[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtbono:
When it's off, the batteery seems to last, but the performance is way worse than on my Nexus 4 (which is known for it's bad battery performance) when it comes to screen time, I've got near the double web browsing time on the nexus.

Your galaxy drains battery like this too? it seems insane to me. 2hours from 100% to zero without any of the features, brightness on the lowest level, only Wi-Fi on, I don't think every galaxy is like this.

When I brought them to the store, the salesperson told me that it had an update to be applied, but when I search for an update or put it into kies it shows me as up-to-date, do you guys know anything about that?

unfortunately i had uninstalled the launcher , as i was getting rid of some installed themes ..... the phone went blank ... all apps disappeared and when i restarted the phone ..... only the android logo still remains ........ i did not know this would happen ....

how can i get the phone to go pass the startup screen
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device. You likely need to install the stock firmware again. You may need to contact the manufacturer about that and flashing instructions. You can register on XDA and ask for help here too,

I recently had my i imate ppc repaired, as it wouldnt charge. Since then i havent been able to use the usb connection, I some how wiped out my wm 2003 rom and have been trying to reinstall it but cant seem to get any futher than the error 101 connection, I have sent the phone back to the repairer and he has said that its a sofware problem, at the moment there is no software on it, I only have the bootloader screen which says, Serial, or USB when the usb cable is connected.

Can anyone out there please let me know if there is anyway i can get the room back on this or ist it a brick

Am I stupid? Or can I just not mount my phone to my computer? I select mount then it lets me select the partitions to mount and thats it. Am I supposed to press something to confirm to mount it or something? Because I see nothing.

Will not flash

I keep trying to flash this rom and all I get in TWRP is Error executing updater binary. I was able to flash other 5.0 AOSP roms but I am having trouble with this one.

BSZAospLP v1.1 flashed fine as well as an older build of your rom. The last 2 builds will not flash at all. Same error. TWRP and MultiROM are updated to current versions.

My rom shows a camera installed when I go to manage apps, but it doesn't show in the app drawer and I can't access it. Stock launcher no hidden apps or anything
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyrumo:
For me this issue existed already on KitKat. I think the camera app is kinda hidden because the N7 camera isn't designed to take pictures. But some launchers allow you to create an activity shortcut to the respective activity of the camera app to launch it. This works fine for me with action launcher.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
First off, I do know that this is a work in progress, and so far, it has been an excellent release. But, I want to know if anyone else is noticing the following issue below or if it could just be my device.

Has anyone noticed if their keyboard response is slow within games, such as Game of War? I'm noticing severe lagging in the keyboard when I'm attempting to chat, send email or do searches. Anything that requires keyboard entry is slow.

I've noticed this as well in other games. I also am running CM12 on my Droid RAZR HD (XT926) and keyboard response is fine. It only seems to be with this build on my Nexus 7 (2012) WiFi, so I can't tell if it's just because Grouper Nexus 7 is just not up to the task of running this, or if it's just the ROM is still early.

I've tried both the stock keyboard that comes in CM12 as well as my default that I use, Swiftkey. Again, on my phone (XT926), Swiftkey works great in the games.

Outside of games on my Nexus, the keyboards work fine. It's only within games that I see the severe lagging. And by severe lagging, I mean that I will select into the input box to start typing and then the keyboard may not show up for 15 seconds. One time, it took over 30 seconds. And then, once the input box has focus, typing on the keyboard appears to do nothing and then maybe another 15 to 30 seconds later, it starts to show up, one type at a time, with seconds of lag between types. Sometimes, it eventually clears up for a bit, but if I start to type longer, it can then start to lag again like before.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this. I've done a clean wipe. I'm running 11/28 build with f2fs on the data partition, and I'm running it with the MKernel-a72 kernel.

Thanks!

UPDATE:

Okay, downloaded the 12/01 image and the keyboard issues appear to have been taken care of.

Problems

Hi,

thanks for the ROM. I have a few questions, problems for which I would like to ask for help:

data and cache partitions are mounted without the discard options. Is this normal? Can this be added?

GPS is not working: E. g. the GPS status app (or Google Maps) does not see a single satellite.

I cannot copy files from the Windows Explorer or by adb push to the (emulated) sdcard/internal memory: error message of adb: failed to copy 'xxx' to '/storage/emulated/0/xxx': Read-only file system

Thank you for your help
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmozmoz:
Ok answering myself: With the latest build (141222) (part ?) of the GPS problem and the copy problem have gone:

The GPS status app can now find the satellites. Also in one map app (OruxMaps) the location is shown. Unfortunately, it still does not work with google maps.

For whatever reason it is now possible to copy files and directories with the Windows Explorer to the "internal memory". But not with adb push?!?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BRIMS7ON3:
Is mtp not working on the latest build as of yesterday?

It's not showing up under Device Manager at all so I can't browse for drivers. I've tried disabling and reenabling debugging but I get nothing. When I go to Storage and try to select USB Computer Connection, I get no options or drop down.

It does charge however.

Black screen upon boot

I just flashed the latest nightly after converting it to F2FS using the Windows tool. I also did a full wipe and manually checked to make sure system, data and cache were in f2fs. The ROM boots and 'optimises' apps just fine but then I just get a backlit black screen, only the power button works.

What might be my mistake?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] xtsim:
To me it seems that my captivate glide is eating through batteries every year. I've gone through two batteries - battery that came with the glide lasted only one year with stock gingerbread and ics roms, while the replacement lasted again for about one year with omnirom. Both of those batteries have gotten swollen and soft, which is bad. I am just wondering, is this common in this phone? Or is there a problem with the phone itself? I've had other phones and devices that last years with their original batteries just fine such as some old iphones and old samsung feature phones, the only other phone I've had a swollen battery was a pantech ease, which had a great keyboard, although that phone needed a new battery after two years and I abused that heavily with the battery falling off dozens of times (and sometimes water) compared to my glide which has been in some case and taken care of.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] eMPee584:
Well I've got a bunch of these in rotation, and they are all starting to show their age, some of them having swollen and been sorted out by me. They've been produced 5 years ago and it's only natural for li-ion accus to lose capacity after that time, and in the end, chemically decompose and swell.. Pure luck if it didn't happen with your other phone , I presume.

Hello all,

I'm pretty much set to get a N6 when I can order a white 64 from Motorola directly.

I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus and I'm on Verizon unlimited data plan. My question is, will the N6 be a Hotspot without a subscription check like my Galaxy Nexus?

Any information will be appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc5pat:
It does check for subscription when turned on. I'm on unlimited with the unlimited hotspot package.

Hello everyone ,

As title says I'm interested to know (from "Actual" users) Nexus 5 is still worth to buy. fro my expeience xda is place where people knows what , why and how they are using their phones so I used "Actual" ;)

And yah i know there is general Q&A thread and I tried to ask some individual Qs but unfortunately didn't get any replies Plus I want to make this thread as reference for people like me ( this device is a year older still there are lot of people like me :p ) . and I did Good research before starting this thread so i will bother you guys where I need real assistance :cowboy:

So ,

nexus 5 vs nexus 6

well nexus 6 surely a great device but as per my requirement i think i don't need "3 Gb RAM & SD805" phone now and near future. I'm not kind of person who fill ups unnecessary background apps.. main background apps i'm using are FB , Tweeter & WhatsApp . so 2Gb ram for multitasking is more than enough IMO and SD800 does great job with heavy games like asphalt 8 (n all from many reviews) ... this is correct even after updating to lollipop right ?

16 vs 32

let me ask about OTG before arriving on storage. nexus 5 has usb otg but connecting pen drive without root is little proble ... we need Nexus media Importer or Total commander + plug In ( as per info i collected )

Is ES file manager ( latest update) works to mount OTG pendrive without root on lollipop ?

and Important question to OTG users : Can we directly download files ( movies , songs ) from internet to OTG mounted pendrive ?

now about storage

i'm using a 16Gb device right now with 12.5 Gb usable and having 8 + Gb free (used 4gb in videos, songs & documents) but i haven't installed any 1 Gb + games so when i'll buy nexus 5 let's say about 6 gb goes to heavy games still i remains with 2 Gb free space. and i'm not fan fo watching movies on phone so i won's put them even in nexus 5 ........ main reason for asking OTG download above is Free WiFi at collage (lol) :p so if direct download files from internet to OTG mounted pendrive (without root) is possible in nexus 5 then IMO i don't need 32 Gb version....what you say guys ?

Finally is nexus 5 usable without any screen protractors with it's gorilla 3 glass. or it still gets scratches with normal usage ?

( i this back cover is needed because of little out side camera ..right ? )

And howz lollipop working on this device ? ( it should be great as it's nexus :p ) ( i read some battery problem with few people but IMO it's not that big )

and guys please do reply ... your reply is important :)

Thanks !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
First off, I'd have to say stop seeing the Nexus 5 and 6 as a next gen upgrade. It went from a phone to tablet, and a different manufacturer and went from budget to premium.

It's worth buying.. But I bought mine for 436 USD (with tax) can you get the color and size you want and find a price on GPlay?

Its also definitely worth a case! I used mine normally for 2 weeks without a case and no noticeable scuffs or scratches were found. But I'd say life is life and that a small investment in a case goes a very long way.

Everything runs pretty well on 4.4.4 and up with my experience.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jineshpatel30:
Okey :) but actually i wasn't comparing them and i don't wanna go this comparison in this thread thats why i didn't even ask that should i consider n6 ? Becuase i think n5 is still better option :) i only asked that it's performing same gr8 with lollipop ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Depending on the amount of money you're comfortable paying, and the size of the devices should be your main concern. If you can spend extra and don't mind if your phone is big, go N6.

Want a cheap, high-end device with a medium sized screen? Go N5.

Lollipop is pretty stable so far from how long I've used it before.

And sorry, didn't mean to say I thought you were comparing them. I mean if you are looking at it that way, you shouldn't. (For anyone else reading too) I once thought they were direct upgrades of each other -- until I read the spec sheets and pricing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jineshpatel30:
Actually i was considering n6 but after seeing it's actually HUGE size and not worthy specs ( except camera ) i changed my mind and i will surely go for n5 now... sd805 n 3gb ram is only useful for excessive gamers n user with many background apps and i'm non of them :p

Anyway i'm striking out n6 from OT so no one confuses with comparison :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
It's still a worthy phone. Any reason you don't want to root it? For many it's the key point of getting a Nexus device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erikbronx:
Yes, buy it, I bought mines about a month ago, and I have nothing bad to say about it. I cam from a Note 3, and I love getting the latest updates on the Nexus devices.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jineshpatel30:
it's not that i don't wont to but with lollipop root is not good till now chainfire root method patches kernel and i read many people saying that it adversely affect performance ( don't know it's right or not ) plus with art that is not much to do with root ... no xposed so no easy modification , and debloating well we can disable apps without root now and it's same as debloat (except debloat gives extra space on /system but it'll remain empty with out any use )

2 things i will miss for Not rooting are hosts file & custom kernel but thing i should give stock one some time ;)

plus root will also break warranty ( in nexus will it ? )
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Root will not break your warranty through the play store. If you buy it somewhere else and have to return it to LG it might. It's so easy to unroot this thing and reset the tamper flag though. The only reason not to root this thing is if your employer checks the device. Even then there's ways around that.

I had 5.0 rooted since it first came out. It's never been an issue. There's tons of folks here who use stock rom and kernel but still root. It just allows you to use apps to make life easier. Like stickmount in your case. Or a custom kernel that has OTG implemented. I can say for certain that with my setup I can DL straight to my OTG card. I have the 32GB model and still use OTG but I'm a memory hog with my music.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jineshpatel30:
Thankyou for conforming that DL directly to OTG is working... and may i know which setup you are using ?

I think i won't get one from playstore as they are "out of stock" plus they cost ~50$ more than other sellers ... but i think replacement warranty and accidential break warranty ( are they giving this one on n5 ? ) is from playstore only

And what is employer check for root ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDaddyGiraffe:
In my opinion I'd say the N5 is still a very capable phone.

Had mine for just under a year now.

I was rooted for a while with xposed and other addons installed, updated to lollipop a few weeks ago and its back to stock now with no root.

My N5 is faster than my note 4,

The camera and battery arnt great but still takes decent pictures and I get can manage with the battery life for most of the day ,charging it in the car in the afternoon if needs be.

I just ordered myself a Nexus 5 32gb. Got it for 380 euros. My decision was mainly based on the good price for the storage and the build quality seems resistent and quite nice, with a rubber-y feel on the back. Also, the thought of unlocking it and having lots of support from the community was a pro.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackbox421:

I would consider picking one up on ebay for about 250.00 USD... I got a 32gb one in absolute mint/new condition...

well i changed my mind i surely buy 32Gb version :) btw there is gr8 deal on snapdeal 27999 ( +1000 discount if you buy through SBI card ;) ) btw what it cost you when you bought yours ?

and yah apps crashes on new updates but many good developers updates asap

and can you do me a favor ? since you are rooted and had OTG access can you try to download files direly on USB Drive ? ( download Loder Droid must have download manager it makes downloads easy and speedy ! ) and try to download via chrome and it catch up itself ( if not u can share link /page to it ) and try to save it on USB drive and tell me if that works or not :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amit.tiger12:
it costs around 32999 rs for 32 GB model.

But on snapdeal, 16 GB model was for 20k-21k rs, so I will wait until nexus 6 available in local store.

some discount are there on flipkart from 8 to 12 dec, will wait for that. ;)

Oneplus one for 22K rs... in india.. :D

thanks but I don't use any download manager, I use UCBrowser for all downloading stuff. Will try and let you know for downloading on OTG stuff... :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GeneralKwai:
Hi,

I just got a gs3 a few days ago with verizon and read up about what I could do with it.

I have root with supersu, busybox, terminal emulator and safestrap.

I wanted to flash cm 11 onto it, but with the new OTA Update from Samsung earlier this year I found out it was impossible with Knox and Verizon locking it down.

However, whenever I attempt to run roms flashed using Safestrap such as eclipse the boot sequence goes Press power button -> Vibrate once -> Release power -> Vibrate -> Samsung Galaxy SIII screen -> Safestrap -> Black Screen.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but nothing is working at all, is there a rom I can use? (preferably with an UI similar to that of CyanogenMod's KK) or am I stuck with Samsung's UI and Verizon's bloatware?

I also saw a lot of TW but I don't know what the people in the forums are talking about when they mention this.

Also, forgive my ignorance on the matter of programming and such but, is there a way to unlock the bootloader?

I hear it's encrypted and locked by Verizon. Is it possible to write a new firmware over the Encrypted Verizon one and use that instead?

Thanks for even reading this, A reply would mean a lot to me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Its now bootloader locked and no you can't unlock it. Your stuck with a permanent locked bootloader. You can however flash BL(bootloader locked) roms via safestrap
