[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
Hi all!

I previously owned a Galaxy Nexus that I will use as a reference for my N5. The GN had a quite bad sensitivity to mobile networks, I've compared my RSSI with friends on the same network and RF band, I always had 5-10 dB worse than the others. WiFi was OK but worse than my Nexus 7 (2012) for example.

Now I received my N5 yesterday and I must say it's a let down. The wifi performance is HORRIBLE. Worse than GN!

Yesterday I had my 802.11n router configured to 40MHz channel 5, the N5 was connected at 5Mbit/s even in front of the router. The MacBook, Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus (as well as my wife's gear: laptop, phone, tablet) were all connected at more than that, at least 54Mbit/s

I switched 802.11n to 20MHz, it was better! I had ~60Mbit WiFi and a speedtest yielded 15Mbit/s (my DSL line is ~17Mbit).

But the signal strength is always really weak. My room is just one small wall separated from the router, and this is the second best room for WiFi after the router room. I used to always have really good signal strength, more than 60Mbit/s with my GN. The N5 oscillated from 20 to 5Mbit/s

Now this morning at work the wifi signal is not really good, the GN reports 54Mbit/s "Good" signal strength, while the N5 only reports 54Mbit/s "Weak" signal strength. And it's flaky, it goes on and off and it's not stable.

The GN yields a speed test of 3.6Mbit/s (downlink) and 6.3Mbit/s (uplink); the N5 couldn't even finish the speed test, the wifi connection drops. Before it dropped it was at 600kbit/s.

So I don't think this is normal. I didn't do anything but unlock the bootloader. I havent flashed anything yet.

Am I the only one? What can I do? Google is not really good for customer service...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gzetski:
May be a bum unit. I have the N5 next to my N4, and the N5 generally shows "more bars" and seems to get calls out where the N4 doesn't. No dropped calls yet.

I am using Straight Talk AT&T.

I use the Network Signal Info widget, and just comparing with the N4, it seems to fare a bit better in terms of -dBm and ASU.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keydogg1:
Signal on mine is excellent, as good if not better than my last 2 phones (GS3 and HOX+).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
I sent a message to the google support team related to my purchase. I think I got a defective unit and I need a replacement.

24 hours an no sign of life from google yet....

I wrote my message in english because the UI was in english, I hope that the people that will get my message can read English (I'm French)!!!

Thanks for your input guys. This helped me consider this an issue and file a compain to google.

PS: also, I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the thing, do I need to remove everything and lock the bootloader again before I send it to google? (if they're replacing it of course)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
OK the support replied, they basically said

1. Read the online Google help -- OK yeah sure

2. Check with your ISP for your router settings -- Yeah why the GN, N7, laptops and everything work properly?

3. Do a factory reset -- I had this issue even before I could login to my google account, the first 140MB update took 40mn to download...

Anyway I did do a factory reset from the images google provide on the developer website. I didn't check the online help or my ISP because this is clearly not the issue.

Still the same, it's not working. I've got zero wifi bars and I get disconnected while the GN on the same location gets "Excellent" wifi signal and speed.

update nov 10th: they replied again, I have to ship it back and get a new one (all for free)

that's great except that it's shipping on dec. 11th!!! I'll have to continue to use a no wifi smartphone for a full month!

update nov 12th: yay, it shipped! I'll get the new unit on nov 14th!

update nov 15th: working like a charm. Sent the other one back. Super happy!

Hi, I have the Amazon Prime Streaming Video service, and I was wondering if there is a app, or a way to watch it on my S4,and my Nexus 7 2013? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Red_81:
The only way I have figured out is to load flash player for android from the adobe archives and then use a browser such as Dolphin to access the prime streaming movie page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] markbc01:
Red is right.:(

Amazon has not released their app for the Android market.

Many have tried to extract it from the Kindle Fire & HD to use on

other tablets or phones, but it has not worked. Kind of bad since

Amazon has released the Amazon Instant Video App for IOS. :(

So, the only way to watch is to set your (flash capable) browser to desktop, load flash

and then log on to Amazon and watch the video through the browser

it works, but not as well as the Amazon Instant Video app. . .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rodalpho:
Unfortunately flash is dead in Android 4.4, so this is a short-term solution for everybody, unless you stick with your current device and never upgrade it.

I understand why they might have wanted to keep instant video a kindle exclusive. But once they released it on iOS, it should be on android too.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillerdaller:
I hope I am in the right place to ask this - just tried my first flash of my GS3. With the CM10.2 and a pa-gapps

(pa_gapps-full-4.3-20131102-signed.zip , cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-i9300.zip)

(The pa-gapps chosen because I could not find *any* available gapps from the links shown here related to cm10.2 on my I9300 !?)

- and I used the "full", just to see what the photosphere is all about

My problem is that the lock screen refuses to enable the "camera widget". I can tick it "on", but if I go back it is ticked "off" immediately.

My lockscreen has pin to unlock it (required and enabled by my company, to be able to read (exchange) emails.

I can't find any reasons for this behavior.

This "start the camera directly from the lock screen, just like on any iPhone device" is the last thing I need to show off to my Apple fanboys/girls friends :D

Can anyone help me with the reason for this inability to use "Camera Widget" ?

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
Ok, so there are a lot of threads about soft bricks and bootloops, I have answered in a lot of threads but it seems it needs separate thread to explain how to "revive" your phone from bootloops and soft bricks.

First of all, I don't guarantee that it will work but mostly this tricks do their job.

Tricks were tested and worked on many phones, but I don't take responsibility for hard bricked phones after performing tricks from this thread.

Sometimes you need to repeat process because everything must be done with perfect timing. Also if one method won't work try another.

1. Prepare your phone to press recovery combination and while plugging phone to USB or charger, hold keys and release when samsung logo appear. Do Factory reset in recovery

2. (the best) turn on phone into download mode and don't accept terms, when phone will reboot quick hold recovery combination and release when samsung logo appear. Do Factory reset in recovery

(3). Emergency download mode (when phone wib but don't turn on screen) - take off battery for few minutes, after that time hold download combination and insert battery, wait few seconds (so normally it would boot and enter dm), accept terms by pressing volume down, connect USB and flash stock Rom

4. usefull tip - Always have backup created in CWM on phone, you never know when it will be needed. What I do is creating backup every week/two weeks, also I have stock backup. I really recomend to create backup before flashing CM while you are on stock (it will guarantee everything will 100% work if something fails), it helped me a lot of times.

(recovery combination - volume up, volume down, power, home)

(download mode - volume down, home, power / accept terms volume down, decline - volume up)

In 1 and 2 "just in case" you can flash stock Rom, when it will start to reboot after Odin finish flashing, take off battery and insert again (to stop boot process) phone should boot into recovery normally but repeat point 2 to be sure.

Also, what is importiant, ALWAYS have turned on debug mode in your usb settings, first thing you should do after flashing CM, turn on debug mode.

===================================================================================================================================================

When you are switching from CM to stock, after flashing stock you will have almost 100% chance that you will have bootloop on samsung logo. You have to factory reset before first boot. So, after flashing stock, when odin will proceed reboot your phone, unplug phone and take off battery (take off battery cover before flashing, but be careful not to drop battery while flashing via odin, it would be really really bad for your phone, hold phone and battery all the time). After inserting battery back and assemble cover, go to recovery and do factory reset.

Share your thoughts and experience here.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] IlluminatiPL:
Now I have a Idea about a Un-brick:

1. If you want to return (after a Forget a clean data/cache/dalvik) When You can downgrade with .md5 Stock ROM (or Custom)

2. If Recovery Doesn't works... You can only Download Mode (Volume Down + Home + Power) - Remember it's that's not with SIM/SD Card [Maybe that's optional if it forget but I will be recommend.]

3. Flash to Newest "ClockWorldMod"

4. After Restart - That's must be take off battery and Connect USB Cable to SGMII

5. Let's Turn On Recovery Mode with a "Samsung Logo" Before Input Battery [With a Battery it's doesn't does it Start,on Fortunately...]

6. And... Let's to clean data/cache/dalvik... And that's All of "Open source Unbrick" :)

What Did a get:

+ Downgrade ROM without a Additonal Box (Because that's Open source with a Easy-Root and Not Close-Source as a Self of Old Sony Ericsson Tuning - But I Like a Old Sony Ericsson's Too :D... And "Sony" looks from a 2007 about a Modifications and Sony is not a blocked for Android - Fortunately... And for a Today Some users remembers about a Big Seasons Tunings from K310i or K550i [I had a Two phones... That's nice what I discovered about a ROM's Modifications... And Let's praise for Sony that's Not blocked for Androids... Thank you,Sony. :)]

+ That's can be again to Upgrade eg. Cyanogenmod

And... A knowledge... Hope that's share a help. :)

might want to consider adding this

Hi OP, you might want to add this to your thread..

so, early this week, i faced a bad bootloop situation after the software update.. Even with a normal boot (no vol+,home button and power button pressing), my phone will still be stucked at CWM recovery..

Note that my phone was working fine, only the software update caused my phone to stuck in the CWM bootloop..

So, what i did was, i updated my CWM 4.0.8.2 [ my bad, cause when i rooting my phone initially last few weeks, and i've been reading outdated threads].. So, i updated my CWM 4.0.8.2 to CWM 6.x through CWM recovery..

Then, after it rebooted, i go to download mode, connect my phone through ODIN and flashed stock rom.

Now, it is working fine like new.. :)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam_T:
I was looking at the app info for swift key in the app drawer and noticed that the "total" space of the app was about 53 mb. however the play store lists swift key as being only about 13 mb. I was wondering why this discrepancy was and if it was normal. I already re-downloaded the app and the size stayed the same and i checked the sizes of a few other apps and they all seemed to be at least a bit larger than they are listed as in the play store although none of the ones I looked at seemed to show as large of a difference as swift key.

Any help or explanation would be really appreciated. Thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtual-aidz:
It's the same with my Swiftkey. (Mine is 64mb though). It comes from the language packages you install.

Google play only shows the size of the main app you download from them. Not any updates, or files that the program itself downloads or creates.

The App manager shows thoose files, hence the difference between the Play store and the app manager.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam_T:
K good to know it is something that's common. Although it was like that even before I installed any languages and it seems something that appears to happen with all apps even other newly installed ones so I was wondering if anyone actually had an explanation. Just curious lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] weldawadyathink:
I got this phone from asurion when I broke my Droid X2. I have downgraded it and unlocked it with revolutionary. I wanted to have official CM10.2, but to my dismay this phone hasn't been supported on cyanogenmod since gingerbread. I did some googling and found chillybean's unofficial cm10.2. I quickly installed it with B-team 4.3 kernel v2, PurePerfomancesX, the gapps, and the gps fix. after awhile I noticed some problems. I couldn't send sms or mount the /system partition rw. I installed each component one by one and have yet to find a true culprit. Even just the rom and the gapps gives me the same symptoms. I am hoping that someone has some enlightenment on this, as I really am liking this device, and the only roms i really like are plain aosp and plain cyanogenmod.

P.S. I have also tried aa few different radios, but only xx.xx.01.xx because I am on Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] weldawadyathink:
I just identified the problem. The voice+ app from cm10 for some reason stops sms from being sent. So just disabling it fixed it.
