[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Something is possibly trashed. Have you been doing a lot of "dirty flash" updates for CM? You might want to wipe it clean with a factor data reset and reinstall clean and see how that goes.

If the issue persists, then you might want to go back to stock and see if that fixes it. If at that point, you are still experiencing the issues, then the phone might be dying.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daytonboi:
I did neglect to mention that, I'm running bone stock right now just unlocked and rooted :( so it is as I feared, my phone is dying.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
just because you are running stock and having the issues doesnt mean its dying.

if you flash stock clean and are still having the issues, then its likely dying.

there could easily be some building corruption that just needs to be fixed by flashing stock.

dont bother doing any factory reset, just go right for the flash, it will wipe while its doing its thing.

Hey guys i have a 16gb N5 and yes i'm a flashaholic lol but since they're so many different lollipop roms out there lately I like to use i can only back up and run only 2 maybe 3 but that's really pushing it, so my question is there a way i can back up a rom and upload it to the cloud so I can save space in my internal storage then flash it (using TWRP recovery) whenever I want to from a cloud app like Google Drive or DropBox for example? Thanks in advance﻿
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes there are online backup apps. Look in play / on XDA.app section.

Obviously you will have to pull it back from the cloud before you restore it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Cobalt-:
Hey all,

I'm finally updating to 5.0 but I'm rather confused since I couldn't find answers to my questions.

My phone is rooted and I'm running a 4.4.2 rom. I'm looking to flash a 5.0 custom rom.

1. I'm coming from a 4.4 rom called purity. Is there any special procedure I have to do before flashing to a 5.0 custom rom? I know some phones need to flash additional files like a radio but I'm not sure if it's the case with the Nexus 5.

2. Do I have to flash a new bootloader? Or will flashing a custom 5.0 rom update the bootloader for me ?

Thanks and much appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Cobalt-:
Bump. Any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
1. No, you can use any radio as long as it's one for the Nexus 5.

2. No, but its recommended to update the bootloader anyways.

Hello.

Just wondering if anyone know if there is a cab for network wizard for Dopod 838 English ROM for Asia (HK). I just flash my softbank with wm6, but it doesn't have the network wizard. I manage to find one, but it is in Chinese.

Could someone points me to what I can get it?

Also, I notice some forum says I can extract cab from ROM.. try to search thru the post here but can't find much find. If I can't find it on the .net, maybe I can extract the cab myself. Could someone point to me this direction as well?

Appreciated

Hi

I have a problem i restored my phone "Xperia Z3" to factory settings. Then i had alot of problems with to getting my sms back. I have done a back up.

Now i can only see my reciewed messages and mms but not the ones that i have send.

On the stock sms app i can see everything including my sent but it crashes all the time when i scroll. I cannot see it in hang out or google messages or in textra. Before i did the restore i did use textra with ios emoji plugin is it maybe because of that?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] born_fisherman:
I picked up the N6 from an AT&T retail store last Saturday.. I've been missing calls, texts and emails when the phone is in my pocket on vibrate mode.. I've been reading that people are saying the vibration motor is extremely aggressive on this phone. However, I've been to 5 AT&T stores and am on my 2nd phone now (for another reason, not the vibration) and all AT&T versions I've felt have the same weak vibration motor.. If anyone can contest to this please advise. I had a G2 and also have an iPhone 5 for work and both of those have strong vibrate modes.

Should I start wearing skinny jeans with this phone? Although I'm not sure the phone will fit in skinny jean pockets ?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalelfornia:
Someone know anything about how I might be able to recover my TF300T. I am stuck with the issue of only being able to get into APX mode. Running Xubuntu and I can see it in APX mode. When I run the sudo ./recover.sh command it looks for my create.bct file.

It never found it. I swear I put the files in the same folder as everything else.

I must have deleted the files when I installed the dual-boot of Windows 8 and Xubuntu. Stupid me.

Is there any way of finishing this or does someone have their tf300 files who may have got rid of their tablet?

I just want to get the files to see if I can get it running. I can work from there.

I am probably screwed, right?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
The bct files and recovery files are unique to the tablet, so you can't exactly use someone elses blobs. :(

try flashing your official firmware through Odin. other users solve their imei problem by doing that. see also if you can access engineering mode with that official firmware.

i tried to flash it with an official firmware but thats does not help the imei still wrong and i am not able to access engineering mode too

any other suggestion or anyone can help
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edong23:
lets wait for others specially those who are expert in android for some advice. I'm just an ordinary security guard so i can't help you much with your problem. what i have suggested you from my previous post was the last thing I did when my phone finally worked. for 4 days i been searching for solution because i also have an IMEI problem. i flash back to official rom, flash patched modem, flash other roms to no avail until such time when my phone doesn't boot because of broken partition :laugh:. if you still have warranty restore it back. if you're already out of warranty and you have money, you can it send it to service center.

P.S.

you can also try this if you have courage. i was able to make some secret codes work but i have'nt tried if it works with engineering mode by modifying hiddenmenu in /efs/carrier/hiddenmenu. use efs explorer to open hiddenmenu and change it to ON.save it and restart your phone and see if engineering mode work. remember that you have to be in official firmware and also rooted to do this. if its not working then you'll just have to wait for a much better solutions from devs.

[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
This has been talked about before but I'm really starting to think something might be wrong here. Is it 5.0? Is it art? Or could there be something else going on here?

I am unencrypted.

Rockstar just released Chinatown Wars for Android. New port of an old game and while driving around the city it lags like crazy. Tried it out on my N5 and it's perfectly fine.

Look at reviews on the Google play store other N6 owners are saying the same... The game lags. Yet I don't see any other reviews complaining about the same. One person on a Note 2 commented how smooth the game was.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Different resolution. Tell the devs to update their games. The phone is fine.
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
Are you saying that because it has a higher resolution that's why it's lagging? Shouldn't the faster processor cancel that out.

Ok now explain why even while unencrypted games still load faster on my N5?
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
Madden Reviews. One poster said it played fine on his Note 4 but not on his N6. Aren't those both the same resolution?

I get lag playing SpiderMan Unlimited .. No lag on my LG G3 with same resolution. Not sure what is going on

I'm chalking it up to an android 5.0 thing
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
I'm very concerned too. It has been so great and the phone and OS were just released less than a month ago. Can't wait to see what's in store for us Nexus 6 users ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
This isn't a resolution problem.

There is an 8 minute gameplay vid of Chinatown Wars on Youtube being played on a Note 4, 3 days ago smooth as butter.

And Chinatown wars is not even a very demanding game. Both my N6 and N5 ran cool while playing it. But it lagging like hell on a new $700 device is 100% unacceptable.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Get a different device, it's clear you've decided this one has issues
[Nexus 6  General] trickster2369:
There are devices around that are specifically designed for games. Maybe try one of those?

Sent from my SinLess Shamu
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
Yea and that device was supposed to be a Nexus 6.

Is this not the most powerful phone with the biggest/best display on the market? Besides gaming what else would someone need all this processing power for? Facebook? YouTube?

This phone should blow away everything you throw at it... And right now it's not competing with a 1 year old device that's sold for half the price.

You people should be demanding answers as well.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Oh look a Rockstar game that is badly supported that runs badly. Almost as predictable as water being wet.
[Nexus 6  General] clninja:
How does that explain the Gameloft marvel game I was playing that lags bad?

Look I love this phone and will not be switching it out fire something else but there IS undeniably something going on with graphics performance
[Nexus 6  General] OrionBG:
I have been playing Family Guy - The Quest For Stuff for a while on my Note 3 and even on a Moto G. The Game was perfectly playable. On my new Nexus 6 it is lagging like crazy! I have tried several different demanding 3D games like Real Racing 3 for instance and most of them are working fine. I also don't think it is an Android 5.0 issue as my Moto G is running official Android 5.0 ROM. Maybe it is a combination between the high resolution and something else... I don't know...
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
The only thing i can think of are those read/write times. Even unencrypted my games take longer to load.

Now why are some games performing fine and others terribly?

Maybe certain games are loading more into ram from the start and it's smooth sailing? While others are struggling to load data consistently on the fly?
[Nexus 6  General] OrionBG:
According to some tests I did, the storage on the Nexus 6 is on the same performance level as the Nexus 5 and even just a little bit faster. (unencrypted). So there shouldn't be any problems. Also, I haven't seen any slow loading in any of the games I've tried. Family Guy, Real Racing 3, Plants vs Zombies 2...
[Nexus 6  General] rootusr:
You know what I'm in the same boat but I'm pretty sure it should be software optimisation missing, I run a really simple 8 ball game, nothing too CPU demanding, animations lags on my Nexus 6 but not in my Nexus 5. Something should be wrong but with the OS or apps.
[Nexus 6  General] msd24200:
I'd say art has a small part to play in this, but I also read about there being different brand memory installed on different nexus 6 devices that is believed to possibly play a roll in this. Out of the games I've played I've experienced zero lag and my load times are fine. I've read about people having lag on coc and coc has always played fine for me. Asphalt 8 runs great! Spiderman unlimited plays great, Temple run, mine craft, Terraria, pool break, etc... Maybe I've just been lucky.
[Nexus 6  General] OrionBG:
Can you please reboot to Bootloader and tell us the model of the eMMC and the DRAM used in yours?

[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
So we definitely know it is related to CPU scaling, now I'm wondering if the low power mode is having problems scaling up from the 2 cores to all cores or if it is a problem with the actual governor
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
Just want to say regardless of what happens thanks sykopompos (and trypsyk the other day) for taking an interest and looking for a solution
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
I think I have an idea on this that I will test out tomorrow, maybe the next day because I will be spending the day with my son all day tomorrow.

This looks kernel related to me, so I wanna try a few things to see if it will correct this and if it does, I will pass those changes off to kernel devs so your favorite kernel gets fixed too
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
So recompiled the kernel with the gerrit commits from the aosp 3.10 kernel source that I was thinking would help and I could at least make it through the magic 2015 menus (they were still laggy there but seemed to be a bit faster) but once I got through them it played smoothly to me ( I also threw in a couple other commits that I found would also make an improvement from what I seen)

Can I just flash the boot.IMG with flashify or twrp?
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
I'm not sure what other changes that Franco makes but most kernel devs do other changes like replacing with their own power hal. Best thing to do is to reflash your ROM

I'm still getting lag on madden and the cores still act about the same.
[Nexus 6  General] rickykemp:
i still think it is something to do with GPU utilisation in 3D not implemented correctly. If you run a 3D application, the speed should go to 600Mhz and sit there, not hit it occasionally.
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
I wonder why some of the games people are reporting run fine, its possible that there is more than one issue that only comes out on certain hardware combinations. I have KOTOR and it runs silky smooth. I am using franko's r2, on Resurrection Remix. I just downloaded Magic 2015 and in the menu's its lagging badly I can barely select anything in the menus. I think if we can compile a list of games that the lag is seen on and how to reproduce the lag we can then look at seeing what hardware/software combinations see what bugs.

I will grab madden and chinatown later to test.

[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Were talking about gaming......
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Could it still be the game not updated for the n6? Could something in the game code keep the CPU locked?
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Slight improvement in some games it seems but not really enough to make a difference. I gotta look at the scaling in power.shamu.rc and the power hal
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Interestingly, when I lock the cpu at 2.7ghz madden still lags. Maybe it is some kind of incompatibility with lollipop.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Has to be LP and n6... These games work on LP and other devices just fine
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Something else interesting though is that when it lags the gpu goes down to 240mhz. Anyone know how I can lock it at 600mhz to see if that is the issue?

edit:nvm I figured it out

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

There is no lag at all in madden with the gpu on performance profile...
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
What about the other games? What kernel app are you running
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Stock kernel and I used trickster mod pro to change the gpu governor to performance... I think the issue is the stock gpu governor. I'm downloading magic 2015 now.

Edit: I've gotten madden to lag than paused and set the governor to performance through trickstermod, then resumed and the lagging stops.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisram88:
Awesome report back mangggg

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Is there anyway to test to see if the CPU is locking up the same time the GPU is crapping out? Meaning now that the GPU locks to 600 does the CPU scale normally again
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
You can using system monitor, its paid, but totally worth it. I'll check and see, but I don't think that the lag has anything to do with the cpu. Another note is that madden still runs smooth even if I set the max frequency to 389mhz and use the performance profile.

Edit: here's a screenshot of system monitor pro and a link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.systemmonitor&hl=en
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Actually it does seem like the cpu scales correctly when the gpu is using the performance governor.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Wish I knew anything about any of this.... Maybe one of the kernel devs can figure out where the error is... Or [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Yeah, we are definitely going to need a kernel dev to look at this, but I'm almost sure the default gpu governor is the issue. Still waiting on magic 2015 to download btw.
[Nexus 6  General] rickykemp:
Haha Love it when I'm right, what did I say 2 pages back.
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
Yeah I wish I would have checked the gpu frequencies after reading your post.
[Nexus 6  General] sykopompos:
Where can we change the GPU scaling frequencies or governor? I'm unfamiliar where that gets set (without a app I mean) what file is it?
[Nexus 6  General] Xileforce:
Kotor runs fine for me until I turn on high quality graphics option. Turning that on I can still run smooth in some places but become super laggy in others. Going to try performance gpu and see if it fixes it. I was about to do that when I read this thread :P

Edit:

Seems to be slightly smoother but still will hit almost unplayably laggy spots. As in like 5fps. Seems to happen after playing for a bit. Maybe its a memory leak? The high quality graphics option uses significantly higher resolution textures maybe that's the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] Hand76:
So this whole thing could be the gpu govenor?

I just tried Trickster mod on Francos kernal put it on performance gpu govenor (interactive cpu givenor) and started up GTA China Town Wars and this is a night and day difference! Mind blown!

Going to go try a few other titles.
[Nexus 6  General] bpdev:
That would be my opinion, we need to get [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] and the other kernel devs to take a look at this.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
I feel this phone is slower than my last few phones in games(nexus 5 and galaxy s3 in particular). Kind of a bummer. I'll replace it when something better is released on sprint. I'm not impressed with Motorola at all.
[Nexus 6  General] MrDSL:
Well I changed GPU to performance on Franco's kernel and Castle Clash does run better . not sure its as smooth as my old phone but definitely better
