't helpful. Tried rebooting. Cleared cache, updates up to date. I agree with your last comment. Maybe somehow disable uploading to GooglePhotos?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] blackhawk:
Isn't Google photos a user uploaded app?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kmahesh:
As an ex-user of blackberry, i am dearly missing the auto on/off on my touch pro. let me explain what this is - just to be sure. With this feature on my BB, I can set the device should turn off (say at night 11PM) and turn on at 8AM in the morning. During this time, it wont accept any calls and no emails nothing. However if there is a meeting invite/alarm earlier than 8AM it would automatically turn on at that time. When it automatically turns back on at 8 AM, it will do all sync-ups.... Can we do the same thing in touch pro?

someone provided some links to profile manager but dont think they do this kind of feature.....

needless to write the disclaimer - i am still a noob on touch pro....

thanks

Updated: It is interesting that none has any interest on this topic - I am surprised a bit. I thought auto on/off is a real neat feature in BB - hmmmmm.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] clausg:
Hi there,

I use a profile manager, PhoneAlarm. It can do A LOT and not only what you mentioned. I use it together with TF3D and it works extremely well.

It needs a bit of reading as it can be customized heavily, but it's worth it in my opinion.

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
1. Because the mentioned tablet has a USB 2.0 port you can try to install Windows 10 32-bit on it ...

2. IMO it makes no sense to waste time into this project this because of

Too little hardware resources:

The Asus TX201LAF - what is a 32-bit device - likely has limited RAM , harddisk space and processing power compared to a typical Windows PC - e.g. Windows 10 32-bit version to smoothly run requires 4 GB RAM and 16 GB harddisk space.

Driver incompatibility:

Windows drivers likely won't work on Asus TX201LAF hardware. These drivers are essential for smooth operation of the tablet's components like camera, Wi-Fi, etc. Without compatible drivers, these components might not function or malfunction.

Installation complexity:

Modifying the bootloader and partitions on your tablet to install Windows x86 is a risky process that requires advanced knowledge. If done incorrectly, it could brick your tablet, rendering it unusable.

Performance issues:

Even if you manage to install Windows x86, it might run slow on your tablet.. This could lead to a sluggish performance.
[General Questions and Answers] Rudek2k06:
How about Windows 8.1 or older?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Why not query the required specs at your own?

BTW:

Check your tablet's manual or the manufacturer's website for instructions on installing an operating system. They might have specific tools or driver packs to ease the process.
[General Questions and Answers] Rudek2k06:
Tablet Specs: https://icecat.in/p/vendorName/mpn/desc-24351125.html

I Didn't find anything about that in manual. And I think that Windows 8 would run OK, on this.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
I never replaced Android OS by Windows OS: the reasons why I told you above. Hence I can't guide you.

I no longer participate this thread: I quit.

May be @IsHacker can direct you. At least I hope so.

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] IsHacker:
You need to port UEFI to the tablet to be able to boot Windows, which can be flashed in the form of a boot.img. There isn't any guide to do this as no one had done this before on Intel atom CPUs. There is Renegade Project which lets you install the ARM version of Windows on android devices, but it's only for Qualcomm-based devices. Also don't follow any instructions from a stupid AI bot, there's many wrong things it has told you, like "copying all the contents of the windows ISO to the root of the USB drive" to make it bootable. Windows ISOs need a special process to be made bootable. Also, android devices usually CAN'T boot from external SD cards or OTG drives.
[General Questions and Answers] Rudek2k06:
OK, thanks for your reply!
[Xiaomi Redmi 13C (4G) / Poco C65] problemathic:
If youre also one of those unlucky guys who is stuck on TWRP after flashing then this guide here is for you. Carefully read the instruction to fix it.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] BURN6:
Hi, after the previous may and unfortunatly even last june security update my S24Ultra does not meet the security standards for useing google wallet.

No root or anything like that, latest software, latest google play services and play store shows it is certified.

I didn't want to but I backed up everything and did a factory reset but nothing helps!

Is there anyone else who is struggling with the same thing.... I'm desperate.......

Following your post I checked the security date and it was May, so I updated and checked if I had the same problem and everything is ok.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] devaponnadsm:
Your bootloader seems to be unlocked. Check Knox Status. Or turn on developer options and check what OEM Unlocking says.

OEM Unlocking shows that bootloader is not unlocked :-/

Ok mom I'll try, thank you so much. 🤪

Then its just a glitch. Clear cache of Google Play Services and reboot. It should resolve within a day.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] OmiGujjar:
If your S24 Ultra doesn't meet Google Wallet security standards despite updates and a factory reset, try these steps:

Clear cache for Google Play Services and Google Wallet.

Uninstall and reinstall Google Wallet.

Reach out to Google Support or your device manufacturer for assistance.

Others may face this issue too; checking forums might help.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NOSS8:
You say you backed up the data and did a factory reset, but did you try Wallet before restoring it?

I don't use this payment method but I tested it and no errors.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] BURN6:
Yes I tried Wallet before restoring my data.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NOSS8:
Delete data from Google/play/store/etc ..apps and reboot then check if there are any updates on the play store or security.

Sometimes you have to wait a few days for it to work.

my tablet seems to be outdated so i need a new one
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] DavidMcalister:
Hello everyone,

Is it possible to downgrade my phone from Android 9 to Android 7?

Unfortunately, my bootloader binary is 4, and there is no Nougat or Oreo firmware for it.

I checked the SWREV in download mode: RP SWREV: B:4 K:1 S:2

Can I still downgrade without the BL file in Odin?

I would prefer not to trip Knox.

Any help is appreciated!
[Shield Tablet General] tM&M:
There is also a console like mode you can use with the unofficial Lineage 15.1: LinageOS 15.1 w/ OMX

I also recommend you set your brightness to minimum in fixed mode, so the battery doesn't drain.

You can easily jump to tablet mode again if you then tap 'Auto' brightness.

Requisites

Mostly you just need 'Purr' from the Play Store and ADB:

Install the Purr resolution change app,

Add permissions for Purr through ADB (does not need root!)

Create a saved resolution that is good for your TV/Monitor (I use 1080x1920),

Disable resolution check in Purr settings.

This way you can play fullscreen on the TV. I've found that the Shield Tablet is good for:

Dead Cells Netflix (ok-ish perf, better with two cores),

SEGA Games, which have controller support,

Sonic fan games like Triple Trouble and Time Twisted,

RetroArch - older gen, Saturn, PS1, Dreamcast,

Flycast standalone (download from github), can do 1440x1080 some games, GPU limited ones should run 1280x960. The standalone supports analog triggers.

PPSSPP can run some of the heaviest games with frame drops, still above 30fps. I think 720p, not sure.

Steam Link has some issues with network latency but I've had it work fine at 720p streaming.

If you have a standard controller, you can use 'Select' to unlock the screen and navigate. Have not tried USB or most modern controllers but there should be a way to use 'home' on most controllers. I have used the Ouya Controller, which has a touchpad, as explained below.

Ouya Controller Layouts

Default Android does not have a layout file for Ouya Controllers like the Ouya ROM, so it does not work on the Shield or most Android TVs. All keys are misconfigured and dead zones cause issues with stuff like Steam Link or RetroArch.

Download the Ouya Controller Key Layout file: Vendor_2836_Product_0001.kl

Boot to recovery, mount /system and enter 'adb shell'. Then use ADB to push this file:

adb push (YOUR_DIRECTORY)/*.kl /system/usr/keylayout/

This will make keys match Xbox controller, though there are some issues to still figure out regarding the massive left trigger dead zone. (25%)

Take note that the 'U' home button has various modes, short and long press. You activate with long press if unpaired, BT pair with very long press until two lights blink.

After being synced, we can use both short and long presses. Short press is now mapped to 'SELECT', which wakes and unlocks the screen. Long press is 'START', which only actives after you depress the button.

The short press fails to register a lot but when mapped to SELECT on software, works without fail. Don't know the reason so the key layout file is mapped this way but I'm still testing what is better.

Also need to tune dead zones on the KL file. Some software will allow you to set this but it is not ideal given that both controllers I have register the same massive dead zone on the left trigger and some noise on analog sticks.

A: This theme is pretty much all buttons. While on the main page you can slide your finger from bottom to top to bring up the apps page and from top to bottom to return to main page. While on the apps page you can also slide right to left to see the seond apps page

I can't slide the page.

n0ot sure why not. when on the main page just place finger on screen and slide. you have to put a little pressure. you can check the gesture by going into author mode and then tap/hold and select page>properties. then check and see if your gestures are there.

Custom recoveries like PBRP, TWRP and orangefox are available for this phone. But if you want to compile a custom ROM, you need a LOT of knowledge on it. Secondly, you need to have a really high-speced PC (atleast 64 GB RAM and 6 CPU cores). You probably won't be able to do it.
