hi, thks fr yr reply, yes thats wht i need to know, thks again..

about point 2): keep in mind that this requires removal of the battery cover and then opening the battery compartment door which may not fit to the term "easily", especially when the phone is powered on

yes, yr right, "easly" dosent match lot here, but no need to remove the battery and turn the phone off ths most important. thanks again kind from u

if u remove the battery door, chances are that the battery will slip out.
If u wanna know if the sd-card is hot-swappable or not, i would say the answer is no.

Considering how you can fry the emmc chip in these devices by removing the battery, I wouldn't even consider that it's worth the risk trying to swap out an sd card while the device is powered up in order to save three minutes
Swyped firm ym Desire S unsig XAD Permuim

Agree
Swyped from a primed Desire S

To remove sd without turning the phone off I simply open the battery cover while keeping the battery still against the contacts with my thumb. Before that, obviously,I go to Settings-storage-unmount sd card!
By the way,I have wifi grip issue: it happens whenever I put even a single finger beside the speaker, below the jack output.

[A700] [A510] Replacement/Spare/Repair Speakers

Hi,
I am looking for a replacement set of speakers, one of them (left one) recently died. It produced some horrible sound, sizzling... I disconnected one of the wire, which allows me to continue to use the tablet, however I would like to replace it but could not find any supplier.

Thank you so much, yes you helped a lot!!! :good:
What a dumbass I am, I forgot to check ebay.
Now the question, is should I;
_ Pay $45 and continue to enjoy my tablet and do reparation myself when I got time (max 1 hour)
or
_ Restore/Reset the tablet to factory setup, (ROM, kernel, relock bootloader, probably loose my applications etc), then pay $15/20 (for the shipping with Insurance to Acer repair center), and have ~3/4 weeks without tablet ...
:silly:

Well, considering;
1. You already snipped the wire.
2. Most folks listen with headphones.
I would do it myself when I got around to it.
Remember, sometimes, a re-flash back to stock can go wrong. Why tempt fate :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I did not really cut the wire, I disconnected it from its plug, if you already dismounted PC fan plugs, you may understand what I mean (I just won't precise that I needed half an hour to do it...). So theoretically, I can reconnect it before sending for RMA.

I do not really get the point.
And I am still using the second working speaker, which is pretty convenient for youtube videos or games.

That is a serious argument :laugh: .
My only problem is that I found painful $45 for two "****ty" small speakers.

If you feel confident that you can restore stock, then it will save you money as you said.
My only argument would be, is it worth saving that money for how much effort it takes and how long you would be without a tablet?
Depends which you value more, the money or the time

Heating & charge loosing problem

Hello everyone.
Since last Friday, 26 February, the phone heats up even when surfing the Internet. charge loss is 25-30% per hour. Problems appear only on Friday. All was well for two months of using.
Has anyone experienced this problems?

I have same problem too. Any fix?

I'm hoping it's just a software bug, since multiple users have this issue, it just randomly started right? Also can you connect it to a PC?

I turned off the GPS sensor. Phone has become heated less, but still heats up stronger than two weeks ago.
Phone discharges still a bit fast.
​

I have exactly the same problem for last 2-3 weeks.
Tried flash roms for different regions, and all the same.
Phone battery lasts for about 10 hours.
Hope that will be sorted out by Sony soon, because phone is not for daily use like that!

yes, it seems other people are having this problem as well, so after 3-4 months the sony xperia z5 battery dies for some people hmm, anyways I am in the process of getting it RMA or repaired by sony, but contacted the seller, waiting on their response

I have the same issue, it started after two programs installed, com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system. I don't have a facebook account and I removed the facebook app but these apps are nonremovable, I disabled them in app manager but the battery drain and heat is still there. I don't know if it's related.

Factory reset isnt helps too

Unfortunatelly nothing helps. I sent mine to local Sony service. Will report back what they did.

Best version on android for Pixel 1?

Hi,
So after smashing up my S7 i have got a Pixel 1 with Android 7.1 installed, the previous owner said he hadnt updated due to possible problems.
I have read quite a bit about people having battery issues with v9 and others saying their battery usage improved, and people saying v8 was best, then v9 has better camera software......
so
1) Should I update to v9
2) Can I manually update to v8 if I want?
Any advice or more websites to read?
Thanks

My only suggestion would be to unlock your bootloader if it isn't already, it will save you some drama if you get bootlooped at any point in the future if you choose to update.
I'm on stock 10 at the moment and can't say battery is any worse than 9, I get a days use out of a charge on calls, texts, bit of browser, messaging, labs and the odd photo.

I did briefly read about the bootloader at some point, if I unlock it it doesnt affect the phone in any other way does it?
And from what I remember I will need an unlocked bootloader to downgrade?
Thanks

I unlocked the bootloader as soon as I got mine, you will have to put up with the brief warning screen on a reboot or boot up and Google pay and banking apps may play you up as it may not pass CTS profile check but as I don't use banking apps etc it don't bother me (there are workarounds for that if you search)
You'll be able to flash what you want with it unlocked, from factory images to custom ROMs etc

The only way it affects the phone is if lost or stolen it will be easy to just reinstall android OS and use the phone again. Also anyone can get your data which is on the phone. This is the only risk of having unlocked bootloader.
Well if you won't unlock it, at some point you MAY end up with bootlooping device, which you won't be able to use. I recommend to unlock and NEVER relock bootloader!
As to what OS to install. I highly recommend after unlocking bootloader just flash android 10. It works GREAT. I can show you my battery life.

I ALWAYS get more then 4 hours SOT. No matter what i do. Play games, LTE and so on. The only thing i do not do i almost never use GPS.

Best Android version is the latest. This is a Pixel not a Samsung or Huawei. It's made to run the latest.

Thanks for your recomendations.
I've unlocked the bootloader and currently downloading v9 then hopefully 10 and will see what happens
1.5 hours on hill climbing 2 and youtube, that is very impressive!!! My s7 would be close to dead after playing a game for that long

installed v10 and everything seems to be all good so far, no problems at all.
thanks

Android 10 = Best for *any* Pixel (so far)

The family has Pixels at both ends (Mom has an original; I have a 3a) - the quirk is that I bought mine new, but she bought hers refurbished (after she turned down a new 3a XL for Mother's Day - she complained it costs too much). Both are running dead-stock 10 (in both cases, by choice). In her case, it's definitely because of the Camera (app) - which is why I wanted to buy her a 3a XL; she has ALWAYS been picky about pictures. I have not been - largely because I seldom take ANY pictures; with the Samsung S7 (which I used for a year before replacing it with the 3a) I took twenty pictures. Total. Therefore why would I normally care about either the camera hardware OR the Camera app on the phone? (Hence "#whatcamera".) The $0.64USD (sixty-four cents in US currency) question is how much is the Camera app of the Pixel 4 modified from the 3a series - if at all? (I'm hearing a lot of bragging on the Pixel 4's Camera app - even compared to that of the 3a. However, the same app that is on the 3a is on every Pixel that got stock 10 (which is all of them - unless the owners said NYET); what if the same thing is true with the Pixel 4's Camera app is what is true with the app in all the predecessors - better software, not better hardware? I'll let the technowizards dig; meanwhile I'll simply enjoy the deadliest stock camera (app) on any phone - at darn near any price.

What percentage was your pixel after 1.5 hour hill climbing 2 and youtube?
Once i played hill climbing for 4 hours in parts throughout the day and my OG Pixel worked great even had some 20% after.

I havent played any games or youtube on my pixel yet, but I have been impressed with battery life so no complaints from me so far.
Not a huge fan of the fingerprint on the back as i often use my phone with it on the desk, but apart from that i am very impressed with the phone as a whole

You don't HAVE to use the fingerprint reader - my mom doesn't (hers is PIN-only). The reason I do is because that is what I am used to (came from the S7 - which was pattern+PIN; my 3a is fingerprint reader+PIN).

Actually battery life worsened on android 10 for me, performance is slightly worse and phone overheats with easy tasks which wasn't the case on android 9. I'll be downgrading pretty soon after I back up my data.

Question Experience after reballing

A month ago i got a used x3pro from marketplace with box
When testing before paying the phone behaved fine even on benchmark
Later the phone was randomly rebooting for no reason
I looked the thing up since it was running stock and I stumbled upon the reballing and the motherboards problem
Now the phone is completely off wont turn on
I Tried replugging the battery but no luck
So I looked for a local store that does re-balling
Am asking what are ur experiences with reballing ? Does the reball fix it or is it temporary only?

My front cam is not working sometimes, and sometimes sim signal is not working
Gonna reball my devices next week.

mine still in testing as post-reball is less than week old but I doesn't encounter any problem so far and it is same like before the deadboot happened and I learned my lesson that I'm not playing much games now and overheat my cpu past 80°c because it's the main issue of x3pro getting deadboot the cpu solder deforming making shorted.
my advice to you is dont choose random technician but only people that has experienced a lots of successful repair of Px3Pro , in my case I seached in FB and checked every technician post of what they accomplished and watch post of video of them doing the reball.

forgot to tell you that im using NGK app now with overlay of tracking the cpu temp in top left, i can still play games with px3pro but not hardcore like before. Anyway the deadboot happened to me was when im playing 2hours straight while charging, no cpu temp and screen stucked for couple mins then died, cant turn on, nor charging response like no sign of life and told myself the my cpu solder melted or deformed and need a reball.

After reballing Bukeh, ultra wide and micro Cameras are not working, main camera and front camera are working fine, rest of device is great. Sometime sensors stop working which is a know issue for Poco X3 pro, for that we have to restart the device.

what if, you apply glue to prevent the cpu from moving? like old computers. technically if it is thermal glue it should not melt with the heat generated, just a idea
