Why you guys are contradicting and for some reason trying disprove the that this guys poor device did indeed come from Google, or that it is indeed out of box damaged is beyond me. Why would he lie about this? What would it gain him? Rather than trying to call him out on something thats false to begin with, actually help him?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistertac:
Yea I don't know either... There was another thread on here that just got shut down for similar things. A bunch of people came into the thread and ganged up and called the OP a troll and other things too.

Bob has said he was on a trip and couldn't get the pics for us until today. Hey whatever, I didn't give him some timeline in which he should respond back or I wouldn't believe him?!

It's just very strange, to me a troll is someone who pops into say the " Nexus 6 vs Note 4 " thread and says "Nexus Sucks! Nexus Sucks!!!! " and stuff like that.

Everyone should just chill out sometimes that's all. Bobbarker is not a troll or a liar I promise you.

Disallowing an exchange for this is pretty uncharacteristic of Google.

Why do you think Google is not allowing you to exchange the product?

Have you previously ever had to exchange products to Google play?

Have you ever disputed a Google play charge?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbarker2:
No to all. I don't know why, I've called several times and have always gotten the same answer. I think I'll just end up returning it, I don't want to give any money to a company who treats its customers like this.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistertac:
Seems very silly they won't help you out?!

If you receive something that's damaged out of the box, even if it's minor, there should be no questions asked.

Maybe this is one of this deals where you have to keep calling and get someone who can actually help.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drefsab:
I don't know the law in the States but over here in the UK there we have "distance selling regulations" which basically mean if you buy something online you have upto 7 days from the moment you receive it to return the item for a full refund for any reason.

Obviously that does not cover things like food and other perishable goods etc but in this case if I had got the item that would be thing thing I would beat them over the head with.

That doesn't even go into the consumer rights for faulty/damaged goods. Perhaps someone more familiar with the USA laws might be able to shed some light. I would recommend calling them again and restating the issue, point out that the goods are defecting upon receipt and advise that you simply want a replacement or a refund, point out also that you would prefer to deal with them amicably rather than going to your bank and doing a charge back. Only then if they don't help contact the bank.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbarker2:
I think I'm done with it tbh. I've already talked to half a dozen people including two managers, keep getting the same answer and really this is becoming more trouble than it's worth. I even called without giving my name/email just in case they weren't willing to exchange it because of something associated with my account but got the same canned responses.

Btw, notice how all the ragers got quiet after I posted pictures? lol.. they had a lot to say when they wanted to insult someone and put them down but when it comes to actually contributing positively to the community they are silent.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistertac:
That's truly amazing if you ask me that they would not just take that one back and send you another one. Seems like you should be within your rights with this whole deal. What exactly is the return policy and timeline??

And yes, all the people who were anxiously calling you a liar have suddenly disappeared!

Hey whatever.. When some people get behind a keyboard, or a car for that matter, they turn into complete jerks. Never understood it myself.

Hey guys... So I got a amazon fire stick cheap from someone... And it worked fine... But all a sudden it seems to have reset, and is now not logging into any of my amazon accounts. Keeps saying cannot verify.

Is there some kind of security feature where a fire stick can be deactivated from amazon or something.. ?

Any advice how to get around this...? It asks to connect to WiFi which it does fine... Then add amazon account... Which then it keeps failing to verify.

[Moto G General] dd043:
Android reserves part of the storage to make sure everything runs smoothly (sms, call log) if you accidentally fill your storage.

On our Moto G there is ~500MB reserved. It's especially frustrating if you have the 8GB version! You see this free space but the Play Store keeps telling you you can't install a 2MB app :eek:! I recommend keeping at least 100MB (2% on 8GB, 1% on 16GB), but you can probably go as low as 50MB.

I've been looking for a while how to disable this stupid check. All I could manage to find is articles about how to fix Play Store issues, not address this limitation directly. But today I gave it another try and found an article explaining the solution!

NOTE: This mod can be done a lot easier (no command line, no sqlite3 binary installation) using a visual sqlite3 editor from the play store, but I didn't find any free app that do root and I'm not sure if it's against the rules to post links to paid apps?

NOTE2: While it does require ROOT, it doesn't modify the system. If you wipe your data partition the change is gone!

For the time being here's the command line guide:

You will need root and the sqlite3 binary, I took mine on xda here

Connect through ssh or adb shell or open a terminal on your phone and run:

# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
SQLite version 3.8.6 2014-08-15 11:46:33
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
sqlite> insert into global (name, value) values('sys_storage_threshold_percentage', '1');
sqlite> .quit
# reboot

Note: sys_storage_threshold_max_bytes can be used instead of sys_storage_threshold_percentage if you prefer finely tuned size!

Hope it helps someone :)

[Moto G General] sermart1234:
You don't need root

adb shell settings put global sys_storage_threshold_max_bytes 0
adb shell settings put global sys_storage_threshold_percentage 0

Reset to factory settings

adb shell settings delete global sys_storage_threshold_max_bytes
adb shell settings delete global sys_storage_threshold_percentage

Also You can use SystemUI Tuner (System - Storage)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mvmacd:
Hi, someone in my family just bought a galaxy s4 for sprint. The (edit) home button was not working when she bought it, but I told her to get it because i thought it was an easy fix.

Now i already ordered the home/back/menu flex replacement part on ebay, it hasn't arrived.

Then i watched a video for a non-sprint version, how to replace home button and the process involved removing the digitizer with a heat gun & suction.

Is this the correct process for the SPH-L720? I have some experience with electronics and soldering, but i am slightly hesitant to undergo this operation on my sisters phone. Can anyone give any advice on my situation?

Also note that the charging board just broke so i ordered that too (i looked up a video and that's when i realized i cannot easily replace the home button board). Also the menu capacitive button doesn't light up or work. (Only back, power, volume works). I have accessibility set up now with software buttons.

Thanks for reading.
[Nexus Player Accessories] jaykresge:
Preface:

I don't own this item yet. I'm ordering tonight, and my Nexus Player arrives 12/2. I'll report back as I test different things with it (and the unit itself), but wanted to alert you guys to an item that looks pretty useful.

One of our own forum members, Hawke84, reviewed a prior product from this company (link to review), and Amazon reviews seem favorable for this particular product.

I am providing the Amazon link as a reference only. This is NOT an Amazon affiliate/reseller link and I gain no benefit from you clicking it.

The Product:

http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Inateck-Bus-powered-Laptops-Ultrabooks/dp/B00IJUDTBK

Comes in 4 flavors. Base model supports USB 3.0/USB OTG connectors, while having 4 USB 2.0/3.0 inputs. Two similar models replace the 4th USB input with your choice of Ethernet, or SD Card Reader. The final model is an Apple-style (so they say) 7 USB port input. I'm debating between the base model and the Ethernet model and will order tonight. I really think I'll be fine with WiFi, but given the issues I've heard, having Ethernet as an option might be better overall.

If anyone has any experience with this, do tell. Otherwise, standby for my feedback in a week or so. I plan to use this for storage expansion and to try it with any USB-based gamepads that I can find in my house before dropping $40 on an official one.

EDIT: Wife talked me out of it. Suggested waiting to see if we even like the NP (I'm sure I will), and she also noted that the Ethernet model doesn't support MicroSUB. Only the 4-port model comes with the microUSB adapter. Due to this, I'm going to go with an alternative, but still wanted to point out this product for those who were considering separate USB hubs and OTG/MicroUSB adapters. This is a cheap way to get both.
[Nexus Player Accessories] Elrondolio:
Looks like a useful device, but probably not for the Nexus Player. To date, all usb 3 adapters I've tried have not worked with the box, including a LAN adapter with a chipset that is otherwise supported on usb 2 versions. Until newer drivers are incorporated in lollipop on the NP, I'd recommend sticking with usb 2 devices.

If you have an AC router in your home, you'll most likely be fine with the NP's wireless... I almost always have a 867mbps link rate with the player and have had zero issues streaming even 3D blu-rays. YMMV, of course, but I'd give it a shot without a lan adapter first if your are AC already.

Good luck when the player arrives... its a good box with a ton of potential yet to be unlocked, imo.
[Nexus Player Accessories] king_dani:
mind if I ask how you shared content over wireless? I am trying to set a wireless HDD inside home wifi, hopefully to be able to copy files from my macbook and be able to read it straight from NP. So far I'm not even sure if that's doable.
[Nexus Player Accessories] jaykresge:
If you can set a drive to be accessible over the network via other devices, you can then access these files from apps on the NP that would otherwise be able to access them on other Android devices. I won't have my NP until Tuesday at the latest, but any Android phone I've ever owned was able to stream local MP$/M4V/MKV video files using XBMC or ES File Explorer. I don't expect the NP to be any different, nor are these the only apps capable of this functionality.
[Nexus Player Accessories] king_dani:
That's what I thought, but could you be more specific as to how to make it accessible? Can a WiFi external HDD be made accessible independent of other devices (macbook/pc/tablet)?
[Nexus Player Accessories] habskilla:
NP can access network shares via ES File Explorer.

Install ES File Explorer from Google Play

Do a network scan within ES

If your HDD is available on your network, ES will find it.
[Nexus Player Accessories] jaykresge:
How to setup your home network is beyond the scope of this thread. If you know how to setup a network share to be accessed by other devices, then that network share can also be accessed by your NP. If you don't know how to setup your network (this is an observation, not an insult), my recommendation is to do some Google searches on network setup with whatever setup you're currently using. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop connected to a Linksys E4200 with a 3TB HDD plugged directly into the router via USB, so my setup is relatively simple. For all I know, you're using Mac OS X, a D-Link router, and a separate WIFI NAS. This is why I suggest that you search for what is relevant to your setup. It's not one size fits all and I could literally write a book on various network setups that would drag this thread way off topic.
[Nexus Player Accessories] Elrondolio:
I have a synology nas and have created an smb network share of all my media. On the Nexus, I install kodi then add the smb share to its library. It scrapes all the media on the share and downloads fanart, dvd covers, synoposis, actor-director-writer credits, etc. and presents my collection in a very media centric way. Very easy to setup once you have a network share for whatever device you use.
[Nexus Player Accessories] king_dani:
If I'm not mistaken smb is file format for windows systems right? I don't have a PC in my household, and I think I should go for a macbook friendly network attached storage? Am I right?
[Nexus Player Accessories] Elrondolio:
SMB stands for Server Message Block, it is also called CIFS or Common Internet File System. It is not a file format, but a networking protocol. Windows relies on smb for its shares, but in no way is smb a windows technology. My synology runs linux but can provide smb shares (among other protocols).

NFS, or Network File System is another networking protocol. Linux relies on nfs by default for its networking shares, but in no way is NFS a linux technology. Your mac can also share via AFP or Apple Filing Protocol, but can also easily share via smb or nfs.

NFS can be faster and less cpu intensive than other protocols so you may want to use that, as kodi supports it well. Either nfs or smb will do you fine... it all depends on what your hardware supports and ease of setting it up.

The Moto G was designed to have a removable back cover, the Moto X's and the Nexus 6 weren't. The Moto X 2013's back cover is held on by clips, so removing it and replacing it while not exactly easy is fairly doable. The Nexus 6, the back cover is held on by adhesive, which would probably make changing it out a bit of a problem.

[General Questions and Answers] kiminoir:
Hi guys, i have recently bought an xperia z3 with android 4.4.4. Did not tamper or alter roms nor factory settings at all but then the system suddenly rertarts itself (was leaving it on the table). This happened around 5 times and the sony call center told me to use the PC companion program to repair my phone. Did that, system restart happened again so i decided to send my phone to the sony warranty center. They "FIXED" it by clearing my whole system with their factory program and told me that an application was causing it to crash. I enquired the apps that was causing the problem.but they couldnt answer and not a hardware problem. (the apps i use are facebook,line,reddit, skype, dropbox... The basic ones)

I would like to ask.you guys if its possible that an application can cause such an issue on an android phone?

Ps. I am thinking of sending it back to sony to let them diagnose my phone once again.

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Dasith:
A software fault can definitely make your phone crash and restart. If your phone works fine after they fixed it by factory resetting, it confirms that it's a software problem. Anyway if you are still facing the same problem, it's good to let them diagnose your phone just to be on the safe side.
