Wrong Test Keys - OTA update failed

Hi Guys,

so this morning my SW3 told me there was a system update, cool, so i said yes to the update and let it do its thing.

on coming back, the os version was still the same (LDZ22D) which i thought was odd.

I then did a search and found that there was indeed a new version out (LCA43) and thought something sus was afoot.

I got the twrp from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/smar...-easy-t3107501 and booted from twrp

i then pushed the rom i downloaded form here http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/08/21...e-watch-faces/ and promptly tried to flash it like i would any custom rom i would normally flash on any of my other android devices.

I got an error, saying it was expecting "test keys" from a LAZ22D device or a LWX49K device, and that I had LRX22G test keys.

I also tried an ADB sideload which also didn't work.

Am i doing something wrong? Has anyone else ever encountered this?

Full disclosure, I also installed supersu a few months ago, but have had many factory resets since then (new roms on the paired fone) which i wouldn't have thought was an issue?

Cheers for any help you can give :confused:

Some battery test results

Today did some basic tests to see how the batter compared to a Sony Z Ultra.

Be advised this is not a fair test, the ZU is 2 years old. While the device has been properly maintained and not stressed a lot, its still with a two year old battery.

Screen on ( ZU: 45%, X2: 50% ( brighter then ZU to compensate the battery somewhat )), no activity.

ZU: Lost about 11% in 75 minutes.
X2: Lost about 4% in 75 minutes.

At that rate the devices will last:

ZU: 11h15 minutes
X2: 31h10 minutes

Now this matches up with a review i read where they state that the X2 will last 35 hours with screen on.

The double to triple battery life seems to match up with the reviews i read before. Its powering a bigger screen, higher resolution, has more memory ( 3GB vs 2GB ), and still triple the ( 2 year old ) ZU, despite given a extra handicap with a high screen usage.

Some benches:

AnTuTu:

ZU: 39.900
X2: 49.200

About 25% better benchmark performance. Memory had clearly more bandwidth, faster internal flash, CPU score was a bit of a head breaker. Faster on multithread and float ( probably because of the 64 bit ) but slower in the single core ( pure ) integer performance.

Screens:

If both devices are put next to each other, the ZU its color looks more washed ( grayish ) out compared to the X2. The X2's color are more stronger.

So far its a great ZU replacement.

Things i do not like: The screen has a higher output for everything ( everything looks bigger on the screen ) compared to the ZU where they reduced the rendering size for the font/etc, giving more content on the screen.

This needs a fix somehow ( do not know if this can be changed with a setting or needs a custom rom ).

That is it. Not a lot of time right now.

VIDEO- LG G4 vs Note 5 Speed Test

In this video we match the Note 5 against the LG G4 in an all out brawl to the death. The first round tests the phones ability to launch apps while the second round tests multitasking performance. I was very much surprised by the results. The Note 5 has to reload every app in the second round while I found the on screen buttons of the LG G4 to be a bit cumbersome for the purposes of this test. Jumping to the homescreen to launch the next app was much easier with the Note 5's physical button. Which phone has performed better for you?

Alarm muted when using 'side keys behaviour' - can somebody test (quick test!)

Hi I was wondering if I was alone on this but ever since the new update, my alarm would not sound (but screen turns on) if the alarm is using either the Snooze or Dismiss 'Side keys behaviour'. The alarm does sound when the side keys behaviour is set to none though! I've tried both using mp3 files and the default ringtones.

Extra details:
I found that using default ringtones will make the alarm sound BUT for only half a second and never again.
Phone is not on silent mode and alarm volume is up.
Phone is up to date, tried restarting but no differences

Thanks for reading!.

100s of Themes Now Available, the Newest and Best just need a test!

Hey guys just need a tester to verify for me that my Theme Park or the individual themes I've ported work for the Note4 as well. Theres over a 100 to choose from: You must have S6 Apps or be using an "S6 Ported" ROM to have really good results otherwise results may very as to how well or full the theme will appear.
100+ THEMES FOR S6 PORTED APPS ON NOTE 4, 3, S5& S4
Individual Themes (a directory, download a zip and flash in FlashFire or Custom Recovery)

If you cant get a certain app to theme its more than likely not a good port. I recommend Albe95's Ports their great!
I also would like my Theme Park tested it does a little more than just visual theme:
dOPE Layers Theme Park
You can use the Theme Park no matter what kind of ROM your on because theres themes for Lollipop or for S6 Lollipop!
to Install download the .zip and run through Custom Recovery, it is built with Aroma!

Thank me if you enjoy, I helped you or donate if you want more releases like this!

Just testing something...

Stuck in TWRP after trying to run a WCDMA test from the engineer's menu

So, I entered the engineer's menu on my LG G3 (T-Mobile: D851) by dialing 3845#*851# on my numpad, and I tried to run a WCDMA test. After doing so, my phone shut off and I was launched into TWRP (v2.7.1.0). I tried to restore my phone with an old backup, but it did not work. I'm not sure why. I've also tried factory resetting it. I simply rooted my phone when I bought it to apply some performance tweaks like saving battery by hibernating apps with Greenify, so I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to solving problems like this. What should I do?

Thanks for your help :)

LG Stress Test: Beaches, Camping, and Horses!

Wanted to do a quick review of my LG G4 experience under less than friendly conditions. We recently went to Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia for a 2 day camping trip. It's a great vacation if you have never been there. There are wild horses on the island as well as other wildlife. And the Carnegie houses are there too (they once owned the island). What follows is my experience with the G4.

Battery Life
Without easy access to electricity I was a little worried about my battery making it through our trip. We spent a solid day and night camping out on the island. The first day I started with a full charge around 8am and faced a varying set of conditions that really tested my battery.

Being that we were on the island and I was shooting pictures all day (75+ the first day) the battery performed pretty well. I got about 2.5hrs screen time and 8hrs total on time. I believe the extensive number of pictures, combined with Google Photo Sync, Spotty 3g/4g/no connection at times, combined with 100% brightness all day due to the sun, accounted for the less than average battery life. If I had it to do over again I would have turned off data for the day until I absolutely needed it and/or I would have turned google photo-sync off until I had gotten all the pictures and had found a power source to recharge.

At the 15% mark I turned on the battery saving mode and the phone was marginally useable. The screen gets dark so it's not the best usage experience on power-saving mode.

The second day was much better, I had a chance to recharge that morning and my battery was a little better for day 2 because I put the phone in airplane mode all day and took another 75+ pictures. Didn't record the screen on time but it seemed to perform much better on day 2 due to not having to sync with the photos and because it didn't have to constantly search for 3g/4g towers.

Camera
Extremely happy with the camera. Performed well in all aspects. Nothing negative to say about it.

Display
The myth/worry that I had was whether one could easily use this thing in broad daylight all day due to it's screen brightness. The answer for me is a resounding YES!! I was in bright daylight all day and had no trouble seeing the screen. Was on the beach for a period of time and I could easily see all my camera shots on the viewfinder and I could see the screen for my normal app usage (texting, internet, twitter, etc.). So for me there is no concern about using the G4 in bright daylight. It was fine for me.

Conclusion
Under the most extreme conditions I believe the G4 performed pretty well. If I had it to do over again I believe I could squeeze another hour+ out of the battery if I turn data off and/or put the phone in airplane mode. Well there you have it. Hope this helps someone! [Keep in mind Root was achieved while I was on the island. So if I would have had it rooted with greenify I believe this would have helped battery life as well]
