[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniyan.rajan6:
Do you mean that "HTC One (M8)" costs twice than Nexus5-32GB ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
Yes
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniyan.rajan6:
I am hearing many comments about the sound quality of Nexus5. People say that:

1. It has only one loud speaker. The second one is a microphone.

2. The sound quality is not as good as the other Android phones.

etc.

What is your opinion about this ?

THanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Search the forums, there are plenty of topics about the same. The speakers are decent.

However, If you root and install a sound mod like v4a,then the volume definitely increases!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniyan.rajan6:
okay, One question about rooting. Is Nexus5 the only phone that can be rooted (flash a custom rom) ? Is it possible in other phones like htc, lenovo, samsung ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Nexus isn't the only one. You can unlock, root, flash on all all devices. However, Nexus is the most easy to unlock and even if you screw up, it's the easiest device to fix! All the factory images are there on the Google servers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniyan.rajan6:
Okay, I read somewhere Nexus is the only one.

So is it possible to flash a Stock Android image from the Google server on an HTC smart phone ? If I do that, Is it possible to receive instant updates from Google still ? ( It may affect the warranty for those phones ).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
No. Factory images found @ https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images are only for Nexus devices!

I sincerely think you should read more about Android, rooting and other related stuffs before you jump ships.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniyan.rajan6:
Hello,

http://www.google.com/nexus/6/

Here there are two options to buy Nexus phones: 1. Google Store and 2. Flipkart.

Is it good to buy Nexus phones from Flipkart ? They are giving 18% to 20% discount for the same device. So if the price in Google Store for Nexus6 is Rs49000, then the price in Flipkart is Rs39,999. So the doubt is that are they Brand New and Genuine Nexus phones sold by Flipkart ? Will they provide all the accessories in the box ?

Someone from India please suggest.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreIrawan97:
No sir, HTC is for HTC, nexus 5 (hammerhead) is for nexus 5 :D

Anyway, there is a way to bring back the warranty

And also, from my experience in rooting, and flashing, the hardest one is Sony phone. I bricked it just in 1 month

It's quite easy to rooting and flashing in the nexus 5. Especially if you are already a developer. It must be a piece of cake for you :D

If you ever screwed your phone, google is your friend

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juniorkm7:
I am going to flash my friend's s5830, because she has problem with proximity sensor. I tried many brand firmwares but they all have same problem with proximity reaction...

Could you give me suggestions which rom choose to give her most stable and fast working experience from her phone? It can be 2.3.6, 4.1.2 even 4.4 but it must have no annoying bugs and working proximity. I want to give some boost to her phone to increase speed when flashing when fixing the main problem.

Waiting for your ideas :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhievaldo:
flash to 2.3.6 via odin. then run screen calibrate from settings.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
I've an idea... but FIRST OF ALL WRONG SECTION

You must read rules and then post in the correct section...

Next time use the Q&A Thread, thank you for understanding it

...

If you have already tried several firmwares and it didn't work maybe your problem is a HARDWARE problem...Official firmwares have NO problems with proximity sensor :weird: but custom roms sometimes ;)

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aouaas:
hello. i have an s3 mini i8190 with dmodv6 rom installed. whenever i try to open an instagram link(for example from twitter), i only get the option to open it with one of my browsers. i have the instagram app installed of course. is there a way to make it open with the app instead?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
i think not. only option is to wait for app update which supports it :)
[Moto X Q&A] xVesica:
I'm gonna just cut to the chase here, I've already looked at the forums and searched and all that.

Phone has been fine for about 3 weeks, since I got it, and all of a sudden it froze up on me and gave me the error "Process System Isn't responding" and of course with the 'wait' and 'ok' options. Phone does work fine except for the active display will not work and every time I unlock the phone it tells me that it crashed. I get random app crashes at random times as well. And my wifi is stuck in a permanent 'turning wifi on...' phase so I'm forced to use my 4g. I have tried all the suggestions that are possbile for the model of the Moto X that I have but nothing will work. Multiple factory resets, cahce wipes, everything. I've even tried flashing a stock rom to the phone via fastboot, didn't think it would work as I am on 4.4.2 AT&T version of the Moto X, and of course it didn't. Has anyone had the same problem, or found a workaround that actually works?
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Well....it seems you're only option is flashing the 4.4.2 files for your phone. And if they aren't available....you probably have to play the waiting game unfortunately.

Are you rooted?? I would say if you're rooted, xposed or something that has changed system files is the culprit. But if you're not rooted....then who knows.

Good luck!!

P.s. never try to downgrade. You're lucky you got an error.....cause sometimes you get a brick. ;)

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

I thought at&t files were out now?????
[Moto X Q&A] xVesica:
Not rooted, everything is completely stock, I did try flashing the 4.4.2 files to my phone, but can't get system.img to write, tried just flashing the update as a zip but wouldn't work because of something like the update-version wasnt found in the zip file... If only I had root, this would be a lot easier...

Edit: Would you be able to point me to the AT&T files? I did find firmware but that won't flash for some reason.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
I'm not sure where to get at&t files...there's a site that has them all...but I can't think of it.

And this guide has a return to stock section. Make sure you did it right. You do need to use mfastboot. Fastboot won't work on the bigger files. ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2558785
[Moto X Q&A] xVesica:
Thanks for all the help, hopefully everything works.

Edit: Used the toolkit to flash the 4.4.2 update. I guess it just didn't like the way I was trying to do it before. Everything works again though, and hopefully it stays that way. :D

Now I get to go through the process of restoring all of my files.
[Sony Xperia M] Zero-V:
Hi, installed FXP318 on Xperia M and cannot encrypt phone, logcat says:

"Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place."

Found this topic while googling

forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/82292-cm102-encryption-does-not-start-stuck-at-splash-screen/

Formatting /data from recovery doesn`t fix issue so far.

I assume it is a bug, how can I address it to developers?
[Sony Xperia M] Zero-V:
Something is terribly wrong with encryption on FXP318 imho. So, according to link above and other sources, "It needs to make sure the filesystem doesn't extend into the last 16 Kbytes of the partition where the crypto footer is kept." I boot to recovery and formatted /data:

# mke2fs -T ext4 -L userdata /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 2133871

I made 512kb, 32kb give the exact error.

Next, encryption didn`t start either and phone just rebooted, logcat showed "unmounting /data failed" before reboot. Google lead here

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58073

Script

# while true; do lsof | grep /data; sleep 0.2; done

showed that sensord is not allowing unmounting. So I did

# killall sensord

before final click to "Encrypt storage".

Finally, encrypting began and completed successfully (I thought so).

After reboot, phone is asking for passphrase and when I type it, green "decrypting" robot appears for a second and then black screen and phone is totally hanged and unresponsive, only removing battery helps.

#$ck! :mad:

I`m out of ideas
[Sony Xperia M] Zero-V:
Anyone? There is no user with encryption enabled??

Could please someone point this thread to PecanCM or in dev thread, as I cannot write there

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2584956
[Sony Xperia M] Zero-V:
Ok, I continue my monologue FWIW :eek:

Encryption in stock firmware works as it should, w/o problem. Updating to CM11 lead to "Unsuccessful encryption" and phone resetting. I could encrypt with killing sensord though, but decrypting is still lead to unresponsive phone.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
Why would you want to encrypt your phone?
[Sony Xperia M] Zero-V:
Why would anyone don`t? In the world of security concerns and privacy invasions...
[Sony Xperia M] Zero-V:
Ok, FXP319 doesn`t fix issue. Also I checked FXP316 and FXP309 - the first with Xperia M support.

Nexus 6 will be Qtr 4, November probably. We cannot make teh decision for you. N5 is a great phone though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
If you look at it that way by the time q4 hits you might as well wait for q1 and so on..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
Yeah, as [MENTION=5170316]mistahseller[/MENTION] said. New phones are constantly coming out so if you want the N5 you should just get it. You can also make the argument about the One Plus One since it's apparently a better value (without getting into all the CM details). Personally I've been getting phones when they first get released just because I am one of those people that likes having "new" devices. But at the same time I don't buy every new device that comes out.

Also, there's the rumors of android silver. So who knows what's going to happen. There might be a N6, there might not. Just like the Nexus 10 tablet, they still haven't refreshed the original.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Get it now if you really want it, Then upgrades are always possible later...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paperWastage:
google play doesn't regularly discount phones/devices (as much/frequently as a retailer like Best Buy)

That saying, the most recent price drops:

Last time, Nexus 4 dropped by $100 in august 2013

7 days ago, the GPE Xperia Z Ultra dropped $230 to $450.

Hence, Nexus 5 will typically be $350/$400 for 16GB/32GB..... will other phones be cheaper (LG G2, HTC One 2013)?

do you want those phones?

Hi

I've been trying for a while now to force 3g only on my device and by that I mean change HSDPA revision to disable H+.

On my research it seems you can accomplish this by the service menu but I constantly get invalid code errors with special/"secret" codes, only a few work like imei.

Is it possible to access the menu in a different way or maybe something I can change to force the phone on 3g only?

Thanks in advance and if you want to know my reason is because h+ its not good signal but 3g is always strong.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doncaruana:
I was rooted with 4.1.2 and haven't rerooted since taking 4.3 which I had to do for work. I know the bootloader is locked forever. I'm okay with touchwiz. But, after taking NC1, I tried saferoot for the first time on 4.3 and I got hung up at "sending files to device". I looked under the covers a bit and tried to just execute the commands manually. I can shell to the phone and do stuff, but if I try the install, it just hangs. And when I looked in /data (the bat file pushes stuff to /data/local/tmp) I see nothing. I tried simply pushing the files somewhere else and that was fine, but when I tried to change the permissions, I got "Operation not permitted".

Needless to say, I'm not rooted. But it seems others get farther than this before failing, even on NC1. So my big question is whether there is something funky with my setup or with adb which is preventing these commands from working properly. My phone initially connects as an installer but then flips to a media device shortly thereafter, even though I have usb debugging enabled, etc, since I can obviously run adb and all.

Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doncaruana:
Well, it looks like, despite my different behavior, saferoot doesn't work on NC1 anyway. From what I've read, some kept root after the update and some didn't. At this point, it appears my path would be to odin back to ML1, root there, and then try the update to see if root is maintained (or ignore it).

I noticed on AT&T someone managed to come up with a modified update that could be applied using safestrap that would maintain root for sure, but I don't think that will work here and haven't seem the same for Verizon yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
You should probably just ignore it unless your going to Canada any time soon. Otherwise you will most likely loose root and need to do it all over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
People have had luck keeping root by checking the survival mode in the paid version of super su. Just thought I would let you know in case you really want to be on the update.
