I was very happy to find this new firmware from 0929 from Christian as I was unhappy the way my aPad ZT-180 was running on the original firmware. It crashed on the time, but most everything worked ok. After upgrading my ROM, I'm now having a several problems I wanted to ask about.
1. When I turn on my WiFi under in WiFi Settings, the WiFi comes on and then I get a message at the bottom of the screen: "Unable to scan for networks", Then the WiFi turns itself off. I have the box called Network Notification checked too. (Before the ROM upgrade, I had no problem with WiFi connecting.)
2. The screen will not rotate by itself, even though I have the orientaion senor checked in System Prerferences. It seems to be stuck in the horizonal mode. However, when I run a couple of different programs, it switches to vertical and then will not go back to horizonizal mode again.
3. None of my videos will play on the unit and I cannot even get the videos on YouTube to play. I have tried various formats of videos and several video players and nothing works.
Does anyone have similar problems and do you have any ideas of how to fix these issues ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a Asus TF700(tegra3) and an HTC OneXL (qualcomm chipset). both are running cm10.1.
I noticed on both devices is that once the wifi/3G icon turns gray, weird things happen to my devices:
1. stuff like playstore (when I'm downloading stuff) or chrome would suddenly FC. seems to affect apps like titanium backup as well
2. the screen would start flickering.
a restart often fixes this but it happens soon after using the apps I mentioned above.
And this happens on both devices! so it's not device dependent. I've searched the net and it seems gray icons mean my phone/tablet is not connected to Google's servers.
I'm really stumped on how to fix it. on the HTC, this doesn't happen when I'm running a custom Sense-based ROM. I've also tried the stock Asus ROM but it's so close to AOSP unlike sense, I get the same problem. :/
I would really appreciate if you could help me out. I've searched the net but came back empty-handed. I've also looked at Google support but unlike Apple's appstore support, Google is just hopeless! no excuses really considering how much they net profit they get every quarter.
I am not sure but somehow my problem started when Google implemented that "Google settings" that suddenly appeared in the app drawer.
thanks!
So I've had a phone called the 78dian / Much W1 (should be one of the first results on google) but I actually broke it and just recently got it repaired. I was hoping maybe some recent updates might have fixed the issues I was experiencing, but still nothing.
I am not able to use these apps: Tinder, Grindr (another location based dating app), Limelight Game Streaming
I can connect to the PS4 Remote Play app just fine, which I assume is a similar streaming system to limelight?
Tinder logs me in but won't load any photos. Grindr won't log in at all, just tells me to check my internet connection. Limelight Game Streaming gives me a different connectivity error.
My Nexus 4 can connect just fine to all of these services.
The device is running Android 4.2.2
LogCat gives me a common error among the three that states: "... cert_verify_callback calling verifyCertificateChainauthMethod=RSA"
and sometimes it says "failed to get contextual suggestions"
Any ideas?
please help
Its been a year now since my screen phone broke accidentally and up until now I've been searching for a spare screen for my phone. I bought it on China when we docked in shanghai via internet with a help from my Chinese colleague(I bought 2 units), but a year after both of the screen unfortunately cracked and I couldn't find any replacement for parts here in my country (Philippines). Up until now I've been searching for a spare part for my screen replacement because those phone has a huge sentimental value for me and I cannot just dispose it or let it sit around in my closet. I was just wondering if someone can help me find a spare screen for my phone. its just the protective screen from the housing that was cracked because the screen display is still operating, but the screen is not responding to touches. thank you in advance Sir/Madam and I whole heartedly be thankful if someone can be able to help me in my situation.
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...
Hello all
I have the (e)xperience, that I always need to restard the phone, before the Netflix app starts without failure. Anyone else this behavior?

No problem with Netflix on my phone.
Delete data and cache and try again.
I'm facing the same issue. Haven't found what's causing it or any workaround to avoid restarting the phone. Deleting data & cache haven't helped. Even reinstalled the app.
I have the same issue not only with Netflix but also with Disney Plus. I think something is messed up with how the phone manages DRM.
I have the exact same issue, and it concerns Netflix, Disney+ and HBO.
same problem here also with p.v and d+, only restart fix the problem temporarily, i noticed also that the cromecast works , so its a minor problem for me because rarely i watch netflix on phone, i hope sony fix this with the next update, its absurde that the app come preinstalled in the phone and works bad ?
Just found the same issue on the first week I was using this phone on early October. I told with the Sony CS and reported this bug to them but they didn't think it's a bug as they told me not so many users reported to them. They won't try to fix this problem....
I had this with the old firmware, with the security patches of August. With the latest firmware, patches of November, I don't have it.
Same annoying problem here with Netflix and Prime Video, even after the firmware update including December patch.
Same problem here. I wasn't even aware of it until reading this thread as I always use a Chromecast.
Same problem here. First time Netflix after restart no problems. After having used the phone for a while and going back to Netflix, videos refuse to start. Red circle keeps spinning, eventually resulting in Netflix error 5.7.
Only a phone restart will fix this. Very annoying.
Any solutions?
I'm having this issue with Netflix as well. Just got the phone, it's on the latest software version. I haven't tried Prime video yet. Not a huge deal, since I only watch videos on my phone when I travel, and well...yeah, that won't be happening for a while. Agree it needs to be fixed.
Dear all - so I am not alone with this problem. (I didn't receive any updates on that threat). Especially, as it is a preinstalled app, Sony should get this work. How can we contact them?

It really is pretty poor having a pre instilled app not working properly.
It looks like I no longer have the issue with Prime, only with Netflix. So it could be an issue with the app itself. Has anyone tried to contact Netlfix support?
For me this is solved since my Xperia 5ii was updated to Android 11.
For me, too, with the update, it is gone!
