[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekpeter:
as the title suggests rogue app(s) managed to utterly trash my 6" chinaphone, ive checked pretty much every forum post in existance i can find regarding how to get it back to factory standard but cant find anything that works, most posts end up talking about the Star/Upai N9880 which should be the same however the roms/recovery images for that refuse to work on SP Flash Tool, complaining about running out of space so im guessing its not compatible at all with those roms.

SP Flash Tool Error is always BROM ERROR : S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE (5069)

Cant find a single rom for the Dapeng model tho, just Upai/Star, everything on the flash tool side works its just that i have nothing that will actually flash properly (only thing that fits is the preloader).

any clues as to where i can get the proper factory rom(s) from instead of the few star/upai modified packages which refuse to flash?

cheers for any help tho i suspect its a dead weight.

[T-Mobile LG G3] dsp4774:
It's all a bit shady, T-Mo. The big players out there have been working on getting rid of these throttling practices. I love ya, and I've never actually hit the data wall, but this kind of thing just needs to go.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
I feel ya. Im on unlimited data, but they still throttle. They just dont admit it...
[T-Mobile LG G3] terry6v:
Supposedly I'm paying extra per month. to have true unlimited data without the throttling. So far i haven't had slow down and i use about 20gb per month on just my line. I would be very upset to be paying extra and still slow down
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
I might be wrong, but I read the article and it seems that people are taking out of context. If you have unlimited data, you will never be throttled, well maybe the top 00001% of users who are using a TB or more a month to replace home internet and are torrenting day and night. If you don't have unlimited data, T-Mobile states clearly how much High Speed Data you will get and it clearly states that it will be throttled when you hit the threshold. The issue in the reduced data test is simply that even if you were throttled because you used more than your 1 or 5 GB plan of High Speed Data, or whatever you have, if you went to speedtest.net, the test would still show LTE speeds and the FCC thinks its disingenuous, because it is. They aren't donig anything shady or backdoor to users with unlimited data by throttling them, they simply need to throttle the speedtest app when those without unlimited data go past the threshold of High Speed Data.

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

I don't believe this for a minute. I use from 20-50GB a month on my phone and I have never been throttled, not once, ever. I think you are making this up, or you're in an area where you get 2G and not LTE and think they are throttling you.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

The big players don't offer unlimited data, they just keep charging you a ridiculous amount of money when you go over your allotted amount of data. T-Mobile doesn't throttle unlimited data at all. They clearly state that the 1G, 5G, 10G plans will be throttled when you pass the threshold, there is nothing shady going on here. I'm not sure why people think there is.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
Ok buddy believe what you wish. I live in Dallas where get amazing LTE. Tell me how I get 70 megs down at 5 in the morning and then 5 megs down at 10 in the morning after I start to get up there in usage.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
Hmm. Maybe because most people aren't using towers at 5am but a hell of a lot are at 10am? You call 10 down a throttle lol. That's faster than most LTE on other carriers. Throttling by t-mobile is 2G coverage. I know this because my kid only gets 1gb of data per month and when she goes over she's throttled. I get anywhere from 15 to 70 megs down. Thats not being throttled.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
I have the unlimited data plan and I use around 80gb a month. I don't think I've ever been throttled but there's those days were I totally noticed my Internet speed has gone significantly slower. T mobile might be sneaky and throttling every now and then but can't say for sure. If the FCC finds this to be a problem it's probably cause they know t mobile and other big companies do it. People that work in big businesses do some shady things to earn a buck.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
The article states the problem is that while T-Mobile customers who have gone over their high speed data threshold are throttled, when they use an app like speed test it opens the bandwidth and shows LTE type speeds because they don't want their national average to go down. This has absolutely nothing to do with T-Mobile throttling anyone with unlimited data or some weird throttling conspiracy. It's simply about T-Mobile needing to change the way speed test reports on a phone that has been throttled because the customer used all their high speed data. That's all it is.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
This only happens after I start to get high on usage. Not at the beginning of my cycle. Trust me Im very aware of my coverage and usage. I have two LTE towers within a mile in each direction from my home. If I say they are slowing my speeds then they are. What do I have to gain from lieing and Im not an idiot. The thing is I work overnight so Im at home at ten a.m. when no one else is. If anything they should remain high at ten because no one is around me to clog the signal..

and as I stated I get 5megs (if that) not 10 which to me is slow..
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
I guess we have to define high usage then. I have 10 days left until the new cycle and I'm on pace to hit 65GB this month. speedtests give me 23.4, 66.2, and 55.8 megs down. I do not feel that I am being throttled, in fact, it'd be really darn hard to use 60+GB of data on a line that is being throttled. Some days, I'll even get 8-10 megs down, but the next day, it might be 70 in the same area. There are a ton of reasons that your speed may be slowing down and they don't necessarily mean you are being throttled, but I might be wrong, I was never a big tin foil hat guy.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
Yes its all just a conspiracy. The phone company is out to get me.. Smh
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
It's hard to argue with the hard fact that you presented "if I say they are slowing me down They are". I guess you are right, I can't argue when such ironclad scientific data is present.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
Oh you're like most of the other xda guys, always looking for an arguement.. I don't feel like talking anymore. I know what happens with my service you dont, I dont have to give you ironclad data you are nobody to me. I wasnt looking for an explanation nor your opinion. I simply stated what I experience and since you obviously know it all this has run its course.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dbh369:
I'm a lightweight compared to you guys, my plan is only 5Gb, but I've hit that limit a few times and even then have not been throttled. And I'm not judging by speedtest.net, since as the article said, that lies, but by watching hd video streams, for instance or clocking downloads. I have the xposed bit rate monitor running.

Since Verizon used to charge me a dollar a megabit for running over, I have no complaints on t-mo!
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
I'm not looking for an argument at all. If you state something that is baseless, as fact, and then do nothing to support it, you should expect to get questioned about it. That's pretty much it. Moving on.
[T-Mobile LG G3] thewalkingdude:
I have 5 gigs and have gone over a few times. They drop me down to 20k not 5 meg when I go over.
[T-Mobile LG G3] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
I definitely get throttled so idk how this guy uses 65gb. I pay for 3gb and when that 3 is up it literally takes minutes to load any web page other than google, sometimes even timing out. I find myself just not using my phone because of it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Semantics:
If by "this guy" you are referring to me, well, it's quite simple. I have unlimited data, and T-Mobile doesn't throttle unlimited data.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ph37rd:
You appear to be the one looking for the argument. Throttling a line down to a slower speed is not going from 70 down to 5. It would be 70 down to .5. You get throttled down to 2G speeds. For reference, consider these:

Scenario: Your boss needs a large presentation emailed to her in 5 minutes.

4G LTE—No problem. It takes approximately 3.8 seconds to send a 5 MB File.

2G—How current is your resume? Sending a 5 MB file could take more than 8 minutes.

Scenario: You just took the most awesome “selfie” and want to share via Instagram.

4G LTE—Done before you can say “selfie.”

2G—By the time this shows up on Instagram, it will qualify for Throwback Thursday.

Scenario: You are waiting at the airport and would love to catch your favorite show on your tablet.

4G LTE—Grab the peanuts! It should take only about 7 seconds to start streaming.

2G—Video? Seriously? Maybe that guy sitting next to you is on 4G LTE and will let you watch on his tablet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nicktheqwik82:
You may have answered this but searching through 62 pages of posts to find my answer seems a bit obscene, so quickly, if I am on factory ND3, am I ok to flash a ROM with a different version, such as NJ1, or can I only flash an ND3 based ROM? If the latter is the case I'm just screwed cause there are no ND3 based ROMs out there. Thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dposea123:
You can flash them. In fact many of the ROMs are modified versions of other platforms ROMs, like TMobile, tweaked to work on AT&T.

[LG Optimus L90] BellaMay95:
I know that wi-fi calling only works on the stock firmware. However, since we do actually have it to begin with, would it be possible to bundle the files up and create a flashable .zip file, like what was done for the Nexus One on CM7?

Also, whenever T-Mobile decides to push their Lollipop update with the wi-fi calling will that be baked into the android code or just a t-mobile add-on? And in that case will it be possible to get that onto a custom ROM if the code is in the source already?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp555soul:
Hey everyone,

So I don't normally post, I usually just read, but wanted to ask this question/poll to current N6 users. I'm about to get my N6 on Wed (YA! :cool: ) and wanted to know, should I run decryption as soon as I get my device or give it some time (month or so) to wait for an update?

Battery life and performance are concerns for me and I know the device has the hardware to make it happen.

Thanks for any response.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aka757:
Might as well decrypt as soon as you get it. No point in waiting, as it will only increase battery life and performance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncraigtrn:
Unlock boot, decrypt, root, install greenify.

I managed 7hrs 8 minutes sot yesterday. Up from 3.5 my second cycle before doing the above mentioned. Helps immensely.

Noticeable responsiveness improvement and remarkably better battery.

This is my experience.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msal:
Quick question..

Will doing any of that prevent OTA updates from Google?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncraigtrn:
Short answer: probably. But that's the only way to drop the encryption for the time being.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsukasa Buddha:
Root will. OTAs that overwrite boot.img will re-encrypt. At least that is the theory, as it hasn't happened yet.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSopranos16:
It would be really good to hear from Google as to whether or not they are working on addressing this issue. I read many of the popular tech sites but haven't even seen one mention that they reached out to Google for comment on this. I'm going to give this a week or two to see if we get a response from Google or not. Even with encryption, battery is getting me through a day and performance is much faster than I'm used to. Still loving the experience, but the tech nerd in me is bothered by the fact that it can be even better without encryption.

I would also be curious to see if any of the tech sites that do a battery rundown test have redone the test with encryption off. It would be good to see some real metrics that measure the effect it has on battery.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
If you wait it will require a complete factory reset of your data. That should help you decide.

I don't think reviewers are saying anything because it isn't an issue in every day use. I tried the phone both ways and couldn't tell a difference in how the phone felt. Only benchmarks really showed any difference. I don't think reviewers care much about benchmarks other than to run a few for the nerds among us.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSopranos16:
So you didn't notice apps loading any faster? Particularly games or apps with a large footprint? To be honest, I want it for the battery life more than anything. If encryption is really being processed in the CPU, that is very inefficient and all those extra CPU cycles are wasting battery.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncraigtrn:
I noticed improvement in performance. Not a lot as the device is already lightning fast. I'd imagine the more user data there is to decrypt/encrypt the more noticeable the performance would be. But yes battery life seems to have improved immensely.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp555soul:
Thanks everyone for voting!

Just got my N6 (WHOA...this thing is a change from the N5) and Im going to go with decryption. Unlocking as I type... :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddman_21:
do you have something else except for greenify for battery increase? for greenify don't you have to install xposed which is not compatible(or fully) with lollipop(uses art) ?thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupfulloflol:
Xposed has an alpha that works on Lollipop, and I think there is a beta version of Greenify that has more features and works with the Lollipop version (the old one may work too).

Amplify is another one I have seen a few people mention in efforts to get better battery life.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The original greenify xposed module doesn't work but amplify and greenify beta both work great

D) probably rest it in there for the meantime.

Yes and its not wide enough.

B) my current solution for my Note 2 in my Audi A4 when I don't have it mounted on the windshield.

I can slip it here but it's in an awkward position.

C) there is probably a proclip solution that would mount here... Probably not what you want but they are nice.

Nice but too far out of the way.

D) probably rest it in there for the meantime.

I can't it will slip around too much. Cup holders are too small.

I use the a-pillar one in my Expedition and love it. Its not in the way, but easily within eye-sight while driving, and its like in the corner of the cab, so if a thief looks in the window, most likely looking towards the center console area and wont see it.

As pointed out above, get a proclip. For over a year, I have a proclip vent mount setup in my 4Runner along with a hardwired Qi charging pad. LOVE this setup and will be buying a larger holster for the N6 since the previous N5 holster doesn't expand wide enough to hold the bigger phone.

I dunno where you got that info from. I've had the defender on mine since day one and no problems with it at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] k3u:
I don't know how you guys can put such an ugly bulky case on something so beautiful. Trust me, I'm all about protection, I've never cracked a phone before (*knock on wood*) but I feel like putting something like this iBlason case or the traditional OtterBox just covers up the true beauty of the phone. I usually go with a Spigen case (good protection, yet not as bulky). This time around I'm going for the Ringke Slim case with a wrist strap.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iridaki:
I understand where you're coming from and I too find the Ringke slim case exceptional in terms of looks and minor protection. But after using it for a whole month, I finally caved in and ordered an Otterbox Defender. I just don't want to be afraid of damaging my phone. Being able to use it with an extra peace of mind is worth sacrificing the appearance in my opinion. After all, you can always take it out of the case and it'll still be the beautiful, slim phone you purchased. But each to their own, I can only speak for myself. :)

Is Tech Armor for rugged case a good buy?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Romans8vs1:
I have the UAG and the Otterbox Defender for mine. I used a UAG on my Note 2 for 2 years and was completely satisfied and feel that it is a solid case. However, I like the amount of protection the Otterbox Defender gives and I also like the way it adds some bulk to the phone. It seems easier to hold.

That being said, it does not fit well in my pocket and I've actually started using a belt clip (included with the case) for the first time. The belt clip also doubles as a stand for your phone when you are charging it.
