[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsumeikuro:
If you want the Nexus 6 and can get it easily just get it. Simple thing with Android phones, if you wait you're just going to keep on waiting. Get the N6 and get the new one once it comes out and sell the 6 and profit.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
The samsuck is a complete piece of trash. It doesn't even have a qualcomm chip -- its samsuck's own exynos.

The M9 is... kinda nice. The thing about it is that it is a snapdragon 810. I wouldn't call it a "bad" chip, but it is just an ARM reference design with an Adreno stapled onto the side of it. That means more heat and battery consumption than a proper qualcomm-designed core. It is basically a product that was *rushed* to market so that qualcomm could make the statement "we has 64 bitz too..." This was all set off by Apple using the 64 bit dirty trick a few devices ago. 64 bit *sounds* cool, but the reality is that our 32bit snapdragon 805's are much better performing than any of Apple's 64 bit chips, and WAAAAAAAY more power efficient.

The more I think about that chip (the 810), the more I don't want it. The reality is that the snapdragon 805 in the Nexus 6 is a ridiculously fast chip, and incredibly efficient, and very very very polished. 64 bit doesn't even offer much benefit unless you are dealing with crypto or media processing (yes, yes, nexus 6 with factory forced encryption gets a bit of a slowdown due to crypto), but the 805 has dedicated special super high efficiency hardware for dealing with all these tasks. In other words, if you used that 64 bit CPU to do these tasks, you would be at a lower efficiency than continuing to use the dedicated hardware (which yes, the 810 also has and also uses).

Far as crypto goes, source code changes for N6 device tree indicates that google is very close to throwing the switch and enabling the hardware crypto.

The next qualcomm SoC design that I am really interested in is the Snapdragon 820. This is the ACTUAL follow-up to the 805, and returns to a qualcomm-designed core, which is also 64 bit. There has been indication that this new core would be called "Taipan", but more recently, it looks like it could be called "Kryo". An interesting name, since it is phonetically equivalent to "cryo", from the Greek "Cryos" meaning "icy cold". Icy cold implies power and thermal efficiency, which are very highly desirable in a mobile chip, and not present in the 810.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriBeard:
I just bought one. I had my heart set on the M9, but I had the M8 and the M9 is very iterative, so I figured now was a good time to try something new. So far, I really like it. It's big, sure, and that takes some getting used to. But the screen is beautiful and it's fast as hell. I was dead set that my next phone would be 64 bit, but I think next years flagships with the 820 will be the 64 bit phones you want. The 810 is nice, and for gaming might make a difference due to the 430 vs 420, but for every day use and processor related tasks I don't think any difference will be noticeable.

If you like the phone, there's no reason not to get it, and being nexus it will get support for a good long while.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Yeah, worth it. The only other phone worth getting would be the Nexus 7?(phone) and that may or may not ever be released and if it does get released it won't be until around November.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriBeard:
Unless it's actually a 7 inch phone. Then no thanks. This is as big as it can get.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antebios:
OK, I'm convinced. Now the next question: Should I get the Nexus 6 from Swappa or Play Store? Midnight Blue or White? 32 GB or 64 GB? The Blue pill or the Red pill?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It doesn't really matter where you get it from, Play Store/Motorola/Amazon Prime are all good choices as well as from your carrier. Swappa may not have new devices, but used devices.

32GB/64GB based on your needs. 32GB is enough for me.

Midnight/Cloud White... up to you, depending what color you want you might have to get it from a particular store.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonebeatz1234:
This phone has a few flaws and if you can live with them by all mean get this device. Every phone has it's flaws but for me I can't live with the ones on this device and will be selling mine this Friday . I'll start using my g3 or note 3 again until the note 5 or g4 comes out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antebios:
What are your problems with the Nexus 6 that is forcing you to find greener pastures?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antebios:
Well, I'm typing this from my very own Nexus 6, White 32 GB!!! I got on Swappa this afternoon and found a mint condition phone and in my city. We met up and it was 100% defect free, and I saved a lot of money. It's still on 5.0.1, but I'm going to manually update it within the hour.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] XploD.GER:
Does anybody know if its possible to write a virtual keyboard driver which takes its "keystrokes" from a network stream?

I think about a windows (or MacOS or Linux ... ) application which sends the keys typed in a textfield or similar via TCP/IP to the PDA.

The PDA should take these keystrokes and send them to the application in the foreground.

In Window, I would need a self writen driver (writen in the MS driver development center) to simulate a complete keyboard. What about Windows Mobile? Can the compact framework do something like this even if the programm is not in the main focus?

cu

Dirk
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
You can not write drivers for Window Mobile in CF, in fact as far as I know you can not write drivers at all in .NET, they have to be written in native code.

But I think that for your purpose drivers are not relevant. In fact, i wouldn't use a 'fake' driver approach for desktop either. It is over complicating matters.

All you need to do is create a small and simple server (should be easy to do in .NET) that will listen to the network and generate keyboard events. It does not have to be an actual keyboard driver or SIP.

Now I am not sure about CF but there is a Win32 API that applies to both desktop and mobile versions: keybd_event()

You can use it to simulate keyboard input from within any kind of app without worrying what application or control currently has focus.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] XploD.GER:
Thanks!

My sample applications works already. I am able to send single keystrokes via TCP. Now I have to think about usabilty and debugging :D

The next step will be to implement some kind of protocol to send the exact keystroke representation to the PDA...

cu

Dirk
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] XploD.GER:
Due to this tiny transfer protocol everythink works like if the keyboard would be directly connected. All I have to do is implement special characters like @, €, ...

I think I will publish it open source under GPL. But I need responses if anybody needs functions not contained by my little programm...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] bemymonkey:
Hmmm... how about making this work the other way around? I'd love to be able to send keystrokes to my computer from my Pocket PC (for remote controlling Winamp, for instance - all the WLAN Winamp remotes available are either ****e or lack a seek function...).
[LG G Watch] ykphuah:
I tried googling but couldn't find any results.

I like the Silent Connected Phone feature because it prevent my phone from ringing when I am already wearing my watch. The problem is, when I got home, and I put my watch on the table or charger, then when I call come in, my phone will not ring as well, and both my watch and phone will just vibrate.

Is there a way for the watch to detect that its not on my hand (I noticed that sometimes the display goes blank), and then disable the silent mode on my phone?

Or is there an app or workaround that can do this?

Thanks in advance!

so lately even when switching roms and even going back to stock rom the wifi has become flaky, working when it wants to sometimes not even finding a network when it is searching. any ideas on what might be the problem?

hi

Your model is a d400, d400h or d400hn?. I have the same problem with the wifi
[LG Optimus L90] lfom:
If going back to stock it is still the same after a factory reset (deletes all data, backup first) and with different routes then it's a hardware issue, no matter what model you have.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzak1:
Hey , I recently got an HTC One M8 Verizon but I use Tmobile ... Anyways to cut to the chase I used Sunshine to get S_OFF and TWRP recovery and was testing a couple of ROMs. The latest one I got is the ViperOne because Cm12 was too buggy and I like Sense , my problem is that even after changing my CID to superCiD I still get no data and when I switch to Global Mode and choose Tmobile I get LTE for 5 seconds then the SIM restarts and goes to CDMA with no connection. I have been looking around Google and XDA to find a solution to this problem but no tutorial or anything popped up . I don't know if I should change the RUU to a Tmobile /unlocked dev/ GPE or change my MID or whatever. Please help me and let me know if you need more info. Thanks lots and lots.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
Hello :)

This thread will be moved to the HTC One (M8) Q&A subforum for better assistance.

Cheers,

Quasar.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You bought the wrong M8 version to use on T-Mobile. It doesn't appear that the Verizon version has the AWS band to get HSPA data on T-Mobile. T-Mobile also uses 1900 MHz for HSPA in some areas, but those markets are pretty limited. Also, the Verizon version only has 1 of the 3 LTE bands that are used by T-Mobile.

The other kicker, is that on GSM versions of the M8, the band support can be changed by flashing another (in this case T-Mobile) radio (s-off required). But unfortunately, you can't flash a T-Mobile radio to the Verizon CDMA version, as the hardware is actually different. Same goes for T-Mobile RUU.

You should return this phone if possible. I don't think there is much you can do to remedy the situation.

Did you try entering the T-Mobile APN? The following user seems to have had at least some limited success getting HSPA data on T-Mobile with the Verizon M8 (my guess is that he is in a 1900 MHz market):

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/help/verizon-htc-m8-t-mobile-t2977695

Searching the forums, I didn't find much other user info regarding using the VZN M8 on T-Mobile.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzak1:
That is weird because I actually get pretty good LTE on Liquid Smooth ROM so I know that it is capable of getting it. It was just that the ROM was crashing for some reason. I am going to look at the link you provided and also try the LolliGPE ROM as someone suggested to me. I will get back to you whenever I do all of this. Thanks for the help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzak1:
Hey, I got the LolliGPE and LTE is working fine but I get android.process.media has stopped every 30 seconds (I don't know why) and I can't access gallery. I wanted to upload a screenshot but you see where this is going. Please let me know if you know any solution to this. Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzak1:
Seems like I got it working for now. yay
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Its not that weird. If the ROM isn't meant for T-Mobile, there is any number of things in the ROM itself that might not play well with their network.

As mentioned before, according to the posted specs, the Verizon M8 is missing some of the bands needed to work on T-Mobile, both for LTE and HSPA. So it might work where you are now, but you might stop getting data once you travel to a location where they use different bands for data.

Honestly, this isn't the right version to be using on T-Mobile. Switching carrier and trying to migrate your phone over is one thing. But it sounds like you just recently bought the phone specifically to use on T-Mobile. If so, its my recommendation to see if you can return the phone, if that is possible.

Much appreciate this awesome guide, cool I was first to reply on g+ and here lol, great writeup bro. This is great news for the t989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ricthot:
Hey thank you soooooooooo much for this, you just fixed a major headach I had with my trusty old T989D....

Everything went almost perfectly smooth following your instructions, the only thing I had trouble with was re-formatting the partitions... it kept giving me "Invalid Partition" when clicking on Repair or Change File System. I had to reboot to Recovery twice before I was able to re-format them.

The only thing missing in the following step is the actual selection of the partition you want to fix (in red below) ;)

"Wipe" --> "Advanced Wipe" --> "Select partitions to reformat" --> "Repair or Change File System" --> "Change File System" --> "EXT4"

Thanks again for the tutorial! Working great !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ricthot:
Ok - I'm having issues... ;)

Since I did the repartition, I'm having a hard time with apps writing to the internal data partition.

I did try to fix permission, did not help.

One example is Swiftkey, not being able to save language packs to storage. I tried restoring from a Titanium backup instead and although the app itself works, its unable to load the language packs that were working before the repartitioning...

The stock rom camera is also unable to store pictures to the internal storage, it prompts to insert an SD card when rtying to set the storage to Internal SD.....

-- EDIT -- EDIT -- EDIT -- EDIT --

Something probably went wrong when I reformatted the partitions, I re-formatted everything again, fixed permission and it seems to be working fine now.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raptor170:
Ricthot did u clean install or restore a nandroid from your external sd
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lorien_Silmaril:
Hey there ricthot! A few questions:

What did you change in your .pit file? I need to know if you changed any partition size other than the /data and /sdcard partitions (I probably should have included a warning, but I did try increasing the sizes of /system and /cache partitions, and that resulted in a bunch of issues. If you did something similar, that may have been the cause of the problem). That's why the guide only mentioned changing the size of the /data partition.

What recovery are you using, and what version? I used Chet's custom TWRP (which supports F2FS) - if you suspect something went wrong during your partition formats, may be give this recovery a try: http://uber.oceighty.co/HERCULES/TWRP/download.php?file=TWRP_2.8.1.0_Hercules_F2FS_Red.zip

BTW I just noticed your phone model is the T989D - not sure if that had anything to do with your errors or not (it may have been better if you grabbed a .pit file specific to the T989D device; I am not sure if there are any differences, but it could be possible considering how big the difference was between the T989 .pit file and the I9100 version).

Glad you managed to sort it out in the end though. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ricthot:
Hi,

I used the provided modified PIT file.

Using TWRP 2.8.4.0

I probably did something wrong the first time... Everything went back to normal after I reformatted everything carefully...

Cheers!

Well my phone's a dud now. Tried this, and it failed in odin. Now I just keep getting an error saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue." Trying to see if recovery mode in Kies will help, but i have feeling it ain't. Device ain't getting recognized. I wanna say Odin can probably flash a stock rom, but i'm wondering if the partition was tampered at all when it failed.

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Yea Odin ain't fixing it. Not sure what I can do to get it going again. dam there goes my 5 year old t989 :c lol..:crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] arusiasotto:
It should be mentioned that this is very dangerous. There is a reason most of our Rom developers work with virtual partitions instead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Gekko.Shadow:
I kept messing with it once I got home, I have a small collection of stock roms I've kept over the years. The one I downloaded while @ work was not stock (and very unstable) so it didn't help at all. Secondly, the USB cable I was using was crap. I was able to wipe it back to ICS stock and worked back up. Re-ran the pit. and I wanna say it worked, I can't tell where the 8GB went, but it went somewhere. Have not tested lollipop yet, running Slim's 4.4.4. with full gapps. The only partition that comes up in TWRP is 'preload' missing. My t989 lives again! whooop! Dam little sucker refuses to give out on me, GS2 FTW! lol :victory::victory:

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

And I just did another format & wipe on partitions. Still can't fix 'preload' but I can now see the 8GB on Data, and the 5GB on Internal Sdcard. Good enough for me lol. Whoop whoop! It works! ;D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lorien_Silmaril:
A bit more info would help - did ODIN fail during re-partition? Did it throw an error?

Regarding the Preload being missing, you said it doesn't even show up in TWRP? Did you use my modified .pit file or did you make your own? Preload is only used by the stock ROM, thankfully most custom ROMs don't use it. But you might want to fix that if you ever plan on running stock again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Gekko.Shadow:
Sorry, I did give me an error - but I can't recall exactly what it was exactly. I would re-create the issue but I tossed the defective USB cable (janitors take out the trash overnight so It's long gone lol). When I used a different USB once I got home, I didn't get the same issues anymore. I was able to get ODIN to work.

But essentially, I ran ODIN 3.10 - and It would just hang after "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)" but not progress.

So I tried ODIN 3.7, and It would start running:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1005)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

(succeed 0 / failed 1)

Then would just fail. But once I got home, It didn't give me any more errors on ODIN. After I got it to stock, all the errors were on TWRP. Which is where I fixed the partitions, then flashed the .pit (your modified pit file, I did not modify it myself) and went back into TWRP and fixed partitions again. Did two clean installs, and everything cleared up.

Sorry, when I say 'Preload' is the only one missing, I meant 'Preload' was the only partition it fails to mount - TWRP can see it, but cannot mount it, even though I've fixed every partition twice now. It doesn't really bother me though - I can live without it lol.

I assume that If needed i can flash the "unmodified" pit to reset partitions to stock and flash a stock rom, correct? I've been able to bring this puppy back from the dead so many times - It's incredible. I only ever used stock roms when I really mess it up or need a full clean reset. Which is rare. Until yesterday lol. Before that the last time I ran stock was for an unstable ROM with a virtual partition back in 2011-2012 lol.

I may do another full wipe - just for an extra clean start - but rom has been running fine since last night. So I think everything is good. Well the exclusion of one app that gets stuck laoding static data. Not sure If it's the rom, or the partition affecting it - so I'll probably test another rom out before giving it another go.

Thanks though! Feels alot more roomy now - hardly use the internal space since everything is on a 64gb microsd lol. GS2 FTW! :highfive:
