Xperia Z3+ Nougat Review.....

:fingers-crossed::laugh:
YouTube Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjR2PxJmcsk

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THIS ANDROID 7 ON Z3+.
Advantages..
1. Battery is lasting more than MM.
2. Stamina mode comes with 3 level stamina features.
3. Split Screen Apps are awesome.
4. Heating is less, I think they avhieved that by closing the background apps.
5.Camera app doesnt heatup the phone and lasts open till 5 min( I checked for 5 minutes only may be it ll show heating warning after that, I just dont know about it).
6. Now both the wallpaper and lockscreen can be handled easily with the same option WALLPAPER provided at SETTING app.
Disadvantages.
1. The Icons for the apps CONTACTS, MESSAGING, PHONE, CAMERA are so ugly.
2. One cannot go to the homepage by clicking recent navbar and then by clicking at the clear space of the recent apps menu.
3. While phone is locked the phone doesnt react to double tap unlock like it used to be in MM.
4. While the phone is locked the Icons of battery, network, clock etc are placed slightly lower than the Icons placed in the unlocked screen. LOCKING UNLOCKING CREATES AN UGLY LOOK OF MISPLACEMENT OF THESE ICONS.
5. The Battery icon in the status bar is too weird. ( Doesnt like it look).
6. The Data traffic indicator ( the small arrows up and down are way too small, the indicator which shows below 2g, 3g, H+ and LTE on the status bar)
7. They removed the option of selecting the FOCUS MODE in the camera app.
8. I compared the pictures taken by my phone when its in LP, MM AND N, I must say in LP this phone used to capture photos brilliantly, in MM the pics are somewhat lower than LP. But in N the pics quality are not upto marks. I think thats all because of this focus thing. Now the phone focus the way it wants to).
9. Remove/ Quit apps wisely, I am downloading some apps from UC BROWSER and then I exit the app and keep the downloading in the background but when I cleared the app from the recent apps list just to make my recent app section to look empty, it stopped my downloading too and the APP UC BROWSER was completely shut. (This option is in LP TOO BUT NOT IN MM) So close apps wisely.
11. They abandoned the small apps, Yes they are there but not easily accessible, now accessing small apps are quit pain in the ASS.
12. The apps in the Recent apps looks very big.
13. New quick tiles are good but one cannot direct shut data from there.
Thats all dear Fellas, I like the UI OF MM more than this N.
I THINK SONY JUST BAKED THIS N FOR US IN HURRY.
If I missed anything than please guys you can add that on your comments.

I really think the Android N update is very good for this device. Camera quality has improved in N - try some low light shots - noise is much lower. The UI is very fluid.

For my device not update notice for now...but I see that in Russia update is out in these days...
So, for now I can't comment about N on my Z3+...but thank you very much for this thread...I hope more users tell opinions about this new update...
I would like to learn more about:
- camera is more fast or not, compared to MM? About picture quality seems the two different opinions are contrary..so, other user opinion about camera?
- N as it looks in terms of reactivity on our device?
- Audio? From speakers and in headset? There are some new optimizations or similar?
Thanks in advance to all

I checked xpericheck and Ru customisation and in ARENT THERE! They delete it or what?

Hope that removed for the reasons you've mentioned :fingers-crossed:

Using Nougat Indian Firmware
Advantages-
1. Camera quality is better
2. Split screen
3. Smooth Ui
4. Performance Enhancment
5. Battery backup improved
6. Brightness dim Issue in sunlight is fixed upto great extent
7. Heating issue is much more solved
Disadvantages ( Huge list but Listing major one)
1. Touch issue (Lackness in touch sensitivity)
2. No manual Focus in Camera Menu
3. Sound Quality reduced (Vibrations in back panel)
4. Can't download apps frome playstore in Roaming.
5. Now we have to double tap to activate data from notification bar
So, its better to push updates for fixing these problems. I hope sony would release updates.

Number 4 and 5 from @ag_themes list are customisation dependent. Both are not present in Russian Nougat that also was on servers before withdrawal.
Also I don't have any touch issues. The sound problems mentioned are the main reason of update withdrawal.
Btw. No overheating is probably connected with reduced usage of a57 cores. Nougat uses them rarely comparing to marshmallow (some report says they are disabled in nougat).

Can someone upload Russian fw? I want to flash it

Using Android Nougat on India Version
Split Screen is advantage (but not many app support however you can force them to)
Slightly more responsive ( like 5 percent)
camera is same (with an added option in manual mode)
audio is also similar
i feel battery consumption when device is used is same ( maybe doze helps when phone is in sleep but i didnt notice much improvement)
My device hanged once (in youtube app). Restarted itself after 5 mins.
Indirect access to small apps ( i never really used them)
{
Other things such as detailed (two taps to toggle) mobile data , wifi and bluetooth. Displays important things on settings , NOtification quick reply these are android N features sony didnt mess with
}
I feel its an simple upgrade of API . Everything else is similar to MM.

HELP

Is your phone is ringing on calls? Mine doesnt ringing from the day I updated to nougat.

Yes it is.
Make sure you have applied a ringtone and its not in Do Not Disturb mode.

HELLO PRASHAD, I HEARD YOU GET ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING BL? Some guy is spreading that news. Is it true?

Nope, not true. With out bootloader unlock, it is impossible to root the device.
IOVYROOT will get temp root access to backup the TA Partition, but after reboot, the device loses the root access. It is only for taking backup, you can not modify the system. If you try to modify the system with temp root access, your device will be dead after reboot.

[Bugs fix] Getting bugs fix on khongloi S8 port [V7][Updated 30 April][Panorama fix]

Hi guys
I wrote this post to getting have a fully stable Rom with khongloi Rom with your helping
Very thanks to Mr @khongloi113 to his hardworking on it.
[2017/04/27] Updated with Khongloi V7 Rom​
Now after surfing the Rom V7 by @khongloi113 these are all of bugs i found please tell me to add an other bug if there is an other one on your device to solve it by developers help
1.Camera Modes and features:​
Actually i seems Mr @khongloi113 ported New S8 camera so there are some problem on it and there was not these problems on previous Camera S8 ported!
A.Some camera modes are not working on V7 s8 camera despite they was working on V6 !!!
Panorama Mode gives FC [It was working on V6/V5/V4/.../V1] and Video collage mode does not work (on S8 camera i testedstill unsolved

4.Some AOD features still not working​
A.some AOD(Always on display) feature modes not working yet!
such as one of analog clock (first one it may be useful to use)
it is working on S7/S7edge ported AOD, if you can give a way to get it on this Rom please tell me
B.S8 ported AOD cannot show pinned memo On screen off memo(So S8 does not have S-pen and it does not need to this feature and i think it cannot fix cause it is normal and we should wait for Note 8 ported AOD
C.AOD touch not working fully here!it refers to firs kernel ported for touch working on off-screen (AOD) and if you can please check service.jar on framework on system is.(AOD notification and face widget only work with one click well it eats more battery and after some times on deep sleep it does not work)
D.AOD moving(S8 AOD i think do not move at all but S7/S7edge AOD was moving thought the screen)
may it is not a bug but it will be burn you Amoled screen(be careful:silly
5.You cannot change Network mode correctly on dual sim devices​you cannot change Network mode SIM2 from mobile networks on connections on setting!
6.Finger sensor gestures not working​
S8/S8+ have an other finger printer sensor and it can be useful to use for swiping up or down on finger print sensor to open or close the notification panel on it, but it is not working on Note5 puted on Advanced features.
7.Samsung notes crash​After saving and writing on this apk it gives force close and get our from applications (need to fix)
8.Position of Navigation bar is not true now​
In V6 of this Rom Mr @khongloi113 added navigation bar customization on his KHONGLOI_CONTROL but now it does not stay on true location on down the screen on v7 now!
So you cannot access to controlling some features such as camera helping show passing!(need fix by main developer)
9.Wifi calling not working on some csc chose!​
When you choose t-moblie /india csc this mode does not work and if you use another csc when you are installing Rom stress measuring cannot measure!
10.Some system apps give fc after closing from them​
Some times some system apps after closing from them give force close and stopping notice!this is for that this Rom is not stable Unlike last released Rom(V6).
11.Bixby vision gives fail after update it​On last released Rom (v6) bixby vision was working prefectly but now has samo problem with it and also it cannot search images we chose them!

I am testing now i will add other bugs after fully surfing and put these here
if you have another bug tell me to add here please
Tested 95%
V6 bugs:​
And they are not mentioned bugs on khongloi v6 Rom post:
defineded bugs and lacks on this Rom:
1.AOD feature
After some times we saw a big change on Note5 develop Roms and features and one important from these feature and changes is AOD porting from Note7 and A8 by Nemisess kernel at first!
Now it changed so and many bugs of them solved such as:
A.AOD touch [duble top] (it not fully fixed but now we can access it by once click on notification
(At right it is duble click no one click))
B.AOD brightness (it was not working at first and it adjusted only on one state of brightness but now we have some Roms by setting it custome or setting it on 2 state and Automatic)
C.AOD Analog clock (on this Rom AOD's one analog clock does not show clock and it is first one there is this screen shot under)
D.AOD does not move! (On Gakaxy s7/s7 edge and also S8 samsung used from S-AMOLED Display and if some pixels be on on this display it nay be burn and it is dangerous! So unfortunately there is no Rom or kernel with porting it with moving but on s7/s7 edge and other device with porting AOD this feature moving on screen avery two minutes or more)
E.AOD eats more battery (on the Galaxy S7/S7 edge AOD uses 1.5 per hour well we know they have better battery than Note5 (3600 for s7 edge and 300 for s7 and Note5) but Note5 eats battery more than that we expect it) for example with Note 5 AOD on and touch setting On and finger printer scanner away it uses 25% per about 8 hours and it is so much!
F.Screen off memo does no show on off screen
On the Galaxy S8 there is no S-pen and also screen-off memo feature well we cannot save and pin a writing thing by s-pen on it. I guess we should get back to Note7 port Always On display for solving this problem .
please help and say how can we get back to it?
G.If there is other bugs on AOD tell me please to add them.
2.Camera features
S8 camera is working perfectly and all its modes and features also except:
A.S8 selfie effects such as animals face and parts of them not working
(Galaxy s8 has irus sensor and face detection and they are working with it i think they wont fix cause it is a Hardware problem)
B.There is no fast motion mode so we can transfer Note 5 surrounf shot mode from its Gapaxy apps but we cannot add fast motion mode on it(Solved by @khongloi113 => Go to khongloi port v7 official page on note5 android developer and find it on addons)
(I shared surround shot mode link you can download and install it as normal apk and use it)
C.Some users reported s8 camera captures noisly picture on note5 and also s6 Edge plus
D.is there an other bug tell me to add it please
3.Sim cards bugs
If you use from dual sims you may have this bug:
A.You cannot choose network mode easily so some times it is not working and some time it is wirking late
4.Some Applications dont ported from s8 such as S8 internet (Solved)
This problem solved
So you can get Galaxy apps and install wich application do you want
5.Battery charging show on phone off(solved)
You can see this under but when phone powered off charging does not show correctly on display
6.Smart view bug and TV controlling does not show movie
some users reported this feature does not work on V6 khongloi Rom with v6 kernel (I will check it out soon and report)
is there a fix please share to put it here.
7.S-health stress measuring disabled(Solved)
NO any kernel and fix for this problem so you can uninstall your Samsung health apk and install newest version on Google play or Galaxy apps and between them you should restart and reinstall you Rom with Dirty-Wipe and then install new s-health
if you did not get result you can get back to Official nougat Rom and try s-health with it and then install Custom Rom.
7.Some apps such as Social applications and Samsung Notes give force Close on v6
On v7 i will test
There are other bugs?!?
Please Tell me to add them.
How can we solve these problems and screenshots about them:
1.AOD Features:
There is no fix for AOD problems yet but i hope these feature will fix soon.(may this problem comes from (services.jar) and it need to fix again)
2.Camera fetures
For surround shot you can downlaod it from here and install it as normal apk amd enjoy it
3.Sim cards
No fixed yet
4.Some Applications dont ported from s8 such as S8 internet
So you can get Galaxy apps and install wich application do you want
If you have this application official ported s8 you can share link to put it here(tnks)
5.Battery charging show on turned off device
Fix it from this link:here

Changes in Android O - with screenshots

I got the Android O for my Samsung Galaxy tab S3 here in india. Update size is around 1123 MB.
New features are
1. Experience 9
2. Doldy Atmos enhancements
3. New options to play sound of a particular app on a particular device. Ex : if u have connected a Bluetooth speaker, now u have the ability to select only YouTube audio to be played on Bluetooth speaker.
4. Live messages
5. New notification icons and app icons( I guess part of experience 9 home)
6. Multiple clock faces and colours for clock in lock screen.

That's the S9/S9+ wallpaper. Is that on the device after Oreo or did you put it on your tablet? And if it comes with Oreo is it live like on the S series?

Are there themes? I really really want to have black theme all over instead of blinding white

Well this is my experience:
-Changes mentioned by kmdshoyaib in op
-No themes of course (and i wasn't expecting that)
-The overall experience is smoother than nougat but I have to say many lags and delays specially in samsumg keyboard, and third party apps menus are still there (I did a clean install and factory reset)
-I feel a better response time to S-pen (maybe a placebo effect)
-Other things including batter life needs more time!

Live messages is now available on Tab S3 oreo.
Other than that, I feel the tablet way more responsive now. Reacts faster when playing around with different apps.
Samsung Pass now requries secure screen lock to work with autofill of usernames and passwords. Fingerprint is still a must with Samsung Pass, but in addtion a screen lock also is needed.

I got it yest night in India too. agree with all the above comments, but disappointed by 1 thing; no change in the SNote/Samsung Notes fiasco
The Dolby Atmos is awesome. I played a song in the dead of the night and, mighty impressed with the improvement. The output from the speakers also had improved. Good thing the AKG speakers have been used and getting a good workout!

Greetings from India, received Oreo update today, and now tab s3 supports VOLTE. Jio VOLTE calls are working now.

And battery life is better?

Supports it adoptable storage or do I have to hack again?

Well that is just the static wallpaper I downloaded from Android authority.com
It would have been a charm if Samsung included s9 live wallpapers with the update

Greetings from China...
The s pen translate app also got an update and now it works just like galaxy note 8.
It can translate from Chinese and Japanese now. It can also translate sentences and currency.

My tablet is currently in for repair so have not had a chance to look at the update personally only watched some videos on YouTube about it I was wondering if anyone could have a look and find out if there's a way to change the resolution to save power yet as I do a lot of typing and office work on my tablet and I was looking for a way to down the resolution to 720 p to save a ton of power and was wondering if this has been added with the Oreo update.

Maybe it's because I am a brand new Tab S3 user and updated almost immediately. But all the apps in Play Store that I already paid for are showing up as unpaid. Here is my post about it. Help is appreciated!

Battery life has been fine for me since I got the update yesterday.

Live messages is now available on Tab S3 oreo.
Other than that, I feel the tablet way more responsive now. Reacts faster when playing around with different apps.
Samsung Pass now requries secure screen lock to work with autofill of usernames and passwords. Fingerprint is still a must with Samsung Pass, but in addtion a screen lock also is needed.

Updated last night. The process was easy and error free. The changes are really minor, not anything to write home about. In any case, as Android matures, I would not expect substantial changes from one version to a newer one.

Try to login on a pc to your google account to validate the issue.
On your tab, try to wipe cache, following this steps:
1. Turn off your tab.
2. After that press and hold the Volume Up + Home + Power button for a couple of seconds.
3. Now you should be in the expected mode.
4. You can navigate here by using Volume buttons and select options "wipe cache" by using the Power key.
If this solve your issue don´t forget leave feedback to help other mates.

Features Needed in Max Pro

Hello everyone,
Max Pro M1 is the best VFM device in India right now .
It ticks mostly all the features one need, but still misses some of the features which are mentioned below:
1. SWIPE GESTURES for navigation.
2. SLOW MOTION video (480fps , sorry for being greedy).
3. Samsung like GAME TOOL.
4. Support for LIVE WALLPAPERS.
5. CAMERA2API ENABLED by default.
6. FAST CHARGING.
7. And even RAM MANAGEMENT needs some alteration.
In 3gb version only 900mb RAM is free (no apps running in background).
If somebody can help me out to achieve these features , I'll be really great full (and many others too).
Some apps that right now I am using to personalise my mobile
1. Nova launcher prime
2. Navbar Animation (a must try)
3. Zooper Widget
4. NOKIA camera apk (for stabilized videos)

Navigation Gestures - XDA will help in this. Currently it does not hide navbar in our device (read 2nd question in FAQ) . Next version is expected to fix this.
Not probably possible without camera2api. For this you need ROOT.
You can use Kernel Auditor (ROOT) and use Performance mode.
Live wallpaper support was present till v252. It is broken in latest update (v305), it should be fixed on next OTA. I reported on Zentalk - Issue report.
Need ROOT for this, Asus will not enable it. Comments on zentalk here.
Better to have it as it is now. Fast cahrging is stressful for the battery.
Did you face lag in the device. If not then do not stress about free memory. Let device use all available memory to give smooth performance.
You can ROOT and flash OTA but the process is lengthy. Guide for this is here.

1. I have read that thread , and eagerly waiting for the updated version.
2. Did anyone try Slow motion after rooting? I wasn't able to find anywhere regarding it.
3. I was hoping to find a some hacked apk of Samsung GAME TOOLS. Foolish me:silly:
4. CAMERA2API, hope Asus makes their stock app better then.
5. FAST CHARGING, True that! But atleast they should enable it till 60% of battery charge.
6. Really!? Because I thought it is hindering gaming experience. I play Rules of Survival and it becomes laggy if I don't clear the RAM (going to developer option -> memory -> force stopping google, as it is utilising around 700mb of RAM)
7. I am trying to avoid rooting , but seeing the benefits I may do it soon.
Thanks for your well explanatory reply. :good:

The thing I'm missing the most is Ambient Display...hope Asus includes it in future updates...

I think most of the OEM follow one or the other out of Ambient display and LED (except Xiaomi).
So not expecting Ambient display ... IMHO.

Android 11 Beta

Hello,
I have the option to download the official Beta Android R (RPB1.200504.18).
My Pixel 4 phone is my daily phone, just like to ask, if its worth downloading this beta version.
I know it will not be stable and may be a bit flaky, but will my phone be useable if I do?
Thanks

Been using it since day 1, no major issues here . Working flawlessly, except for Qnap apps that all crash besides the Qfile app.
One thing that sucks about Android 11 is that you can no longer hide the nav bar..

Anyone with a working solution, adb command is welcomed

Thanks, I've downloaded it and I'm having a play with it. One immediate thing I notice missing is the Screenshot option when long pressing the power button.
The icons are along the top instead of down the side (which I think was better), so how do I take a screenshot now ?

My wife had the same question when I updated her pixel 3 to this latest android 11 beta
Normally you can take the screenshot as on any other android - hold down volume down + power button and vollaaaa!
New way to do it also is by swiping up from the bottom and holding, and the besides the switch between apps option will appear you will also see Screenshot, Select, Share options underneath it

Yeh I get the old fashioned way, holding power and volume keys. Why on earth have they taken the very handy button that popped up when long pressing the power button !!!
As for your swiping up option, that doesn't work at all on my phone !!

Swiping up from the bottom and letting go works on my 4XL but only when in an app. If you are on the launcher i think its the old fashioned way. This is standard google to take away things we use!

Just received another beta update (RPB1.200504.020), 8.23MB

I'm able to set Shell as the default Home (Launcher App). What can I do to utilize this?

I'm loving the beta but I've found that when the pop-up asking you to chose what app to open something with, I only get two options: the recommended app and a second one and no list of apps that were being shown in android 10. It's really frustrating when you can't choose the correct app because it isn't listed. For example, what if you want to open the link in the app but you only see two web browsers? I use deampify to strip off the Google AMP part of the URL so I can open a link in the website's app such as CNN or The Washington post. That means if deampify doesn't show up then there is no way to chose it like I could in android 10. Another example is if you get an attachment in an email and you might want to open it in one of several apps such as Adobe Lightroom if you're going to edit it, Google Photos if you're saving it, Dropbox if you're sharing it with your family, Instagram if you're posting it, and what's app if you're sharing with a single friend? See how this can easily be an issue? Anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix?

I used the first official beta release for about a week, here's what I found:
* Good enough for a daily driver, if you don't mind a few hick-ups or manually restarting your phone every once in a while
* Slightly slower launching apps
* Audio quality from phone speakers was no where near as good (sounded thin and boxy), and not as loud.
* Camera would black-screen on me about every 4th launch and I'd need to force stop the camera
* Camera app always warned me it was too hot to preform certain advanced features
* Boot-up, not a big deal, but took about 6 times longer to start back up.
* I liked the notifications on the pull-down better. Not a huge change, but noticeable
* LOVED the screenshot edit pop up after every one (does more than Android 10 does). This was one thing I missed the most when I switched from a Samsung S10+ to Google.
The audio quality and camera were just too much for me to handle right now, so I went back to Android 10 for now. I may try beta 2 when it comes out?

Using Beta 2 right now, no issues at all, device is smoother than ever and battery lasts longer about 36 hours with medium usage getting 3.5h SOT

I haven't been having battery luck. On beta 2 I get about 1.5 hours. Of screen on time. Phone doesn't go to sleep at all. Same with Android 10. I have to go back to using naptime.
I don't have motion sense on or aod display.
