[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniel300:
Need help on restoring a possible bricked/corrupted nandroid backup. Or i least who can help/ knows how to get/recover info from that backup using windows or Linux (Ubuntu) please help.

Edit: First of all I'm sorry for my English. This is what happens when i try to restored trough twrp recovery. After it finish it boot normally but then it get to the lock screen( i guess) the only thing i can see is the signal bar (notification bar) and if i push the lock button (power button) one to sleep and again to wake the device i can see the lollipop initial screen for like 1 second then everything is back/dark except for the notification bar :(. I believe i got my self in trouble because this is what i did before doing that back up. I installed last preview on top of the last one before but it didn't boot up so i went to recovery and back up after that mess :(. Hope somebody can help.

Here some pics
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brushstroke:
Are you running the newest Lollipop preview? If so, that might be the problem. A lot of root apps don't work on it at this point.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
those images mean nothing.. have you tried restoring your backup? a nandroid backup can not be "bricked". a bricked device is a device that can not be restored or reflashed, its only use would be to be a "brick" holding the door open.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniel300:
Yes and i hope u right because i dont wanna at last lose my sms and i cant try titanium because i need the paid version :(

This dump is actually newer than the software on my phone. It's at 21.21.12 , I haven't been prompted for an update yet. I'm holding out in anticipation of Sunshine V3.0 to see if anything happens.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] LifeAsADroid:
jcase has already stated that 3.0 is not intended to support Moto phones. I think it's for the HTC phones only. Not to say the Moto phones may unintentionally benefit from the update, nor that there isn't a "version 4.0" coming later on, so I agree with you on waiting to take any updates whatsoever. Please do post all over every Turbo forum thread if 3.0 works when it's released. I mean, borderline spam the entire forum to let people know, lol.

I was planning to wait to get the phone until an exploit is found, but with updates coming out-of-the-box it may not be long before the stock of phones at 21.21.12 are gone and stores start stocking the phone with 21.21.15 already installed, so I'll be getting a 64 GB tomorrow afternoon.

I find it very odd that there is no information online as far as what the .15 update affects (supposedly not the VoLTE update).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] pjcforpres:
I rocked .12 for the first 8 hours, then finally updated to .15 - right after updating to .15 a number of updates not available previously in Play became available for the Camera app, looked to be darn near every Verizon app, and a few other tid-bits... only thing of real note was the Motorola Camera app getting an update that didn't exist prior.

The camera also showed better performance with the update, especially in the neighborhood of noise in shadows. As well, battery life seemed better, but that could be the phone getting a proper charge / battery level reading.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] DoctorB0NG:
The 15 update fixed my IMS issues I was having. On 12 my IMS wouldn't register but on 15 it works flawlessly.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] droidkevlar:
I've seen you post this multiple times. Mine does not say registered yet I have 0 issues with SMS or MMS
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] DoctorB0NG:
Try texting someone nearby. See how long it takes for you to receive a message. In my tests it took around a minute to receive a text without IMS and it took mere seconds with IMS.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] droidkevlar:
Will test again when the wife is home, but in testing yesterday seemed just like how my G3 was. Not instant but not a minute.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] DoctorB0NG:
The main reason I need IMS is at Badger football games at camp Randall, the legacy spectrum is over saturated and won't allow me to send SMS without IMS. The LTE network can handle it however.

4.6 Beta 5 OTA

I was running 4.6 Beta 4 and today had an update from Paranoid OTA for 4.6 Beta5 which I updated to, and all seems to be working fine however, I don't see any info on the changelog in this thread, nor in the

[Change Log] Paranoid Android [AOSPA] - NO QUESTIONS HERE! thread.

Is this going to be updated soon? or is the changes listed somewhere else?

Thanks.

BTW, I just wanted to say that I had been having problems with the older KitKat Paranoid rom on my phone with APN issues while sending XMS, and other issues with the phone app failing requiring restart, and some other bugs so I downgraded to 3.something and had been using it for a while. I recently checked out to see what updates there were and gave the 4.4 Beta 3 a chance and since then everything has been flawless! I went from Beta3, to Beta4, and now Beta5 and have not had any issues at all with the newer updates. Very happy about that, and forgot how nice the newer versions were over the older ones. Thanks for the great work!

Hi,

recently my Xperia SP came in immerse contact with water. I powered it off quickly, then dried it as much as I could.

I then turned it on, it was working for like 15 minutes, and then it suddenly shut down.

It now acts like the hard power off button is constantly pressed (vibrates 3 times when I plug it in/power it on/etc.).

Any help much appreciated!
[XDA Assist] Djole-97:
Sounds like a water stuck between the button n the contact thingy (sry for bad english, not quite good at explaining things)

But i think theres still some water left there, should be fine after some time , water should evaporate on its own(wouldnt recommend having phone turned on cuz of possible short circuit)

Not an expert, but this sounds like the only logical explanation to me.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

Water damage such as yours is usually fatal I'm afraid.

Also, I see you are well familiar with your device section, so please ask there.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
G3

3GB ram/32GB emmc

µSD card slot up to 128GB capacity

5.5" QHD display

13mp camera w/laser focus

Rootable with Stump (or purpledrake) , TWRP with Bump! Some carriers have patched the exploit so read up if you are considering the G3.

My G3 lasts 48 hours between charging with SOT of 5.5-6 hours of normal use at 60% auto brightness.. YMMV.

My G3 Antutu score is 41252 with no tweaks (see attached pic). YMMV.

I can sing praise of the G3 till I'm blue in the face, but ultimately, you need to decide what's best for you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] objektive_1:
G3 all the way!

How do you get that good battery life!?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
I don't use facebook, Lookout (at&t antivirus), disabled some at&t apps. I mostly use the G3 for emails, texts (not hangouts), youtube, flixster, web surfing and calls. I turn off auto sync. I sync mail manually. Brightness at 60% auto. I still have 73% battery left from last night's charge (see attached pic). The only thing I do different than most G3 users is that I use the Apple charger (I had a 3GS before getting the G3) instead of the LG charger. Like I said YMMV. I haven't experienced any of the problems other users mentioned in the G3 forums. I have the G3 on wifi mostly and phone signal strength varies between 2-4 bars.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GroovyGeek:
Wow, if you shut it off and only turn it on when you use it battery life will be even better :)

. On a more serious note leave your autosync on, install a wake-lock detector, Greenify the hell out of anything you don't need to be waking up the phone, and see thread about greenifying Google Play Services in this forum. That will get you through almost two days without the inconvenience of turning off auto sync on everything.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
True, Greenify will extend battery life, but also introduce its own wakelocks nonetheless. I don't have time to check emails every time a notification goes off. I rather check my emails several times a day. The majority of emails is junk anyway. I do check each text as they come in though. Anyway, do what's best for you.
[ONE Themes and Apps] hadi15:
Well I've searched around this forum and found that there wasn't a thread about firewall apps.

My question is: Which app have you tried and found that it works perfectly for you?

My main goal here is to limit some apps from using up my mb's when I'm away from my wifi.

So which app do you guys recommend?

P.S. obviously this might require root which isn't a problem.
[ONE Themes and Apps] xTremePower:
A firewall for a phone ? ? Seriously.... It's as useless like many fake antivirus for phones.... Just not install useless and strange apps from other sites, and don't clic on EV every link you receive
[ONE Themes and Apps] hadi15:
Umm...if it wasn't clear from the post, what I meant by firewall is an app that'll prevent installed apps from using up my internet data bundle.

A lot of cariers, including mine, don't offer cheap unlimited data bundles and, hence, I have a need to stop certain apps from accessing the internet when not on wifi.

My question has nothing to do with security.
[ONE Themes and Apps] djha53k:
FW

I'm using the FireWall Plus

And I'm quite happy with it... You can choose if you want block/allow Data/Wifi ... one or both :good:
[ONE Themes and Apps] hadi15:
Well I gave Firewall Plus a fair day's trial, for the most part, it works nicely.

But google now and google chrome seem to be blocked even though they are white listed in the app which is weird. Do I need to check something else for them to work?

Btw, I know the app was set up properly since other apps such as whatsapp to receive Internet while others like facebook don't.
[ONE Themes and Apps] djha53k:
You can choose if you want black list or white list...

Personally I use black list... so I check GSM or Wifi or both, click to "Save rules" in the top menu and it works... I never had any trouble with it :angel:

I might be something "deeper" of app networking... I would suggest to report it to coders of FP. ;)

Is anyone actually using a Tmobile s5 on AT&T service and if so, how good are the data speeds, is there anything that you can't do with the Tmobile on AT&T, for instance does surfing the web during a phone call work or not, that kind of thing. I very much appreciate any info on this. I know other Tmobile phones are working OK but I need to know obviously about the s5 in particular.
