Encrypt Phone does nothing on Doogee X5 Pro (Android 5.1, kernel [email protected]

I have a Doogee X5 Pro (Android 5.1, kernel [email protected]). When I try to encrypt the phone (Settings -> Security -> Encrypt phone), it has me verify my screen lock PIN and it checks that I have a fully charged battery, it briefly puts up the Android logo then restarts ... and sits at the DOOGEE logo until I long-press (10+ seconds) the power button to restart the phone. It never encrypts.
Can someone recommend, either specific to this phone, or likely more generally to clone phones running (I presume) AOSP based Android 5.1, how to get the phone to encrypt?
(The phone is not rooted and I prefer to not have to root this, as it is for a non-technical user, not for myself).
thanks,

I have similar issue. have you been able to fix it?

No, no luck so far. Still hoping someone else has an answer.
Hm, now that I think of it, the phone just received an OTA update. When I have time, I'll try again, and see if that update fixed this problem.

I'm going to try other ROMs today.

That's great, thanks - please let us know which ROM you choose and how it goes.
I'm really hesitant anymore to buy anything which won't run CyanogenMod. I'd like to know how you choose an alternate ROM for the X5 Pro?

same issue here
Same issue here. Older version before OTA update even dis not contain the Encrypt phone item. That appeared now but does not work. Seems as a problem for all x5pro phones

I have what I beleive is essentially the same phone but with a larger screen (X6 Pro)?
Do any of you folks send Skype video messages - my phone runs Skype video conversations fine (camera is crap to be fair) but each time I record a video playback is usually stuttered and like a slideshow or frozen and in other instances the recorded video just "disappears" after recording with no video to send...
I also notice that when watching YouTube videos, if you scroll down through the comments the video playback becomes garbled....
I was not expecting issues like this with a quad core, 2GB RAM adnroid device.
The phone is generally very nicely built other than the aforementioned issues...

Help - no sound, no aux, no mic, no recording

Hi all,
Recently purchased an Xperia XZ second hand which has a couple issues that I think are related and software based.
-no sound through speakers
-no sound though headphone jack
-no sound being recorded through mic
-inability to record videos (error message stating recording or recording related function may be in use by another app)
I received the phone factory reset on Nougat then updated to Oreo and factory reset the phone again. Each time the problems still persisted so I know its not any third party applications as there weren't any downloaded. Also, I've tried turning off Google voice recognition from any screen and it was already off anyway.
This definitely seems like a software fault so I'd really like to be able to solve it.
All help is greatly appreciated!

OK, that means that it is locked. However, it could have been unlocked and relocked without restoring the TA. That could be the cause of the camera problems, but it should not be the cause of the other problems.

Yes, try this. You should use the 'software repair' option in the update section to force a clean install of the latest firmware.

Been busy so I haven't gotten round to trying anything as yet - Just been walking around with the XZ and my Z3...
What does the software repair actually do? Just wondering because I had already done a clean install of the latest firmware. I flashed it with UK firmware to get the fingerprint scanner working and it has since received the March OTA update so it's all up to date. To be clear though, the same problems were present on both the Nougat USA firmware as well as the Flashed Oreo UK firmware.

It's been a couple months now, been busy with school.
I tried the xperia companion repair and no luck. The repair wiped the OS and reinstalled the latest version (I guess that is how it repairs the phone), I set it back up with my google account etc. All the problems are still present.
I know this is not a third party app because the problem persists even when factory reset.
I know it's not firmware related because the problem persists on Android 7 and 8 US versions as well as 8 UK version (installed for fingerprint reader).
Just a reminder of current symptoms:
No sound through the internal speakerphones
No sound through the auxiliary 3.5mm jack
When attempting to play a song from the sony music app it says "cannot play song"
When on facebook it says some sort of error occurs when trying to play a video with sound
Any other videos played from the phones album or online (youtube etc) normally play but with no sound
I cannot record video as the device says "Cannot record. Recording or a recording-related function may be in use by another application".
When the phone receives a call through facebook messenger the call fails as soon as I hit answer
ALSO..... when going through the Sony Xperia diagnostics - If I click to test the speakers, I hear no sound. If I click to test the microphone, the app becomes unresponsive and freezes till I exit.
However, I can play music via bluetooth and have been doing so for the past couple weeks with no problem whatsoever. Notification sounds come through the bluetooth device (wireless speaker or car speakers) with no problem too.
It's been a while now so I really need to sort it out before I just sell up and do something else.
But I'm going on holiday in about two weeks so, without time to get another phone and whatnot, it's looking like I'll just have to carry my old Xperia Z3 with me for backup........

Hi, I have the same issue on my Xperia X...
Neither the factory reset nor the Xperia companion is efficient for me.
Have you found any solution?
Thanks !

still searching the answer
i've same problem with thread starter btw

Hmm so now it's working?

small update with my XZs, it fixed itself after a few months, idk what happened lol.
Just last week though it broke again. It started when I was charging it, the phone began emitting a weird static sound.
For some reason youtube videos don't play as well. They will load but will not play even when pressing the play button. It's stuck with the buffering icon thingy.

How to flash device driver binaries? Fix Pixel Mic/Audio issues?

I want to know how do I flash any if the files found on Google's developer site. (https://developers.google.com/android/drivers#sailfish)
It gives *.tgz files.
The reason for this is that my pixel has been cursed with the dreaded mic issue. I hope that flashing a driver image could help restore some functionality. It has now even spread to my speakers, the phone can't produce audio and videos and audio don't play unless through a Bluetooth device. AUX is not functional.
First it was just the mic giving issues and I good just reboot the phone and it would work again for some time. But now rebooting does nothing and now I can't even hear sound to play a video or game. Please help.
Just to give more description I want a way either via fastboot or adb or through the Recovery to install these files, if possible. Would it solve the issue?
Other issues include not being able to swipe to answer calls and the phone freezes if I do. Apps crash sometimes if they require audio output.

Same issue here (Searching for a used dead phone - 2017 manufactured, maybe screen cracked, body damage etc. So that I can replace the mobo as most of them say this is the way to fix it).
I saw some comments in Google forums that ''Android P beta builds'' fixed the issue for some. Wanted to try that, but I am not able to find beta links (As beta is over)
Installing drivers is worth a try.....Even I would like to know

So anybody has any ideas yet? Anything software wise at all?

Try flashing some custom roms and kernels

**FIX** unlock BL, twrp3231, pixeldust 9.0 ROM, magisk 18.1
Hey friends I was having same issue after stock to 9.0 update (with all patches up to today 3-9-19) on my pixel, first it wouldn't read a Sim and I unlocked the bootloader and used adb to fix that by resetting the modems, then less than 24 hours later it dropped the mic and then sound all together (probably with one of the first updates).
So I updated the phone completely and still no mic no audio. Checked xda and only found this thread. Tried 4 times to download the Google fix and every time it failed so I can't say if the adb sideload fix works but I had already prepped the twrp room and magisk files so I proceeded with that after 24 hours and no solution I could find.
Much to my satisfaction as soon as the rom was loaded (pre magisk) i heard audio. Continued to root and came out with sound and mic and mobile data finally! Pixeldust is very nice so far, snappy and lots of options though maybe a more mellow graphic designer for the stock wallpaper is called for!

Xz3 - 52.1.A.0.672 RU version

Xperia XZ3 (H9493) - 52.1.A.0.672 - RU version
Notification seek bar bug - STILL!!! – If I’m playing media through chrome, soundcloud or another app, the notification seek bar does not work in most situations. This has been a bug since the initial Android 10 roll out and I’m still shocked that we’re still going through this.
Swipe up from the lock screen – I’ve noticed this since the update from Android 9 to 10. It used to be a quick flick of the thumb where I could go from the notifications on the lock screen to the security pattern. Now since the A10 update, I can’t do that anymore. It is a longer swipe, more exaggerated swipe to get to the security options. It was easier with 1 hand before and it needs to go back to whatever it was in Android 9
Camera – Still gives error unknown error. It’s MUCH EASIER to fix than the first and second android 10 releases but it still shouldn’t be like this. It’s at the point where I don’t know if it’s an actual software or hardware problem. And with everything that’s going on, I probably won’t be able to confirm for the next 6 months. I'll probably end up wasting$200 fixing the hardware, that was really a software issue all along.
Fingerprint – Good, I believe either at or close to Android 9 speed
Battery – Good
Networking issues – I believe better than the last update. It seems good so far so
No idea why the software version has to be in the notification quick settings. That doesn’t need to be there. It’s out of place/doesn't add value by being there
I am so frustrated by Sony. They’re taking steps to fix this but damn you should have been on the ball. I do a clean install each update because I don't trust Sony to do this correctly.
This phone is like the Renault Formula 1 team. It's a great product and each update is a step further but holy **** you all should have been a lot farther along by now. Now Mclaren (One Plus) is starting to pass you.
Edit: I forgot to add this earlier. I found a bug by random. In dark mode, About phone -> Emergency Information, the notification bar text is black. So you've got a dark screen with black text.

I still have not received an air update on my H9493. my software version is still 532.

It's possible it's a hardware problem. It happens to me too but it was worse with the initial A10 update. My understanding is if you squeeze beside the camera when turning the phone, it can solve the issue. This is because it's a possible loose ribbon.
The initial A10 release was terrible so flash up to .672 and it may fix the problem (if it's a software issue)

Hey I am also facing this problem on my xz3 dual. Failed to restart the camera is consistently occuring in the past few weeks but restarting the phone worked then. But now its been almost 2 days, camera app says unknown error, I tried everything mentioned above but still unable to resolve the issue. Kindly let me know if downgrading the firmware resolves the issue.
Thank you

Today I downgrade my Xz3 H9493 to android
9 but my camera didn't get back.So I decided
to check hardware.that is really sad.
Coz I have to take out all water proof
Seal from my back cover .After that I found
my Camera connector is loose.That's why
occurring unknowm error and after
2 or 3 days is good again.At last that is
not a software error at all.

I got error while enabling tethering
Anyone else?

I'm having signal issues. Dropping connection all the time. Latest firmware hurt this badly.
Same SIM on a Samsung A30S on android 9 works fine.

Hello guys. I need your help finding 52.1.A.0.618 for H9436

Worth to install LineageOS 16.0 on T5 ?

Hi,
Those who installed LineageOS on T5, could you please share your experience ?
I noted from few comments on this forum:
5GHz Wifi is not working but 2.4 GHz is working fine
disable HW overlays in the dev options to remove blur
disable AudioFX to correct sound
Is there any other prooblem ? What about bluetooth, camera, GPS, gapps ?
Any feedback will be appreciated

I'm the one who said it didn't work on 5GHz wifi, it is working.
I had to wait several minutes until my AP appeared, once I connected for the first time it did not give me any problem.
Also something like this happened when starting LineageOS for the first time, it did not connect neither in 2.4 nor in 5 but waiting it worked.
After disabling AudioFX I installed Eqfy Equalizer which works fine.
The camera app is not working, a white line appears in the middle of the screen and there are no photo options or anything.
Since I don't use it to take photos, I have not tried more but I suppose that with some other camera app it should work.
Not tested bluetooth or GPS for now.
On the other hand, the tablet works more fluidly and you have more free space.
In the absence of trying more things, for now I'm sticking with LineageOS.

Thanks for your feedback.
I have flashed LienageOS 16, and have patched RAMDISK.IMG to install Magisk.
It looks OK, I like it so far. There are only two issues:
* Camera is not working
* I have only 2,4Ghz WiFi (which btw is working fine), but I do not see 5,0 GHz network in my list
GPS, bluetooth, sound, image,...everything seems working OK, but I didn't check in details.
Despite those two issues I will stay with LineageOS. I prefer it one hundred times over EMUI. And for camera, which btw is not very important to me neither, I will probably find a fix one day.

From time to time your 5GHz AP may appear, you can connect but then it disappears again.
Yesterday I checked, I thought it was connected in 5GHz but no, the connection was in 2.4
I confirm that the Wifi in 5GHz does not work.

I have sorted it out.
For WiFi, I changed the channel on my router, put it at 44, and now the 5,0 Ghz Wifi is visible and I can connect.
For camera, I have found a Gcam which works OK, it is "GC_4.1.006.126161292-41003513.apk", easy to find on XDA.
So now I have LineageOS fully working. For the time being everything is fast and stable.

I thik it is related to router. On my router, in settings, the choice of channel was set to automatic, I put it to 44 and it is visible, and the connection is fast and stable. For some reason the tablet doesn't see higher frequencies.

I'm going to take a look to Gcam, I've tested a couple of cam apps but not working.
Now I'm using channel 56 but previously I tested other channels, maybe the day it worked I was using a lower one, will test too.
Thanks a lot.

Hello. If this can be of any help: the Gcam which I installed, I found it on this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/themes/google-camera-huawei-p20-kirin-devices-t3882198
It is : Google Camera v4.1.006.126161292, in the first post, section OTHER AVAILABLE APKs.
Maybe we’re not using the same version.
After flashing LineageOS, I found that I had two cameras : HwCamera2.apk 8.0.0.200 which I think is Huawei camera, and Camera2.apk 2.0.002. First one was crashing immediately, the second one didn’t work with a white line in the middle. Now I have first one disabled, second one is still there but useless. And third one is the one above which is OK.

Has anyone had any luck with Netflix?
I tried LineageOS yesterday and was unable to install Netflix from the play store, likely because it said I was uncertified. I was however able to download and side load Netflix, which initially appeared to resolve the issue, however any attempt to play content resulted in a 5.10 error. From what I can tell, this appears to be something to do with DRM, however the few potential solutions I've found using Magisk didn't help resolve the situation, and I've ended up reverting to Emui
Aside from Netflix, I didn't come across any other issues while testing. Unfortunately for me, Netflix was the main reason for getting this tablet in the first place, my old 3rd Gen iPad would have been more than adequate for my needs other wise

In order to get Netflix work, I installed one older versions found on apkmirror. I picked up randomly 6.21.0. I installed also liboemcrypto_disabler (even though I do not know if it was necessary), and in addition of that it is hidden in Magisk. It is working, I do not know how to check the quality, but I guess it is 720p.

Why TWRP needed why not to flash directly from stock recovery...

If you want to install LineageOS, the TWRP is not needed. You flash LineageOS via fastbot. In fact, it is better not to mess with TWRP, officially it is not supported by OpenKirin ROM's.

I also thought so but it's ok I have LineageOS installed with OpenCamera everythink seems to be working fine even LTE is there 16.1 version available ?
and also where can I get stock recovery if I need it, is it available for download anywhere ? or after LineageOS instalation it also installs stock recovery ?

If you want go to stock recovery again, On OpenKirin site there are comprehensive guides, under section Support, about where to find stock EMUI firmware, and how to extract and flash stock recovery image.
I do not think that LineageOS will install stock recovery, if you had TWRP before LineageOS installation, most likely it is still there. You may check it yourself : Vol Down + Power on boot.

I've just tried LineageOS build 6 on my AGS2-W09 and the camera seems to work ok now.
Had to install OpenCamera and set the all permissions, clear storage for this app and on the next run it can finally save the aquired photo.
The 5Ghz WiFi works with no problems (my router selected channel n.60)
As for audio: there is a glitch when device is booting, might want to not wear headphones during a reboot ☺
Haven't tried disabling AudioFX or installing Viper4Android as I am rolling back to stock firmware.
Netflix:
I think I konw why Netflix is not working: I have no IMEI with this OS.
UPDATE: IMEI should not matter on this device as it has no network.
I had tried the Netflix 6.21.0 version mentioned here and it gives me the same "Device failure occurred 501.-1006" error.
Then I've installed Kodi with a Netflix addon and it gives me: "It was not possible to get data from Widevine CryptoSession. Your system is not Widevine certified".
It is pretty clear that the LineageOS 16 build 6 (lineage-16.0-20201019-emui8-gapps.img) has no Widewine libraries installed.
Other than this the OS is very responsive, unfortunately I have to rollback because of this.

I am using this tablet for Netflix and prime on stock emui.
I really want to upgrade to custom ROM but no polished ROM anywhere!
