[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@XLOL:
I need to know how to coach them to activate. My current device is a galaxy nexus and I don't have a phone that supports the nano sim. I know the manager he will give me a sim but how do I get the aim activated instead of this one?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
good luck. really need a phone that has nano sim or try to use nano and an adapter in your nexus but i think verizon knows what sim fits what so it might not allow that
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droiddude228:
Just got off the phone with verizon and I was told there are several types of nano sims... I told him it was the same type as the HTC One M8 (I have seen several people mention this while lurking) and he had it mailed out. Hoping it beats my device here so I don't have to go into a store. I did tell them it was a Nexus 6 and I didn't get any crap.

Fingers Crossed!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
I'd suggest using the search function and seeing what you come up with
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowbarman:
I've done this twice in store. They just have to find a phone that accepts a Nano Sim and activate it. First time was a Sony, second time an iPhone. No problems.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
do you currently have a phone on a line with verizon? if so it wont work. the nexus imei isnt registered in vzw network
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonikJDK:
Go to a corporate store, hand them your nexus and tell them you needed a Sim only activation. They did mine in ten minutes.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droiddude228:
Yes I do. It is my understanding that the IMEI roadblock was getting the sim not activating it. I saw people reporting that once they had a sim everything worked fine.

The guy on the phone said if my sim didn't show up fast enough I could do this. I prefer to avoid going into a store when possible. :P
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsumeikuro:
Just pop in a sim and it works.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acadapter:
I can confirm this ---- I had a currently active Note 3, bought a sim cutter from Amazon for 8 bucks, cut the sim from my Note 3 down to nano size. Then, popped in the nano sim to my Nexus that had not been powered on yet. Powered the N6 on, and within about a minute my phone was active. If it doesn't work on first power-up, do a power cycle and you should be good to go.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
good luck but what phone are you going to use to activate the nano sim??
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reeved:
So, I was running Anerik's Unofficial CM12 but decided I wanted to try out the GPE 5.0.1 .

I followed "The Ultimate Guide to flash 5.0.1" by pfufle and it seemed to work fine.

I used Titanium Backup to restore a few apps and then restarted my phone because that's what you are supposed to do after restoring apps.

Only problem is that after the reboot, it would get past the Boot Logo (The Google logo with the unlocked padlock) but then stay on the Boot Animation (The 4 colours moving around) eternally (I left it there for around 20-25 mins.

I then got fed up of waiting and decided to retry flashing 5.0.1 by following the guide from the start and flashing gpe 4.4.4 then 5.0.1 etc.

Same problem. I tried maybe 4 times all of them ended with the same result.

I gave up and then went back to 4.4.2 from which I flashed Anerik's CM12 again.

I restored my apps via TB, restarted my phone but what do you know. Got past the Boot Logo but got stuck on the Boot Animation (The one with the CM Logo and the arrow spinning around) eternally.

I haven't checked if this problem happens in 4.4.2 and GPE 4.4.4.

How do I fix this?
[Sprint LG G3] jbrow314:
So I'm running Barin (2.3), which I love. I do have a quick question and I'm not sure if this is normal or not but when someone leaves me a voicemail I get no icon for it. I have to call myself after someone calls to see if they left a message, there's no notification for it. Is this a normal thing with ROMs? Or can I download something to get my voicemail icon back? It's not a big deal if I can't, I would just like to know when someone leaves me a message, I'm a bit new to ROMs, so this may be a normal thing, just wanted to ask.

Thanks for any help on this.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Did it work right before the update?

It's never been the same for me since they added that avatar crap.

I usually have to manually go into the app to get my voicemail. I usually disable most of the stuff in it, maybe that's why?

Maybe adjust your settings and see what happens.

I don't think it's the ROM. I THINK it's the app. $2.99 a month and you can have this free service. Lol

Yea I got it working, for some unknown reason it wasn't set up even through I did it when I first installed Barin, probably just a Sprint voicemail glitch. Oh well, it's working now, that's all that matters.

Thanks for the help.

I have a stock, rooted nexus 7 Flo on 5.0. I would like to move to 5.0.1 but I cannot because the update cannot install through Android because of CWM and there doesn't appear to be a flashable zip to use!

I'm not sure my question is clear, my TV doesn't have smart features like UPnP or DLNA. But I do have a computer media center (htpc) hooked up, so what I want to do is be able to stream videos and pictures from my note 4 to the computer over wifi and show on the tv without copying the files directly.

But I don't know how to "enable" UPnP or DLNA on the computer to accept the connection from the phone. (again the phone would be the source, the computer would be accepting and displaying the content - I think most people do it the other way around)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darekz:

Hi there,

I had an operating cm11 on my galaxy s4. Now I made a complete backup and then installed a cm12 prev version (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2943934).

Because the author recommand to change from ext4 to f2fs I had to format the internal storage.

Know I want to restore only the internal storage (some explorer call it /storage/emulated/0 and some /sdcard).

Which restore type do i have to set in Philz Recovery to restore only this data?

Is it /data and /data/media?

Or is it anything else?

Thank you

On the xbmc wiki it says the context button on the remote is supposed to open favorites on the homescreen but for me it does nothing the only way I can get favorites is by switching back to the stock confluence and manually going to the star.

Just got my favi bluetooth keyboard and I used side loaded settings app to pair. It works great it has backlights and has android hot keys. i.e. home, back, and menu. The mouse pad works good for those apps that you can't navigate with remote very good. I highly recommend this i got mine refurbished for 25$ on amazon.

[Fire TV General] collindv:
I have an off brand that looks identical to that one. I could never get mine to pair because it needed a pairing code that I could never get to work. Did it require you to type in a code on the keyboard?

Yes it did and i typed it in and hit enter and it worked immediately.

Was looking for an easy set up with touch pad built in.

Right now ive been using the amazon fire tv remote app and it works great with xbmc. Types like a keyboard and works on wifi so i dont have to aim my phone at the tv.

Can it control multiple sticks?

Actually the Bluetooth one has a bluetooth usb adapter in with the battery. The fire tv has a usb if i am not mistaken you could try that

I purchased a mini bluetooth keyboard with touchpad from Amazon that works great. I can't post a link. New here and not enough posts.

The keyyboard is a QQ-Tech model lS11-BT05. I used the setting app and it found it with no problem and did not require a code. This was with the AFTV have not tested it with the stick yet.

Found another post of verifying this keyboard works on Fire stick
[Fire TV General] ddubz:
it worked fine with mine there is another settings apk on xda that you could try. My paired right away. I would send it back if it doesn't work. Hope you figure it out.
[Fire TV General] tekweezle:
after a little trial and error, I got an iPazzport Apache BT Keyboard model KP-810-19BTT working. Bought on Amazon for $18.99. The unique feature with this was that it runs on AAA batteries and includes a BT controller dongle(not needed with the Firestick since it has a built in controller already).

took some trial and error to get it to pair. I verified that it was a working unit already by pairing to a cellphone successfully.

the voodoo I performed which may or may not help anyone else is that I toggled bluetooth off and on on the Firestick. to toggle back on, I had to use Wukong Romote via wifi and the mouse module to toggle back on(since toggling off will disable your Amazon physical remote). Amazon fire remote app did not work for some reason(could never focus on the on/off toggle).

My theory is that the Firestick isn;t actively searching for bluetooth devices and there is no way to make it except for either maybe rebooting/powering up the box/stick or doing what I did.

Also, after finding the device, make sure that your keyboard is also searching for a device to pair with(blue LED should be flashing rapidly). Not doing this, the dialog box for entering the code would disappear off the screen causing me frustration and puzzlement.

goodluck!
[Fire TV General] dbdoshi:
The QQ-Tech IS11-BT05 works flawlessly on both FTV and Stick. It is small though and the buttons are a little tougher to push. The ON-OFF button is fragile as well. But it works very good, has back light (manual on-off) and auto-sleep after a min. It works on Bluetooth 3.0.

Amazon prime has it for around $24.

EDIT: Oops, saw the previous post. Sorry for the double post.
[Fire TV General] tekweezle:
That's okay, recommendations are good when dealing with an unknown like this. Our problem is that the AFS/AFTV doesn't officially support bluetooth keyboards and peripherals beyond the built in remote and some gamepads. But due to the hardworking users here willing to try and test the limits, we are pushing the boundaries of what the platform can do. I debated for a while what to buy and am helped by this forum.

That actually bring me to a Q. Is there anything out there (KB and mouse combo) that has BOTH wireless and BT functionality? I searched a bit, and couldn't find anything.
[Fire TV General] tekweezle:
Rf and bluetooth are different standards. Probably not going to find one that supports both. Actually I think bluetooth is superior but takes extra code to support. I also think Rf interferes with wireless network cards.

[Fire TV General] dbdoshi:
Not sure what happened on my stick. The QQ won't connect. The stick could not even see the QQ after searching for devices in the bluetooth menu of the settings app. I had to factory reset the stick to get it work again. Tried uninstall/reinstall of the settings app. Tried turning off the bluetooth (and turned on using the FTV app on IPhone). Only the factory reset helped. Strange.

Aerb IBK-02

Just to let you guys know, the AERB IBK-02 Bluetooth keyboard does the job with the Fire TV Stick. Not only does it successfully pair with the stick, but it also pairs with Amazon Fire TV and Kindle HDX 7. Although I used the ADB connect sideloading method to install the settings apk (which allows Bluetooth pairing of the keyboard) from a PC to Fire TV, this method didn't work with the Fire TV Stick. However, after installing MoboRobo to my PC and connecting the Fire TV Stick USB cable to the PC, installation was a snap. I also installed the Firefox browser this way. Working well as I touch type this post without using the remote and just looking at the display, a 40 inch monitor.
