Developer preview mode: - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I just tried pressing ALT key and software repair on sony companion and it shows installing developer preview.
AFAIK developer preview has been released only for z3, which rom will it install on z3+ ??

Hey dude! You finish the instalation? News?

I didn't, I thought someone will be aware already as I am new.
So i did abort it.

Yep... I do the same...

I have to take my phone to service center on sat, if they format it. I might end up trying in installing dev preview.

I'm pretty sure there is no Dev Preview. When using the option to install it has a message saying that the Android N preview is not available for this device.
Sent from my Xperia Z3+ using XDA Labs

Tested this and indeed, there's no preview for our device unfortunately. Just reinstalled the latest official 6.0.1 release.

Wow. Could you pull the apk & up it. Use std xda attachment? If under 8 mb.
Sorry I misread.
So does any other moto phone phone on 4.4 have it?

The test mode not working on X. I tried in BP & Factory boot up too.
BTW battery charging does not happen in one or both of those boot modes.

Links to more about success on previous builds.
@cellzealot
Any comment on it being in there somewhere?
No, the Programming Menu has been removed from the X since 4.4. If you use an app like Activity Launcher you can see that the only option that is still available is BP Factory Reset activity and it fails when launched from the Intent/Activity directly. Since these are the only Moto devices officially on 4.4.x builds we can't be certain if it is removed/disabled on other models yet.
I tend to doubt it.

[Q] camera not working

I got a Mi3 today and the camera is not working
It takes a photo and the image appears in the little circle to the left of the shoot button.
The problem arises when i click on the camera roll, nothing happens and no images are stored in the gallery.

Has anyone a solution?

Your android version is really old (March). You should update. There are threads here on how to do that.

[Q] Android L

Can anyone port android L preview :|
Im dying to use it on my Xperia SP..
I've heard the battery timing is greater than ever in Android L.
Please can someone try?
Have patience brother, you'll get everything in time.
Does Anyone know or have any update or post that we can follow to get info about roms for the xperia sp running android 5.0 lolipop

Considering the fact that Android 5.0 was released just a week ago--No. We'll have to wait.
Considering the fact that XSP is not officially supported by Sony for software updates--Hell No. We'll have to wait even longer for a port. Hopefully CyanogenMod brings salvation!
Good day and God bless!
Hit thanks if it helped!

I can not wait to take out the first version of L for xperia :silly::silly::silly::silly:

I have tried many things on my xperia sp to make it look like Android L..
Like Nova Launcher, it have slideup animation when u open App
It even have that balloon animation of app drawer..
The button like android L, still i want android L.
I want Project Volt
I wouldn't expect L any time soon, UBL have a much better chance of getting it as they have Kernel choices but even then they need to get it working with our hardware. LBL people are probably out of luck but theres a tiny glimmer of hope that it can be built.
PA + Herathon theme + Nova launcher is what im making do with until then.

It comes loaded with oreo, so it must.
I can confirm that it supports project treble ??
Have you tried the "getprop ro.treble.enabled" command in the terminal ? If no, could you please confirm whether the value was "true" or "false".
I used treble check app & it says there is support for treble but no A/B partition so no seamless updates.

I'm a little confused. How come it supports Treble if it doesn't have a separate 'vendor partition' which is supposed to bring seamless updates?
I don't think the app you're using is reliable.
Well, either that or I'm missing something BIG about Project Treble!
He didn't say that! The phone does indeed have a vendor partition, it just doesn't have the A/B scheme (that's what he said at least).

When I do a hard reset, will project treble stay intact? I'd do a hard reset to get rid of the installed bloatware before I setup the phone.

Okay, got my device today, did a factory reset before starting. All worked fine. Yes, for sure Project Treble support, but only A-Partition. But after the reset and setup all that Bloatware was there again. Well, not to nice, but you can uninstall some of them. The device is really nice and you really get a lot of SP for the money. So, now wait for the first updates to come

Thanks, just tried using VPN via Germany, but still got nothing. I have 3 huawei/honor devices and none of them have ever worked via the phone updater, always have to use FF. On the H9L however not even the stock firmware is available yet let alone any updates. Thanks for replying anyway.:good:

Yes, the Stock Firmware is not available yet. Hope it is coming soon. Want to try this LOS thing, I don't like the EMUI too much.
I bought my H9L on 06.02.2018 from Amazon.de, well and yesterday the update appeared. One month after purchasing. Don't know if this is important...

The reason i haven't done that, as i explained in the other thread, is because i need android pay, or Google pay as it's called now. I know i can pass Safetynet with some fiddling with magdisk, but as you know magdisk vs Google is a cat and mouse story, Google closes one hole resulting with magdisk failing safetynet, then magdisk updates and safetynet passes again, then Google closes that hole and so on and on. Android pay is too important for me to have to keep doing that. Without magdisk as soon as BL is unlocked, which is required for LOS, safetynet fails. If GPay wasn't so important to me i would have loaded LOS , or phh AOSP, some time ago as EMUI is just bloatware in my opinion. Why OEMs, and it's not just Honor, think their skins are better than stock is strange. If they truly believe their skin is that great then make it an apk and let users decide, don't force it down people's throat and then not even give them the option to disable it...rant over..

True, but even without the chance to go back to Stock if I want, is just too risky for me at the moment. Sure will try later...

Android P Beta available for Nokia 7 Plus

Hey guys!
It seems Android P beta is available for selective models of Nokia 7 Plus.
https://developer.android.com/preview/devices/
The eligible devices list contains this phone.
I have ordered mine and will be receiving it in 2 days. Meanwhile, if anybody wants to give a try, please let us know how it is.
Cheers!!
Edit: If you are planning to upgrade to this Developer Preview 2, better download both files including the DP2 Beta and the Rollback Zip in the 1st instance. Once you have both files, proceed to upgrade. Many people are facing issues to download the rollback zip.

It'll wipe your data, and it's installing for me right now. I'm thinking about uploading the update here but I'm unsure if it will work for others too. (as-in if it's signed for devices based on their IMEI's)

That's bad but nonetheless, a good news. Uploading the update here won't do anything as the device has to be enrolled into the beta programme and IMEI gets bound with the update. So, that Nokia knows which phones are on beta programme.
Do share your first Impressions after the update gets installed.

I guess the rollback will work just the way beta programme works. You will have to unregister your device and an OTA would be sent to your device to get you back to stable software.

Installed it, and it didn't wipe my data. There's some visual bugs sometimes, but it's probably fixed by clean installing the update. I don't have time to do so at the moment, so I'm unsure of it. Otherwise, it works pretty good! Here's some screenshots: https://photos.app.goo.gl/nj9Zaw1HQWQeOe4l1
Cool! I was not happy with the wiping stuff so I didn't end up flashing it but I'll wait until more people confirm it actually works without wiping.

Just a warning to everyone else wanting to try this. In the Release Notes of the dev preview (https://developer.android.com/preview/release-notes) they say:
This release isn't Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) approved. Apps that depend on CTS-approved builds might not work normally on supported devices.

So there's a good chance that Snapchat, Netflix, Pokémon Go or several banking apps refuse to work. Also...

Did anyone notice the roll back build update zip? It was v2.13b 8.1.
Switching language gave me a reboot (dutch to english). After that i automatically entered recovery mode. There the phone told me to factory reset because it could not boot or retry booting again.
Retry did the job. (Thankfully..)
