[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PewPewK:
Hey folks. Just ordered my Midnight Blue Nexus 6 from AT&T and had a quick question about activation for phones purchased directly from the carrier. Ideally, I wanted to buy a Cloud White Nexus 6 on contract, but since AT&T is only stocking the blue I figured I could buy it and either trade it or sell it on somewhere like Swappa and use that money to buy an unlocked Cloud White. But I haven't bought a phone outside my Nexus 5 in a few years which I just swapped in my iPhone's old SIM card, so I don't know how activation works.

Do these phones purchased from a carrier come pre-activated? Do you need to put in and register your phone number when you activate? Do you take it to a store usually? Basically, I'm concerned about if I need to open the box to take out the SIM or if I can leave it completely sealed and just resell it like that.

So how does AT&T usually do it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt3:
Typically, when you buy a phone from any carrier (online or in-store), the SIM will either come pre-activated (if it's a new line), or will come with instructions to call a number and activate it (if you're replacing an existing phone). Either way, it's not a big deal, because you can always walk in to the store, pick up a new SIM, and transfer your account to that one. That will free up the SIM that came with the phone to be used by your buyer.

However, if you're extra paranoid, you can always open up the box and take out the SIM. The buyer can easily just walk into their carrier's store and pick one up (or, if they have a nano-sim already, just swap it over).
[Nexus 9 General] TheManii:
Due to the fact that the N6/9 cannot oem unlock until after initial setup (which also means a forced ota), it may be impossible to dump the initial rom on it, info: PSA: OEM Unlock On The Nexus 6 And 9 Requires Checking A Box In Developer Options

What can be done however is finding a little information, specifically the bootloader/baseband (for devices that have them) and initial rom version.

How to check:

Enter fastboot mode

Make note of baseband and bootloader versions

Enter Recovery mode

Press and hold Volume up, and then press power until the UI appears

Make note of rom build in title

I would like to request someone that has not done first setup to make note of what build is preinstalled.
[Nexus 9 General] aleandre1974:
Hi, I will get a replacement unit tonight and will try to get the information for you. To enter the fastboot mode it's the same procedure as for the recovery : Power+volume up upon startup, then select "Fastboot", right ?
[Nexus 9 General] simmac:
Got mine one week ago, but I made this after receiving it:

So the build number was LFW73W .

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 9 General] TheManii:
All we need now is the bootloader version and that's about as much as I can expect from the initial rom, we still need ota information though.
[Nexus 9 General] aleandre1974:
Hello, I managed to take the following picture yesterday before the OTA, however I did not get into recovery (the little Android with its belly opened and a red warning triangle seemed tho take too long, well over two minutes, so I rebooted).

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 9 General] TheManii:
Can you confirm that that picture was taken before you did first setup?

I've seen that picture before but the other poster did not make note of if he had updated or not.
[Nexus 9 General] aleandre1974:
Hi, yes it was before the ota. In fact, before ANY setup on the tablet was carried out, straight out of the box !
[Nexus 9 General] TheManii:
Bump: The N9 LTE will be out soon, the same instructions and issues apply to it's initial rom also.

The N9 LTE is technically a different device then the N9 wifi, and will likely have a different initial rom(s)

[Nexus 6  General] dualityim:
Is it not possible to go through initial setup without Internet connectivity?
[Nexus 6  General] TheManii:
It depends on the device, most recent ones now simply cannot finish setup without first checking in with gservices. They force you to connect to wifi to continue, and if you connect to a wifi point that cannot reach the internet, it will simply sit there waiting to connect.

This is what happened with my NP at least, and it was roughly the same with the 2013 N7.
[Nexus 6  General] fury683:
I think all the quick hands on unboxing videos show people skipping all the setup steps, including adding wifi and logging in. There may be cell connection, but the OTA doesn't install itself, it just starts downloading and tells you when it's done, right? That's what my Moto X 2013 did when I cracked it open.
[Nexus 6  General] TheManii:
All nexii in recent history have forced otas during setup, there is no way to bypass it short of doing something that would normally break the ota check.

Most reviews have devices from before the ota, or had no ota available at all.

reminder: now that the N6 is starting to ship out, please make note of what the initial rom is.
[Nexus 6  General] TheManii:
Update: the N6 does not seem to have a forced update at least.

If you have a N6 and are willing to hold off on updating for a few days/weeks (until CWM or the like is ported), I would like to request a dump of the initial rom.

Due to the fact the N6 is likely a secure /system device, the only usable dumps require DD, nandroids or manually pulling the files are of minimal help.

YOU MUST DO THIS FROM A RECOVERY, IF YOU ROOT YOUR ROM YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO RECIEVE OTAS/THE DUMP WILL BE NO GOOD

Here's how to do it:

boot into a custom recovery

open an adb shell

mount data: mount /data

dump bootloader:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/data/local/aboot.mbn

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm of=/data/local/rpm.mbn

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl1 of=/data/local/sbl1.mbn

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sdi of=/data/local/sdi.mbn

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz of=/data/local/tz.mbn

dump baseband: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/data/local/radio.img

dump boot: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/data/local/boot.img

dump recovery: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/data/local/recovery.img

dump system: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/data/local/system.img

dump logo: dd if=dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/logo of=/data/local/logo.bin

dump versions: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/versions of=/data/local/versions.bin
[Nexus 6  General] Nopcodex90:
What about dumping Att OEM? Since it is memblck0p39, does it matter? For the people that nuked the OEM partition and have to send it in for warrenty, it might make a big difference.
[Nexus 6  General] evolving:
Well,I didn't take the ota,but I rooted it. what you trying to get done?
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
not true.

i got my ota a day after i got my n6, i didnt take the ota. the option hung for another day, but it was my choice not to ota. instead, i flashed the most recent aosp. otas are never forced upon anyone who owns a nexus.

edit.. ok, i read your next post.
[Nexus 6  General] Nopcodex90:
This thread has been a lifesaver, I have a friend with a pre-order Att Nexus 6 that I was able to get the OEM partition from. I deleted something and I still do not have any sensors, and my logcat shows a ton of errors trying to get the sensors to work. I tried to fix-permissions with TWRP but it always fails. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Nexus 6  General] Circaflex:
same here, I got my ota update probably 3 or 4 hours after setting my device up, but I just hit remind me later and never accepted it and wasn't forced to accept anything
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] alessandro_xda:
is it possible?

when i run outlook or pie or opera (and so on...) my internet connection starts without asking anything and this is not a problem because i pay for a flat connection,

but when i'm in roaming (quite often) unfortunately i pay (a lot) for internet, so it would be nice if i could lock (or force my pda to ask me) internet connection while in roaming

is there a way to do this?

bye

Answer

Hi,

Start/System/Memory/Running Programs 'Stop All'

Look in Windows/StartUp folder what starts after softreset.

Sofreset is always good!

Also there are settings in the programs you use, disable them.

Done.

Cheers, Leo :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] alessandro_xda:
the problem is not the unwanted connection on startup, but there are several softwares tha i WANT to connect to the internet bub i would like to tell my device not to connect if i'm not on my network operator

ie.: if i leave sype or messenger running but my device goes in roaming i begin to pay (and i don't like this)

bye
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] patrickl:
Not sure if you can make it ask first for every connect it does, but you can switch of the GPRS/UMTS data connections manually. Might depend on the ROM how easy it is, but I think it can be done from the comm manager.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bunkai.Satori:
Dear all,

I have a brand new Huawei Honor 6 [H60-L02], Chinese version. I could have purchased the European version, but the Chinese one has two SIM card slots, which I found necessary. The phone is fully updated, and so far I haven't done any changes to its OS. It is even not rooted.

On my previous phones, I loved Missed Call Reminder applications. I simply did not have to regularly check my phone for missed calls, missed SMS messages, or emails. If there was anything for me, the phone regularly played a sound, which signalized that there was anything requiring my attention in the phone.

With Huawei Honor 6, however, none of the Missed Call Reminders work. I have tried large number of them:

Missed Call Reminder

Missed Call SMS Reminder

Missed Call Alert

Missed Call

Missed Call / SMS Reminder

Missed Call Smart extension

Call Reminder

Alert.me

... couple of others

I would therefore need to help with following questions, please:

Is there any trick to do, to enable those missed call reminder apps?

Should my phone be rooted to have call reminders to work?

Should I replace my phone ROM?

Are you aware of any other call reminder app that would work?

Is there any other workaround that comes to your mind?

I would really appreciate solution to this problem, as I do not necessarily want to change my habits and start checking my phone every while. I am willing to root my phone, or reinstall the ROM if I have to.

Here is detailed info about my Phone and OS:

Model: Huawei Honor 6

Model Number: H60-L02

Origin: China / Chinese Version

Present Location: Germany

Android Version: 4.4.2

EMUI Version: EMUI 3.0

Build Number: B307

SIM Slots: Dual SIM

Thank you many times in advance.

I have tried every root process trying to root the U.S Cellular 10.1 (SCH-I925u) and have had no success.

All the GT-NXXXX roots have locked me down.

CF-roots have done the same.

It seems every method out there just locks my device down.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thirdempire:
Can someone help me decide what ROM to flash on my note 3 or who can tell me whats the best ROM for note 3?

OH! BTW do i have to root my phone first before flashing a custom ROM? I honestly don't know how to ROOT and FLASH(sorry don't have much time to back read coz of my F#cking work) I'd really appreciate if you can help me or give me an easy STEPS for me to follow.

i am looking for a ROM that is stable and fast, i mean i like to play on my note 3 so i'd really like to flash a ROM which is fast and can extend my battery life by tweaking or whatever.

THANKS in advance!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
- Asking for the "best" rom is prohibited on XDA, because no one can answer that question :)

- Regarding rooting before flashing a custom ROM, it is not mandatory. Some custom is pre-rooted already. Or you can root later.

- If you want to root using CF-Auto-Root, I will show you steps, it's very simple and easy, but it will trip the Knox. If you don't want the Knox to be tripped, search for Towelroot instead.

- As for extending battery life, you can try Lean Kernel (I have not tried it).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thirdempire:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Lean kernel is here.

It's almost "impossible" to recommend a ROM. Everyone's needs/wishes are different. The best - and only sensible, to be honest - advice I or anyone else can give you is to read read and read again all youcan about a ROM, flash it, see if you like it, and repeat as necessary.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thirdempire:
I'll try that, thank you.

There are so many download link for the Lean Kernel. Which one should i Download for my Note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
The dl links don't show for me from my work pc, but if you're in Europe and you have the 9500 version, I'm 99% sure it's 3.11-hlte-Eur or something similar.

Some custom ROMs may come budled with Lean kernel - not sure, I don't use it any more.

I know you're not asking for advice, but I mean well - as you say, you're new to flashing/ROMs etc. If I were you, I'd get to know whichever ROM you decide on first and its capabilities, especially root. Tweaking kernels would be the last thing I'd want to deal with. Trust me, you'll have more than enough tweaking to keep you happy for days irregardless of what ROM you use;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thirdempire:
Yes that's what i'm doing right now, I've read about this GUMMY ROM i think i'll try this one first :)

i also noticed the other day it was at about 4% battery and i wa son a pool game, the screen started flickering on and off, and then it turned off, not sure if that's just because it was on the very end of the battery, but was still around 4% anyway so should have been ok till 0%?

any ideas if i have something wrong or is it normal?

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] dodo99x:
The tablet will shut off once the battery is depleted. Anywhere under 10% is normal. Letting your device run that low is hard on the battery and will reduce its lifespan.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] redpoint73:
The battery meter is not even remotely as accurate as you expect it to be. Its just an

estimate

of battery voltage versus how you are using the device. Don't expect it to be accurate to within a few percent, or even 5-10%.

Heck, I've had some devices show a drop of 20-30% and shutoff. Probably just some metering error, and it didn't happen often. But that tells you how inaccurate the meter can be.

As another mentioned, deep cycles are not good for the long term life of Li ion batteries. Charge fully and frequently.

Samsung is using 6x4Gigabit modules to give us 3GigaBytes of RAM. There is 8 Bits to a Byte.
