Is this safe to use?

Any risk of bricking?

Even if I brick my phone, can I restore it to original state?

EDIT: I'm looking to update my android to 4.0.4 ( I don't really like stock 2.3.6 :c) and I want the safest way and most stable way to do this! IS this mod good or is it better to go with Cyanogen 4.0.4?

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andwie:
It's safe and doesn't risk any brick.

But not all brick can be repaired.

You can try MiniCM9 in my signature. It's stabler than CM9 Nightly.

Is anyone else having issues with their Nexus 5 not finding their 5ghz Wifi network?

My N7 does have some issues however if I toggle the airplane mode on it, it will find and connect the 5ghz network.

However, on the N5 toggling airplane mode, restarting the phone, nothing seems to find it.

The network is not hidden, though did try just entering the WiFi information to the phone to give it a try and it still didn't find or connect.

I downloaded Wifi analyzer and it won't find the network either.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBelter:
Not much help this mate other than it's working for me
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
My N5 wouldn't detect my wifi signal at home. I changed the wifi channel on the router from 13 to 11, then the phone could see it fine.

After doing this, I recall having exactly the same problem last year with the N4 (before I sent it back).

I use channel 13 normally because there's less interference from surrounding wifi routers in my street, but for some reason Nexus phones don't like it :-/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermind278:
May I ask what channel you are on?

20 or 40mhz?

I have tried on both 20 and 40mhz and normally have my 5ghz on channel 52.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fintheman:
Using channel 13 is a big no, no as it will cause interference in 2,483.5–2,500 MHz which is highly restricted by the FCC.

Also, using channel 13 does not negate co-channel interference from channels 9, 10, 11, 12, either.

The only channels you should ever use for 802.11 2.4GHz band should be 1, 6, 11 - In other markets, channel 14.

I'd recommend the app called wifi analyzer and find the channel that has the highest dBm rating out of 1, 6 and 11 and use it.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

I know you said it is not hidden but - sometimes the SOHO devices will seperate the SSID's 802.11N between the 2.4 and 5 band in the settings so I'd say double check them. Also, the wifi analzyer will not pick up a network unless it is sending SSID beacons.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

The 20 and 40mhz is the bandwidth you'll use - the 20 will be the slower one as you have less RF to pass data over.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRyb:
You're not alone. Mine doesn't see my 5GHz network either, just my 2.4GHz. I've restarted router, restarted phone, no avail. I have my channels set to automatic.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starfire-1:
Same here. The phone initially saw the 5GHz WiFi upon the first start up, but after the initial update, it cant see it anymore.

EDIT: So I loaded WiFi Analyzer and went into settings. I noticed that the some "available" 5 GHz channels were selected: 36, 40, 44, and 48. I set my router to channel 44 (5220 MHz), lower channel extension, dynamic channel width, N/A mixed and the phone can see it again. However, there is only one bar (it's always low on this router anyway).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyTomato76:
I only get 1 or 2 bars on 5ghz vs 4 on 2.4ghz
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fintheman:
As of now, it looks like it won't connect to UNII-2 5GHz channels (channels 52-140), which require the use of DFS. Can anyone see if they can use UNII-3 Channels? 149-165?

Is ANYONE having success connecting to any channels 52-165??? I'm curious if this is a SW or HW related issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starfire-1:
For what it's worth, I set my TPLINK TL-WDR3600 v1 w/ DD-WRT 5GHz radio to Channel 149 (5745 MHz), N/A Mixed, Dynamic width, upper extension channel and I was *successful* seeing and connecting to the AP.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fintheman:
So, my next thing to find out.

Does a client (The broadcom) chip have the ability to see if DFS is used or not used? If so, the device may not allow you to use it since those channels on UNII-2 are supposed to be limited to only using those channels if it is used.

This may be what is to come due to the FCC coming down on 802.11AC and mimo as of late.

I guess the next question is. Does anyone have DFS on their 5Ghz capable home router device? If you turn it on, I believe you may be able to use those channels. (Theory)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starfire-1:
Again for what it's worth, I enabled "radar detection" in the advanced settings of the 5GHz radio in dd-wrt for my router and set the frequency to auto. It settled on channel 36 and I did connect.

I don't know if the router is DFS enabled and if dd-wrt properly enabled it. Is there a way of prompting the radar detection to force a channel change?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fintheman:
I read up on the settings - Enable radar and auto channel for DD WRT - Now is there a way to force it to change? If you had another device capable of broadcasting on 5Ghz, I imagine it may be possible.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starfire-1:
<grin> I thought of that. I have another 5GHz access point and tried to bump out the DFS(?) router. I set the same frequency on the interfering AP and then re-applied the first radio's settings. The first AP settled on a different frequency. I tried bumping it again, and it *appears* as if it settled back to the original frequency. However, I can reapply the settings without changes and I don't always return to the same frequency. Also, my Nexus 5 can't find it when it's on 36 (where it settled) so I'm back on 149 fixed for now.

Update - Turns out that my second AP auto-selected 36 which explained why it masked the first AP's signal. Now they are both happily separate (36 and 149).

Hope this helps, but it's not terribly scientific.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermind278:
I decided to keep playing around with the settings and apparently putting the WiFi on channel 161 seems to have done the trick.

Thanks guys!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integramodder:
So I got my setup working. I've got two routers and offset them with channels 161 and 165. I'll have to see how this shakes out over the next week to see if I'm dropping connections on any of the devices...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deaflyz:
Hey guys,

by all accounts it appears as a new SW restriction as of Lollipop official release, since my n5 could connect to any channel in 5GHz band (EU regulatory domain, so only channels 36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64,100,104,108,112,120,128,132,136,140) on every 4.4.x release and on first 5.0 dev preview (i didn't try installing any other builds). 20mhz/40mhz/80mhz wide, does not matter, all were working just fine (nexus5 is 40mhz capable though). Right after flashing release version of 5.0 posted on google images I am not seeing any DFS channels anymore, so only 36,40,44,48 are there, since I'm in Europe. But that explains why some of you see 149-165 channels in US for example, since they do not require DFS scanning. Enabling DFS scanning for testing purposes on those lower channels (36-48 for ex) makes no sense, since there are no military or weather radars in this space and regulatory bodies do not require it anyway.

This is a pretty bad move from the google side, since while home users don't really care about switching their home routers back to non-DFS channels, in the enterprise world those phones are going to use 2.4Ghz primarily, since nobody is going to adjust the network when someone decides to block a spectrum on some clients. Now considering the fact that 802.11ac is 5GHz only, why would you buy a phone 802.11ac capable that doesn't support most of the 5GHz spectrum?

Hope to see the change in the upcoming update if any.

Cheers,

Slava.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] shipshore64:
Hi everyone, and thanks for your time.

My issue is with my recently rooted Verizon Note II running Paranoid Android 3.99. Everything is great so far, except when I'm using my phone, and the ringer volume is turned up, a strange, seemingly random noise is made by the phone, sort of a futuristic "boop" (That looked less silly in my head haha.)

The noise doesn't happen when the screen is turned off, or when the phone is on vibrate or mute. Could it be HALO? It's very annoying, and while sometimes it is okay, other times it will make the noise up to 12 times in a row.

Also, no notification pops up on HALO or my notification bar.

Thanks for the help.

next, did you disable any apps?. the ota checks the system integrity, the reason for unrooting, and if there are any changes the ota will fail. so re-enable any apps you may have turned off.

perhaps do a factory reset from recovery if the above does not work, or delete the ota from the the sdcard and try to download it again as it could be a bad download

[Q] Factory reset after following "How to Update to VRUEMJ7 and Keep Root" guide?

I followed the "How to Update to VRUEMJ7 and Keep Root" guide and had a question about doing a factory reset afterwards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I do a factory reset, I will lose root and won't be able to re-root since VRUEMJ7 does not have a root method. Correct?

The reason I ask is because I've been having weird issues with a few apps showing graphics artifacts and then crashing (namely Google Now and 1Weather). For example, when I open up Google Now, the "cards" start to slide in and then I get graphics artifacts and then it closes. No error, no force close message, nothing. However, it doesn't always do it and if I go back a second time to Google Now, it usually opens just fine.
