[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazed1:
My chat, with Motorola support :)

Ernie: Hi, my name is Ernie. How may I help you?

Ernie: Good Evening, how are you doing today?

Marin: Hi Ernie, i'm looking to buy the Nexus 6

Marin: And i got some questions

Ernie: I’ll be glad assisting you today. :)

Marin: Thanks :)

Marin: How many micrphones does Nexus 6 have?

Ernie: Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic

Marin: so that means 2?

Ernie: yes

Marin: thanks

Marin: but i'm very disappointed

Marin: with 2 mics only on the nexus 6

Marin: are you sure they are only 2? :(

Ernie: Noise cancellation is on the same from Mic, but there are other two on the back when you record a video

Ernie: just two mic in total, because

Ernie: individually the Mic have two functionalities

Marin: i understand

Marin: but if one is dedicated to noise cancelation

Marin: the phone can't record in stereo....

Marin: which is very bad for high end phone

Marin: i ignored the iphone 6 for that matter only

Ernie: Nexus 6 can record in 4K UHD video capture

2160p (4K) UHD, 1080p HD and 720p HD video capture modes (30fps)

Marin: the audio will be muffled and in mono when you record

Ernie: excellent audio quality

Marin: i hope so :(

Marin: i talk about recording quality, not speakers, i want dynamic in my videos

Marin: i don't get it how can Motorola skimp so important thing, when you need more mics for always listen functions

Marin: for the ambient display

Ernie: remember that the Mic, is only two holes, sound wear, but in the same Mic we include extra functionality

Ernie: to prevent bad quality on the audio, also the speakers

Marin: when you record in mono, which is one microphone for recording, and one for noise cancellation, you got bad sound - muffled, and no dynamics..

Marin: need at least 3

Marin: 2 for stereo, and one for noise canceling..

Marin: can you confirm with the technicians, that it has 2 mics? i'm sorry i trust you but i hope you are somehow wrong lol :(

Ernie: you will see three holes on the phone

Marin: but 3 wholes are 2 mics anyway?

Ernie: one in the front is the Mic, one on the top very closed to the camera, and other on the lower space

Marin: oh so 3 mics not 2?

Ernie: that's why I say before, this device record in High quality not only images or vide, audio too

Ernie: the front Mic is separated from the other two

Ernie: does not count

Marin: so 2 and one dedicated noise cancelation right?

Ernie: the other two dedicated to noise cancellation and record

Ernie: depending of the function, if you are in call , or making a video

Marin: so it should be able to have stereo recording right :) ?

Ernie: yes

Ernie: we can't imagine a excellent device, without it

Marin: thank you so much :)

I'm not sure what you're finding good here. What he says is that the audio capture on the camera of the Moto X is better than he expected to be. He starts to say Nexus and then corrects himself and says he means on the Moto X. Is that what you're pointing to?

*

That aside the forum manager in the Motorola forums responded to my thread about the microphones on the Nexus 6 and said it has four microphones with CrystalTalk noise cancellation. So it sounds like it is the same as the Moto X in this respect.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Considering that the screen **IS A SAMSUNG**, your statement makes no sense.

It is quite literally, just a very slightly stretched out version of exactly the same screen as note4 has.

5.7" vs 5.95"

The very strange thing about phone manufacturing, is that companies that appear on the surface to be competitors, are actually supplying each other with a lot of the internal components. Motorola buys AMOLED screens from Samsung. Samsung even used to sell SoC's to APPLE (up to A7), but apparently the butthurt got too much.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Samsung does make the screen that's in the Nexus 6, but it's not the same as in the Note 4. The Note 4 uses a Super AMOLED screen, which is a newer generation of OLED screens. The Nexus 6 has an AMOLED screen, which is the previous generation of these screens. So Samsung saves the best of their technology for themselves.

The Super AMOLED screen is supposed to reflect less sunlight and perform better outdoors.

Of course there is also Super AMOLED Plus, also made by Samsung, which does not use the PenTile subpixel layout, but uses a standard subpixel layout resulting in more pixels for a given resolution (and therefore more sharpness). Neither of the phones have this type of screen. (Although perhaps once you get to the point of QHD screens with 500 ppi pixel densities, quibbling about PenTile subpixel layouts becomes silly.)

It's true, of course, that companies that compete with each other at the handset level, also often supply many of the components that go into the phones of their competitors. Sony, for example, makes the camera sensors that go into most phones (though there are many different sensors from Sony, with varying levels of quality). And then there are the patents and licensing deals. All phones use technology licensed from other companies, regardless of who happen to be the parts suppliers. So no one can truly be said to have designed every part of the technology in a phone they make.

But I don't think that means the companies are not real competitors. These are to some degree separate parts of their businesses. There's no reason for them not to compete over handset sales, but also make money from supplying parts and licensing technology to phones from other companies. This also just reflects how huge these companies are, containing many different parts that do different things and operate in the market in different ways.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcrandon:
Yes, I do care a lot about audio quality, both from the mic and the speakers, as well as noise cancellation. I searched for a bluetooth solution with adequate noise canceling and quality to be able to use my phone in my car, which is pretty noisy.

I searched for about two years. In fact, it didn't really need to be bluetooth, I would have been happy with a wired solution as well, as long as people could hear me clearly and I could hear them. I found several units from different manufacturers, but they either had good noise canceling for the earbuds, but not for the mic or vice versa, but never both till I found the Phiaton PS 210 BTNC. I don't know what type of noise cancellation they used for the mic, but it worked pretty damn well. Far, far better than any phone I had ever tried in my car.

They just came out with a new model BT 220 NC, which supposedly has even better noise canceling for the mic, produced by a company called CSR. The technology is called Clear Voice Capture (v5).

This is the same company that makes the codec aptX.

Its a shame, Motorolla made a big mistake. This phone has 4 mics, and no stereo recording?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Yeah, I was surprised by that. Is there really some cost savings to not doing this, when there are already four microphones? I just don't get it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazed1:
I'm 100% sure there will be mods to make it stereo, but i don't understand the logic.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCJ22:
So there are 4 mics?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
Hey guys.

I've been using Google play music since it came out, but I have a big problem with it and finally I've had enough.

Every time I want to try a new music player or use me music in other apps or so, Google play just doesn't allow me to do that.

I mean Play Music is a great app and a great service. But if I wanted "rules" like this I'd use an iPhone xD.

So I went ahead and started downloading my 6089 music to my computer, and now I'm looking for a program to manage and organize and decide which ones to copy to my phone.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Do you use Google play music? Or have the same problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can use any music player you want, but you can only play music stored in google play with google play. to think otherwise is borderline absurd. you cant play pandora in another app. can you?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
Isn't Pandora a streaming service? The music files in Google play music are MY music files, so what I'm trying to say is that I'm upset that they don't allow me to use my music in other apps just because it is stored in their service.

This is something I'd expect from iOS not Android.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
ok, i understand what you mean, and there is a solution for this.. you can go to the desktop browser site www.google.com/music (destop, not mobile) and download whatever of your songs you want, itll be in a mp3 format, and itll download to your download folder. you can play these with any music player.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
I'm not being clear enough. I apologize.

By musics (songs) I mean the ones I have stored offline.

Those are the ones I wish I could use on other apps.

Again, sorry about that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
youd need to download them to play in other players, as google uses its own format to stream an play in the app. other players can not play that format(probably).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
From my understanding Google play music stores the songs in its own database so only it can access the files. Google made it impossible for other players to play it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
right, in its own proprietary format. which is why it has to be downloaded first(via the desktop site).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
When you stream music from Google Play Music, it saves those music files on this location

/data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music

That's the reason no other player can access it. It's named like "1234.mp3".

If you are rooted, I remember there's an xposed mod to move it to SD card or somewhere else.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can technically play Google music files in any player as it stores them in native mp3 format in /data/data/com.Google.android.music/files. The problem is you'd have to move them to /sdcard and also the files have no title or tags.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
No issue with titles and tags here
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Your bottom screenshot disagrees with you ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Sorry I don't follow you :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You say you have no issues with titles, yet your bottom screenshot shows files without titles... i.e, the file name is not the song name. There is no identifier.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Yep but this isn't linked to Play Music. That's how my podcasts are downloaded through Pocket Casts.

I mean that I have the right titles into Play Music app (1st screenshot).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
That's the complete opposite of what this thread is about dude ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
lol so I go back to lollipop stuff :D I probably misread something :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
YEah we're talking about downloading music through play and playing it in other music apps... It can be done but it doesnt bring through any tags and the file names are just numbers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
Let me trow a question at you guys.

What do you use to manage your songs?

Do you all use Google Play Music?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
I personally don't like Play Music. I use PowerAmp or Shuttle+ There's a thread for this question I believe :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
I use Play Music as I subscribe to All Access and use the upload functionality just to supplement "holes" in their library. I also use my Chromecast for music sometimes and having my files uploaded to Play Music makes that easy.

If you don't like Play Music, PowerAmp is a pretty good option.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
I tried Poweramp but from my experience it eat more battery than stock player.

Hi everybody. Since long time I'm using the X-Note rom (I know it's no more here on xda). That rom has a wonderful theme for the entire UI that changes everything in AOSP style. I love it too much, because I don't like TW style. Since today I've never found a theme like that one that could be use on every TW rom.

is there anybody who knows if something like that exist? Or at least something similar?

[General Questions and Answers] Leon The Gamer:
Please!!! I need some help. I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 and I'm stuck at ''Downloading...Do not turn off target'' screen !!.This had happened because I installed a custom power button module on my phone and the ‘’REBOOT’’ option had ‘’Recovery Mode’’. I had accidently switched to recovery mode instead of the normal ‘’SOFT REBOOT’’. So now every time I turn my phone on, it shows the ''Samsung'' logo for less than a second and just switches itself to ''Downloading...Do not turn off target'' screen without the Odin mode on the left hand corner. However I can go into download mode by the volume, home key and lock screen button combination. When I'm in Odin mode it states as below:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

I really need some one to help me on this, and it doesn't matter if I lose my phone I just need a way to retrieve my internal drive files. I've tried to use KIES but it seems useless in this case because every time I use KIES and I get to the ''Retrieving updates and device information'' page I'm faced with the downloading bar. Once the downloading bar's done it asks me for administrator permission and does not come back on. I really need help to retrieve my files from the internal drive. PLEASE HELP!!! ANYONE??
[General Questions and Answers] root-expert:
You can't use kies becuse you have a "custom binary" "custom system" and and 2 counts. So kies think that you have a custom firmware...

When you connect your phone to your pc you can't see your internal storage...?

Maybe you can flash a custom recovery and take a back up from there but I'm not sure...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tongez:
hello there,

i own an htc one m7 from o2 uk CID o2__001 . More specific the phone was routed and i decided to go back to the stock rom in order to get the updates , when accidentally i erased the system files and the phone now has no OS.

The main problem is that the phone is S-ON HBOOT 1.57 and doesnt allow me to change the CID in order to install any rom. I think the only way to get this thing work is to find an RUU or rom.zip file of the version 5.21.206.3 which was the previous and original one. Both CWM and TWRP recoveries fails to install any rom except the revolution hd which uses aroma installer, but it also fails in the end of the process , it throws me back to recovery when it starts to boot.

I tried to turn the S to Off but i read that the phone has to be able to boot to the main screen which is impossible at this time .

i would appreciate if anyone could find the suitable rom for my phone or at least if someone can backup his rom and give me the backup files.

if there is any other way to make the phone work i would be pleased to inform me !

thanks in advance

Chris

latest ruu for your version is a dowgrade and will require s-off to be flashed. Unless you find a nandroid backup of your version, you'll have to s-off in order to restore your phone back to stock.

Which version of twrp are you using?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tongez:
The latest ruu i have found is the 4.20.206.16, but it stucks at 5% and either gives the error (htc_fastboot stoped working) with twrp recovery but just stacks there without the error if i use cwm or the stock of the 5.21.206.3. If i try to push it manualy it returns an error that the file is verry big. The newest recoveries that i can use is twrp 2.6.0.3 and cwm 6.0.3.1 and doesnt accepts any newer version of them, if i use newer it starts bootloop. I m 99% sure that if give me a nandroid backup it will work for sure.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you can not flash 4.20.206.16 RUU over 5.21.206.3, it require s-off. For ARHD, you need twrp 2.6.3.3 in order to flash it correctly. Try updating twrp to 2.6.3.3:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavier666:
I was looking at this framework and as far as I understood, it gives a custom ROM like experience on stock ROMS

The way it works is (I'm talking about graphical mods) by replacing certain UI on-the-fly, that is hiding the stock elements and then showing the mod elements.

But in custom ROM, the stock elements are completely removed, we see what the developer intended us to see

Does this mean that a stock ROM with Xposed requires more RAM than a Custom ROM without Xposed?

If it requires more RAM, how well does it run in 1GB RAM phones?
