Gesendet von meinem G8441 mit Tapatalk

I tested it with the DE-Firmware from March, and I didn't found it in the settings after reboot.
The QS Tile wasn't there aswell.

It works (strangely) after second attempt.

thanks!!!

Works for me.

Installation works, after reboot with usb-debugging turned 'on'.
Greetz, brockn

Works fine for me

Works after sencond time for me too, thank you for this tip, and for t020608 for the advice!

Do I need root for that?
EDIT: I guess no, sry didn't read the full text before...

Does it work with july update? Anyone tried?

yes it works after second install as described above

How can I uninstall the night mode? I wonder the answer because, maybe there will be crashes with other apps etc. So it is better to know how to uninstall it before installing.

I've installed this twice, and rebooted a number of times. No luck for me.
I've got the April 1st, 2018 android security patch.
Oddly, this worked prior to me resetting my phone. I used to have the July Security patch and it worked fine, I reverted the firmware using the EMMA tool from Sony, now i get nothing. too bad, was a very nice feature.

Yes, it works!

Installed the APK. ran the adb command - rebooted twice. I have the "Night mode" toggle, but can't toggle it (stays greyed out). Also in settings > display I don't find anything new. What else can I try? I'm on the 1st of July security patch. Thanks!
EDIT: Did everything again, now it actually appears in display settings. Screen didn't get tinted, though. After a reboot, it seems to work. Thanks!

Can someone post a screenshot on what this looks like when turned on?

Is there anything we can do to make the font change work? (remember the Xperia Z5?)

No. The redtint is applied by the GPU and does not affect screenshots. If I take a screen shot with night mode enabled, it looks the same as with Night mode disabled. It's the same as how you can't tell my white balance setting by looking at my screen shots.
I could use another phone to take a picture of my screen.

Finally can uninstall f.lux.
Weirdly it also only works the second time I install it.

It worked for me. I installed the apk, and ran the adb command, then rebooted. Nothing. Rebooted again, still nothing in settings or quick settings. I checked with Apk Analyser and saw the apk was installed, so I ran the adb command again and rebooted, and after that I found it in display settings.
Thanks for this.

turning off screen kills device

ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

No, you use the app rigth. The app only disable deepsleep.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat

Some very useful help for sortware OTA update!!!!

I like to share a very useful trick to everyone who use the jetstream with non AT&T sim.but want to update the firmware over the air.
HTC was only allowed update over the air if you use at&t sim and you have a data plan on it but with this trick you can bypass the restriction and use the ota firmware upgrade service like any unbranded, sim free htc device.
First you need to download quick system info pro app from market. Launch the app.
Scroll down and click to more info.
After that the hidden factory "about tablet" menu will appear and at the top you can see the software update. Tap on it and tap to search for updates right now.
Do not thick and turn on the scheduled update scan.
I attach some pictures.

Please use wifi connection. Ota update need wifi connection.

Please share if you can successfully update your device with this method. I hope someone can confirm this to work caus my device have the latest firmware and the update check says no available update.

I confirm its working! at least i tried and it worked for me.
I downloaded the application from the market.
I opened it and went to more info. and the software update was there.
I pressed on software update (while i was on Wifi with Orange SIM card) and then pressed "check now"
I was connected via wifi and the check towards at&t server was done.
Got a message that my device is update to the latest and no new update was found.
Well Done!
A good useful way to get future update without AT&T SIM.

Dito everything you said in your post. Same with the Jetstream here and hopefully the update will appear at some point to update my unit.
Followed the instructions and received an update to software number 1.30.502.1
Thanks for the tip.
Interesting... yesterday it said no update. Today, though, it said there was and the unit updated to the latest ROM. HUGE thanks for the tip!!!!
Hi,
I tried these instructions for updating my htc jetstream. It did show that a new version available, etc and even downloaded the necessary files. However, while updating, the screen went balnk, then it shows the android bot with a front panel open and a RED EXCLAMATION MARK - the type that would mean some problem encountered. I thought it might be a part of the update process. Have left it as it is and there has been no change since the past 15-20 minutes. Did anyone face this problem? Also, how long did it take actually to update the software?
Please help ASAP.
Screen shots attached..
No problem. Try to update your device with official ruu

It was stuck on that screen for over an hour. So I connected it to the comp, used adb reboot bootloader as it recognised the device connected, did a factory reset and it worked finally. Though the update has not yet been applied. Will leave it for now and will try it again after some exams I got till the 1st of March.
Thanks anyways for the help.

Yes the update has various reboots, blank screen moments, etc yet never had that screen image like yours. The update takes about 15 minutes.

Guess must be some problem because it was stuck on that screen for around an hour. I must have done something wrong or something. In any case, reserved the update for a later-after my exams are done.
Thanks to all for the help.
So this method is successful? Can anyone update his device with this ota update?
I hope I helped a lot of you with this.

Sensors not present

Hi all,
This is my first thread... I've looked every forum, every existing thread looking for an explanation / solution, with no luck at all... I hope somebody has experienced this with its prime and found a solution, because I'm thinking in RMA it...
The thing is that my sensors stopped working! No accelerometer, no magnetometer. The screen rotates itself to portrait mode when an app asks for it, but it stays that way when exiting the app. I have to go to Settings -> Display to uncheck and check Autorotation to go back to landscape mode. This is annoying! I installed an app called Elixir 2 and in the sensors page only the microphone is listed as present. Every other sensor is displayed as not present.
I noticed it two weeks ago, but I wanted to look for a solution instead of getting it replaced. I think it came with a .15 and it was updated to .21 in the first connection to Internet. I waited for the .28 to be released just in case it fixed the problem, but it did nothing, still has the problem.
By the way, I tried a cold boot and a factory reset... still nothing.
If I can have any word from anyone I will be pleased!
Thank you!
PS: forgive my english, I'm from Spain
Get the app called elixir2. its free. Kirk show u detailed info on everything, including sensors. itll show real time info on them. allows u to cut them off n on or reset them. it might help.

Well, that's exactly what I did! I said it before It just shows an X beside every sensor and under them it says something like "not present" (I don't have the Prime here right now). In that sensors page the only one that is shown as working is the microphone.
Any idea?
Thank you anyway!

Here's a snapshot of the Elixir2 sensors' page.
Hi, I cannot suggest anything new to try.
Today I noticed some of my sensors were not working, tried playing Riptide and found I could not turn. Also tried a level app and found that the orientation was not being detected. My problem was fixed by powering off then turning on again. I did not try elixir2 before the power off, therefore could not say if my prime was in a similar state.
Good luck in getting your prime going again.
Cheers stv

Well, at least someone experienced the same... even with a reset I can't make it work. Is there any "ultra-reset" I can do?
Before .28 I get the same issue.
Sensor can restart after a reboot or a cold start, but after I plug on the dock or after a deep sleep,the sensor stop.
Sometime, after a restart the sensor was not recognized. I use elixir also to check.
Now with .28, the sensor work well.

Did you update to .28 over wifi or using a microSD?

Update done through Microsd.
I have tweaked buil.prop on .21 and result Fota didn't work.
Think also to make a cold reboot and clear cache of all application (can be done with elixir).

demandrin - off topic, do you know where I may be able to get the circiut board that has the microsd slot and the touch screen sensor connectors. I accidentally damaged the connectors and now I can only use the tablet with the keyboard dock as a mini laptop. I emailed Asus but they would not sell me the part. I wonder if Gary would be nice enough to sell me the part.
Is HP the only company that sells parts to customers (I love HP for that reason LOL!!)

An update with my problem: I finally installed the .28 through SD card, having wiped all the data first, and the result is the same: no sensors are present. No autorotation, no compass, no auto-brightness. Elixir shows only the microphone as one of the sensors, everything else is shown as "not available" (as shown on my previous snapshot).
Any help?
Thank you!

And yesterday, with no reason at all, ALL of my sensors (accels, gyro, magnet field, etc.) started working again. I just powered the tablet on and voilà, everything was perfect! Elixir showed all the sensors up and running!

Fingerprint option gone

HI =)
I´ve had my Xperia Z5C for a year, and now a couple of days after latest update the fingerprint option is suddenly gone. I´ve tried to talk to Sony support with zero result, they had me trying to check settings, to try in Safety mode(option gone there too), to clear cace in the app setting of it, and to repair in Sony Bridge for Mac, but nothing has worked. I can find Fingerprint in Settings and Apps, but I cant find it in the settings menu for activating it. Also when I configured the phone after Repair there where a option to set up Unlook-screen and the fingerprint where not mentioned there either. Its just all of the sudden gone. I see that US dont have the option, but I live in Norway so thats not the issue, plus I have had it from day 1 and up until now a year later.
Any suggestions ?

So it doesnt give info that fingerprint hardware is missing in lockscreen if you try unlock phone with fingerprint.
Maybe your option is to flash latest fw to phone with flashtool
Hm... Yeah no, my phone does not give me fingerprint option at all anymore. One day last week when I was about to unlock the screen all I had to do was to swipe(the power button does nothing at all of I try to fingerprint), and when I went to Settings to check it out there wherent any option for Fingerprint anymore... The same result when I had the phone on Safety mode to test there to. No Fingerprint option anywhere. But, when I go to Settings-Apps I can find Fingerprint there. But the option to use it is all gone on my phone now.

ok this is super weird like you've got "EU model" before and not anymore after OTA update?
if this important to you i would try re-flash EU model lastest ROM, maybe with flashtool ithink you dont need root\unlocked BT for flashing stock roms

Yeah, I dont understand what happend. Had my phone for 1year(and its norwegian) and with fingerprint and then all of the sudden the other day when I was going to unlock the screen all I had to do was to swipe. No fingerprint, no code no nothing. Now I cant find the Fingerprint option in my phone anymore. (I only find the application in Settings - Apps - Fingerprint) but no sign of it anywhere else or geting it to work.
I've checked for it in Safety mode, I have tryed Repair in Sony bridge, and I have tryed Factory reset. But still same problem.
My phone is not locked to a carrier, and I dont know about all this flash, roots ect you guys/girls talk about in here, haha. Think I have to take it to the shop... Hate sending away my phone tough
