[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kilroy672:
I picked up a Samsung EVO 64 gb instead of the PNY. Now I woder if I should take that pack and get the 32gb pro for the same price instead. It has faster read/write speeds and has better reviews. Any comments on the pro vs evo?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jazzmachine:
I think the EVOs are good cards too. They're not quite as fast as the PNYs that I have, but the IO speeds of BOTH will be limited in your phone. The PNYs (rated speed-wise) are comparable to the Samsung Pros while the speeds of the EVO are, I believe, about half that, but it still won't run at those speeds inside your N4 - maybe a bit over half (I/O speeds in the 20s or maybe low 30s, which is the same that you'll see with a UHS rated card). Read/write speed not really being all that relevant criteria, I view reliability as the most important factor. In that regard, I'd feel just about as "safe" with an EVO card as I do with the PNYs; maybe a bit more so with a Samsung Pro, but not enough to be worth the price increase.

My best advice would be to get a high capacity OTG/USB 3 flash drive and use it to regularly back up your entire micro sd (as well as internal storage). Those drives are awesomely convenient, and surprisingly quite reasonably priced. I've been "collecting" them, and I've gotten a few 64GB drives for around $30 on sale as well as a 128GB for $40(! - that one was from Woot). Of the drives that I have, I like the ones made by Corsair and Patriot the most (form-factor and I/O speed-wise).

I don't really see any point in swapping out your EVO, unless it develops a problem. They're solid cards IMO, and again, you wouldn't see a speed increase if you used a higher rated (speed) card as long as you're just using it for your phone :good:

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siccoblue:
Okay so i was gonna install a custom rom on my nook HD+ one of the steps was to delete system, data, and cache which i did.

After doing so i realized that adb was not recognizing the nook so i couldnt push what i needed to to get the install going and basically at this point, im stuck in a cwm recovery bootloop and cant seem to get anywhere.. i dont have a backup and was wondering if there was any way i could possibly get my nook booting again even if it means restoring to stock entirely (which i cant seem to find anything about)

as a side note, if i dont hold the power and n button on boot, it just sticks on the cyanoboot screen untill i hard shutdown and reboot holding them, then it loads the cyanoboot recovery or whatever

any help is much appreciated, ive searched and searched and cant seem to find any relevant information on the subject and nothing ive tried seems to help me get it running again...

edit: fixed it! shout out to leapinlar for this thread with stock roms

[Nexus 6 Accessories] NWNJ:
I just purchased an incredible genuine leather case made in Israel on Amazon. The case is amazing and is absolutely stunningly gorgeous. The price is currently $44.99 with free shipping. Here is the link on the Amazon site with lots of pictures: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RIZN3PO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here is the review I just posted. I truly can't say enough about this case and the seller:

This case is amazing and was delivered well ahead of the estimated date. It is shipped from Israel and was delivered in one day short of two weeks after order in New Jersey. The leather is ABSOLUTELY beautiful and this is a masterpiece. The phone fits perfectly into the plastic holder. It has a wonderful magnetic flap that closes shut. No button closure to break, thank goodness. It is simply gorgeous. Honestly, I love this thing. The seller also provides a nice letter with the package telling you to contact him if you have any problems with the order. I could not be any more impressed. I would give this 6 stars if I could. The only drawback, if you want to say that about it, is that it is sent registered priority mail, so it requires a signature. You can track the delivery through the Israel Post website where it sits for about a week until it arrives in the United States, then it is picked up by the U.S. postal service tracking, using the same tracking number, which was a pleasant surprise. I would encourage the seller to drop the registered mail in the future due to the inconvenience of them not simply leaving it in the mailbox, but it is all worth it. I would be glad to do business with this seller again.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] sabre31:
IMO this phone is to big for any case. I tried different cases and the only reason I wanted a case was because the back of the phone is slippery to me. Not sure why these vendors that make these big phones don't make the back better and not slippery. Anyways I hated every case as it added more bulk to the phone and simply got a Dbrand Skin and looks fantastic and gives me the grip I want with no added bulk.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgcyears:
Hello! Been using my phone (I9505) for like 2 years now and all worked perfectly. Suddenly, my touchscreen stopped working. After some hours of waiting, it worked back again, but then stopped working as well. After repeating this cycle, today is the first day that I couldn't use my touch screen at all. Touch screen buttons (capacitive buttons I believed they are called) work great. Also, I figured out something, If I press the power key and fastly move my finger around the screen 'till it turns on, it does detect my finger, but after the screen has turned on it doesn't let me use the touchscreen. I've tried reformatting the phone a couple of times but no success (not only factory, but mega wipe as well).

Any help, please?

P.S: Also, forgot to mention, daydream function was activated and it worked well, but when my touchscreen was unresponsive, If I had let my screen turned on, it wouldn't go into it, but simply turn off the screen. I believe it's something to do with deep sleep? (I believe that was a known-problem for the ROM I was using at that time (Albe's lollirom). Atm I'm not using it anymore.

In the Netherlands there is a pre-registration offer which gives the pad for free. Otherwise you have to buy it. The retail price in the Netherlands for that charging pad is €24.99 so that would probably be $24.99.

I'm here in the US, so all that doesn't apply to me.... but HOPEFULLY the US carriers will do the same! If not $25 isn't bad at all!

On a side note... Is there "faster" wireless chargers, or do all wireless chargers charge at the same rate?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meboy:
I think most of the US carriers as well as US BestBuy and other retailers will be offering the wireless pad on pre-orders.

Efficiency is the big question.

There hasn't been any info on specs and improvements to the tech that I know of besides that the S6 and Edge will support both wireless standards.

I have a Qi pad and slim under the back cover receiver for my S5 and it's not great at all.

It's very slow to charge.

It gets quite hot. I stopped using it mostly for this reason. I can just imagine what that was doing to the halflife of my battery and possibly the other components.

It will often turn the screen on and off when it's fully charged like it's topping up but it thinks it's been removed and put back on the pad.

Hopefully Samsung has gotten it right. I can't imagine them doing it if it has all the same issues as the current aftermarket ones.

If it gets hot. I won't be using wireless charging with an inbuilt battery especially.

At least there is no more cover like on the S5.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
Sounds like an issue with either the back, the pad, or Samsung's design. I have 8 of the Nokia DT900 Qi chargers around my house for my Nexus 5 and my girlfriend's Droid Turbo, and they work perfectly fine. Yes, it's slower to charge, but for resting them while watching TV, or when you go to sleep for the night, they're ideal.

The fact that I got 2 of the chargers free, and the other 6 for $40 total from when AT&T blew them out of inventory, I'm quite pleased with it, and it's pretty much a requirement on any phone I buy in the future.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tft:
wireless charging is more or less useless and overrated. why? SLOW. if you think you"ll be able to throw it on a pad and get 50% charge in less than 30 mins you're going to be disappointed. if the phone takes (for example) 2 hours to charge via usb cable, it will take at least double that when charging via wireless. And as mentioned, not only that, but a lot of heat generated putting unnecessary heat on the battery - even worse now, is the battery cannot be replaced!

when the hp touchpad tablet came out several years ago, i spent like 70 dollars on the wireless dock and only used it twice.

if i can get a wireless pad for free, cool, but i wont be buying one.

save that money and buy a portable battery charger.. you'll be glad you did.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
* useless for YOU.

I on the other hand use it regularly, and won't buy a phone without the feature.

Is very convenient for overnight charging with no cable fuss. Also have a wireless charger on my desk at work, and it is great to just toss the phone on it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glitch4583:
Now, does anybody have any experience with both charging variants? From what I have read around, it seems like PMA might be faster with less heat. Meanwhile, Qi has more options for chargers. (I have 3 of them, 2 for the house, 1 for the car).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFCaputo113:

and as i was saying:

and:

have fun degrading your internal sealed battery. especially with overnight charging for many hours.

this is the reason i find wireless chargers 'useless', maybe without these issues (mostly heat) and if the battery could be easily replaced i wouldn't mind using one. more of a reason that it's kinds of useless. it takes 1 more seconds to plug the phone in if charging overnight. it's not worth the extra wear they put on your battery.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
I only keep phones 6-12 months, so I'm not real worried about battery longevity.

However, restarting the game returns smooth framerate, but only until i finish one fight. With some games i can't deal smoothly (60 fps) at all. How can i unlock fps? Why does it happens so?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan1980:
dvfs disabled not an good choice, it an eseential set up for cpu, it raise/lower cpu clocks based on temperature among many things.

You could burn your screen, phone with it disabled.

Example on note 3, with it disabled, cpu temp is 90C or more. With it ON, cpu temp is 75C.

now, unlocked fps, to raise fps on any phone, disabled all animation, then disabled with android tuner all games/apps that start at boot, then install an overclock kernel.

From 2.2ghz cpu to 2.7ghz cpu your frames will go higher.

also iq governor, like SIO could bump your frames.

There is a lot of talk about VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling coming to the Nexus 6.

At MWC, Google talked about a MVNO that didn't compete with the Big 4, yet it just pushed boundaries. There was talk of VoLTE and calls automatically reconnecting when they are dropped.

What if Google is planning on pushing 5.1 and their MVNO on March 12, starting with VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling support for the Nexus 6? Just an idea.

For verizon to launch on the 12th with 5.1, google is going to have to drop 5.1 into ASOP earlier than that.

Hi Team,

I've got a Nexus 5 I bought in September 2014 and last night it froze while using Facebook's application. It was unresponsive so I turned the device completely off. When rebooting I got past the Google Logo to the four colored balls and it would sit there for a moment before restarting.

I went ahead to factory reset it using the steps Google provided. I am up to -- Wiping data Formatting /data... but it's been there for almost 2hours, the devices storage was about 12/16gb full, could this be one of the main reasons it is slow or am I leaning towards a failed cellphone?

Some advice on other action to take, otherwise I'll have to take it to where it was purchased (Here in New Zealand) and have it looked by the repair agent.
