Try this:

•	Press and hold Vol DN key then momentary press PWR key. Unit should power on into the bootloader screen. (you can now let go of the Vol DN key)

•	Use the Vol DN to scroll two positions down until the bootloader options show “Recovery mode”

•	Use the power key to select “Recovery Mode”

•	Wait for your phone to enter recovery. The display will show the laying down Android with a red triangle exclamation mark.

•	Press and hold the power key then quickly press the Vol up key (Caution pressing the power key for longer then 10s will reset the device).

•	The phone should now be in system recovery option mode.

•	Use the Vol DN key to scroll two positions down to the “wipe data/factory reset”

•	Use the power key to select that option.

•	Scroll down through the “no” option until you get to the “yes” option using the Vol Dn key 7 positions.

•	Use the power key to select that option.

Your phone should now eared and reset back to factory mode. Once completed, use the power key to restart the device.

Else you can use the following fastboot commands to reset:

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

Hope that helps,

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
You don't need to enable Developer Options just to unlock the bootloader. When I first powered on my N6, I went right to the bootloader screen without loading Lollipop at all, since I knew it would delete everything, so why go through the setup process twice?

I did fastboot oem unlock, and rebooted. I only enabled Developer Options after I unlocked bootloader, and set up Lollipop

Not using current games on Android, because they do not max out our hardware yet, but using specs as a guide where would a maxed out Android game compare with an xbone or Ps4?

I can't swear to it, but I want to think at the Iphone 6 event Apple claimed it would be able to have as good or better graphics than current consoles, and being its' specs aren't up to Android I am just curious

I am still amazed to see Dreamcast games on Android!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0j0j0j0:
I think android phones evolve quicker than apple so when new technology comes out many handset makers integrate new technology in their devices as it becomes available. I am very impressed with the graphics on this note 4. Gta san andreas plays very smooth.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vedarshi:
I use the dual sim version of Moto G, XT1033.

Currently, I am unable to boot into recovery. The exact message I'm getting is -

'Invalid boot image size!

failed to validate recovery image'

'Boot up failed'

Because of this, I cannot revert to any nandroid backup. Recovery refuses to boot.

When I try to flash the stock ROM through fastboot, this is the message I'm getting

The flash simply fails.

However, my phone is still working. But it's on a nightly version of unofficial CM11, which has a systemui fc bug. The October 11, 2014 version - to be precise. Prior to this every nightly I downloaded would update by booting into CWM and then updating. Ever since this one, I am unable to boot into the recovery. I don't know whether it has been caused by the nightly or some internal error, but I am unable to revert to stock. The force close bugs are getting ridiculous now;they've been more frequent since the past few days.

Is there any way I could get back to stock?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vedarshi:
I got it to work by flashing an old version of CWM again.

[Samsung Gear S] Cyman:
I am very happy with my Gear S so far, only one ting is bothering me:

I don't receive any SMS Notifications on my Gear S (when paired by bluetooth to my phone), as a matter of fact I am not able to check the stock program "Messages" in the Notifications of Gear Manager, it just isn't there. Anyone has similar problems or a solution? Thank you!
[Samsung Gear S] bennie joe:
Every time I thought something was not working right on my Gear S, it turned out to be user error ;)

I almost brought mine back to T-Mobile because of that!

I assume you are in the US and have separate SIM cards for watch and Samsung phone? For that matter, I assume you have a compatible Samsung phone connected to Gear S?

If yes, here is how I set up my settings:

In Gear app on phone:

Notifications - manage notifications - make sure messages are enabled (along with all other apps you want to see notifications for, but I suggest to limit those, don't pick everything, the watch starts buzzing all the time then and it tends to drain the battery)

Limit notifications - don't check

List view - I have that checked

Settings - use remote connection checked

On Gear S:

Settings - mobile networks - use mobile networks: set to always on

If you use auto on/off, you will not receive any SMS sent to watch # while connected to phone via BT

Settings - notifications : check both list view and notifications

Settings - Messages - outgoing number: mobile device

Make sure you don't have "do not disturb" enabled under settings. I use that feature every night when the Gear charges and I sleep...it charges on my nightstand and drove me nuts the first night buzzing every time I received any type of notification... ;)

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Gear S] apprentice:
Yes. Everything was working this morning, but I received a text on my mobile and several emails, but they haven't appeared on the watch. And like you I can no longer see the stock sms app or email app in the list of notifications in Gear Manager!

This is very frustrating .
[Samsung Gear S] apprentice:
Update: I completely uninstalled then reinstalled Gear Manager - (which resulted in the Gear being factory reset too). This solved the problem but it did mean reinstalling and setting up all my apps from scratch which took forever.

It seems I was doing some clearing out of unused apps using a memory cleaning app that was a bit too thorough. I deleted one of the Gear Manager's components .
[Motorola Droid X2] endlessnameless2013:
Hello,

I recently bought a droid x2 to use on straight talk. The stock system was fairly laggy so I rooted it and installed eclipse 2.3. That was better but still unacceptably laggy. From there I thought I would give cm10 a shot. Based on what I read I figured it would be faster. I sbf'd my 2.3.5 x2 to 2.3.4. Rooted it and installed cm10. No problems. CM10 is actually the best I have tried thus far, however I could not get certain apps to run (I know this is known with cm10) and the alternatives to the app I want do not run either. So I thought I would give cm7 a shot. I started rsd lite picked the correct sbf, turned off my phone; held the power button while holding up to get into rsd mode on the phone. Then connected it to the computer. RSD saw it and I pressed start. The program went through the first phase fine; rebooted then only made it to 30% of the second phase and failed. I've tried rebooting computer, taking the battery out and letting it sit and now I fear the phone is bricked. Also I cannot seem to get it to charge; now when the phone boots up it says boot up failed (or something like that) then underneath that text will say rsd mode then underneath that it says not enough power to flash. Besides getting an external charger, is there a way around this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

[Motorola Droid X2] endlessnameless2013:
Thank you for the fast response man. I just ordered a cable off ebay. You wouldn't happen to have an idea as to what (if anything) I did wrong? I sbf'd the device twice now with no issues and then this happened.

Thank you again for the fast response..
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
bad usb cable, drivers issue, bad usb port (PC or DX2), bad sbf download, battery was too low but didn't get the warning right away, battery is old and not reliable...

verify md5 checksum for sbf https://sites.google.com/site/sdshadowscollection/home/hash-checksums

verify drivers

use rear usb ports on desktop pc, often front usb ports are not good for flashing

try a different usb cable

fully charge battery before flashing, if battery is more than 2 years old, it should be replaced

use a different RSD Lite version

use DX2 ezSBF it runs from a bootable cd/usb drive using a linux version called Slitaz (so no driver issues)

A couple of days ago i tried to unlock its bootloader..but it gives me an error stating that the password is incorrect.

No matter how many times I tried but it still gives me the same error..

Kindly Help.

Same Issue

I'm having the same issue and I have seen many others on the Motorola forums having this issue too.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkyle31:
My first nexus 9 had terrible light bleed in locations where everybody else is having issues: along the top bar, bottom left corner, and some along the left side. It was horrible to the point that I returned it to amazon within two days and got a new one. This new one has light bleed in the same locations but about 40% less. It is still noticeable in a brightly lit room when I am using an app that does not have a black bar at the top (e.g. google play store).

So, should I RMA for a second time? Does their exist any nexus 9's without backlight bleed? I'm not sure if it's worth it to keep playing RMA roulette so I was hoping for some input.

Other options are to look at some of the other tablets, in particular the Nvidia Shield and perhaps the new nokia tablet that was announced. Or maybe even go back to the dark side and get the new iPad air, although I really prefer the front facing speakers on the nexus 9/shield.

I am a medical student so my use is primarily productivity but includes: 1. Studying (highlighting pdfs, etc), 2. Accessing patient data through PowerChart, and 3. Multimedia stuff (twitch streams, youtube, netflix, etc.). It's therefore useful for me to have a somewhat larger screen, but not so large as to not fit in my whitecoat pocket. I'm worried that something like the Shield would be a bit too small for my uses. For reference I can barely squeeze an iPad 3 in my white coat pocket.

Any advice?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simmac:
This is what I do:

I will keep the tablet, as the bleeding is not terrible, and wait for two months or so (after christmas), until they improve their production quality, then I will RMA it in the hope of getting one nearly perfect tablet.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laz35:
But can you do that after having it for so long? What would you state as the reason for RMA?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simmac:
In my country (Austria) this should work.

My reasons will most likely be the lightbleed, the bad to nearly not working NFC and the bad volume rocker.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laz35:
I see. Im from Denmark myself and I imagine that the same rules apply here however in my order details it says within 15 days after delivery I can contact them if I have issues (bought it on google play). So this made me assume that they would question why I didnt raise the issue earlier. Maybe not. Hmmm
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simmac:
Is your NFC working fine?

If not, you can argue, that you haven't used NFC until this time.

However, here in Austria, (and probably in the whole EU), there is the "Gewährleistung" in addition to the warranty, which means, the seller has to prove that the issue wasn't there when you got it in the first 6 months after you received it.

But make a call to Google play and tell them your problem and my idea, I think, they might confirm that this is working.

And please tell us!

If I find time to call them, I will try that too.
