[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmg4ever:
Hey monfro i made an xda account because your work sped up my nexus 7 greatly. I want to say thank you! When i first got my nexus 7 it was really fast, and i rooted it and tried some roms but the stock android was always smoothest. 2 years later now this tablet is really slow, although gaming is still good, internet and scrolling was getting frustrating. I was running 4.4.4 it was laggy then i went to 5.0.2 it was unusable. I looked up how to make it run faster and found out about the f2 filesystem and gave it a try.

I couldnt get it working until i used the info in your thread and rastas rom, tried a couple f2fs roms that i couldnt get working but this thread made it easy. Had it for a few days now and it Runs great now. Im typing this because when it booted today it ran faster than i ever seen it. Was a little confuzing trying to convert the filesystem as some of the info about the custom recovery was outdated on xda, i already had a recovery that supported f2fs and didnt know it. I messed a lot of things up and bricked my tablet after messing around trying to intall a bunch of older custom recoveries and different roms.

Luckily with wuzfresh toolkit i was able to unbrick and reinstall and re root and install newest twrp, once i did that i just converted all filesystems and flashed the rom and supersu and g apps. G apps wouldnt flash on your stock rom as filesize was too large already and i couldnt root it for some reason but rastas worked. Glad i got it here because rastas only hosting his lollypop roms. i dont want any lollipop roms on this device lollypop sucks right now, and is unusable on the 2012n7. Got the rom from your thread this tablets running real smooth now.

Only problem is there is a lot of ads on xda for mobile not sure why but im getting popups and captcha left and right. Im posting from the tablet, gonna stay using xda on my computer from now on. But thanks for your contribution im gonna lock this tablet at 4.4.4 f2fs. Great to have people like you helping all the nexus 7 owners, this is still a decent tablet and a great sized tablet

Wich is the procedure to follow to install this rom and format nexus 7 on F2FS? Is that filesystem really faster? Thanks
[HTC One Mini] shinisou:
Hello everyone,

Hope this is the right place to post this kind of request. Have also searched for old posts, but couldn't really find a similar topic for the HTC One Mini.

So Yesterday my HTC One Mini went through an unexpected factory reset.

I'd like to recover photos/videos/contacts/emails that had never been backed up or synced, but I'm having an hard time finding the right procedure.

The phone has never been rooted, USB debugging has been allowed, Android version 4.4.2, HTC Sense 6.0, Software number 4.09.161.6, HTC SDK API 6.20, Build number 4.09.161.6 CL363588 release-Keys.

I've tried to use some softwares (Recova and Wondershare Data Recovery) I already used in the past to recover lost data from SD cards and usb sticks, but the phone doesn't appear on the list of available device inside those softwares. Under my computer, the phone appears as Multimedia Portable Device and I'm able to browse the folders.

I tried also Dr. Fone, but I'm unable to get past step 3 when it tries to get some Foxxcon Bluetooth driver.

Could you please suggest me a good way to recover the lost data?

Is there any way to connect the One Mini as a Mass Storage Device to a Win 7 PC?

Thanks a lot for your help!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinezma99:
Does anyone know the most favorable way to buy the Nexus 6 on AT&T network?

Advantages and disadvantages of each? Price, signal strength, customer service, warranty, etc?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P1 Wookie:
It'll cost more through AT&T, unless on a 2 year contract, then you'll save money but be locked in for the next 2 years. If you don't mind paying the full AT&T price (which is more than Play or Moto) but don't have it to pay up front, you can use AT&T Next, then you pay for the phone monthly on top of your bill. If you have a 10GB or higher Mobile Share Value data plan you get $25 knocked off your bill, so it can actually kind of even out in the long run. Also, it looks like from the reports that the AT&T will have the globe branding on the back. Otherwise, everything else should be the same between the 3. Warranty is from the manufacturer so that doesn't change across the board. I'm sure it's the standard 12 month warranty. I can't speak for customer service though. I've never really had to call AT&T for much of anything and I've been with them since Cingular.

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

Basically, if you have the money to pay full price, I'd get it through GPS or Moto...if you can catch one before they sell out every Wednesday (GPS). So availability might be better through AT&T as well. That remains to be seen at the moment. They're supposed to start shipping today from AT&T.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinezma99:
Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.

Can anyone add to the customer service piece in regards to Moto or Google in the event of warranty issues?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtalum:
The Play Store has been a Pita about shipping, but I wouldn't order from AT&T unless you want 32 GB and the death star logo.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P1 Wookie:
I personally didn't care about the logo. I already ordered a dbrand skin for mine. I'm also willing to bet even though the phone is already massive, 80% of the people complaining about the AT&T branding will have a case on the phone, probably even with case manufacturer branding. :cyclops:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I bought mine from moto and it works fine on ATTs terrible network here. I get mildly better signal but not by much.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexandrelara:
I had talked to Play Store's support and they told me that if I purchase through Play Store they will give me 2 years of warranty.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinezma99:
Two years support is nice but I doubt I'll ever keep a phone for two years.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chemguru:
Any issues with the ATT Store on Bringing Your Own Device? I ASSume you needed to get the nanoSIM and not simply swap the SIM from your previous device...

--JamesT
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelbon:
I am not on ATT, but with Verizon. You should be able to take your previous SIM and just pop it in and go. That is all I did with My N6. I pulled the SIM from my Moto X 2nd Gen and popped it in and I was good to go. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinezma99:
I know I had issues with the Pure Edition Moto X. AT&T would only give h+ and not LTE. The work around was to give them an AT&T IMEI.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodosom:
Assuming you want or will settle for the only phone AT&T is selling then:

It almost completely depends on the contract you have or want to have.

After that it depends on who you want to deal with if there are phone issues.

It is annoying that AT&T is marking the phone up. That makes Next not be an interest-free loan. On the plus side it means you can discard that Next advantage from your decision process.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinezma99:
Well, we now know buying through AT&T the Nexus 6 comes:

Carrier branding on back

Carrier lock

Higher total price
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinezma99:
Anyone know when AT&T stores will have Nexus 6 in stock? They had to ship all of them back to Motorola.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
I have ATT and took the nexus 6 to get the new sim.

I just had them give me a sim and did not want the IMEI on the account.

No issues with LTE at all. I did change my APN settings to match my Nexus 5 and have not had any issues.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

I was in ATT store to get my new sim for mine from Moto. They had them in stock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzzyBunnyFeet:
Are there network differences between AT&T, Google and Moto N6?

Based on the AT&T, Google and Motorola web sites, the Network and Bands of the Nexus 6 appears to be different:

AT&T

4G-LTE Bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 20, 25, 26, 29, and 41

4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul

3G - UMTS 850/900/1900/2100MHz

GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz

Google (North America)

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz

CDMA Band Class: 0/1/10

WCDMA Bands: 1/2/4/5/8

LTE Bands: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/41

CA DL Bands: B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29

Motorola

Networks

GSM/GPRS/EDGE, UMTS/HSPA+, 4G LTE

Bands - Americas Model (XT1103)

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

CDMA (800, 1900, secondary 800 MHz)

WCDMA (1, 2, 4, 5, 8)

LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 29, 41)

CA DL (B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29)

Is it significant that:

The AT&T 4G-LTE list includes band 20, while the other 2 LTE lists do not include this band

AT&T lists "4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul" while Motorola lists "HSPA+" without "enhanced backhaul" and Google says nothing about HSPA+

The AT&T 3G - UMTS list includes 2100MHz, while the other two spec lists do not include 2100MHz anywhere

Google doesn't include "3G" or "UMTS" while Motorola lists "UMTS" without any frequency specs

What I'm trying to understand is, if I buy a Nexus 6 from Google or Motorola for use on the AT&T network, will I miss out on some network capability or performance due to the differences in the Network/Band specifications?

If I will be missing out on something, how significant might it be?

TIA
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleuiko:
I just bought a Google Play version, I really hope I am not missing any bands or need to use a AT&T IMEI from the store again like I did with the N5... that was a pain.

Just an update with My Moto version working fine on ATT. I'm even able to tether with out the build prop change. Again I did not give my imei for the rep to enter. I know they can get it from the device when it connects, but rep did not enter on my account.

LTE works fine. MMS works fine.

I have the att version, was out of stock to add a new line or new service but through premier upgrade I was able to snag it

Not sure but it seems they had some left even though showing out of stock....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinezma99:
What do you mean by Premier Upgrade?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bustabo:
I have no idea, I get a big work related discount and I've been with ATT for like 15 years, there's some sort of premier website, not even sure what it means but I got to it somehow while trying to upgrade and it was in stock.

Before that I kept checking the att website without logging in and it kept showing the nexus 6 out of stock ....

Premier is the personal equivalent of a business account with personal liability. It is negotiated with the company to get discounts for employees as well as their business lines. I have been a Premier for about 8 years.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozziedog:
I had the Nexus 6 64GB from Play Store Google and on AT&T for a week with nothing but network problems. New Sim card and APN didn't help either. The first time they cut the connection AT&T told me that it was an unauthorized phone and not recognized by their network. I gave them the IMEI and told me that I should not have anymore problems. Two days later had the same disconnect issues. They reset everything and still happening. AT&T offered to order the 64GB model for me at the tune of $875.

Does anyone else using the 64GB model from Google, on AT&T having any problems??

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qnc:
Have you tried a new Sim card? I bought mine directly from Motorola no issues. I never gave AT&T my IMEI. The store rep should give you a new sim card no cost. I did swap out sim when I got message that I needed new sim card for LTE speeds

Try that and reboot your phone.

I don't know what APN you have but I have:

Name - ATT Nextgenphone

APN - nxtgenphone
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tory13579:
I bought and use my N6 through AT&T. Once I got off their stock ROM I had no issues and still haven't.

Year it is only 32gb, blue, and locked with logo but I personally don't care. The phone is awesome!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozziedog:
I will try that when the new one comes in, I sent original back to Google and I'll get new one Monday. Yes that's the Name and APN I was using. What the at&t corporate store manager told me to bring it in when I received it and they would set it up and I shouldn't have any problems. Thanks for info.

C-RoM Version: C-Rom-KK-v7.1-20140623

Baseband version: N7000XXLT3

Kernel 3.0.80+ franz@labbuildsrv #1 (Jun 23, 17:51, 2014)

Build Number: crom_n7000-userbug 4.4.4 KTU84P eng.franzd.20140623.162534 test-keys

Recovery: TWRP v2.7.1.0

Hi, this is a really marvelous site. Very useful. I'm still learning about this side of android. I've installed 2 different custom roms.

1 Omni

2 SlimKat

With both roms i've had the same problem which is that the wifi stops working after a few days. It's impossible to enable it. I've investigated possible solutions, but i don't know enough to really be confident about what to do next. Should I:

option 1 - flash the kernel (does the kernel control the wifi drivers, etc?) If so, which kernel should I use? Can I use any Kernel? Where do I get them from? Is it done in recovery mode? Compatible with any recovery program?

option 2 - Flash the radio? Does the radio control the wifi or only the 3G/2G coms? How would I flash the radio? Where can I find the right radio?

option 3 - something else, entirely different?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamski101:
Is there anybody that can advise which compatible kernels I can flash with the this ROM, etc (config below)? I'm a little lost with compatibility issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
1: -> There has been no posts about issues on Wifi on the stock omni kernel. Yes kernel controls wifi drivers and if the kernel was broken, there would have been more reports of the issue.

2: -> Modem/radio has nothing to do with it.

3: -> Could be a hardware issue or loose connection inside the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamski101:
Bluetooth was always working, so it was a strange one. anyway...I took it apart and put it back together again. It didn't fully fix it, but wifi is easier to turn off and on now, ie, i don't need to reflash something to switch wifi back on. so it's a bit better.

Currently on CM111

UPS? or USPS (US Postal Service)?

UPS has a great tracking system. Sign up for UPS Choice (free), and you get notified as soon as a label prints for delivery to your address, and tracking updates.

USPS on the other hand, has a questionable tracking system, and sometimes hands off to "Laser Ship" who adds a delay getting status and tracking info.

(softwareupdates.amazon.com is a CNAME alias for updates.amazon.com, so might as well block both)

Also, you can block the string montoya-ota since all update files will start with that.
