[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfld:
I have been using google messenger for a couple of hours and i like how fast and simple it is. One problem im noticing is some texts take forever to send when someone sends me a MMS. For instance my friend is also on verizon using a note 4 and using google messenger. He sends me a mms pic and it says downloading for about 5 minutes now and any texts i send to him or other people it will stay stuck on "sending"

Do they have a problem with MMS? No way its supposed to take this long, do i have to freeze the stock messenger?

yupp had the same issue then switched to samsung messeges all working fine.

I did use it b4 it was in playstore but looks like its not fixed yet.. thanks for the info!

When using Samsung messaging are you seeing this text shuttering (lag) while using? I have the paid handcent and have not tried the Samsung messaging.

So it's December 15 and this is still an issue with the application. Not quite sure it hangs when it receives an MMS. If you don't auto retrieve MMS messages though it doesn't lag out like this.
[Nexus Player General] jtboyz01:
So what does everyone see for the future of the Nexus Player? I'm hoping custom ROMS I'm not really liking how it wants to show everything Google first. Would be cool if it could see okay this guy has Netflix and Plex let's give him recommendations on those and also I'm not a fan with how it is laid out. Maybe I'm just to adjusted to how the Roku works.
[Nexus Player General] djwyman:
I am hoping (but not holding my breath on the first one) for amazon video, hbo go, and a few others support. That or maybe google should adapt a subscription service like prime instead of paying to buy or rent everything. I would also like to see more support for it on here as well.
[Nexus Player General] thecrunked:
i havn't tried it yet, but you can probably install hbo go thru play.google.com or by sideloading it. same is prob true for amazon video app
[Nexus Player General] djwyman:
I tried side loading amazon...it was a no go. HBO won't install from the play.google.com onto it but I have not yet tried it side loaded though. Which for me it wouldn't matter until HBO does their new subscription thing next year, it was more of a hey these things would make it more useful and competitive with other tv boxes out right now.

To clairfy amazon would install just fine however it would force close when trying to play a video right after it warns you about the device not using davilk (probably misspelled but that cache we all used to have to clear before installing new roms and such)
[Nexus Player General] Luxferro:
You can cast HBO Go w/ your mobile device. Not the same as a full blown app, but it works just like chromecast.
[Nexus Player General] bbb0487:
I got Amazon Instant Video and Amazon Prime Music to work.

First you will need to have sideloaded chrome and es file explorer.

Also, you will need to have a usb otg cable and a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Once you have those things you can navigate to apkmirror.com and download the amazon apk's.

I used es file explorer's downloader to download them.

Once installed, you can open them by using Chainfire's sideload launcher or from settings.
[Nexus Player General] djwyman:
I had them installed but for me the video one would crash as soon as I would try to play a video. Are the ones on apkmirror.com different than the ones on the amazon appstore?
[Nexus Player General] bbb0487:
Nevermind, I just tryed played a video and had the same problem.
[Nexus Player General] mikereidis:
The relative lack of posts here on XDA tells me that Nexus Player is not (yet) popular among "Android enthusiasts".

I think enthusiasm will grow, but many people may wait for a 2nd or 3rd generation device. Currently, there are complaints that it doesn't have an ethernet port, among other shortcomings at present.

I don't know if interest will pick up from "regular people". If Google had a good ad/commercial (on "normal" TV of course, LOL), sales could be good.

At present, custom ROM etc. development is slow/stalled. What other Nexus device came out that hasn't been properly rooted yet ? I hope and assume Chainfire will get us going better soon.

So far we can unlock bootloader and get a root adb shell. I'm not sure if the default popups for SuperSU work OK on TV yet. And x86 and 64 bit support ?

So,... I'm not sure that current NP will have much commercial success. But IMO there is very good potential for the future.

I am personally interested in "testing the waters" of app development on this Player. I have no interest at this time in any non-Android devices, simply because I have "hitched my wagon" in the 100% Android development camp.
[Nexus Player General] volwrath:
It will be popular imo. Just not enough out there...
[Nexus Player General] djwyman:
I think the platform will be a little more wide spread once it starts getting used in other boxes and tvs. Right now these and the adt-1 (which only a hand full of people have) and hopefully once these other devices get out there it will make more developers get interested in it.
[Nexus Player General] ChristianJay:
This turd...

:D
[Nexus Player General] EcPercy:
It will go in the dust bin... I have already gone back to my Roku 3 due to issues that I am having with NP and also Plex. This will also be the last "nexus" product that I buy. The things that Google pushes out seem to be in perpetual beta and I can't have that any more.
[Nexus Player General] AndroidTVTech1:
When You Don't Know What You Doing You Suppose To Get Turd Results

When You Don't Know What You Doing You Suppose To Get Turd Results For Real

Evidently, either you don't know what are doing or you don't know how to set the Nexus TV Player for best results!

Come on now, game knows game, I get top quality from ALL my Android TV boxes ... Know why, because I know how

to set up a Android TV box for best results ... First of all, ALL my connections and switches are GB Speeds, game knows game!

Enjoy your Roku box dude, it's made for you, plug-N-play with a million apps nobody wants!
[Nexus Player General] EcPercy:
You seem a bit mad. Does the truth hurt? Roku is doing something right. They have sold 10 million units. Nexus player? No idea, but I can guess it's nowhere near that. You also have articles coming out like this for the NP: Google’s Nexus Player: More prototype than finished product

Nexus player can't even connect to 5.0ghz wireless (RT-N66U). ALL other devices on my network (including this PC) work fine on 5.0Ghz. I assume you don't use Plex at all on NP as the video pauses every 20 minutes or so. I even saw someone on the Plex forum that was using MediaBrowser 3 (on NP) having the same issue. It makes me think that this is not an issue with Plex and MediaBrowser, but something with the NP itself otherwise why would two different apps have the same issue on the same platform?

I don't know about you, but I want a device that simply works. NP has a very nice UI, but not everything is working nicely. This has nothing to do with not knowing what I am doing. NP is meant to be a plug and play device not something you need to tinker with in order for it to work. Other issues I have with NP are: Wi-Fi disconnects for no apparent reason, voice search is hit or miss, recommendations are a mess (maybe this is app related I am not sure), and casting sometimes stops working for no apparent reason.

The point you are trying to make about Gb speeds. Doesn't really make sense. Are you implying that NP works better if I go spend more money to get the OTG cable and a LAN port? NO THANKS! If you need a LAN port to make the device work properly it should have been included with the device.

I will be the first to admit that Roku has a pretty crappy UI, but it WORKS! I don't care how many apps Roku has. My main ones I use are Netflix, Plex, and Youtube. I sometimes load up MediaBrowser 3 to see how they are progressing with the product, but that's about it.

The last thing that doesn't seem to look good in regards to the NP is the lack of new apps coming out. There was even a recent post in this forum somewhere about it. Will developers get on board? Developer support will make/break the product. Right now the NP and ATV in general is lacking in that department. Google will need to get off of their collective asses and fix the bugs in their product and push this platform hard or it will fall flat on it's face (much like Google TV did).
[Nexus Player General] AndroidTVTech1:
Enjoy!

{lol} Enjoy your Roku made for you plug-N-play!

The next Android TV box you should be getting http://armdevices.net/2015/02/04/ge...op-android-tv-on-amlogic-and-shares-strategy/ ! Monster specs!
[Nexus Player General] ClearD:
EcPercy is right. I own several rooted Chromecasts, a roku 3, a roku 1, and a nexus player. This is by far the least user friendly of all of them, when used normally (not casting to np). I'm still waiting on Amazon instant video. It works on my phone, why not on this? Seriously, Amazon, get on it. I don't want to end up with a paperweight, but Pluto TV and YouTube don't work right either. Buffering every 20 seconds is hardly worth my time and energy. I'm an RD here and know my way around android. I know well what I'm doing, and this device as it sits is simply not a good investment. You shouldn't have to fix something right out of the box to have it simply function as intended. I'm hoping the bugs get ironed out soon, both with Google and the individual app devs. A lot of it has to do with adding in support for lower bitrates.
[Nexus Player General] ChristianJay:
Agreed. I've got about 3 weeks to toy with it before off back to Amazon it goes. I kind of figured the return shipping would be worth a shot to see if it had any potential but as it sits, I don't know.

I absolutely LOVE the Plex interface with lollipop for TV's its easily the nicest of any Plex app including the Plexbmc with Amber, which doesn't work with the puck either I might add. Google has been disappointing me to no end lately, the N9's quality issues, the N6's availability issues, now this. Grrrr.

I just can't fathom how the Android TV "team" can release a device that can't play video nearly as well as their own $25 Chromecast dongle! I have two of those and they play everything I throw at them without a hitch.

What's telling as well is that the Fire stick has issues with Plex playing 1080 content too. I wonder if the new Razer box will be any better?
[Nexus Player General] projectpaki:
The only thing nice about the nexus player is the UI and it's potential. KODI is nice. I am hoping for a remote-friendly popcorn time to satisfy me, but development for NP is so weak. If it had hbo go, and showtime anytime, those are basic apps it should have just to be on the same level as it's competitors. But since it has come out, how many new apps have you seen show up in the play store? 2? 3? I always go to the device play store in hopes they finally get their shhit together. Android always has a habit of releasing something new and amazing and then neglecting it.
[Nexus Player General] LeeBear:
It's been taking forever for Android TV to pick up any traction but I'm still hoping the lack of Apps is a temporary problem. Remember this is a Nexus device it's basically a "baseline" for developers... unfortunately there isn't any other Android TV devices out in the market right now. This should change soon as there has already been a handful of manufacturer that are putting Android TV onto there 2015 Smart TV... the big notable ones are Sony, Vizio, and a slew of Chinese brand. It's still discerning that the big manufacturers Samsung and LG have decide to use there own proprietary Smart TV OS (Tizen and WebOS). I'd expect by March when the 2015 model TV's arrive we'll see some more Android TV apps.
[Nexus Player General] Wilberry:
Not sure if you are aware of the custom ROM LolliRock http://xdaforums.com/nexus-player/orig-development/rom-t2982801

But it is some solid work, provides Android 5 UI. It does require a mouse, keyboard is optional. I have had it for over a week and it is awesome, I have Kodi and a bunch of other apps it works well. You should check it out.
[Nexus Player General] Munkee915:
Not sure why all the hate against the NP. I went from ATVs running XBMC to Roku 3 and now to NPs in all rooms. So far I like the NP the best out of all. Granted, the Roku is more user friendly, but does not have anywhere near the potential of the NP (also, the Roku has been around much longer so has had more time to build up its offering of channels). One of the reasons I bought the Roku 3 instead of a lower end Roku was because they advertised gaming on it but was very disappointed in the offerings. Day 1 w/ the NP i had a few android games loaded, Retroarch, and Limelight and I was happier than a pig in mud. My kids (5 and 7) have no problems navigating the interface and getting to Plex, Youtube or any other app I have installed for them. From a hardware standpoint the only thing I wish the NP included was more ram and storage and an accelerometer in the remote like the Roku. Android 5 does need quite a few bug fixes/feature enhancements but nothing that's a deal breaker for me. You can't really blame Google for bugs in specific apps (Plex) or some apps not working on the NP (Amazon) that's up to the developer to update and fix them. You can blame them for some reason not putting these apps in the store on the NP. I have heard reports that devs have been submitting apps ready for the Leanback launcher but Google is not putting them on there for some reason, but they are still installable through the web. From what I understand their real push is to get OEMs to integrate ATV into the TVs themselves. I'm sure once they are able to push this into more homes w/ 3rd party boxes (Forge TV) and actual Android TVs it will take off. Just like the Android OS on the G1 was cool to play with but didnt do a whole lot until it became more widespread when 3rd party players started putting on their devices.
[Nexus Player General] acassidy89:
Check this out. Convert the nexus player to a mac mini since its x86 based..... GO!

Seriously though, would be badass
[Nexus Player General] ChristianJay:
The future for it is over for me, I returned it. Looks like I'll be seeing what the Razer Forge TV brings to the table, hopefully with the ability to use the Amazon Fire remotes.
[Nexus Player General] ktownhero:
The Nexus Player has a lot of potential, but Google seems to not be doing anything with it. No ethernet is strange, though wireless AC does work fairly well. A single micro USB port is also strange, especially considering that it is located in a place where a lot of cables struggle to fit (normal OTG cables). But even when you get a straight USB OTG cable, there seems to be some sort of handshaking problem that causes it to not register ethernet adapters correctly.

In addition to the above, the remote is too simplistic. If they added a single additional context button it would be infinitely more useful, but for some god awful reason they seem hell bent on having the bare minimum number of buttons. On top of that, there is no ability to customize the behavior of the buttons. Like, OK, you don't have a context button... But why not let me long press the OK button to get context? (for example).

There is a total lack of customizability to the UI. You can't even sort items, so all of the apps you install that you use the most are perpetually stuck at the end of the list. You can use a custom launcher, I guess, but they are kind of ugly.

I like my Nexus Player, but like most Google products, it seems a little over-engineered and unsupported. It's like in their quest to be sleek, they out-smarted themselves and made the device less useful. Kind of like how the Seahawks had the championship and outsmarted themselves at the goal line. I really, really want to keep the Nexus Player in my living room (especially since Limelight game streaming works so well), but I just got a Roku 3 via the SlingTV deal and it will probably bump the Nexus Player out of the living room. It is nice that it can run Kodi natively as well, but in the end the device just doesn't feel fully cooked and it's not nearly as wife/friend/visitor friendly as a device like the Roku.

If I knew what I know not I would not have purchased a Nexus Player. But I do have it, so I'm happy to keep up with what is going on in the hopes that it becomes a bit more mature one day.

Hi. I Would Just like To Know How To Create A Cab File That Had All The Settings I Used On My Phone.

I Just Upgraded The Firmware On My TyTN To The AT&T AKU 3.3 Rom And Being From The UK This Ment I Had A Lot Of Information To Change In Order To Get My GPRS,WAP,MMS,E-Mails And Keyboard Layout To Work Again.

Got mine working after similar problem for days...cm 14.1 installed

guys the only solution i worked out for this problem is..

1. unlock bootloader (not sure if it is a must)

2. using fastboot boot into twrp version 3.1.x.x or later using comamd

mfastboot boot twrpimagename.img

3.flash a twrp img file to the recovery from there i can confirm versions 3.1.1.0 and 3.1.0.0...

nb. you can install it to either boot partition or recovery either will do

4. use ur newley istalled recovery to install a twrp compatible rom, either stock or custom...

I know on my Nexus 5, I had to install a newer version of TWRP because the Lollipop ROMs had to run an additional command to move the internal storage mount point to the appropriate place.

You should read the ROM thread and make sure that your Nexus 4 thread doesn't require any sdcard related "fixes" after installing Lollipop.

This is what fixed the Nexus 5 ROMs:
