Hello guys,
Lately my Xperia M2 is good with wall chargers. The problem is when i connect it to usb charging, the phone lights up, charging starts. I can even see my phone connected. But after few minutes charging stops.
All the drivers are installed.
What could be the problem?
Try to go to Settings/Xperia Connectivity/USB Connection (or whatever they are in English). Disable "Install software" and select MTP.
I dunno. When I had just bought the phone I couldn't charge it from my Mac either (so no drivers related). messing with those parameters fixed it.
I did the same thing. Actually it's my setting since I connected my phone for the first time. Recently I've been using Xposed Xperia by Serajr. Encountered a couple of hiccups here and there. It has extra quick settings in which you can add a quick toggle to change mtp to msc and vice versa. Although it doesn't actually work. When i hold that toggle and menu opens, boom it's working.
Do you think this error might be because of this?

Disable Xposed, reboot, try. It's very possible it's Xposed fault. I'm not using Xposed coz it makes more trouble than good, and usually you can make all modification on your own.

I uninstalled GravityBox. Since then my phone is working pretty fast. You might be right about xposed. But what modifications can i make on my own?

Everything that can be done with Xposed. I added reboot option in power menu, center clock, change colors etc. It's not that easy like with Xposed, but much safer and better.

And how did you do it? A little guideline would be good.

I'd love to know about it as well. Also, any chance to get the quick settings in the top row of the notification panel without using Xposed?
@Vtrendzzy
For centering the clock see here, search is your friend here, you'll find all kind of tuts for doing anything
@Miche1asso
You probably need to edit some layout in SystemUI but I haven't got time to play with M2 lately. I'll have a look
Ahhh! So you mean to decompile the apk, modify some XML files, recompile and stuff like that?
Thanks, but no, thanks. I made a theme and just to change the text colors in the XML files drove me mad.

Lol!! I was like that, but when you get familiar with it and learn some what is what it's interesting. The most pain in the a**for me was FB Messenger (i was inverting it) and now i have Blac FB Messenger . I'm not an expert but if you need any help shot me a PM.

don't enable all functions of gravity box try on by one and figure it out which function making problem
This is why rom developers advise not to use xposed at all. The modules are unstable at best and can mess things up randomly

did that, seems to be be the app itself causing it.
anyway which model do you own? it seems to me gravity box is not compatible for your phone's version
Well , everytime when i press the middle button my wallpaper gets really big and i have to set it again everytime, it`s pretty annyoing.That problem accured when i tried the ''Easy start'' and i didn`t like it then i switch to the normal Xperia Home . Restarting doesn`t fix the problem.
How can i fix it ?
Did you try uninstalling Easy Start? I am not sure if it is the same one, but I had a launcher that was still messing up after switching back to the Xperia Home. Uninstalling it fixed the troubles.

How was it in your phone already? Did you buy it second hand? I've got only Xperia Home and Simple Home.
Anyway, to uninstall it you should be able to find the icon in the Xperia Home's drawer. From there select Uninstall from the left panel and click on the X on "Easy Start" icon.

I think simple and Easy start are the same things just a bit different names...On mine says easy and it`s brand new not second hand.
Go to: Settings->Home and select Xperia Launcher. Now for zooming, go to Accessibility and disable Magnification gesture. Hope that fix your problem

Been trying for two days to fix this 'feature' but they have changed the file position of the code and am having trouble finding it. Oh well at least I've learnt everything I ever wanted to know about decompiling/ recompiling . lol
I'm gonna try again in a few days once my sister has gone home as this is the first time in a year I've seen her in a year.
Wish me luck
i'm also looking for a way to disable increasing ring tone , also find it very annoying .
Try headset button controller
Not sure if this is actually a fix but just did some quick informal testing and seems to work: install app headset button controller and under advanced options set the default volume when plugging in headphones to 65% or above. If someone else can verify this it would be awesome.

Good try but when plugging my headphone in with this active, the device notices the volume change and the warning comes straight up.
Thanks anyway.
Ah yes, after I rebooted and plugged in I got the warning. However it seems to only be an issue the first time after reboot, then looks like it's good to go. Just don't reboot
Not sure if it applies to this phone as I sport note 4 and am only browsing, but in absence of xposed mod, I use tasker. Also free app 'hearing saver' from play store works for me.
Note 4 ?

I've already tried this. Needs smali edit. But I've been unable to find the code for this function.
edgarf28 has managed to accomplish this in his ROM and I have requested a point in the right direction or even a flashable version (bit cheeky I know) he has also managed to incorporate 5 way reboot that I would really like help with to. Might have to go and beg him again .lol

the reason he is able to do it is because his rom is de-odexed or whatever... we arent... that is why he can have it

I already did this it seem to ho quite smoothly but still having problems with getting 5 way and disabling safe volume.
Just need a bit of help to finish getting my device perfect.
Problem is theres not much ROM deving on 925f at the moment. I know this will pick up. I'm just impatient
I've been searching everywhere for a way to disable this volume warning. Has anyone figure it out and posted instructions? I see it in a couple custom ROMs but I haven't found how it is done.

I've simply flashed the alliance ROM. Very happy
In general, this issue still bothers me. At least in my car, in which I use an auxilliary cord, I've an NFC tag programmed to open Spotify and turn media volume all the way up using NFC Tasks/Tools. At least for me, this works to get past the warning initially, and is useful when I need to unplug then plug back in.
I would love to see a general fix that doesn't require rooting my phone; that sanctimonious popup drives me bonkers.
If youll go to the music player on your phone. Click settings, then click smart volume on. Try it out. Works for me on my s6

This works... How easy was that!
sweeet! good work-around man! way better than using roms or rooting the sucker.
On my N5 the display keeps off when plugin / remove the charger (qi and ac).
Is there something similar possible for the S7?
I have root and xposed. I see something in "secure+" but it seems not to work.
No one bothered about this?
Tried an old xposed module. Wasn't working. Found an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.mudar.snoozy but it had the issue with the latest update about the smartlock killed and you had to put in the pin like after the reboot, no fingerprint unlock...
I bother! Just HATE this annoying feature.
I wished it could be removed too
I will have to investigate on how to install xposed too... (I still find it too risky for my S7)

Doesn't bother me at all. If I'm picking the phone up off the charger, I probably want to check what's happened while it was charging. Lighting the screen when starting charging doesn't really matter either way. It goes off in a few seconds.
So my device is now rooted and running magisk + xposed. I haven't installed many modules yet, just viper4androidFX, VOLTE, and gravity box. I also switched my launcher back to my good old comfortable sense 9 launcher. Works almost perfect, I am getting HTC service pack FC every so often, but I can live with that for now if it lets me use the launcher I want.
Anyway, there are a couple tweaks I'd like to make that I had on my old phone, but I can't use the same sense based xposed modules so I was wondering if anyone knew of any xposed or magisk modules, or some other method to achieve these mods on the ROG.
1. change Icon shape/size as by default, the top of the circle shape gets cut off on the homescreen. Changing size under display settings fixes this, but then I find some things TOO small
2. Make status bar always opaque black with white icons
3. change battery icon (I have a pack I want to install in PNG format) - I've done the systemui.apk method in lollipop, can anyone tell me if this is the only currently working method?
After this the only thing I want to do is fix the force close and take a nanodroid backup in twrp (when its officially available for .48 or later fw)
Thanks in advance!
Regarding point one the only thing I can think of is using Nova launcher. Here you can change the size of the icons on the homescreen, their style aswell as their labels.
The only easy way I know of to change the battery icon is with Gravitybox.
Which options did you activate in Gravitybox?
If I try modding the statusbar or navbar I'm getting a ton of force closes from SystemUI or the screen stays black after a reboot. Which I suppose is a compatibility error given that this isn't exactly AOSP.

Well I fixed the icons getting cut off by setting a custom dpi thats sort of in between small and default. Looks okay I guess, not a huge fan of the circle icon but at least its not cut off.
in gravitybox I changed these settings:
power button torch
torch timeout set to 30 mins
increase volume steps
increased AM/PM scaling to 75%
changed 4g to LTE
allow all rotations
some settings would cause the same black screen you mentioned, in which case I would reboot to safe mode, clear the app data, reboot and try new settings until it worked. I'm not sure which setting exactly causes this but most of them still do work. I am able to change the battery icon in gravitybox also, but I don't really love what they have so I left it off. Maybe if they allowed percent only, or if you could change the font and position of "battery text". Theirs is too bold for me and not in the right spot.
Its too bad no one else seems to want a static status bar. Always black looks so nice IMO and no modules that support past lollipop offer such a thing :/
Were you able to make much improvement in the sound quality with Viper? From what I've read and heard, the speakers are loud but lacking quality.
What is your impression of the cameras? Any interest in trying gCam?
Not sure who your carrier is but does the VoLTE module work for you? Literally the only thing preventing me from using my phone as a daily driver is VoLTE and WiFi calling (no cell signal at work unfortunately). But would like some feedback before I go down this path myself.

Haven't tested it yet, but the module itself installs and causes no problems of its own. I'll definitely let you know next time I get a call!
(PS Im on Bell in Ontario which from my understanding does support VoLTE, not sure if thats for all LTE bands but the ROG has 4/6 lte bands that bell offers.)
Even if it turns out its not working right now doesn't mean someone wont figure out how to force enable at some point. And there are a handful of modules that are working so I expect there will be more over time.

The speakers by default IMO are pretty good quality as long as you don't set it to outdoor mode. (for reference my PC speakers are 8" studio monitors) There was some muddiness somewhere between the 125hz and 250hz band, and a bit of harshness around 4khz so I bumped them down a few db in viper and it sounds a bit clearer and smoother.
The phone comes with "audiowizard" which at least gives you a treble/bass slider and a 6 band eq so I'm just using viper to fine tune the speakers and BT audio.
Cameras are actually pretty good. I'm coming from a HTC One m7 so maybe I just dont know what I'm talking about but I thought the quality was good. Someone here posted about video being noisy in low light, which it kinda is, but if you use pro mode you can change "S" which I assume is shutter speed or something which when set right looks much much better.(and a little darker) Still way better than the m7. I can post some examples if you'd like.
I tried gcam but I dont think it was using any ai processing because the images came out worse. maybe it was an older apk. I was more focused trying to get sense weather clock widget working haha
Thanks for the reply.
Which gCam did you try? There is a moribund thread discussing gCam for ROG here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone/themes/google-camera-rog-phone-t3858294.

I have never heard the word moribund before...
Yea I saw that thread, I tried the one linked up top. I read through the other posts but didn't bother going through that big unsorted list linked lower down. If someone wants to point me to the correct apk to download I would test it out.

Hi bro can you teach me how to root my Rog phone please
Sorry but may I ask how you got viper to work at all?
I install it via magisk and do the activate/reboot as usual but after opening viper and checking the status, I see it says abnormal which means it's not working.
Any ideas or help to get this working for me and maybe others with the same problem?
Thanks.

Yea make sure you have busybox installed, and selinux permissive before installing viper. I used "the selinux switch" from the play store. Let me know if that works. TBH I think its selinux that prevents it from running correctly.
If that doesn't work, you can also try audio mod library in magisk, i installed that in case the the asus eq app would conflict with viper. And also so I can stack that + ViperFX + Xhifi haha
BTW still on FW .48 from november, never bothered to update...

Thanks, i had busybox already as a magisk module installed, as well as the audio mod library, so really the only thing i did'nt try was the selinux switch, so i install it & set that to permissive then got viper to work from magisk.
Thanks heaps for that info . :good:
