[Resolved]

Help, I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 for various reasons,but now when I try to upgrade again I just get the pink screen ,if I try using the option from settings/storage,it says key data couldn't be backed up , the installation will stop. Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up completely so I can't even continue to use it in 2.2 can anyone advise ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] CrysisLTU:
Try to put the 2.3 dload folder to a sd card, then remove the battery, plug in a USB cable to the computer and the phone, volume up+down+power (if I remember right lol). See if it will update that way.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] imarsh72:
no, that's the usual way I've been flashing it, I can get to the image folder ,but it won't boot into recovery either
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] CrysisLTU:
Odd. Maybe try to flash the ICS pink screen unlocker? I had weird issues at some point too, then I flashed that and the problems went away. Afterwards flash ICS.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] imarsh72:
Just tried that,still no luck,it doesn't even get to the unpacking screen,it just stays pink. beginning to think its beyond repair
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] CrysisLTU:
I think it's still possible to fix it. I was loosing hopes too, but I messed around with it anyway and got it working. Just try different dload's, different methods and maybe you'll get it running. Maybe other users will have some ideas too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] imarsh72:
I've been trying all different ways, this is what I get when trying it from storage menu
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] CrysisLTU:
[MENTION=4586518]Moihack[/MENTION] maybe you have any ideas? You've written this to me before:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
Hi there!

I think when you upgrade from software menu there is an option for data back-up.

Uncheck this option and the error should go away.

Also what do you mean with this: "Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up" ?

What do you mean it locks up? Touchscreen is not responsive for example?

My suggestions:

1) Do a factory reset and then check if you can upgrade

2) Try re-installing your recovery(use cwm 5.0.27 by geno for best compatibility) or even replace the whole image folder with the froyo one from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2146856

Your phone is not beyond repair that's for sure. Since it boots fine.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] imarsh72:
I haven't noticed an option for data backup,will check again later on. And yes when it locks up touch screen becomes unresponsive and none of the buttons respond either. Also when I try to enter recovery ,both custom and stock, it displays the kernel logo then vibrates with a black screen for a second then back to kernel logo and continues to boot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] imarsh72:
Ok guys,I copied over the stock image folder and now it works ok, however I still can't upgrade from froyo. At least I can use it again though so thanks for your help, its much appreciated. Incidentally, there wasn't an option to back up data when upgrading, but that error has now gone, except it now just reboots instead, so I will just keep trying.

[Edit] Finally I've managed to upgrade to GB , had to put both step 1 and step 2 in the same dload folder and it worked. So cheers for the tips :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] DarkSkyGhost:
You've put all steps in one folder?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] imarsh72:
Steps 1&2 in dload folder ,step 2 renamed to UPDATE_G.APP.

Didn't use step 3 as I was updating to ICS after that
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Governuh:
So I'm a student who lives on campus and I have an issue that only happens when I'm connected to the university's WiFi. For some reason I constantly get UDP packets from hundreds of other computers/printers/etc.. that are connected on the same network which basically leaves my phone awake all they time (wlan_rx_wake wakelock).

Is there a way I could disable or stop network sharing on the note 4? The battery drain when WiFi is on is just ridiculous. Please keep in mind that I don't have access to a router here. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Governuh:
anyone?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyb:
UDP packets don't require a ACK packet from your side, so the should not be the cause that's keeping your phone awake AFAIK
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Governuh:
Could it be a different kind of broadcasts then? The issue only occurs at my uni's network and the only thing that I find abnormal there is the fact that I'm constantly receiving data from a hindered different devices at least.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] returnzer0:
UDP doesnt require a response, but it doesnt know it doesnt need to send a response until after the packet has been processed.

I wouldn't know how to do what you're asking without root.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Governuh:
I'm rooted but all my search on how to actually do it turned up nothing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Governuh:
Sorry for bumping this, anyone has an idea if what I'm asking can be done?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] returnzer0:
Yes. Most Android firewalls are just a GUI for iptables, which has this capability. There's lots of documentation on iptables. You may have to create the rule from the shell though.

I downloaded that edge burger game and on that games download page there is a screenshot that says you can color the panel on the edge, anyone have any idea how to do that?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
No idea, but every panel download has that same screenshot.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
I think it's more of an ad.

Like your coloring your edge with app (panels) that are different colors.

I.e. stock is kinda clear, notification bar is blue, burger game is red. Etc....

I don't thin they mean you can change the color of the bar. If they do i dont see an option for it.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeking:
I think they are saying you can change the colors. My pedometer bar is light grey with black numbers, but the picture shows it as a bluish green with bright numbers. Maybe it's something that was left out in the final build

ok guys well im on stock 4.4.4 and i just unlocked the bootloader. Anyway to obtain root or flash custom roms? i have read through both general and question sections but cant pinpoint an answer. i see most roms need unlocked bootloader which is fine and i see there is a dual recovery for locked and unlocked bootloaders but would i just need that and flash that without root and i can start flashing roms? sorry if these questions sound idiotic, i can assure you i am no noob doing these things as i came from the htc m8 and this is my first xperia device and flashing and rooting and unlocking bootloader was definitely a new process slightly with this phone. Again i have already unlocked bootloader which took some time but went through thanks :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.R™:
Or you could flash a custom kernel, doomlords for stock or m5 for cm based via adb then flash the rom you want, obviously if you flash the cm kernel a stock rom won't boot but you'll still be able to access recovery to flash a custom rom :)

Hi,

I´m on ANE2 with Towelroot. Since day one i have some audio drop outs. Its not massive, but maybe a hickup every minute or so.

Now i want to use my phone in a sense that i need the audio to be flawless , just as my S3 was.

Do you experience the same?

btw. The player doesn´t matter and it doesn´t matter either if i use the jack output or bluetooth.

thx

yup i faced this same issue today but only on Flac audio

I used towelroot to root my sgp561, SuperSu works, TB works at freezing apps, but i can not get busybox to install because it does not have read/write access to the system neither can i edit build.prop once i make changes to it save and reboot the changes are reverted back to default like i didnt even change anything. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
You didn´t mentioned which firmware you are currently but generally you can have system r/w acces by installing [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]´s XZDualrecovery. Link is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2794175

It disable SonyRic which is to blame that you don´t have system write acces. You could also try to flash this in custom recovery (TWRP) which just put [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] rickiller script´s to correct places: https://mega.co.nz/#!EEwwyTCK!A9mukPNmnuULXCXaU_mmwmvfxLXxythip2PGqd-u4DI.

I'm running 17.1.d.0.437 and bootloader is locked since it is Verizon model and not able to load a custom recovery. So by not being able to have a custom recovery the reason? I have a locked bootloader on my note 3 and able to have root without issues. I know different devices.

edit: Just notice that link you sent is for locked bootloader. never saw that post. I look at it. Thanks

I'm on pace for about 4hrs OST. Not good.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
How long have you had the phone? I'd give it a few cycles before drawing any conclusions.
[Nexus 6  General] htowngator:
It's fine especially with the turbo charge and Qi charging options.

I'll pretty much be able to have it charging anywhere easily since I have a few Qi charging plates available (Tylt on my desk, for example).

Turbo charge will get it an hour of OST in a few minutes of charge.
[Nexus 6  General] Davil_79:
Hade you listened to music with headphones yet?

It would be very interesting if you had the opportunity to compare the quality and max volume with another phone for comparison:)
[Nexus 6  General] wondercoolguy:
Did you do no research before buying this? Did you get the phone out of a mystery box? I hate to sound like an A-hole but I just don't get it. All of your other points are valid and informative but you buy a big phone then complain about the size is dumb to me.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
There's nothing 'dumb' about this. Reading stuff and actually using something is very different. You can't get an idea of phone size and usability without owning it.
[Nexus 6  General] wondercoolguy:
That is a great point thank you when I go up to TMO here in a few hrs I'm bringing my headphones to test out the music quality

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Guy thinks 5.5 would be perfect but 5.9 has no idea the difference in size?

If can't tell the difference then maybe go to the store before spending 650.00. It's what I'm doing not because I don't know the size but I like to try a device before spending the money.
[Nexus 6  General] evocalante:
I think it just depends on your hand size. Personally, I've texted with one hand so for me it's not bad.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
4hrs OST? :(. do you listen to a LOT of music with the screen off? Please say you do please say you do.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
Not a lot. Probably 30 min. It is my second cycle so I expect better.
[Nexus 6  General] lensgrabber:
THIS! There was at least one report that the volume was low. I gotta have my music. Bluetooth is okay but I'm happiest with my Bose headphones on. If audio sucks it's not worth having. Here are my experiences

Galaxy S2 = low volume, sucked beyond suck

Galaxy S3 = no complaints

Moto X 2013 = no complaints

Nexus 5 = not as good as Moto X so sent back

OnePlus One = no complaints

iPhone 6 = oh yeah Spotify sounds awesome

Nvidia Shield portable = oh yeah! I can't turn it up all the way it's too loud but it sounds great.

I certainly hope they didn't screw this up on the Nexus 6.

Interesting review. Did you try the N5 with 5.0? It runs even faster than on 4.4 and possibly loads faster than the N6 since there's no encryption, though there are still some compatibility issues with certain apps and ART which the N6 would also share.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
@ spartanm99

You had the Nexus 6 for 1 hour. You don't own the Nexus 6 and won't based on your assertions. You do own a Note 4 and iP6 is that right?

While I appreciate your thorough and lengthy assertions it's hard to take them without a grain (large grain) of salt.

Curious, did you own the N5 ever?
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
I never tried the N5 with 5.0 so I can't comment on that, just the 4.4.4 version :)

Interesting points though - thanks!

I used the N6 for about an hour. You didn't like my review conclusions I'm assuming...My review is exactly what I experienced in an hour of use; the only thing that I can't talk much about is the battery.

You don't need a month or even three days to be able to tell someone how a phone operates in regards to:

- Sound quality (speaker)

- Music playback quality

- Taking pictures in one location (inside room, normal lighting)

- Taking 4K video in the same conditions

- App opening speed

- Overall OS speed and basic use

- Build & Design in hand

I can give a good idea of all this in an hour. Anyone can. These are basic points which can be experienced in an hour. The sound quality is not going to change in an hour if I kept the phone for a week. It will still sound the same. The app opening speed won't change either etc.

Absolutely take with a grain of salt as this is my detailed experience with the phone, but saying a large grain is a bit crude and just sounds like you don't like my opinion of a phone you likely paid for. I didn't pay, my review is not biased in any way and I have nothing to gain from writing something negative (or positive). Will I ever own a N6? Maybe, if it becomes cheap enough or if I am gifted one. This is just not a $1,000 phone (64gb for me is about that; 32gb is about $900 shipped) - plain and simple. :)

I do own a Nexus 5 (since launch); as per my sig. Yes I have experience with a N5.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Didn't mean to come off as crude that is the last thing I want to sound like. I think your opinion is just that, your opinion, and I neither like or dislike it. Sorry you took my reply the wrong way. 1 hour is not enough time in my opinion, even one day would not be enough time. That is my opinion. Thanks for your input
[Nexus 6  General] katamari201:
No Tech Blogs. i.e. I don't care about objective reviews, I only want to hear 100% positive responses and live in a positive feedback loop where all my Nexus 6 buddies and me circlejerk. I claim the phone's qualities are subjective, but then dismiss all negative opinions as those by a bunch of phonies and not "real" and far below mine.
[Nexus 6  General] eduardmc:
Have my nexus 6 and note 4 in my hand right now. Returning my nexus 6 tomorrow to tmobile.

If u own a note 4, u most likely going to be turn off by HOW BAD nexus 6 screen is compare to it. I wasnt turn off because the the note 4 is MUCH brighter, cooler, whiter, vibrant. Its because nexus 6 screen look so Blurry compare to note 4 crazy sharp display. To me it doesnt look 1440p it looks like a blown up 1080p screen on such large screen (only a blind person wouldnt be able to tell the differents)

Icon and fonts looks so blurry/fuzzy. If u dont own a note 4, u will be fine since u wont notice it. If note 4 screen is a A+ i give the nexus 6 a C+.

The sizes is good

build quality is ok but really like the curve design since it Feels much thinner than my note 4.

speaker are ok. Not even close to M8 quality but sound better than note 4

(Note 4 speaker are louder)

Lollipop OS is smooth but not buttery smòoth all around. U get lags here and there.

is smoother than the note 4 but not faster in opening apps.

Nexus 6 is great but cant hold against the note 4

I really wanted to love it since i love stock android but the trade off is not worth it. My intention was to return the note 4 but i guess after first.hand experience the nexus 6 will be returned back.
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
Lmao. I hate when ppl get bent out of shape because someone said something bad about a phone they want to be so awesome.
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
Thanks for the support :)

Great info on Chinese phones; I was aware that the customer service is bad with them but essentially the fact that they can put equal or better specs in their phones tells me that Google can easily do it too (as can Samsung) - but they won't. I expected the Nexus 6 to at least have a better screen and camera then it does for the crazy price. If Chinese phones can do it, so can Nexus. If VIVO can make super thin phones with an 805 inside + 3gb RAM + 3500-3900mh battery + QHD displays + 16mp OIS rear camera/8mp FFcam etc...so can Google and keep the current Nexus 6 price.

I just feel like this is still a budget phone but the price and casing is different.

Edit: 750 after tax is a bit too expensive for me too! But I hope you enjoy the phone; I'm sure with updates it will get better. If you are coming from a phone like a Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S3 - perfect - the Nexus 6 will be good for you. Did you get white or blue? Apparently there is a 'sand' colour in the pipeline too!

I liked your review even though you only had one hour it seems you optimized your time with it.
[Nexus 6  General] mysterioustko:
My initial impressions are as follows:

1 - While yes the phone is large, it doesn't feel like you're holding a large phone. In my opinion, it feels smaller than it really is. It actually is very comfortable to hold, and feels premium.

2 - The display looks great.

3 - The speakers sound very good. Not quite on the level of boom sound, but definitely better than everything else on the market, by a long shot.

4 - The phone is very fluid, responsive, and snappy.

5 - Turbo charging is AWESOME.

It's too soon to know about battery life, since I just got the device yesterday, and I just got an OTA update last night. Today will be my first full day on a charge, and first day of use after the OTA, so we'll see what the battery life looks like going forward.
[Nexus 6  General] BlueGoldAce:
Would have to disagree with you. I have both the note 4 and nexus 6 now. The nexus 6 screen is great, and the note 4's is better....but the nexus 6 screen is still great. I don't know what you are doing to get blurry anything on this screen. The nexus 6 screen looks wonderful, and only falters next to my note 4...but not in a big way. Since I won't keep both phones, doesn't really matter in the long run.

Beyond that I agree with you. I am actually loving the nexus 6. I have always loved pure android...but the nexus 5 had horrible cell service for myself...and I really don't like manufacturer skins, so I left android for about a year and spent some time with iOS.

I upgraded to a 6+, but decided it wasn't worth the absurd amount of money and got the cheaper, yet better note 4. Love my note 4....but I really don't like touchwiz. I also am getting better batter life on my nexus 6 compared to my note 4. Really weird...but I never did get great batter life with the note 4.

Sound quality, with head phones, is good on the nexus 6. The note 4 can get louder, but it also gets distorted. The nexus 6 gets loud, and maintains a good level of quality. Same can be said for the speakers.

Anyway....the phone is a really nice piece of hardware. Yes the note 4 might have a better screen, but the nexus 6 has a great screen, and stock 5.0 is the trump card, at least for me.

Ill have to make a final decision in 14 days, once the newness wears off.
[Nexus 6  General] larswall:
Do you have a frame of reference for the Headphone quality. Compared to say the iPhone 5? I listen almost exclusively through my IEMs. Would you say it's better/worse than the iPhone 5 (the phone I'm coming from) for that purpose? I'm probably going to keep my old iPhone 5, and might just turn it into a glorified iPod Touch if the Nexus 6's playback is that bad.
[Nexus 6  General] mr pnut:
I have the note 4 and the oneplus, Im sorry to say but my n6 is taking over I'll be selling my note 4 the phone is a beast in my opinion, screen looks good, also the speakers are loud enough for me.
[Nexus 6  General] mgbotoe:
I was enjoying your thread and review until I got to this point. Thanks anyway
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
I can't compare to the iPhone 5 as I've never used one properly let alone with headphones. Compared to the iPhone 6+, it is noticeably worse. To me it sounds basically the same as the Nexus 5 playback quality, despite having a new chipset, it doesn't have anything hard-wired for high quality music playback so the results are so similar to the Nexus 5.

This phone will not replace your iPod while the iPhone 6+ will. If the iPhone 5 has a dedicated music chip inside it (if you know what I mean) it will be better than the Nexus 6 too.
[Nexus 6  General] osetivo:
I also have the Nexus 6 and my second AT&T Note 4 in hand and do not disagree with anything you said, but I will probably make the opposite decision based upon the Note 4's very poor GPS. (It's accuracy is important to me)

It's a tough agonizing decision because the Note 4's camera and screen are THAT much better.

So, I got a free download of Gravity from the play store. Downloaded this, and plugged in my ATH-M50 headphones. I can confirm the audio quality out of the headphone jack is nothing short of amazing. Literally felt like I was in a movie theater all by myself. Paired with the amazing screen, and it was a ridiculous experience.

Right now I appear to be suffering from some sort of battery drain, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions on that until I have a larger sample size.
