I installed the screen protector that came with my SGP ultra thin case and have had no problems with the proximity sensor. I believe the one that came with mine is the ultra crystal since it is the only one they have on their website. It only has the cutout for the earpiece.

Got an SGP case and glas protector on the way. Hopefully its here tomorrow so I'll let you know how it is.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ca77:
Proximity sensor uses light instead of sound, meaning you'll not have a significant amount of change with a transparent cover. Unless it's really, really thick, of course.

Also I should note that I've used several Spigen SGP screen protectors (I work with SlashGear.com and do reviews and whatnot) and I've never seen a screen protector (even the thick glass ones) have a significant effect on proximity sensors.

Hey guys, I'm trying to connect my Nexus 5 to my Windows 7 laptop via MTP. However, it never shows up in the "My computer" directory.

I let it install default adb drivers, I've even tried the "naked drivers" from the Nexus 5 forum. It just never shows up. Any help?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweet_anesthesia:
MTP Problems with linux

I have run into MTP connection problems while copying my old phones (GNex) contents on to my new Nexus 5 with my laptop running Fedora 19. Loading my old GNex contents on the laptop via MTP was smooth. Then I switched the phones. The Nexus 5 connects as expected and i can access the "sdcard" folder tree in gnome. But during the copying process (> 1000 files, mostly photos, some app-data) the connection constantly resets after 20-100 files. The phone states "process.media stopped" or something similar and the file-copy halted. I needed to unplug and plug the phone back in several times and restart the copying from the beginning. Quite annoying - thank god i rarely need to copy such an amount of files.

Anyone experiencing similar problems?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theproskater:
I had the same problem too, on Windows 7. Here's what fixed it for me:

1. With the phone plugged in to USB, open up Device Manager

2. You should see an "Android" category, so expand that and right-click on whatever is in there (in my case, it said Google Nexus ADB Interface) and click Uninstall

3. In the confirm dialog that pops up, check the "Delete the driver software..." box, then click OK.

4. Once the driver is finished uninstalling, reboot your Nexus 5 while it's still connected to your PC (important that it is still plugged in!)

5. At some point during the phone reboot, Windows should say it's installing new drivers. The Nexus 5 should appear in My Computer shortly.

Raghu: I am also facing the very same problem. Factory Reset also didnt fix the issue.

copying of huge sized files works fine. copying of many files (such as image files) gets stuck after 20 or 100 files.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egandt:
I have a pair of new Nexus 5 phones (yes 2), now I can get the ADB driver if I enable android debugging to work, but I can not for anything get the phones to work in MTP mode so I can move files to them. I've tried everything I can find online. I see Nexus5 with a triangle next to it in device manger and no matter what driver I've tried it always says wrong driver. Nor does it automatically locate and install the proper driver, as it should even following the steps provided in this thread. Thus I have 2 phones and no way to access them at all currently.

I can not believe how much trouble just transferring files is, there is something very wrong with these phones when I have to waste over an hour to copy files to them.

For people cannot find above mentioned category, mine showed ACER ADB Interface under C before it was fixed. After fixing it, there is Nexus 5 under Portable Devices folder.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egandt:
Figured out the issue, it was the fact that MTP requires the media feature pack if on Windows N, once the pack is installed and patched and rebooted (many times) it works.

A good way to fix MTP driver problems in XP is unzip the Windows Media Player 11 (wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe) installer and run WindowsXP-MSCompPackV1-x86.exe or umdf.exe not sure which one fixes it. Then try update the MTP drivers.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bamdadkhan:
hi everyone,

could someone elighten me what changed regarding memory management in the latest cm10.1 freexperia builds? fxp235 seems to be the most stable (no screen rotation lags and ANRs) but galaxy on fire hd closes on the last mission (just like it does on stock-based roms). this doesn't happen on later builds (or on cm10.2), but those are unfit for daily use.

i suspect this has something to do with the OOM values, but since changing those did not help, i'm unsure. :/

thanks,

bamdad
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bamdadkhan:
well, fxp244 is out, and the rotation bug is still there. it's not present in the cm10.2 version of the same build, but that has other issues. ;) i know these guys are doing this in their spare time, and i respect their work, but why break something that's been working fine a few builds ago? sadly, i'm not that great of a developer to fix it for myself.

anyone have any idea where to start? i tried compiling libsurfaceflinger.so from official cm10 (.3 stable) sources, but that didn't help.. : /

After installing Vanir, I don't know what went wrong !!! it was freezing then after trying to charge it, it bricked!!!!

I searched the forume and found major two ways

FIRST

RuedasLucas Here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1932123

i followed the info. correctly and stuck in the same problem the man in the thread have, I am stuck in LG logo

so i tied the second

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40174748&postcount=9&nocache=1

and i am stuck in installing " LGmobile Support Tool " because i am in windows 8 and it is not compitable with it. every time trying to install it seems not responding.

so i am stuck now and donot know how to unbrick it !!! no one tell me to set up win 7 because i donot have one
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
The LG support tool works fine on my Windows 8 64-bit version. Look for the thread on 'Flashing a KDZ with pictures' and follow it to the letter.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
did u install gapps ? vanir installation never had a problem. about windows 8 x64 i can confirm the support tool is working because i had them some months ago ( now im on ubuntu x64 ).

and its not a good idea if on some little mistake u try go back to stock. the reason u tried flash vanir was to go away from stock. if u flash back to stock then in a few days will want to flash again a custom. so try again and do it right !

also dont take off battery. no need. maybe this battery trick is history. i never did that. i just long pressed power to reboot and then i just pressed a few times the vol down ( not hold ).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arrivals18:
Actually i did this before posting from that thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069723

between step 3 and 4 it give me " app. not responding "
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arrivals18:
i didn't catch it. But if u mean i reflash vanir, The mobile is " dead now !!!! " so i must unbrick to any firmware then reflash
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Try disabling any anti-virus first just to make sure that's not interfering. I've never heard of the proces freezing there before.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arrivals18:
Ok is the tool take some time to load if internet connection is not good ?!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
It shouldn't make any real difference, no.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] black@pirate:
You did disable the Modem, right? And sometimes, the process seems to take a little long. You have to be patient.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
mmmmmm.... if at the end u cant do anything and since, propably, your bootloader is unlocked , u can reinstall the recovery using the adb ( use cmd: adb reboot bootloader and then, when u are there , hit: adb install [recovery zip file path/name] ). eh the rest u know them :) so u dont need to use any kdz and tire urself with that boring procedure
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arrivals18:
Ok i already installed win. 7 and installed the tool that take really short time.

i connect the phone to usb in the mode and choose in the tool " recover from wrong update " it downloaded nearly 573 mb. and installed it in the phone, and when the phone restarts, the phone sticks in LG logo . SO what now !!!!!!!

Yep. This may happened, when i opened the bootloader i use the code 3845#*880#>Boatloader>check boatloader> Unlock,

soi knew that it's unlocked. Am i wrong ? Guys i done both the first and the second method and all stuck in LG logo

in the first i used V20C_00.kdz and did the rights steps and also stuck !!!! so what now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Try to flash V20A with LG Flash Tool and to unlock the bootloader this:

http://www.4shared.com/rar/HFf4newq/LGO4X-UNLOCK-BOOTLOADER.html

Hope it helps, I unlock mine with that, tooked me a few tries...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
The first thing to do if it sticks on the LG Logo is to boot into the LG recovery and do a factory reset - just to make sure. You often have to do this after flashing a new KDZ anyway.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arrivals18:
OK look what i did :

1- connect device with usb cable and holding vol- till it get s/w update

2-when pressing adb reboot bootloader command it gives me unknown error

3- fastboot oem unlock : it gives me device not found

Also tried :

1- connect device to usb cable with holding power+ vol+ to recover mode

2-when pressing adb reboot bootloader command its ok

3- fastboot oem unlock : it gives me FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))

finished. total time: 0.587s
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arrivals18:
HOW ?!!!!!!!!

when pressing power with vol+ it gives me the message " This mode is for data backup at service center. After removing and reattachment of battery press power key to reboot and keep using phone" so what how can wipe date/factory reset ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
Power and vol-, not+
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arrivals18:
yep yep yep it's done and now i see the rom >>> now can i root unlock bootloader flash to vanir or not ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
i told you earlier at my post here , that you dont need to flash kdz and go back to stock if ur final goal is a custom rom. u could reinstall recovery using adb bootloader. nevermind -_- u just do things harder for u. bootloader is unlocked u cant unlock the unlocked. bootloader isnt locking again when u just force the stock rom in. there is another procedure u must do to lock it. u can install recovery ( if u havent ) and just install a custom rom

EDIT: you dont need this anymore but ill explain.

adb is used to force files into the device. its a way to communicate with the phone using the pc. u can use the adb to install whatever u like but if u are not sure that the thing u are trying to install is ok for the device, then u will have a problem.

so , since your bootloader is already unlocked, you can go in adb bootloader and force the recovery in.

open cmd:

Lets say i use the teamwin recovery. ill rename it to be easy and save it to desktop. my file is: recovery.zip

open cmd as administrator and go to desktop: cd .....[path to ur desktop]

1. adb start-server

2. adb reboot bootloader

3. fastboot fash recovery recovery.zip

thats it. 3 commands is 10 seconds work. u dont need to go back to stock rom to install a custom rom. :D

You are absolutely wrong!

The /sdcard partition is the area on the internal memory that can still be found on older devices ( up to around 2012 ) and was intended for user data such as pictures, photos and downloads, but never for an app's data.

[General Questions and Answers] magestic1995:
Hello all,

I was just trying to understand the whole thing behind why IOS can through out their updates to all the phones with out having to deal with the carriers getting in the way. I can understand each company having to update their own phones (i.e. LG, Samsung...) but why do they have to go through the carriers to update and Apple does not. As I have read carriers push back updates by months.

Any help guys?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 5525469:
In a simple sense, carriers like to add their own "extras" to all the phones they sell. In IOS, these "extras" come in the form of apps simply added to the ROM. Up until Android KitKat (or at least that is what we are told), carriers added these "extras" to Android by modifying the ROM itself (which you can imagine would take a lot longer than to simply make and add apps). Hope this helps. :cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] Sanjay:
And there are countable number of modles of ios phones.

Can anybody on earth can say how many modles of android phones are there????Impossible.

Hence apple will make all carriers to show /pop up updates....:thumbup:
