[Nexus 5 General] DrDanielJackson:
In regards to all the Nexus 5 chatter going on i thought i would share my thoughts and findings.

Button rattle/click sound-

During production they need to leave cutouts for the power/volume buttons, if too tight, the phones frame wont fit, if too loose, buttons move (my buttons move, ever so slightly, and that's cause I move them). My Nexus 4 buttons make a click sound too (not as loud as the nexus 5), maybe its the ceramic material. Not sure if i should RMA the device over something like buttons (then again i have 1 year to make up my mind)

Screen-

Some ppl say they have yellow tinge to screen, i cant speak for this, mine seems fine, however, one thing i have noticed. The status bar icons do not stay white all the time. While on the home screen they are white, when entering an app like the dialer, they turn off-white (maybe a really light grey). Maybe some users can confirm if its supposed to be like this. If screen yellow, def RMA it!

Speaker-

Ok, this is a big one for alote of users- Mine is pretty much the same as my nexus 4 while on call (much of a muchness really, could just be a matter of perception) BUT, on things like Youtube app etc

IT IS

softer than my nexus 4. (however my nexus 4 is running Matrix Kernel, and when tweaking the Speaker output in Trickster MOD, i can get that thing as loud or soft as i want) Maybe Google can fix this with a software update on the nexus 5, i don't know.

Mic/hissing in video recording-

This is a big one too- When recording video, there is a slight or big hissing sound in the background (even in quite scenarios),. Sounds like the microphone gain is set too high/sensitive, who knows. Tested it on my nexus 4 (as above) increased the gain, and got the same hissing sound as on my nexus 5. I know this is not the Q&A section, but could this all be fixed with an update? If memory serves, nexus 4 had very similar issues when it came out, with mic/speaker etc.

Call quality-

Much of a muchness with my nexus 4 and 5.

Vibration-

"you can hear it" or "its loud" what?, i did not like the vibration strength in the nexus 4, too weak, nexus 5 is stronger :) good for me- its all a matter of opinion. :laugh:

Maybe i cant remember what my nexus 4 was like when it came out of factory- its def better with custom ROM/kernel/apps- but users who are not tech savvy should have this sort of stuff addressed in the nexus 5.

Maybe some of this is just a matter of perception....

PS-This is just my take/opinion, may not be valid for everyone, but just though i would share it with the community. :)

PPS- from what i have been reading RMA devices still have the same issue(s), regardless if its 310K or 311K- My Nexus 5 is 310K.

In case you want to see the source, here it is, but it's in Spanish (though if you're good with google translate...):

http://www.celularis.com/opinion/aosp-android-muere/

Basically it says Android as open source project is being terminated by Google with it's latest decisions and Android releases, at the same time of an even greater increasing dependence on Google. Each time less parts of Android's source code are free since they're now Google services-related. Default basic applications such as a media player, virtual keyboard and messaging now are Google's. Even Jean-Baptiste Querú, main responsible of AOSP, resigned from Google.

The news were indeed disgusting for me. How will this affect CyanogenMod development, for example, or other projects? Will upcoming Android smartphones become just Google smartphones, becoming virtually the same as an iPhone?

I love my N5 and love it even more with a custom ROM. (So far Cataclysm is what I live for) but on just about all the Roms I've tried. I constantly get service disconnects and/or poor service. I am on Sprint and ever since 4.4.2 came out the Sprint hack zip hasn't worked. I tried the radio zip released for 4.4.2 but it didn't work either. I get LTE, 3G, and all fine. But out of nowhere it'll disconnect randomly until I either reboot or enable/disable airplane mode. Sometimes that doesn't even fix it. I'm stuck on stock now. Does anyone know why this happens? I hear sprint has issues with us. And its not related to the ROM. I've tried CWM. TWRP. Nothing helps.

Reception

Strange, I would have thought the network wouldn't make any difference. It's all GSM.

I have known poor reception on a few Mini S handsets, but it is much better when used with a wired or Bluetooth headset.

Maybe, it is a unit problem. Maybe not.

Whatever works for you.

I don't know where you are but O2's reception quality (as remarked, it should not make any difference with GSM anyway) is way ahead of T-Mobile's. I was with O2 for 2 years up until the start of this year and could use my XDA2i in a basement flat with no problem at all. With T-Mobile on a MDA Pro that doesn't work. Only reason I left o2 was because of that four-letter man Charles Porter and his staff wanting over £400 for the XDA Exec 'as an upgrade', which T-mobile offered me for free.

Hi all.

I currently have an international (Australia) Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-19505 running on:

Apparently, for my network carrier (optus), the Jellybean 4.3 update isn't being released until January sometime. Me, being the impatient kind, would like it now.

Would I9505XXUEMK8 be suitable for my optus handset? Does anyone here have the file on hand which is suitable for my S4?

Free for XDA members and as a thank you for all the information, tools and roms XDA Developers has provided over the years here is something I created that makes it easy to connect adb over tcpip to multiple Android devices. Get rid of the wires!

One click to switch adb on all usb connected devices to tcpip.

One click to switch adb on all tcpip connected device back to usb.

Auto discovery of the devices listening on tcpip.

The application consists of two parts. "Helper.jar" to run on the pc and "Helper.apk" for the device.

View attachment 2455389Helper.jar

- Installs the Helper.apk on the device.

- Attempts to switch adb on the device to use tcpip.

- Sends broadcast messages to look for devices on the network.

- Initiates an adb connection over tcp to any ip that responds to the broadcast.

- Provides a button to switch all usb devices to tcpip.

- Provides a button to switch all tcpip devices to usb which also uninstalls the helper.apk file, leaving no "junk" on the device.

View attachment 2455388On the device, Helper.apk

- Turns on WiFi if not already on.

- Checks and shows if the adb port was indeed opened.

- Listens and responds to udp broadcasts from Helper.jar.

Some android devices will work without root but if you get a red message from the helper on the device, you will need to root it to enable adb in tcpip mode. The rooted method to set adb to use tcpip is used in case the device is rooted.

If you like the tool and want to contribute, please feel free to buy the app on the Play store. The attachment contains exactly the same files for free.

Feedback is welcome and I hope someone finds this useful!

UPDATE!!

A new tool I am calling "ADB Master" that includes all functionality of ADB-Over-WiFi-Helper plus a lot more is now also available for free to XDA users.

Many thanks for bringing this to all of us at XDA.

Thank you!

Thank you for the Christmas gift. I'm on HTC DNA and I am rooted but I get the red port closed message about root required.

No request for root occurs in supersu from this app.
[Android Software Development] casouzaj:
Same issue here, on my rooted Xperia J. No entry regarding this apk's request for root is found in Super-SU's logs, whatsoever.
[Android Software Development] extremewing:
Wow, thanks for all the comments!

The helper on the device does not use or need su and ONLY does the following:

1) Checks if the adb tcp port was indeed opened on the device (by creating a tcp connection attempt to it)

2) Listens and then responds to a udp broadcast from the java app.

In future, it could do more.

All the work is done over the USB cable (or WiFi to switch back) using adb from the java app.

In essence, the java app executes the following abd commands to each device (both the "rooted" and non rooted methods are attempted each time):

To turn ON tcpip mode:

adb -s <devicename> tcpip 5555

adb -s <devicename> shell su -c 'setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555'

To turn OFF tcpip mode:

adb -s <devicename> usb

adb -s <devicename> shell su -c 'setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1'

Please explain a bit more what is happening when the red message appears?

Is the device connected over USB and appearing in the left hand list on the java app?

Perhaps post the output from the java app when you press Switch to WiFi.
[Android Software Development] extremewing:
This app needs you to be able to first connect the USB and is intended to make it easier to work with lots of devices at the same time. For a rooted device without USB / damaged USB, any ADB to WiFi switching app on the play store should work to get adb onto WiFi and then, yes, you should be able to execute your required adb commands.
[Android Software Development] spereree:
Thank you in advance for this very important tool!

I have a HTC One, 4.3 Sense 5.5, ( 3.62.771.3 ), and need to reset it back to stock. My USB port doesn't function when the phone is on.

(Works OK in fastboot mode) - and I need to be S-off, then S-on again (locked, remove tampared via revone, moonshine,

or rumrunner) but all those require USB adb. and I can't do that.

So I'll try this and let you know how it goes.
[Android Software Development] extremewing:
Please note, this app also requires USB ADB to start off.
[Android Software Development] spereree:
Tried it...

OK, so I've tried it, and it seems like it can only pick up an ongoing ADB WiFi connection but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

Remember; I can't use USB debugging coz my usb doesn't work when the phone is on. so USB debugging is off, and there is no point using it. I'm using this as an alternative to restore back 100%.

(1) I pushed the apk file to the phone, using "WiFi File explorer pro"

(2) I installed it using "APK installer"

(3) Ran Helper.jar

(4) Opened an already installed WiFi ADB app on my phone, and established a connection (granted SU first)

(5) ran your app, "ADB over wifi helper" - it picked up the connection (showed green, " ... listening on port 5555 ... ", etc)

Back to the Helper.jar, all it does is saying "Searching - Hello to 255.255.255.255" "Timeout"

I was assuming it would have automatically connected it for me (say running a command like "adb connect ip.address:5555" )

or am I getting this wrong?

I kept the path to my android sdk

****Also, I used the

mini sdk

(It's quite popular, so I'm assuming most users will have this) and I'm missing the "platform-tools" folder. I just have fastboot and adb,exe and some dll files. So, can you provide a link we could get the required "platform-tools" folder alone? (zipped) ****

However, when I connect manually via command prompt, "adb connect ip.address:5555" the Helper.jar automatically detects it, and the option to Switch devices to USB appears (which I will not use, personally)

But the "Searching" cycle still continues.

Also, what is the use of the large text entry form below the "Searching" indication?

Again, thanks for this tool!!!

P.S. imagine a user trying to do what is said in this thread, but doesn't have a functioning USB port to use adb with, and has to result with your app (alongside another WiFi adb app) - This will fill the gap! as in ANYONE can recover / flash roms, etc, even if you have a broken USB port!!!
[Android Software Development] extremewing:
This is not wrong. After the helper.apk was running on the device, and showing you the port was open, the jar app should be able to discover it. Are both the pc and device connected to the same wifi access point, and that access point allows the two to talk? I assume so based on your later comments. What OS version?

Just point the app to the folder containing the adb executable.

Searching will always continue. Something is either blocking the udp broadcast or the device is not allowing helper.apk to get them.

That is a log of what the app is doing
[Android Software Development] spereree:
I'm on Windows 8.1 x64

and both devices are on the same network (I'm using my PC as the hotspot via a program called connectify. I'm using a USB 3G dongle for internet.

So that means I've done that OK...

I believe that might be the problem, but I don't see where that issue comes from...

Also as an addition, When I connect adb over WiFi on my phone, and I list all devices, I see my phone (as an IP address) but with "unauthorized" next to it (please search on the this issue for more info)... This was a brick wall I hit, when I was trying to get my phone 100% to stock, to send it to repairs for my USB issue... MEaning I can't run any shell commands, etc... via ADB... I was hopping this app could find a way around that?
[Android Software Development] extremewing:
You have more than one thing going on here.

1) The program you mentioned "connectify" *may* be blocking the broadcast for discovery to work.

2) The "unauthorized" message is due to an out of date adb on the pc. You should upgrade to the latest version in order to connect to newer android devices. Note that you would also need to accept a permission prompt on the android screen.

3) I am also thinking you need to enable USB debugging for anything to work properly when executing adb commands (even over wifi with a faulty usb port).

4) If you get it back to stock, you may want to see if the USB issue you have is fixed.

5) You may also actually use fastboot to flash it back to stock?
[Android Software Development] spereree:
Hi, Thanks for the reply.

I'll try all the options and get back to you.

As for getting back to stock, I would also love to remove the tampered and "unlocked"

warnings from the top, so that I can take it back to repairs under warranty.

So actually ADB over WiFi need to work flawlessly as if I connected the USB cable,

This is so that when rumrunner is run on the device, no problems should be encountered.

Even after multiple reboots (hence, this application should load ASAP when Android booted.)

New version out soon

Since there are nearly 1000 downloads, I was going to bring out a new version I've been working on and I wanted some feedback or thoughts about what you would like to see.

The new version at the moment will give you these new features in the JAR app:

- Improved: device lists that will allow you to multi-select devices to perform actions on

- New: list of all apps on all devices (replaces the "console" at the bottom)

- New: Install an APK from your PC onto all selected devices

- New: One click uninstall of multiple apps on all selected devices

- New: One click enable / disable of multiple apps on all selected devices

Is there anything else one would want to do on all devices?
[Android Software Development] extremewing:
New version to test

Here is a new version of the "Helper.jar" to try out. Please use it with the original download from the first post (Replace Helper.jar with this new version).

Once it has been tested a bit more, I will re-post it in the first post and on the Google Play store.

In this version:

- Multi-select lists for local and remote (WiFi) devices so you can choose which devices to work with.

- Install an APK from your PC to selected devices.

- Shutdown, reboot (normal, recovery and bootloader) multiple selected devices with one click.

- List apps on selected devices, this also allows you to compare visually what apps are on multiple devices.

- Enable, disable or uninstall apps on multiple devices with one click.

Future features (not yet implemented):

- Execute a shell command on selected devices and get the output?

- List all processes/services and their cpu usage?

- ...

Comments and feedback are welcomed.
