[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnchen:
I got a weird one for you guys. I had LTE on my nexus 4, but after tethering for awhile, my LED started flashing red and the phone got hot. So I turned off tethering, but my LTE became intermittent, and over the course of the next day, I lost LTE connectivity altogether, even if I set it to LTE only, I wouldn't get any signal. This is what I've tried, changing different hybrid radios, changing ROMs, factory restore to original ROM. The other symptom, and the one I care more about, is that my battery now drains pretty quickly, whereas it would last 3 hours of screen time on before this incident, now it lasts less then an hour. And it seems to drain while the phone screen is off. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Did I burn out my LTE modem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
I think you need a new battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnchen:
I have a feeling it has something to do with the modem. Day 2 with the damaged phone reveals that my signal will go in and out, sometimes it will be on 3g, sometimes on edge (even in 3g areas). If that's the case, a new battery won't necessarily help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnchen:
Now 3g is gone completely. I can only use 2g. Anyone else run into this problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolqf:
I had this problem a few years back. It was the wireless provider who was adjusting my internet speeds. After one simple call they stropped doing this and my phone was always connecting at 3G (I don't have the LTE hack installed)

[Moto 360] ultra74:
Here are some others if anyone wants to make some other faces with them.

These are not of my creation. There was a holo foil cover some time back and they offered a sample animated gif to get an idea of what they looked like.

Cheers.
[Moto 360] Galaxysm:
Wait...I can use gif files in watchmaker ?!
[Moto 360] dangreene1:
Yes I have already made over 20 gif inspired faces with WatchMaker. check my other thread. You can export them too like this :
[Moto 360] ultra74:
Yeah,

Once you upload an animated gif as a background image on the watch face creator app, it splits out the individual frames and sets a transition speed. It does this automatically.

Very cool!
[Moto 360] Galaxysm:
Looks like I will have to buy the app...thanks guys! I got a really good gif I want for my watch ;)
[Moto 360] saxman32:
I was only using facer but your description of gif abilities of Watchmaker is making me reconsider.... looks really good to have gifs on moto 360
[Moto 360] Max_Pain:
I have been actively using both, and I still think Facer is the better product. If you can wait a couple of weeks, the developer is about to drop a major update that will undoubtedly add GIF support and other cool stuff.

The only reason I ever use WatchMaker is for the GIF support. As soon as Facer adds it, I'm back on it permanently.
[Moto 360] dangreene1:
Facer has a long way to go now to catch up. Tasker integration, gifs, text effects, calendars these should be part of the os... at least they have them in watchmaker

I thought Messenger was mandatory but I can still chat through the FB app. Is this a custom app from Samsung or was I just out of the loop and used Messenger to drain my battery for no reason? :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniquebarbee:
:D Not sure but Samsung has added this as a system app I don't use fb much but this is good to know thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoo88:
Actually you just have to install facebook 3.5, this version of facebook will you force you to install messenger =) me is using this heee
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an_xda:
Interesting, I have no updates from Play Store requesting me to update Facebook... I guess I may be using the latest version? I do recall on my HTC device that it automatically opens Messenger. Currently have it disabled though - I feel it drains too much battery (does not even get tracked on power usage).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmerz:
Thanks to this thread, I decided to see if my disabling the Messenger app - if I'd be able to do messages from within the Facebook app, which I had updated just a couple of days ago to the latest version - and it worked! =)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoo88:
Guess Yes, my one is 3.5, currently ver = 21.0.0.4.12

you can remove your current fb and messenger

and then re-install the ver 3.5, and also disable auto update in play store =)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozaghloul:
Does messenger drain the battery too much? I rarely use it anyway. Also when you disable it, do you still get notification for a message?

Overall I do like the floaty heads thing and would keep it if it doesn't really drain the battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an_xda:
When you disable messenger, no chat heads at all.

It does not drain battery when rarely in use however a lot of my friends text me with it and it becomes bothersome lol
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an_xda:
Wow, are we that far behind? LOL

I wonder if getting the new Facebook is worth it on the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoo88:
I am using note4 and using a super old fb, just because I hate fb force me to install messenger, and messenger eat my battery. V__V
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozaghloul:
But who said it takes more battery than the regular Facebook app? The regular app also receives push notifications, so I don't understand why you think messenger consumes more battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an_xda:
Let's assume both receive notifications, double the notifications, double the listeners for an app that is redundant to another.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozaghloul:
Maybe you are right. But its also possible that they designed both apps not to listen simultaneously. That would also prevent double notifications.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoo88:
just same other app, it eat battery a lot, once they fixed the issue, the problem is gone.

because I experience it eat battery, so I removed the latest one and install the ver 3.5, now battery goes normal on my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] waterclosetbiker:
Hi,

I have read the sites and watched the youtube videos about how to use TowelRoot to root the Samsung S5 AT&T SM-G900A vision 4.4.2. I am sorry to say, none of them work. Most of the time just say "unsuppored" or just lock up and does nothing when "make it rain". I would love some help as I want to use Tracker to toggle location services on/off. Please help.

Thank you,

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheater912:
The first thing I noticed when I turned on the device was the light bleed. Its pretty bad, and I normally don't mind those types of things. No flicker here though.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soundchasr:
I noticed if I turn up the brightness it goes away.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reggie14:
I don't have light bleed, but I do see flicker if the screen brightness is turned down. It's reminiscent of the original Nexus 7, which had the exact same problem.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidoholic:
I have the flickering too...really annoying. I was hoping that this would replace my iPad but it's not looking good. Although lollipop is pretty amazing so far.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkygod:
Does it only happen you adjust the brightness? If so, i dont think its a big deal as long as it doesnt happen during actual usage.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spontaniusf:
I noticed the flicker issue when I first was using it. I then turned off auto brightness from the main settings and started using Lux Auto Brightness and the issue has been resolved as far as I can see. I suspect this is an issue with the Lollipop build's brightness manager and not a hardware issue from the backlight. Also as far as bleed goes, there is apparent bleed when viewing the screen at an angle and looking directly at the edge, however I have found that it is a complete non issue in normal use (even in a fully dark room), which stands in stark contrast to my Nexus 10 which has noticeable edge bleed when viewed straight on.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USBhost:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartyMango:
This issue seems to be related to auto brightness/adaptive brightness: The same brightness level set manually doesn't flicker.

Seems to be a software issue to me, and it seems highly likely every Nexus 9 flickers with auto brightness on (and at low relative brightness setting) in low light environments.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobmarleo:
But, my screen flickers when I am on a constant brightness level. But, it doesn't show up as much when the screen is on at full brightness, just when the screen is at half brightness or just below half.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartyMango:
I guess we aren't experiencing the same issue, then: My screen only flickers with adaptive brightness enabled in low light conditions, seems like it is constantly readjusting the screen between two brightness values.

My Nexus 9 doesn't flicker at any constant brightness setting.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valynor:
Yep, my Nexus 9 flickers as well.

About 15-20% brightness (fixed). It doesn't flicker all the time and it goes away if you change the brightness level or even by itself if you change the app you are using.

This leads me to believe this might be a software issue (N7/2013 had this too when it came out).
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean09:
I have random flickering as well at half brightness fixed.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scotlac:
I also have the flickering issue when the brightness is down. Adaptive brightness is turned off. I just installed Lux based on someone's suggestion earlier in the thread and it has completely resolved the issue.

Interestingly, as soon as I did this the hot spot near the camera lens became considerably cooler. Hmmmm......
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CdRsKuLL:
I noticed this when i was running on manual brightness at about 20%. My battery was quite low as well so unsure if this has anything to do with it. Ive since given my tablet a full charge so will see if it reoccurs.

Fingers crossed it wont, if it does it makes the tablet really hard to use.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] developernot:
Same thing here, any fix on this?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CdRsKuLL:
Hi Phil, whilst I full understand your explanation the flicking I'm getting is not because I'm in tune with the frequency its simply not pulsing the LEDs at a fixed freqency and staying there. Its more of a rippling effect with no strick pattern to it. Like one of the LEDs has a mind of its own and suddenly goes bright for a brief moment. Again, this only seems to happen when my battery is getting on the low side . I've downloaded the free lux app to see if this solves the problem, if it does at least I known then it will be fixable in the future if enough people complain about it.

Steve
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipL:
Hi

I see what you are saying, it may be a faulty LED of course, perhaps one is only sometimes connecting and turning on? But this interference pattern, which I've seen on some of my own devices giving an almost imperceptible flicker and I generally completely ignore now, doesn't always appear even over the whole display.

I think you will just need to go by gut instinct, if it doesn't feel it should be doing that, go for an exchange. Hopefully Lux will help you troubleshoot it.

Regards

Phil

I RMA'ed my first N9 for this issue. My 2nd N9 still has this issue, but I'm not too sure if it's HW or if it's SW/App related.

It only seems to happen when the screen is displaying mostly white, such as when browsing on Chrome or something. Once I switch back to a dark-themed app, the problem goes away.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apex84:
My Nexus 7 (2012) is also flickering under certain ambient lighting conditions. The sensor seemed to be too sensitive and changed the screen brightness way too often. What I've done is to download Velis Auto Brightness. With this app you can set a "Brightness change sensitivity" which prevents the screen from changing brightness unless this condition is met. Now, I don't have a Nexus 9 so I don't know if the flickering is caused by the same reason as on the 2012 N7 but I guess there's no harm in trying.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stone1269:
I think this has something to do with 'Prism'. The shield tablet had this same 'feature' and it drove me crazy with the flickering in low light conditions until Nvidia finally released an update that allowed Prism to be turned off. The flickering on the Nexus 9 looks exactly like what I saw with the Shield tablet....
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simmac:
You mean the flicker occurs when the NSA takes a Screenshot? :P
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stone1269:
Information about Nvidia Prism....

This talks about the Tegra 3, but the K1 definitely has Prism in the Shield Tablet enabled by default, so I think it likely does as well on the Nexus 9.

NVIDIA PRISM Display Technology

Another feature listed as improving the performance or the battery life of a mobile device is the Tegra 3 PRISM display technology, which reduces the necessity to use intense backlight by enhancing the pixel color. This method will not only save the battery life but would also bring the same clarity and resolution of the displayed image.

In addition, Tegra 3 can also support DDR3-L RAM at 1500MHz rate, which could also boost the performance much further. Apart from the above changes, the Tegra 3 processor also supports 7.1 channel HD audio which could improve the sound quality to match more sophisticated devices. For gamers, Tegra 3 offers the possibility of playing android games in the big screen using Xbox 360 or PS3 controllers.

However, tech experts argue that the Tegra 3 still cannot support 64 bit processing which makes true 3D quality difficult to achieve. At the same time, some of the dual core processors are capable of achieving the same processing capability as Tegra 3 to a certain extent. However, the overall performance boost powered by Tegra 3 would be hard to match unless other manufacturers also look into the possibility of integrating quad core architecture to its processors.

Hi

My nexus 9 also has the screen flickering. It only happens sometimes, and for about 30 seconds or so. I've been testing, and it only happens or is noticeable when screen brightness is tuned down, regardless of being in auto or fixed brightness. Also it is more visible in light screens like in browser or hangouts app.

I've installed the lux app, and for now it doesn't seem to be happening anymore, but I need more testing time to be certain.

Do you think I should start a RMA or is this a software bug?

Thanks
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Hurt:
I have the same issue too.

It's probably the display voltage being too low for the set brightness level.

Will probably be fixed by a future kernel update.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BFSilva:
Do you see the flickering very often? Or only from time to time?

Does your flickering only happens in low brightness settings? Mine only seems to happen when brightness level is down from 30/40%.

Sometimes the problem seems like software, but since other members don't seem to have it, it could also be hardware.

I still don't know what to do, to wait and see if a future software update fixes the problem or to initiate a rma.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkygod:
For me, its from time to time. Only happens at 30% or below brightness
