[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
That's what I thought it might be. I found a guy on eBay who sends the parcels with $15 value quoted on the shipping and marks as gifts so that I avoid taxes and import duty. Paid £170 in total which is more than I wanted to spend but I want getting anywhere with borderlinx even when I tried taking to them to get some support. They just read out script which wasn't helpful.

At the price you have it would have been £145 total. The quote I was given was based on the total weight being 7kg and they kept on saying it was dependent on the amount of space the parcel took up on the freight. I gave them estimated dimensions but they were less than helpful. I got panicked that I might have a cost of upwards of €150 for shipping and taxes that I couldn't trust them so I went with the guy I found on eBay.

Thanks for helping though. I should have waited for your reply but the unhelpful information from borderlinx and the panic of high shipping costs pushed me to choose the alternative after messaging the got on eBay several times.

How are people who've imported the Player getting on with it?

Getting seriously bored of my LG smart TV, it's so slow. I really just want plex, iplayer and 4od.

£120 + import duty makes it quite an expensive toy though... I've an old nexus 7 doing nothing, but that can't output 1080p can it?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bejbe01:
My friend have brought to me nexus player from US and it is the best toy in my living room. It plays everything from my NAS with XBMC, netflix works great and I can play lot of games with my PS3 controller. I had evolve infinity media player before and this is much better tool for my TV. I dont use any smartTV functions cause it is slow as hell. And I think this is just beginning, waiting when more developers will pay attention to this stuff.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon-:
Hold on, it's slow as a smart TV, IE the iplayer app etc?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bejbe01:
Nope, my panasonic smartTV is slow, nexus player is great
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon-:
Ah great, thanks. I wonder how long until it is official in the UK, it's not like google to ignore this market for so long
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
I've heard rumours that Google won't be bringing the nexus player to the UK as they did with the nexus Q. It's a massive shame really as I'm sure a lot of people would buy it without question. The other option is Amazon Fire TV. Can still load xbmc on it and the benefit is that the Amazon fire TV has an Ethernet port whereas the nexus player doesn't. Any Bluetooth game pad should connect to either so if you've already got Xbox or PS then you're good. The only way at the moment to get a nexus player is to either watch eBay like a hawk and set up a search update in the hope a UK use is selling, import one from somewhere like myus.com or comGateway or get the Amazon fire TV (which was on sale at £64 at beginning if month so they'll reduce again at some point).
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon-:
I might be wrong, but wouldn't a Roku be a more comparable device than the fire?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
No I wouldn't say it was as there's the while gaming side that the nexus and fire TV have along with the other capabilities like loading xbmc and apps. I don't think you can get xbmc for roku from what I've read so far as well as there aren't many games (if any) on roku. Roku is more of a streaming media player whereas the nexus and fire TV are so much more.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon-:
Great news, thanks for the update.

It's just made my life more confusing though, I'd just convinced myself to get a pi 2 for plex... I believe the nexus player has dts sound limitations, will research more
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
Yeah fantastic news but very frustrating seen as Google actually told me in no uncertain terms that they were not bringing the nexus player to the UK. But I guess this is Amazon. I wonder if it will have a UK plug or American.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skally:
Now actually in stock in Argos, just collected one! They had it priced at £9000 (yes, nine thousand pounds!) but I got them to change it to the £79.99 it should be.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
Just received confirmation from Amazon that my N Player has been despatched.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
Just got mine about 10 mins ago from Argos :D

EDIT: well after setting it up and trying to cast to it the quality of anything I cast to it SUCKS! what gives? these are 720/1080p and the quality is real bad there's also distortion when moving especially on animated things
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
I've had no problems with mine but I imported. I can't see that there'd be any difference though. What set up so you have?

I've got mine set up with HDMI and casting it fine as well as quality of videos. Casting to YouTube etc works fine.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
42" LG TV casting from my Nexus 6 and tried using LocalCast and AllCast from Showbox and HDcinema (For TV shows btw using it for catch up) and the quality is really really bad animation has distortion and normal shows are pixelated even though should be playing in 1080/720. tried the exact same TV shows on my chromecast and it plays fine.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
What lollipop version are you on on your nexus 6? Do you diagnosed the TV shows or stream on your phone then cast?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
5.1. you mean download them? nah I stream them but i'll try download now it's worth a try.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
Yeah that's what I meant. The only thing I can think of is using chrome and then when you put the video into full screen it'll give you the cast option. Have you tried casting the entire screen? I do that with my Samsung phone and TV. There should be a cast option in the pull down toggle options and in the settings menu, from what I can remember, which allows you to find compatible devices to cast to.

Have you run the update on the nexus player for apps in Google play? There was an update on the Google cast receiver a few months back. Is there an update on the firmware? Think I got an update straight away when I turned my np on. What catch up services at you using as most are on the np play store.

This might be helpful too: https://support.google.com/androidtv/answer/6123347?hl=en

If you can't find the Google cast receiver, try searching using vice search on the np or go to play.google.com/store on your phone browser (chrome), sign in with the same Google account, find Google cast receiver and then press install and chose the np from the drop down to install directly to it (this is called side loading if you're not aware of it).

The direct link to the app is here but you'll need to copy and paste to open in browse as selecting the link from your phone will instantly open the play store app.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
Downloading no good still looks like it's playing things in sub 480p rather than the resolution it should be playing at and everything is updated. casting from youtube/GPmovies etc plays fine it's just casting none official things the NP seems to screw up on yet a chromecast works fine.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
It's entirely possible that your network bandwidth might be reducing the resolution of videos. I can't think of anything. I had that problem and upgraded my router.

I have just tried using allcast and localcast and got sound but a black screen when I cast so you're a step ahead of me! I think it's something to do with HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) compatibility or even the HDMI cable that's used. I have a HDMI switcher so that might be my problem, but all my HDMI cables are version 1.4a and above I.e. high speed HDMI that can deal with HD, 3D, Audio return channel, 4k etc which in theory should handle screen casting. Does your TV not have DNLA?

Why don't you root the nexus player and load kodi on it. You'll have all your catch up TV on there. I used it all the time and works great.

You could also try Plex - install it on your phone and the np and you should be able to stream from your phone but that's only if you download.

It's quite a confusing thing but I'll do some reading and let you know if I find anything.

Why don't you try screen cast through Chromecast app. It works fine on both so you can still stream on your mobile and it'll mirror the phone onto your TV. Go into Chromecast, from the left hand menu choose screen cast and then
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon-:
So, I just bit the bullet and got a player in the UK. After about 10 minutes of playing with Plex it's going back.

Can't play 720p or above without pausing. The server (Synology DS415play) is having to transcode everything I've tried for some reason.

My aging PS3 is a much better client, which surprises me.

Guess I'll be sticking with the PS3 :(

Everything else seems quite lovely though
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
So weeks later and still an issue with resolution

To test it I even downloaded some to it and played it through ESfile explorer and low and behold it still plays in a really really crap resolution even when it's been fully downloaded! what is this crap seriously?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dogger26:
Wel if its anything like the xda2 then replacing the screen is very easy as its just a few screws and a ribbon cable. I had a broken screen xdII and took it apart to see how hard it was to reinstall myself, it was very easy cos like i said it was a few screws and a ribbon cable.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
There's a guide with pics in pdf format in this forum, just search for it.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] srk:
Its very simple as long as you are patient and you don't force anything while trying to open up the phone.

I have worked on couple of Imate Jams and wizards with out a manual without breaking anything.

I have seen the manual on the wiki I believe....

BTW I would suggest using one of those ebay cellphone repair kits that come with the plastic tool to open the phone that helps alot.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dr. Fed:
I'm not sure if the TMO variant will work on Verizon's network at all. Does Verizon allow for unlocked phones on their network? Do these variants have the same band support? Will a GSM phone work on a CDMA network?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludeawakening:
Okay this is really getting on my nerves and I've never had this much problem from a phone. I've been modding and helping develop for years, but I've never had this issue. So for five days now, I've been playing around with my old DINC that my daughter messed up somehow, and I can't install a ROM and make it work to save my life. I've run countless ROM's on this thing in the past with no issues. The problem now is, no matter what recovery I use or what I wipe, all of the old apps keep showing up on boot and crashes the phone. Meaning while it says "Android is upgrading" it shows every app that has ever been installed on this phone, even though I wipe and format every partition, and I haven't installed a single app. Heck... I can't even get into the system to install an app. The furthest I've gotten on a clean install is to pick a launcher in Carbon, but then it reboots.

Someone please help with a solution if you know one. I would hate to make a mess on the concrete outside with this phone, but I'm almost to that point. Thank you in advance!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
What recovery are you running?

I've been using CWM 5.0.2.0 since 2011 and haven't had an issue, and I still flash things on it. I found an active mediafire link with it from a post on Rootzwiki that is flashable through HBOOT. Just put it on the root/top level of an SD card formatted FAT32 and it will load the recovery image, press volume up to flash it, then you should be on an up to date recovery and you can try wiping from there. I had issues with some of the older ones and TWRPs earlier versions.

I'd also recommend CyanogenMod 7.2 stable, but that's just what I've ran the last few years. Never had an issue with it and it is stable as can be. Always a good start. In fact, it's more stable than stock on my phone, plus I over clock a bit.

It's a good device to have around when you have to send in your current device for exchange or damage it etc. I used it full time not long ago while exchanging my M8.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludeawakening:
I've tried every recovery you can think of for this device. All versions of the CWM and TWRP touch and non-touch, including CWM 5.0.2.0. And I use HBOOT to flash all of the recoveries. It doesn't matter what ROM or recovery I flash, I still get the same results. And the ROM I used the most on this phone was Condemned CM7.2, but like I said, it won't matter how stable a ROM is, I can't get it to boot to even use it now. For some reason there is a partition somewhere that will not wipe. I've used VR Superwipe, which was recommended on some ROM's in the past, but it doesn't help at all either. No matter what, while booting for the first time, it still shows every app that has ever been installed to this device over the years, which causes everything to crash or just immediately reboot. All of the apps crash even if I go back completely stock by flashing a PB31IMG of stock firmware with HBOOT. That includes trying it with S-ON and S-OFF. As you can tell, this isn't my first rodeo at all. Lol

I've been doing this for years and have helped develop ROM's on a couple of sites, but I've never seen or heard of anything like this. Thanks for the input though.

I guess I'll risk completely bricking it, and manually re-partition the device and push the bootloader and everything else to it with ADB Shell. I've got nothing to lose, it's already a paperweight that just lights up. Haha
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musical_chairs:
Sounds like a bad NAND to me (like one partition is fried and is now read-only). Good luck with the repartitioning. If you're feeling adventurous, you could try this. If you're feeling really adventurous, I seem to remember reading a post from someone who had actually unsoldered the NAND chip and got the phone to boot using only an sdcard. I can't find the post right now though.

[Zooper Widget General] jsjansen:
Please allow the values of the Rotation attribute of widget elements to be decimal values, not just integers.

In many cases, the one-degree increment is simply not precise enough to achieve the desired effect. One example is using a circular Progress Bar to create minute markers for a clock. To do this, I adjust the X Offset, Rotation, Spacing, and Split values so that the minute markers align properly. The problem is, when I get the zero-minute (12 o'clock) marker placed precisely, the 30-minute (6 o'clock) marker is too far to the left of where it should be, and adjusting the Rotation by one degree moves it too far to the right.

Another example is that it is impossible to create a line (width=1 rectangle) that bisects a 45-degree angle, because that requires a rotation of 22.5 degrees.

Thanks for considering this request.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RDGnome:
This happened a few days ago after attempting the OTA.

I left it for about 20 hours and no change, just looping the installing system update screen.

I let the battery drain (probably not a great idea) and then turned it on and it does the same thing.

I can sometimes get into fastboot mode but not consistently. I can get into download mode.

I can occasionally get to this screen, although I'm not sure how: i.imgur.com/g49Bbdw.jpg and after that finishes it just goes back to looping.

Is the only option to flash stock Android in download mode and lose all my data? (Although I'm not even sure I can do this because I haven't enabled USB debugging)

I hope not so thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers
[Moto 360] TabGuy:
Two weeks ago I was having severe battery drain issues on my Moto 360. Out of nowhere. All I saw was an outline of a battery with a lightning bolt when charging. Eventually it would charge enough, 50%, to take it off the stand. Then, within minutes the screen was black. I'd put it on the stand and the same thing would happen. Outline of a battery with a lightning bolt. Eventually 50%, then drain to black screen.

I did the usual things. Rebooted. No change. I did a factory reset. No change. Deleted all of my Wear apps on the phone. No change.

So, I chatted with Motorola online. The CSR was very helpful but didn't know the Moto 360. She took my number and did a conference call with a Moto 360 CSR. Unfortunately, when the original CSR hung up the conference call ended. I chatted again, explained my story again, got a conference call again. This time the conference call stayed alive when the original CSR hung up.

I briefly explained my issue to the Moto 360 CSR and he immediately offered to exchange it. I had two options. Option 1: Return the watch and they'll send me a new one. He said this takes about 5 business days. Option 1: They send me a new one immediately and put a $220 hold on my credit card. They send me the FedEx info and when I send my old one back (within 6 days of getting the new one) they release the hold.

I opted for option 2. And, I'm GLAD I did. It's been two weeks now and I have yet to receive my replacement Moto 360. I did the online chat again and again they hooked me up with a conference call with a Moto 360 CSR. He said that my silver model is on back order. But he was willing to offer me a black one instead. Just as he was making this offer the phone got disconnected.

As it turns out I solved my problem. How? I did a factory reset on my phone. I don't know why that solved it and I only did this as a "Hail Mary" pass kind of option but it did. So, I guess I'll just see if they ever send me a silver watch. If they do I may just decline the delivery.

I'm glad that my watch got fixed as this would have been a very frustrating experience. And, I'm glad I didn't take option 1 as I'd be without a watch for a long while, I presume.
