      @thepossessor then I'm stumped sorry different model may well be the issue. I would now post a bug report if you havn't already. If I come up with anything else I will get back to you. Lets hope someone else can shed light on this.
      Have you tried the welcome and install group just in case

        Sorry I had a typo. It is a M461 too of course.

        The forum search did not return anything really valuable.

        It is files as bug . I guess I just have to sit and wait.

          I made some further tests by rebooting at different points of basic setup process.
          This way I found out that booting is not working anymore after timezone setup.
          I then first removed timezone settings with adb shell in the first boot. After this I was able to reboot successfully multiple times.
          I then configured a different timezone. After this I could still reboot fine.
          To crosscheck I configured the timezone I usually choose. The problem was back,

          "Europe/Berlin" works but "Europe/Luxembourg" does not.

          Just weird.

            @thepossessor I wonder if this is linked to calendar and clock crashing? Both crash after putting in settings or account settings. They don't stop the thing booting up though.
            Glad you can boot up now are you still on dev. The updates may fix the problem as they roll out.

              @lakotaubp yes I am still on devel channel.

              As for the crashing of clock app. It is like most apps on MX4. If they crash when they ask for additional permission then:

              • Just uninstall it.
              • Reboot phone.
              • Reinstall it.
              • Setting additional permission then usually works.

              This behaviour was reported long long time ago. I have no clue why this still is so.

              Well actually I am not sure if this is what you meant with clock crashing.

                  @lakotaubp - it does usually help with crashes that happen when the apps prompt for access to additional privileges. It must be a bug with the app itself in your case. I am not using the calendar much so no ideas on the one. The app starts - this much I can say. ,-)

                    @thepossessor Hi again just wondering if your startup timezone issue has cleared up now we've had more updates.

                      @lakotaubp Hi, actually I didn't do any new tests because the issue I opened on their bugtracker does not show any progress. They even still consider it unconfirmed. Issue 696
                      So I guess a new test is not worth the effort. Or else nobody cares to update bugtracker?

                        @thepossessor Hi have just read the GitHub bug tracker all the unconfirmed means is that no-one else has so far reported the same issue. All of which makes your glich very odd. There has to be more than three mx4s out there. I certainly have not been able to reproduce the issue. If you do try again before 16.04 stable rolls out please let me know how it goes.

                        P.S the easiest way to see/report logs is probably the Logviewer app in the Openstore

                          @lakotaubp Hi again. After doing all available updates, on my working phone I have set the timezone to Luxembourg. Then I tried several reboots. In order of appearance: 1x Fail, 2x Success, 7x Fail . I then had to do a wipe install . Still it hangs on reboot as soon as I pick the timezone I normally need.

                          Btw. a logviewer app is only useful if the phone still starts up.

                          But please let me to see if I got you right. You are able to set timezone to Luxembourg and have several successful boots after this? If this is true, I need your phone - lol

                            @thepossessor I am very unhappy to report that having a Luxembourg time zone stuffs up your mx4.
                            Just tried it and no boot up past Meizu bright white screen. if anyone wants to try that time zone on another model fell free and post back here. Will update bug report if not today tomorrow, possibly after reflashing my mx4.: (

                              @lakotaubp I hope you had a backup somewhere.

                              The positive side is that you can now confirm the bug on bugtracker .

                              Sorry again your phone got stuck too.

                                No problem its good to confirm this, though why pick on Luxembourg I'm not sure ; ) Joking apart is it a Luxembourg thing or a UTC +2 thing and an mx4 only issue or are more device affected. Maybe someone else is UTC +2 without issue and can let us know. Again might try another device tomorrow but not sure yet.
                                As for the mx4 I'd left that in basic setup to play about with anyway so no great problem. So I guess you don't want my phone now😜

                                  @lakotaubp we have UTC+1 and UTC+2 here in Spain. No problem with krillin or hammerhead devices.

                                    @lakotaubp Other UTC +2 seem to work fine (e.g. Berlin) Also other devices (e.g N5) have no issue with Luxembourg. I am not sure if there is other timezones affected (there is so many)

                                    Haha I don't need your phone then indeed. 😉

                                      Right then its only people in Luxembourg with an mx 4. Good job we don't know anyone like that then. : )
