[Nexus 5 General] xdp:
This is essentially my fear and why I quit messing with ROMs awhile ago and favor Nexus devices. Even though ROMs were available, the experience was just never perfect and there were always bugs and new updates to flash to fix them. I felt like I was setting up and configuring my phone more than I was using it. The G2 has the same SoC as the N5 and that may help, but I'd hate to get it and find that CM 11 is never perfect on it. Wasn't the N4 based loosely on the Optimus G? And that didn't help development?

Keep in mind I had the GSM GNex which had better battery life. It just felt like it was draining at a similar rate as I browsed the web and stuff....I would check every few moments and it would have dropped a percent each time. I'm not sure how much better the G2 would be in practice, but sites like GSMArena report more than double the battery life of the N5. I don't know how accurate that is, or how much that would change running AOSP.
[Nexus 5 General] toprock23:
Optimus G had one version with 8mp cam and another with 13mp (sprint) so u know what kind of mess that caused. But besides the cam issue I also originally thought roms would be easier to port, but still not perfect. From what I understand, LG is pretty closed off with its drivers, unlike Samsung. LG is not known for having a dev community unlike the other OEMs.
[Nexus 5 General] crawlgsx:
CM10/Carbon/PA/etc... all AOSP(ish) and run amazing. I have no problems with any of them on my G2.

There are no issues with reverting to stock for OTA updates if you wanted to go that route.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temka:
Hi guys,

I guess I am the unlucky one. Received my N5 yesterday, started playing with it late evening (21:00'ish). Installed apps, copied over some music, etc - everything worked perfect! I went to sleep...

This morning when I woke up, I saw THIS (see attach). It is clearly a hardware issue - either the screen or GPU. When you switch the phone on, the "vertical lines" appear after about a second. They may change intensity or pattern when you flick desktops, etc. They may even go away after you have had your screen on for some minutes (once it gets "warm" enough). Switch the phone off, wait for some 20 seconds, switch it back on - voila! It's back!

Anyone else experienced this? (hopefully not)

Wow that sucks big time. I dont have that issue on my Nexus 5 16gb. Hope you get a replacement soon.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temka:
Just called Google. The support was very good, no silly questions like "have you tried switching it off and on again?". A replacement device will be with me within some days *fingerscrossed*
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenophyte:
You are not the only one, I have it also but arguably worse. Below is a picture of mine (the only post with a picture on that page).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temka:
Shhiiieeeeeeete....

Yes, that is exactly what I have, but on mine only lower 3cm of the screen are affected. The 'banding' sometimes goes away if I play with the phone for a while. Sometimes it comes back. Sometimes it flickers.

Replacement device is already on its way, I suppose?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubakuba:
Humn. Odd that it cuts off at that fraction of the screen...or I'd say GPU banding.

I'm guessing screen. That sucks man, sorry to hear that!

But yeah...Google seems to give the customers the benefit of the doubt in terms of not making them feel like idiots.

May I ask...

Are they sending a replacement before you send yours in?

And I'm assuming a "new" device and not a "refurbished" (doubt they even have 'em at this point) device?

Major bummer if not. If so...that's pretty cool, and I suppose you can deal with a shotty screen for a few days.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temka:
Well, the 'return' and 'replacement' happen independently. It works like this:

1) Some 30 mins after we spoke, the guy emailed me a link. I click on it and order a replacement device, delivered to my address.

2) An amount of GBP 349 is getting *frozen* on my Google Wallet account (they do not take the money, but reserve it as a deposit). My Wallet is linked to a debit card, I checked it and I see 349 GBP reserved.

3) The old phone is to be sent to them via UPS. I should attach a "Prepaid UPS label" to the package so that Google could cover the return shipping costs.

4) once they receive the broken phone, the money on my Google Wallet account are released.

I can send an old phone to them now, or I can wait for the new one to arrive. They have asked me politely to use good packing materials, so I'll probably wait for the new phone to arrive and then will just cannibalize the card box :)

And as far as I know, it HAS TO be a brand new phone. I have called them some hours after opening the box, so technically I could have just returned it under the 'distance purchase' regulations and claimed my money back (to buy another phone afterwards).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubakuba:
Cool, I was just curious as mine is "out for delivery" today.

Fingers crossed :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davies_90:
Looks to be a GPU related issue.I used to repair phones for a living and see a LOT of this with the HTC one and the one x. Great that Google are replacing no questions. Hope is isolated and not a manufacturing defect. :)

:( thats too bad:D ur so lucky btw:PP i waiting to arrive i can't wait also i dont know if i would upgrade from my n4 to n5:( what do you think?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temka:
Ok. After RMAing the first device due to a faulty screen (GPU banding) I have finally received a replacement one.

- no dead pixels (at least after a quick test using PixelTest)

- almost no rattle (I mean I can move the buttons with my finger and they'll probably become looser, but no rattle now, shaking my phone as much as I want ))

- screen is good - no GPU banding, otherwise I wouldn't have been writing this.

- no lightbleed noticed (again, using PixelTest on 'very dark' backgrounds)

- vibration sounds quiet. As it should.

- vibration strength is probably a liiiiiiiittle bit weaker than on my 1st N5 when pressing softkeys, unlocking, etc. For calls - it buzzes very well.

All in all, I think, I have finally got a very good device *fingers-and-toes-crossed-ten-times*.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batphilt:
Hi,

I'm currently on android 4.1.2 and every time I try to update to cyanogen 10.2, I have the same problem.

I followed meticulously the flash procedure but when I boot, the phone asks me a certain number of times for my pin number (I noticed that this number is random). After that I entered my pin x times, the phone unlocks but I have no network connectivity, and can't send texts or make calls.

I looked for people with the same problem and only found this link

and found that I had exactly the same problem as `tux821`, and tried the solution offered by codeworkx by flashing the RILs at this link

That didn't work, I thought that maybe it was related to the sim lock so I bought `GalaxSim Unlock` but that did not do the trick either.

`tux821` said that he got it working by doing this:

I had to flash back to a 4.1 ROM but I'm hoping that someone can help me to avoid contacting Cellunlocker

PS: my IMEI was correct

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batphilt:
Well... I flashed again CM to give you those informations and I had no problems at all. It's kinda disturbing because I did the same procedure as I did the last two times and this time it worked perfectly.

Just for info for some potentials users that might have the same problem, here's what I did:

-- Reflash to official 4.1.2

-- Root the rom with CF-root

-- Install CWM from rom manager

-- Reinstall CM

I'm sorry to have bothered you with something that works, hope this can help some other users :p

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] appelflap:
Okay, new to this. Started up a gear yesterday and I'm impressed. Now I want to go further... (already bored lol). Any links to docs on how to develop for this thing. I already know that this it is standard Android and that one can write standalone apps the usual way for this thing. What I'm interested in is how the communication model works with companion apps on the phone. I suspect it will be done by running services on the phone, but how can one interact with those services via a Bluetooth connection. Or is it event driven?

I'm really surprised that Samsung hasn't publiced anything about this on their site? What? Don't they like developers to jump on the bandwagon?

I don't believe the SDK has been released yet, welcome to the gear community nether the less.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] appelflap:
So you think they work with special APIs? Or just the standard APIs? I saw there were already some interesting apps on the Samsung market like for example Zine. It has a controller architecture. On the Gear side you get headlines pushed and by tapping on a headline the Zine app is opened with the corresponding article. Can this can be done with standard Android APIs or do we need a special APIs for that. I can imagine that this can be done with the standard event model.

Crap, so it does work with proprietary APIs? Right, might return this thing and wait till it is open for development, cheaper and will have more apps. They should have written that on the box. With their crap apps.

"We need to make sure we're ready to go big."

Thats a quote from the article, they will be released. Although not just yet..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
they never said they will release the sdk to the public, did they? so please stop making false claims.

samsung might as well decide that they are not ready to go big with this generation (lack of wifi, poor software etc). what then?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] appelflap:
It's definitely a remarkable manoeuvre. Another remarkable thing is that everything is kept in the Samsung app store. It's not a secret that Samsung has big ambitions. Maybe they are trying to build their own ecosystem in the Android ecosystem. Maybe they gonna lock the APIs in some kind of Samsung Appstore service. Meh .. let's hope Google comes up with a watch soon and an addition to the Android framework for smart watches.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] n13astra:
I recently tried to release an app to the Samsung store specifically for the gear but it was rejected for "other" reasons...

Seems like the public are just unknowing beta testers of a half-arsed device by Samsung.

Really? What did you try to submit? A simple standalone app that only runs on the gear?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] n13astra:
Tried to release my Calculator app that only runs on the Gear. I've since emailed back asking what "other" reasons they are talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] CLARiiON:
Just speculation on my part --

I have a feeling that Samsung is simply testing waters with this initial release of Gear. They are very serious about it, but they also know that it's not entirely polished product. They wanted to be first to market.

I think the 2rev of Gear might have some radical changes. They could probably build it on top of Kitkat (optimized for low memory devices?) and some new low energy communication protocols. Probably they will then open the APIs for all devs. Maybe we will also see some of the curved screen goodness!

But it's for sure they will never make the Gear compatible with all Android by default -- doesn't make a good business sense. Google will obviously try to make their smartwatch compatible with all Android, and that makes perfect business sense for google.

Reboot the tablet and the screen remains stationary Archos, (locked, does not turn off ) I press the reset , it restarts but always stops at the same point .

Start by pressing volume + and I access the recovery ( standard) do a wipe data + cache , restart, but nothing changes .

Ok , I need the original firmware to flash through recovery (it is the only thing that works ) , I go on the site but there is no trace o_O , I try on xda could not find anything in the end I try and I try a lot of patience with google , it was not easy but in the end I found the original stock firmware . I copy it on the microSD and through the recovery I can flash it , hooray ! : D

heya guys,

I'm on stock FW on my GS4S i9505 and yesterday morning i update to 4.3 OTA.

It was working all day just fine without issues or lag for the matter.

Today morning when i woke up, my phone was plugged into the charger and was turned off.

I turned it on by couple of mins later it would freeze and wont unlock, just black screen with a red light flashing on the top left of the phone.

I had to pull out the battery and put it back everytime i wanted to try and boot it.

I did that 3 times within 10mins and the 4th time it just stopped turning on all together.

Anyone has this issue and maybe can give tips on how to fix this if possible?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: auto updates

You will need to go to SamMobile.com and download the official odin flash firmware

for your phone's exact model and flash it using Odin.

That will get the phone into good working condition with the stock 4.2 firmware.

After that you can use the phones built-in updating system again and most likely it

will work just fine. Just be sure that the battery is at least half full before the phone

starts the auto-update process.

Perhaps you installed some app or game from the playstore which did not play nice

with your phone and caused the 4.3 update to get stuck or it could have been the

battery if it did not have enough charge in it.

You should try to get the phone into download mode to see if it can be Odin flashed.

Hold the volume down key at the same time while holding the the power key down

for 20-30 seconds and see if it goes into download mode.

If it does you have nothing to worry about.

NOTE: before trying download mode be sure to remove the battery for 5 seconds

and replace it, making sure the phone is in a power off state before trying to boot

it into download mode.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokie Smokerson:
I tried with my wife's S4 battery and my colleague's S4 battery.

Also tried with 3 different charges that came with the S4, no dice... :/

I had to take it back to the store, it was under warranty still.. they are sending it back to Samsung and will get it back in 2-3 weeks, same phone repaired or a refurb i guess.

After doing more search and with the help of some falks from #Android @ EFNET, we came to the conclusion that its an issue with the EMMC chip just like the first generation of Note 2 and S3.

What's pissing me off is that Samsung fixed the issue on Note 2 with a new patch of phones, so newer phones didnt have the EMMC issue as far as i can tell. SO why the hell would they still use it for the S4 is beyond me.

Just a word of advice, if this happens to anyone, make sure you run a backup as soon as it boots back up the first time.

In my case, it booted 3 times by removing the battery and putting it back and froze 3 times, there was no 4th.

If i tried to backup the phone the first or second time it booted, i could still have my data to be restored on the new repaired phone.

This should be marked as closed unless some other people with the same issue want to discuss it here.
