[Android Auto General] dcdttu:
I would assume that the Pioneer NEX units will be receiving Android Auto, but those are really bloated, expensive systems that do way more than I want, and almost all of them have resistive screens.

There is currently an Alpine CarPlay head unit that seems very nice, and has exactly what I would want (except it's CarPlay). I hope they make this sucker into an Android Auto head unit when it's available.

What would be even more awesome is if it enabled whatever system (CarPlay, Android Auto) based on what was plugged in, so you and your SO could have different phones.

Anyone know any other head units that may be on the way?
[Android Auto General] BTW lover:
You might want to check out a chinese Android head unit. They aren't exactly android auto and have their drawbacks on both the hard- and software side but they are available to buy now and are often sold dirt cheap, compared to the prices established brands will probably charge for upcoming android auto devices

Parrot RNB

Check out the first description of the Parrot RNB posted over at the Connected Car forum here. Just announced at '15 CES. It is a double-DIN, Lollipop head unit that is compatible with both Apple and Android systems, gps, OBDII (!).

I have a Kenwood ddx9902S and could not be happier.
[Android Auto General] dcdttu:
I had the 9702s and it had several issues. Ever since my phone updated to 6.0.1 (a Nexus 6P), the audio coming out of it (spotify or GPM) was very quiet. Nothing I did fixed it. Also, when using Android Auto, once an overlay sound (notification, Google Voice Search) happened, the audio would have this audible static in it during bassy notes, only fixed by rebooting the head unit.

I even got a replacement head unit and it had the same issues.

I ended up getting a Joying Android 4.4.4 head unit instead of Android Auto. So far I am really impressed. The screen is really good, the sound is great, and it's got full Android as the head unit's OS.

I have a Huawei U8687 with a shattered digitizer. Problem is, I can't find any information about this phone, let alone a digitizer! Does anyone have any info about it? I'm in Canada, if that helps at all. Or what screen would be compatible? The U8686 / Prism II looks very similar, but in the world of phones "looks similar" doesn't count for much... Anyway, I'd appreciate any info on the U8687. Thanks!

I tried holding power and volume up. power and volume down. power and middle of volume. none did anything.

I just want it back working, it can be rooted or not or custom firmware rom or not.

Might have to take mine out of the box and upgrade.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ractar28:
Everything I can find that gives a version number says that the "new" upgrade is 3.6.8. If you recently purchased a new fire phone, you already HAVE 3.6.8. So, for those of us who got in on the $199 deal, we already have the update and we're getting nothing new at this time. I got all excited, but I already have 3.6.8.

You CAN sideload google apps (I can't get google photos, but I think that is a function of the underlying android os being 4.2.2). If anyone has an apk for google photos, I'd appreciate it. I couldn't find it on the play store.
[Amazon Fire Phone] amethystAndrew:
In my experience, Photos comes along for the ride when you install Google+. If you haven't done that yet, try installing it; if you have, then chances are the Fire Phone isn't going to display it as a separate app (unless you use a custom launcher).

Hi, I'm just now coming out of the stone age and ditching my non smartphone (Pantech Renue) for what I believe to be one of the best smartphones out to date...the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I have some serious questions before I make the switch from AT&T to Straight Talk with a Note 4. Here are my questions:

1) When purchasing a new Galaxy Note 4, could I purchase a Note 4 locked to AT&T and just purchase the byop activation kit from Straight Talk? Or do i NEED to buy an unlocked at&t/GSM Note 4 to work on Straight Talk network?

2) What are the best going websites for purchasing a New/Mint condition Note 4 at a reasonable rate (out of contract rate) ?

3) Any tips when making switch from AT&T to ST? How do you make sure mms works while on ST with Note 4?

4) What happens if I root the phone and freeze any apps I don't necessarily want to use? Does it mean the phone will have to be resold at a significantly lower price than a phone that hasn't been rooted?

I appreciate any and all feedback! Thanks!

make sure if you buy the whole full retail , make sure to ask for unlock code as they are suppose to give to you once paid.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

to answer number 2 ... you can buy it on off contract with verizon for 700.00 or go on ebay . which they have unlocked ones for at least 750 .

att off contract is 825

answer number 3 - you just gots to change the apn to the STRAIGHTTALK APN

answer number 4 - i dont think their is no root for verizon note 4 yet . i think dev edition are capable for some
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drwolcot:
My Nexus 6 seems to have an issue from day one and is still present with the 5.0.1 update and the most recent camera update. I'm unlocked and unencrypted.

When using the camera, any camera app, the viewfinder and ultimately the photo/video comes out blurry when shooting in landscape. If i shoot in portrait, the viewfinder and the photos are sharp.

In landscape is starts clear and sharp and then quickly changes to being blurry. Even resting the phone on a still surface it is always blurry. Lighting conditions or shooting mode don't make any difference.

I attached two photos showing the difference, both handheld.

It's almost like something is wrong with the OIS in landscape. Hardware issue?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
did you touch to focus or did you just point and shoot?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drwolcot:
touch to focus... it actually begins to focus and then it looks like the sensor is shaking on the screen and shows up in the photos. I have no issues at all when in portrait mode.

This even happens when the camera is sitting on a still surface so its not my hand shaking.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drwolcot:
This is with the camera sitting stationary on my desk and a 10/sec timer
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucke:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucke:
i was lucky to call and complain about it within the 14 day buyers remorse period so they could send me a brand new one instead of a possible refurbished one, but it was like pulling teeth with them. i had to explain that it was a hardware issue several times before they agreed to send me another one. after several phone calls later in the next few days, i finally got someone who was willing to do it then and there while on the phone.

good luck :good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frag1le:
I have about the same problem with my more then 1 year old Nexus 6. After my nexus 6 fell of my bed (with a tpu case and no visible damage) it seems that i can only get the camera to properly focus while holding it at 90 degrees (so with the camera sensor towards my right hand) and while holding it at 180 degrees (so upside down) 0 and 270 degrees (camera towards left hand) the camera focusses, during the focussing it's focused for like a fraction of second and then the blurriness/vibration starts, in both camera and video mode.

So thanks for this topic, i guess i'm ordering a replacement camera module.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frag1le:
Replacing the camera module has fixed my focusing problem. The module itself was around 13 dollars on aliexpress. For anyone that's facing focussing/ois problems with the camera, you can easily replace the module yourself.
[Galaxy S 4 General] OmarManLover:
first , hello to all xda members even the guests

we know every android device has it's own senses and look , Nexus devices is google look only with the pure android version

HTC is HTC because it's UltraPixel Camera and the xenon flash , and it is HTC because the main launcher features and senses

Samsung is SAM because the TW and the especial smart features

but , why we always try to kill the device look by downgrading it's features (the words now about the Galaxy S4)

S4 will not be S4 without the Camera app and the Smart Features smart scroll , pause , stay , AirView , gestures ...... etc ...

but when we use any pure android version on our S4 , then , we are killing the device , whatever what I gain from the update as long as it's pure

without the smart features S4 will not be even S3 because some S3 TW roms contains the Smart Scroll , and Pause

as I said whatever I will get from the update , even if it's Android 5 Lollipop , because the update will not make my S4 camera be 16 mp , or my CPU be

2.5 instead of our 1.9 or my RAM be 3gb like the N9005 , etc ... so I will get more performance more stability as the developers say (I guess it's wrong) because whatever the developers

tried will never ever make an stable rom without any bugs like the official release , so all is useless

the developers are in war , one makes CM12 as 4.0 , and other makes 5.0.1 etc why that ??? they must focus on the TW roms because it will upgrade really the S4 to be like S5 or N4 , but any pure version only will kill the S4 and makes it like an only Nexus 1 , etc ......

I really like the TW developers , especially (Tamirda and Slim08) because they are very professional and gave us super features that make the S5 users say how come , it was bad idea when I bought S5 or upgraded my S4 to S5 especially when I let him see my PhoeniX or Imperium's Notification panel , etc ... so thanks alot for the two stars

so getting the latest android version unofficially is very bad especially when the device officially doesn't get the last android version , example : i9300 it's final android version

is 4.3 so if I use any custom rom based on 4.3 , about 90% stable , but if I get custom rom based on 4.4.2 the rom be very unstable with buge especially the bug which made the s3 users forgot all the 4.4.2 base roms and the bug is (when the phone is turned off and I connect the charger the phone always powered on) this bug is terrible and that bug is in all 4.4.2 based rom

I repeat in all the 4.4.2 roms ex:Glamour s5 v 7 , s5 sensation 7 , etc ... and S3 can use CM roms because it hase no smart features , but S4 with pure roms will be ****

S4 with TW 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 is very well because the two versions is out for S4 officially with it's official kernel , and anyway android 5 for S4 is on the way and anyway it will be very nice as we sow the Sammobile video review , and the TW developers will upgrade their roms to be as android 5 after the official release the source code

if I was wrong , somebody correct me , anyway thank you and sorry for the long
[Galaxy S 4 General] ballsofsteel:
In the long run there will be no touchwiz for further development, especially considering how 5.0 is likely the final update the S4 will receive officially. After then perhaps only the Google play edition S4 will receive updates (one more than the original possibly), and by that point there will not be a touchwiz rom beyond 5.0 unless it is a port.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DSA:
That made no sense and gave me a headache trying to read it
[Galaxy S 4 General] didoop:
I will tell you why.

Becasuse of speed and most important - STABILITY.

I only tried stock rom for 4 hours.

Then I tried omega rom, many versions, but there always appeared some bugs. In the beggingng after installing for like one month everything okay, then lags appeared, FCs, etc.

Then tried S5port Echoe. Again, after installing, felt like new pgone - everything great. One month passed and again random reboots when rotating or just using phone - but no lags.

GPE 5.0 finally stable and no REBOOTS !!!

Also, nearly all smart functions except air view and smart notification (vibrate after picking up phone with notification) are unusable, or not needed at all.

Maybe I'am transforming into apple user, but yeah, i would never say that but for now, with AOSP 5.0 Im the happiest during my android usage.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=1228513]didoop[/MENTION]: It's funny you mention stability. I've only had one instance (so far) where my S4 became unstable, and that's when the NV memory became corrupted at the same time the SIM card tray failed. The former was caused by my attempting to add extra LTE bands to the phone, while the latter was just dumb luck.

As for Touchwiz itself, I'm running a stock ROM where the only modifications made to it were to debloat it. It's been rock solid, though I found the Touchwiz launcher to be a pain and quickly replaced it with Google Now. Realistically, the only feature I likely would miss switching to an AOSP/AOKP/CyanogenMod ROM would be the camera software. The Google version, while it includes Photosphere, just doesn't appear to be laid out as well as the Touchwiz camera.

What I will do after the S4 stops receiving official updates I haven't decided on. There are many choices available in the development section, and it'd be pointless to make a decision now, especially with 5.0 or 5.1 coming down the pike.
[Galaxy S 4 General] -Ric-:
What's the point of this topic? If you don't like custom roms based on AOSP, don't use them... it's a matter of choice, for me and for many other people the S4's "Smart Features" are a complete useless trashy gimmick that samsung added only cause they had nothing else that was actually useful...

As i said, it's a matter of personal preference. Don't like it, don't use it, it's that simple. Now, bashing devs that try their best to bring the latest versions of Android and add their own features to improve users experience by saying their software turns our phone into crap... That's just plain ignorant and offensive.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AntaresOne:
Indeed
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
This was directed at the OP, right? I know I mentioned using a stock ROM, but I didn't mention it with the purpose of bashing anyone. It was hard to tell since you posted after me and didn't mention who you were talking to. In any case, this was a rant. It was done in a hurry, and the OP was either clearly frustrated or a Touchwiz fanboy. Regardless, his wall of text was difficult to read, which makes it difficult for me to take him seriously.
[Galaxy S 4 General] -Ric-:
Yes, it was directed at the OP, i honestly still cant figure the point of this topic at all lol, if he likes touchwiz, sure, why not, but why bash AOSP devs? Nonsense lol
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Well, the point was to troll for responses really. We're giving them too. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] OmarManLover:
thanx really for everyone who participated in this thread

may I was wrong , because from 4 months a go I used dual roms on my i9505 using dual boot switcher , primary as TW , secondary as AOSP base

so that was very nice , and I think hat solves my problem , and if android 5 supports the dual boot . it will be very great and sorry again for my first long post

forgive me
[Galaxy S 4 General] knuckles1978:
Sorry OP, but its gotta be said, you talk a lot of ****. No offence.

According to you, if I have an s4 without those rubbish gimmicky features like smart pause, then its not as good as an s3 with touchwiz.

I don't need those gimmick features. I have an s4 instead of an s3 because it has a more powerful processor, a more powerful gfx processor, more RAM, an infinitely better screen, a better camera, 4G, and it looks nicer.

Touchwiz is the biggest lot of crap. I'll stick with stock android, or a custom ROM close to it. There's lots of good features in custom ROMs that are actually useful, instead of just 'something cool to show to your friends' (but you don't actually ever use it, or you try to but it doesn't work half the time and you could have just done it yourself faster anyway).

Oh, and I'm using a beta ROM right now that is fast as hell and has been absolutely rock stable since I flashed it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mingolianbeef:
I used to own an S4, so let me say this...

Touchwiz, aka sh*twiz, is the most bulky, counterintuitive Android UX to date. Case in point, people with NOTE 4s report lag. Have you seen the spec sheet of the note 4? It should eat anything it throws at it. My cousin owns one and it jitters from time to time.

Removing touchwiz is actually, if you want to be technical, MORE beneficial. Constantly beating on the processor, memory and ram with features that require the specs of a small computer decreases device life. Also, constantly having to charge the battery decreases the life of the battery as well (one of the causes of battery swelling). TW is only accepted because the MAJORITY of Android users are oblivious to rooting. So, you, among others, can say that a Samsung isn't a Sammy w/o touchwiz, but a true Android enthusiast is going to equally support the opposition with facts that stand behind them.

P.S. - you can get TW features without the TW ROM. Sammy could easily detouchwiz their software, much like HTC did with Sense, but they do it to be rebellious in my opinion, and the same features can be implemented without the skin in a stock ROM. Remember, touchwiz is a FORK of AOSP. The look of TW is purely by choice, and its a bad one
[Galaxy S 4 General] knuckles1978:
I think between you and me, we've covered the main points. :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Would debloating the stock ROM and replacing the Touchwiz launcher improve the situation? Obviously it wouldn't be as good as going with AOSP but it should make a difference, shouldn't it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] knuckles1978:
You could make a difference yes, but you'd be far better just getting rid completely of that TW crap.
