[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matb321:
I regret buying the Nexus Player. It freezes,Bluetooth controller/remote disconnect all the time,lack of apps even with side loading, various app crashes (Netflix mostly),voice search sucks and it just feels like a beta product at best.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeto:
I think the Android TV platform is great. But the nexus player doesn't seems as good as what is coming soon hardware wise. I'd wait for the Razer forge tv or nvidia shield console.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isaacvv:
Yeah the nvidia looks pretty sweet.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scootercan:
I love it!!

I have had many devices including ATV1,2,3 and the WD TV. The Applee 3 is still used for mirroring from Idevices. The WD was second device as it had and external HDD port but it was constantly rebooting. With my Nexus player I enabled devleoper mode and enabled the USB support. I bought an USB to go cable and installed file explorer. Now it's my favourite device. It can do HDD movies, netflix and Kodi.

Well worth it in my mind. Also had custom roms available if you don't like android TV and want to go to lollipop.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
If you can find an Android ADT-1 (the developer's Android TV box), then you'd be better off with that. Much better specs - I've been using mine for nearly 2 months now and since the 5.0.1 update about 7 weeks ago it's been running flawlessly.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h20wakebum:
Hi there,

Were you able to get Navi-X up and running?

This is my main reason for wanting to buy the nexus player. This way, I'd not need to hook my laptop up to the TV and could just access Navi-X from the Nexus Player.

Please advise if you (or anyone else) has been able to get Navi-X running on the nexus player.

Thanks!!

I think the biggest plus for the nexus player would be regular android updates directly from google for a long time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atom bomb:
Hello!

I have a Nexus 5 with no warranty (according to LG, I need a receipt which I don't have) and the display is acting up. I noticed if I slightly bend the phone, the display flickers, sometimes fixes the problem, or it turns off. Over the last 6 months, the touch screen has been erratic and sometimes I have to hard reboot the phone to get it working again. Also on startup, sometimes I get the rainbow coloured "static noise" on the screen and then I push on the screen a bit and it is working again. Does anyone have any ideas what might be the cause and how to fix it? I feel like it's a ribbon cable problem but I have no clue. I went into Bootloader and factory reset it multiple times, pushed the factory image, pushed TWRP and Cataclysm.

Thanks for any and all help!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Replace the flex cable. It's fairly cheap.

If that doesn't solve your problem, then it's a screen or motherboard issue (i'd recommend paying LG for a repair rather than guessing between the two and possibly wasting money).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atom bomb:
Thanks for the info. I have been looking for a while but I'm not sure which flex cable to replace? From the iFixIt teardown, it doesn't look like getting to the display cable is easy/possible. Do you have any links for what I should purchase? I'm comfortable with taking it apart and doing the work, just want to make sure I buy the right piece :).

Thanks!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homigura:
Hey there, i'm experiencing some bad issues ...

My moto G won't connect (and won't charge as well) to any computer, and only charges when i use the wall charger... (tried multiple cabes / usb entries / computers.). This happened out of nowhere, i tried reinstalling CM12 ,and fresh reinstalling it as well...

Tried to fix that with Settings -> Storage, then hit the menu button, and USB computer connection , but when i click 'usb computer connection' , nothing happens. Any way to enable / disble stuff that are inside this menu without accessing it?...

I need to get this working...

Got a problem with the torch as well... It seems WAY less brighter then stock, any fix?

(using latest nightly on cm12 , build from 06/04/15.)

Update : If i plug the phone into pc while in fastboot (the voldown + power menu) , my pc recognizes it but the phone won't recognize it is connected, it still shows 'connect USB Data Cable' .

[Sony Xperia E1] CroNoob:
Hello, im trying to make my own theme for xperia devices (android 4.4) and i want to make it dark/black, now im kinda stuck with my theme because i dont know how to change font color of texts in message app, settings, contacts, alarm, and basically all system apps that can be affected by theme. I have changed most of backgrounds and now this bothers me so much, i have wanted to make theme as i would like to use but its not really that much usable if i dont change font color, i appreciate any help.

Im sorry if this is not right place to post question, if its against the rules report to admins so they can move it to other forum.
[Sony Xperia E1] gregbradley:
Please tell me which device you have and I will move it for you to the correct forum
[Sony Xperia E1] funky0308:
Check all xmls in res folders and you'll see font color.

Set those lines to white HEX codes colors.

When we are talking about system fonts, or font color in settings you will have to edit few files more.

It's to big thing to say in one post but try to search a bit and you'll find tutorials.

Try to search for editing smali, font color in settings and android theming

[Sony Xperia E1] Emperor.dk:
Yes, that gives one a headache.

You need to edit the overlay XMLs for a lot of themed APKs, the color.xml.

It's a bit of a detective work and trial and error.

One thing that will make your head explode is the fact that "semc_text_color_primary" in com.sonyericsson.uxp also sets the color for search and edit text boxes. I have managed to controle the color of search boxes by making overlay XMLs for some layout-XMLs and styles for framework-res, but the edit-text boxes still folows "semc_text_color_primary".

I will go into detalis when i get the time in a new thread. I will post a theme you can use as base when time is in my favour.
[Sony Xperia E1] CroNoob:
Thank you for a reply.

I was busy last few days, sorry for a late reply.

I agree with you, it is really messed up to use one color for every system text, if i set white (since most background graphics are black) then i cant see anything on dialer because of white background. I have made another test theme with blue/white/gray details and its simple to use blue text in any app, but since there is a lot of people who would like to enjoy black theme (unfortunately Xperia E1 have non aosp roms) its too bad that making a useful black theme could be that hard.

Im waiting for your new thread, in meantime i will try to find a solution.

[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
Though probably not as easy as the S5, it still is technically removable and you can change the battery if you follow the directions, its in the Galaxy S6 manual on page 138

Here is the manual: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...M-G920F_UM_EU_Lollipop_Eng_Rev.1.0_150302.pdf

[Galaxy S6 General] natefish:
Not exactly an on-the-go process, though.
[Galaxy S6 General] beaverslayer:
I wonder what's actually holding the glass cover on. It just says remove it. It can't just be laying on there. Maybe some type of adhesive that has to be heated. Either way, it seems that it will be easy to replace the battery.
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
Yeah I read it was some adhesive. I hear you just need to heat the phone to melt the adhesive (apparently there is a video someone doing it with a blowdryer [Not with a Galaxy S6 but with another phone]), the pull the cover off and go on from there...doesn't seem that hard to do
[Galaxy S6 General] tenxo:
Ya and voids the warranty, though! Not a problem after the first year though.

[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Alleged-Galaxy-S6-battery-pack-snapped-confirming-2600-mAh-capacity_id66182

The battery is like this..... it is a non-removable type for you on street or newbies but if you do it carefully in home then it is actually removable.
[Galaxy S6 General] Nationalmaverick:
Work in phone repairs.

Many phones require adhesive heating to get to the internals.

All the Sony's Z's, for example.

[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:

[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
It's removable in the same way that the iPhone 6 battery is removable....;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Nationalmaverick:
Yep any phone repair place worth their salt will have a precise setup already in place for this, I obviously haven't seen the new Galaxies but its about a 45 minute process on the Zs and they're considered by our team to be a real pain relatively speaking.
[Galaxy S6 General] bigray327:
Two thoughts come to mind. First, I do battery-pull reboots of my S5 all the time (it black screen locks up due to a hardware issue) and I think most of us that flash ROMs have done the same a few times over the years. For instance, how would you get out of download mode if you don't flash anything? I hope that's addressed somewhere.

Second, I hope it comes with everything it needs for wireless charging out of the box. The S5 supports it but needs a coil inserted inside the back cover. I hope that all goes down easily because I've switched to completely wireless charging these days.
[Galaxy S6 General] osmosizzz:
Ive used the one plus one, the LG G2, and the HTC one m7 all without removable backs. You just hold the power button. no matter where are you in the system partition, (recovery, system or download mode or fastboot mode) holding the power button will yield a reboot or a power off state. and to reply to this thread, its not an easy thing the average joe can do but i myself fix friends phones and have a heatgun so heating up the back glass to soften the adhesive and chnage the battery after the first or second year doesnt look like it'll be a problem. the problem i do have however is if the phone rejects the new battery. my LG G2 rejected the newer battery and that thing would die at 50% and not charge all the way. even after calibration. but back its original battery and everything worked fine again
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
(1) For phones with non-removable batteries, there are certain buttons held together to perform hard reset, which is pretty much the same as a battery pull. I think for Samsung devices is Vol Down + Home Button

(2) The S6 is capable of wireless charging out the box, but its confirmed it will not come with a wireless charger in the box. The wireless charger is sold separately for $59.99

[Galaxy S6 General] vantt1:
Judging from these leaked housings:

View attachment 3199434

The back will be adhered using some sort of adhesive, which is considerably difficult to remove by a user with little/no phone repair experience. As noted by the manual, those instructions "are only for your service provider or an authorised repair agent." By this logic, every smartphone (even the HTC One's sandwiched design) has a removable battery, just of varying process complexity.

If we're comparing Samsungs with Sonys, the S6 is more similar to the Z1 than it is to the Z3, because it also involves unscrewing a cover that covers the logic board. But in fact, the S6 is actually very similar to the S5 in that the back housing covering the internals also makes up the side bezel of the phone, albeit being disassembled screen-first, and it is not made of metal/glass. Otherwise, both the S5 and S6 have a mid-frame chassis on which the logic board is mounted on, covered by the back housing then the battery cover.

View attachment 3199426

View attachment 3199431

The Z3 in that video has been prepared in advance. Take a look at this video, and skip to 2:55:

[YOUTUBE]x56gWKCFst4[/YOUTUBE]

The Z2 and Z3 both have that stretchy white adhesive holding the back down in the middle. If you expect the Z3's back cover to come off that easily, you're gonna have a bad time.
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
Out of curiousity, is it a special adhesive that cannot be purchased in stores? Say a laymen person was to remove it on his own by watching a YouTube video. How would he be able to put the cover back on tightly?
[Galaxy S6 General] vantt1:
There are two ways of re-applying that adhesive:

1. Use a roll of black 3M tape, and cut it by hand and sticking it around the perimeter of the glass

2. Buy pre-cut double-sided tape that is made specifically for your application (recommended)

Pictured below is a typical roll of 3M tape, underneath a typical pre-cut tape:

The former may be able to be purchased in a hardware store, but the latter may not.
[Galaxy S6 General] tepsarit:
This is what I would like to know as well. :o
[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
anything is possible i suppose. ive replaced several internal batteries on electronics. if you're technically savvy, have a few basic tools (solder station, heat gun, etc) i see no reason why it cannot be replaced, the phone wasn't born sealed.

the bigger question is whether samsung or another company makes the batteries available for purchase.
[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
Yes, the back over is removable, I knew this when I saw an announcement of zerolemon 's battery cases for this model. That's good.
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
I doubt the zerolemon case will require the GS6 to require the back cover to be removed
[Galaxy S6 General] Voicebox:
My brother has an HTC One (I think. 2 year old model.) and it started having issues and he managed to get it to reset once. Then it would never reset after that. Left it recharging for like a day just to be sure and all the other recommended steps. So he had to warranty exchange it, and got a junky rebuilt one with camera problems. For that reason, and the fact that I had to yank my battery on my S3 just last week when my phone wouldn't respond, I'm also leery of non-replaceable batteries. Particularly in the introduction period when consumers figure out if there are bugs.

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

I came and searched for this thread specifically because I saw it mentioned elsewhere.

Other than step 2, it looks straight forward. Step 2 is where I go too fast, scratch something, bend something, ding something, or break something, which screws up the back cover forever. Adhesive assembly should be banned. Though even worse is screw heads hidden under adhesive covers for which there are no easily available replacements that match.
[Galaxy S6 General] vantt1:
As it turns, out, the Galaxy S6's battery is less replaceable than any of the iPhones later than the 4. Yes, it's technically still 'removable", but by no means is it user-replaceable. Breaking factory adhesive means without the exact proper tools/adhesive, you won't be able to make it the way it was. In fact, this makes it only a little more replaceable than the HTC One M8, which also involves unplugging all cables connected to the logic board and removing it before the battery is accessible. The S6's back housing is probably marginally easier to remove than the M8's aluminum case.

[YOUTUBE]_rXLJ2uJWnw[/YOUTUBE]

A battery case does not require the back cover to be removed.
[Galaxy S6 General] beaverslayer:
I've seen a couple of these tear down videos/instruction tutorials. I think the ifixit go by is showing how to completely disassemble the sgs6, not replace the battery. Another showed changing the battery without removing the mother board. Removing and replacing the battery allows for many of the steps to be left off.
[Galaxy S6 General] vantt1:
Good point. Looks like the wireless charging pad doesn't need to be removed, and neither does the logic board, since the battery flex is on top.

That means Samsung's service manual is either incorrect or poorly worded:

That's no "circuit board", it's just the back housing!
[Galaxy S6 General] beaverslayer:
I noticed that as well. Seems they made a misprint.

Could it be frameware issue.

Do you have Kies installed?

Is Kies running?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
This is how I installed TWRP on my device. Since it failed to flash via Odin.

- Downloaded Nandroid manager from google play

- Downloaded busybox app from google play (Nandroid manager needs it and, since you're stock, you probably don't have busybox)

- Installed busybox via the app

- Downloaded TWRP recovery image from their site

- Flashed the image using Nandroid manager

- Select "Reboot into recovery" to see if it works

- ???

- Profit :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
What's odd here is that I have the opposite issue. I can't install TWRP through Goomanager and have to use Odin to update. Which reminds me...I need to see if TWRP fixed the bug for 2.8.5.0 on the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You don't need that. You can manually flash it true Terminal app on your phone. The instructions are on the TWRP site.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I don't use Terminal Emulator. The point is taken, but it's just as easy, if not easier, for me to use Odin. As for TWRP Manager, which I erroneously (I think?) called Goomanager, it does its job but the recovery, while installed to the right location, never works if I select "reboot to recovery" on my ROM. When installed using Odin that option works correctly.
