---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

Thanks very much for this info. I am yet another person who loves this little remote. I have the MR7U and am attempting to use it with my windows 7 Pc running Kodi. So far I got it paired to my Samsung Note 5 just to play around with. I still need a Bluetooth dongle for my PC, are there any you recommend? Also, I am interested in what you used as an IR transmitter for your PC. I read about Eventghost and have an idea of what it's about. I did notice what you said about the "ok" button not working. I have a harmony remote with IR and RF but I really need the keyboard so I've committed to the idea of using the MR7U and retiring the Harmony. I'm confident I can get the MR7U to do what I want with kodi, but I want to be able to use it to also transmit IR to my Sony receiver and Bravia TV. Can I use the PC IR transmitter to turn on the TV, control the volume on my receiver and control Kodi simultaneously? Any info shared is greatly appreciated!
[Nexus Player Accessories] ninja_rancher:
Even though it's slightly off-topic for using the MR5U/MR7U with the Nexus Player, I'll try and answer some of your questions. First, as far as the PC Bluetooth dongle goes, I just bought a generic cheap one off of eBay for under $5 (USD). Just search for 'usb bluetooth dongle' or 'usb bluetooth adapter'. As far as the "OK" button not working, I believe that was only when it was directly paired with the Nexus Player. All buttons seem to work fine for me when paired with my PC.

Second, I am using a Gateway USB IR receiver (like http://www.ebay.com/itm/GATEWAY-USB...967892?hash=item33ad7cc714:g:PUIAAOSwnH1WWmvY). Also cheap, also off of eBay. It used to be used for receiving IR as well when I had the Sony NSZ-GS7 and I had it blasting its TV and receiver IR codes to my PC instead. But now I just use it as an IR emitter controlled by EventGhost.

You should be able to do everything you want as far as device and app control. The only gotcha I encountered is that I had to disable the Windows 'Human Interface Device Access' service (hidserv). Because the remote pairs as a HID device, there are some buttons that Windows was interpreting automatically. Like the volume and menu buttons. If you want volume to control your receiver, then you need to disable the service to prevent Windows from adjusting its own volume. But it's all very doable. I use the MR5U remote to power my enter system on (TV, receiver), change volume of my receiver, switch inputs on my receiver, and control Windows Media Center or PowerDVD when I have to switch away from the Nexus Player to watch live TV or play a physical disc that I haven't ripped into Plex yet. Just have to have the time and the determination to do it.
[Nexus Player Accessories] Jaygatesny:
I'm determined! Haha. I'm going to be ditching cable TV for a few months so Kodi and ps4 will be my only devices. I'm following everything you've said and am very confident at this point. The last question I have is, how do you make the PC's IR emitter send the correct codes to the TV and receiver (on/off, volume, input)? Is there software I would need to learn/program the correct codes to blast? I'm mean there has to be right? Thanks! :D
[Nexus Player Accessories] ninja_rancher:
There are a couple of ways to accomplish this--assuming you are using EventGhost. The most fool-proof way is if you can find the Pronto remote HEX codes for the device(s) you want to control (the Files section of remotecentral.com is your friend). EventGhost has the ability to enter these codes for emitting IR. Otherwise, depending on the IR receiver/transmitter you buy, the IR plugin for EventGhost will allow you to "learn" a code from a remote. I've found this route to be a bit trial-and-error, though. As there are things that can affect the accuracy of the capture, like distance, the time you hold the remote button down for, etc. If you use this method, expect your workflow to be capture/test until you actually get the captured waveform to control your device.
[Nexus Player Accessories] Jaygatesny:
You have been an extraordinary help. I think I'm ready to start ordering what I need and getting my hands dirty. One last thing. Does the IR emitter you have come with software or just drivers? The only gap in my fully understanding this is how to tell Event Ghost to tell this emitter what codes to push once I have them? Thanks again, and I will report back with any info I encounter that could help others.
[Nexus Player Accessories] ninja_rancher:
There are no drivers or software for the IR receiver/emitter. Windows is able to recognize it directly. From EventGhost, you will use the 'Microsoft MCE Remote - Vista/Win7' plugin (plus a service that it installs) in order for EventGhost to generate events on incoming IR and to send out IR (either from Pronto HEX codes or via capture). To use the MR5U/MR7U, you will use the 'Generic HID' plugin to perform actions on the button press events. The list of EventGhost plugins can be found here: http://eventghost.org/docs/pluginlist.html (some have links to individual documentation posts). So neither the IR receiver/emitter nor the Bluetooth dongle needed any extra drivers...they just worked out of the box.
[Nexus Player Accessories] Jaygatesny:
Understood. I watched some tutorials about event ghost and have a basic understanding now. Also won that gateway ir blaster just now. Just gotta order the bluetooth dongle tonight. Should be good to go soon! Will report back in a couple weeks. Thanks greatly!!

[Nexus 6  General] chancy319:
It doesn't take advantage of all that screen real estate. No multi window support, one handed mode etc. No real features that make use of the larger screen. Google tends to just plonk bare minimum stock Android onto their devices without really optimizing it for that specific screen.

Am I still getting the N6? Of course, I am. I can't stand lag wiz and I enjoy fast and latest updates. I'll just have to look into the Play Store for apps that make help me take advantage of the bigger screen and hopefully, some ROMs come out that do the same.
[Nexus 6  General] Cheater912:
Okay.

There's already a thread for this.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I think the onus is on the app developers to implement these things. I have multi window and one handed operation on my Note 3 and tried both....once....then realized I didn't want to do anything on half of a 5.7" screen.....and can use the phone with one hand fine when needed. The one handed Samsung feature defeats the purpose of having a large screen to begin with.

Some apparently do. I couldn't stand it. There is nothing I do on my phone that can't be put away in order to do something else. These screens are already tiny. I couldn't even really do multiwindow on a pc effectively until 24" or larger monitors came around.....
[Nexus 6  General] bwheelies:
Sounds like you should get the Note 4. From your statement above you are bagging on stock Android which is why you buy a Nexus to begin with.
[Nexus 6  General] elementaldragon:
Multi-window seems a bit stupid on a screen 6" or smaller anyway. On a computer is one thing. But having two windows open that aren't even 3 inches tall.... what's the point?

And one-handed mode.... is what people call a mode for those too lazy to USE THE OTHER HAND! If you're in a situation where your other hand isn't free to do something on your phone... then i'm pretty sure that's not a situation where your phone should be a priority.... like DRIVING.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
I went to the development section and it seem pretty dead there, especially for the LTE version. So here are the questions.

1. Why are they so empty, like there is no custom ROMs? Is it because the stock version is pretty good or just the lack of motivated dev?

2. Is the LTE version worth it? I mean yes it's $100 more, but only 16GB extra.

3. If I put AT&T phone sim in the LTE version, can I use it as a phone as well? If so, that sound like it worth extra to pay for LTE, than just trying to tether.

4. How is the stylus compared to something like the Galaxy Note series? I used Note 2 and 3, and their stylus is excellent. It's Wacom with pressure sensitivity after all.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
1. Probably no developers with the tablet. There is also less of a need with xposed modules working. Oh, and I just bought mine a couple days ago, but I'm more of a kernel person than a firmware developer.

2. Is it worth it to you for the extra storage and mobile data?

3. No. At least not normally. You might be able via Google voice or hangouts.

4. Not as good as a note, but better than nearly all conductive styli I've tried in the best.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
The storage doesn't mean much to me. My usage of the device is a bit differ from most ppl. I currently using AT&T note 3, that read locked boot loader to you. I prefer having microSD slot to store the pictures I shot(from dSLR). And I would use stylus if I want models to sign release form. I don't mind the size as much, as I would normally carry some sort of small messenger bag. I guess I'll wait a little while to see if there is a update coming for note 3 anytime soon, or I may be looking to buy international note 4 instead.

Is there a standard set of changes necessary to make a D850 ROM compatible with the D852? Can someone share this magic sauce so that the peons may partake of it?

Basically as a lot of people (well, *Canadians*) seem to have said, the D850 and D852 are essentially the same hardware with different serial numbers. So why can't you just load a D850 ROM directly? It this a change anyone can make themselves for any ROM; edit a configuration file or hex-edit some standard address?

Reading various threads online it seems like as of now they're unable to activate the Nexus 6 directly because the phone is not in their system. Since There were so many people with questions regarding this topic, thought I'd share exactly how I got Verizon to make me a Nano sim.

1. Find a friend with a nano sim phone (in my case was a iPhone 6+)

2. Go to a Verizon store and tell them you're buying/borrowing your friend's phone and therefore need a new nano sim made

That was it for me. Didn't even have to pay a single cent

I cut my Note 3 SIM down to nano size and I ordered a nano SIM from Verizon. The cut down nano works great, but the SIM Verizon sent me doesn't work. I'll probably have to order an adapter and activate it in my Note 3 first and then stick it in my Nex6, but there isn't an incentive to do this drive I'm good to go with the cut down SIM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrickoneal:
I see a lot of people advocating taking a SIM from an existing device, using another device's IMEI, swapping phones around, or even using the IMEI from a display model phone at a Verizon store. My question is this:

Since you're using a different IMEI to get the SIM and activate it, does the IMEI of that device stay attached to the account? That is, if I just take the SIM out of my M8 and put it in a Nexus 6, can I give or sell the M8 to someone else? I wouldn't think it could be activated, since Verizon will still have the IMEI attached to my account, even though I've swapped SIMs. Or will Verizon automatically record the new IMEI when I swap SIMs?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
The only IMEI that will be attached to your account will be the phone that you have your sim card in. It would be fine to sell the M8 to someone else and it will not still be attached to your account.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
The SIM is attached to your account. Who ever buys the m8 needs their own SIM. It only holds info about your account and device on the account.

I'm going to go to a third party vendor and get a nano SIM. Its free and I'll just activate it using my m7. Seems like the best thing to do for now.

I just called Verizon and they asked me a bunch of questions when all I wanted was a new sim. They are sending me a nano SIM card they said it's a nano nfc SIM. So I have the adapters to activate it on my m7.

I had to tell them I ordered an htc one M8.

I had a nano to micro adapter so when the Sim came I just called the 800 number told someone I need my new Sim activated since I already received it. They said I have an HTC one that's correct, I told them I just wanted a new Sim and needed it active. They had me read the number off the Sim card, it was activated within minutes and I plugged it into my m7 with the adapter. Worked flawlessly, and when my nexus 6 arrived I popped it in and it works without issues.

Question...

If I take an already activated sim from a Moto X 2014 and pop it in a N6, what happens to the X? Normally I'd go online and change the IMEI and device ID info to wipe the X clean so I could sell it, but since the N6 isn't in VZW's system, I can't really do that, right? If I take the sim from the X, does that kill it anyway?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Nothing you can still use the moto x everything is on the Sim. You can put the active sim in any phone you have as long as it supports that type of Sim. You can sell the moto x since all activation features are on your Sim.

Stopped working on Verizon - 'Unrecognized device on SIM'

I received a N6 from Motorola Dec 1, slimmed my SIM from my GNote3 and popped it in to the N6. All worked like a charm.... until now.

I just spent a week in Punta Cana (beautiful) and enabled the global data plan for $25 / 100mb. I used my N6 quite a bit on the resort wifi and then cellular data when out of wifi range. All was good. Overall I ended up with $100 charge for the data... I can live with that.

I returned yesterday - phone worked in the evening no problem.

This morning I received a text, but could not send one. Then I lost cell service completely. I went to verizonwireless.com and saw a note saying that my SIM was in an unrecognized device. I popped the SIM back into my GNote3 (fortunately purchased an adapter a while back) and that is working fine... but when I put it back in the N6 I get the 'Unrecognized device' message...

So, is Verizon starting to block the N6 from working somehow? Anyone else having problems? Or did I screw myself somehow by using the global data option?

I hope I can get the N6 working again!!!! Any advice is appreciated...
