[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diggmc:
UPDATE:40 Minutes with Google Tech support (and colour me impressed, they know there stuff) unfortunately, for some reason my Gmail account locked my N6's IMEI out (even though dashboard/account settings/recent devices/nexus 6 showed otherwise, there was no remove device option which suprised the tech). Solution: they're sending a new phone.

Hi Folks,

I've been driving Nexus devices since the Nexus S days and am quite familiar with using adb/fastboot from the command line and have been flashing roms ever since. However I've run into a problem that I can seem to figure out.

This morning I was cleaning up my google account with dashboard. In the device section I noted all my old Nexus phones that I no long use and one device that I couldn't identify (Galaxy Note, SAMSUNG-SM-N900A), and so took Google's advice and immediately changed my password and de-registered all the devices (that I could).

Now this evening, I decided to re-flash (method #2) with LMY47E, and here's where the trouble began.

Lollipop 5.1 new security requires you re-authenticate the phone with the previous registered email account, however I'm stuck in a loop at this point.

I know the (new) password is correct, because if I try the old one I'm informed immediately that the password is incorrect. Entering the new password, it goes off say "One moment..." and after a few moments, then looping back to re-enter my email address again. I'm using the same email address (my playstore address) and it make no difference if I'm on mobile data or my home wifi network.

Now on Google Playstore, it shows all my old Nexus devices, including this unknown Galaxy Note (note: all are set to be visible). And in Google dashboard, under manage active devices, I only see my Nexus 5 and this unknown Galaxy Note neither of which can be located. If I expand the android device section in dashboard to see the following 7 devices info displayed:

And so really am in need of some sage advice as to what to do or try here?

As it stands now, I own an $900 brick that can only ask you two questions.

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up. Yes I did get the problem resolved. Google sent me a new phone. In hind sight it appears that the rep I was dealing with was unaware of the 72 hour lock out procedure, of course neither was I ?

Still hopeful the word gets out about this so more people don't fall into the same annoying trap.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solynth:
I'm having a lot of issues with playing music in my car. I drive 1.5 hours a day to work and I really want to be able to listen to music through my phone but it's getting increasingly frustrating.

I have a D855K

Android version 5.0

Kernel version 3.4.0

Software V20f-505-01

I used to have a Samsung S2 and I'd have it connected via bluetooth to my car head unit which is a Sony WXGT90BT . This worked fine with my S2. With my G3 I've had a lot of issues. The audio will cut out randomly, sometimes this will happen every 5-10 seconds, and sometimes it will be once a minute or so. It usually cuts out for 1 second, but it's very frustrating when the music is constantly being interrupted.

I decided to try using an aux cable instead of bluetooth, but there were even more problems with this. The slightest bump on the road would cause the cable to move and open up Voice Mate. I tried disabling it under apps, but it would still pop up so I rooted my phone, bought Titanium Backup and froze the app. This stopped Voice Mate from popping up, but now whenever the cable moves it skips the track, going to the next one or goes back a track or pauses the music. Sometimes it opens up Google Voice Dialer, or Google Voice Search. I have none of these issues with earphones. I have also tried multiple aux cables all with the same issues.

I should also mention that I'm using Power Amp Pro as my music player. This is the same one I had on my S2. I'm not sure how it's changing songs when the aux cable is moved.

I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue, so I thought I'd check here first before sending my phone away. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
Bluetooth issues are fixed in 20H firmware. D855 firmware should be compatible with D855K, though i don't know for sure.

Jack being detected as handsfree is an unfixable hardware issue, it stems from LG's jack detection algorithm. I guess the most we can do is mod the software so it always thinks that only headphones are plugged in...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solynth:
Thanks for the reply.

Since it's rooted I can try updating to 20H to see if it fixes the bluetooth issues.

As for the Jack, I don't like the sound of unfixable... If I can get bluetooth working though then it doesn't matter too much. The longer the phone is out the closer we'll be to getting a fix, so hopefully it does eventually get fixed.

I'll Add Some Of My Findings Here As Well...

Camera sounds annoy me and I couldn't find any tweak, app, or anything to disable them on the LG's Camera, so I figured it out myself. I have wrote a guide and included a .zip with the files you need to switch.

- How to disable your LG Camera Sounds -

Found by high247 of XDA-Developers for the Virgin Mobile LG Tribute LG660.

-# 01. You are going to need to be ROOTED on your phone and have a Root Explorer. I personally use Root Browser from the Play Store.

And you'll need the .ogg files from this .zip file.

I've you are not ROOTED please check Unjustified Dev's guide here on how to do so.

Here: http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

-# 02. First move the .ogg files from this .zip to your phones SDcard.

cam_snap_0.ogg

camera_click.ogg

camstart.ogg

camstop.ogg

VideoRecord.ogg

(I've included backups of all the orginal .ogg's in Backup-ogg in the .zip. Just delete the .bak off the end and they are the orginal files in case you want to switch back.)

-# 03. Ok now on to disableing the sounds on your phones Camera (For whatever reasons you might what to do so. For me, they just annoy me)

Open your Root Explorer and go to your SDcard and multi-copy the .ogg's you put there.

Now navigate to System folder, click that,

now locate the Media folder, click that,

now locate the Audio folder, click that,

now locate the UI folder, click that, then once inside the UI folder click PASTE to copy the files there. It might be useful to delete the old ones before hand.

-# 04. Almost done, now you have to change the to .ogg file permissions to 0644 rw-r--r--

(If your not good with permissions, when you select permissions just make sure Read is checked in every box and Write is only checked on Owner, everything else unchecked.)

-# 05. ALL DONE. No need to reboot or anything, just go to your Camera and see that the annoying sounds are gone.

ENJOY!

What to Change that ugly color on your default LG Messaging App?

You need to install Xposed Framework on your rooted LS660/F60

1. Here is the Xposed Framework installer you need for G3 Tweakbox to work: http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk

2. Now download G3 Tweakbox from the Play Store and install it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...weaksbox&hl=en

3. Open Xposed Framework installer make sure the Xposed Framework is installed up to date and and then make sure you check the module for G3 Tweakbox and reboot your device before anything will work.

4. Now open G3 Tweakbox app, go to Messaging, scroll all the way to the bottom and you can change the color.

5. After you make changes Reboot your phone for them to take full effect. My messaging app now is Black.

And in this post I show what else I found that worked with G3 Tweakbox on the LS660, even some pictures : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59451127&postcount=766

NOTE: Not all tweak work. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You were on ZV4 right? I believe you have to flash the boot.img for ZV4 from TWRP and that will fix it. You might have to flash from fastboot though I forget, its almost 3am here and its been a long day.

Extract the boot.img from this .zip and try that.

Ok so for whatever reason I just could not get the damn OTA updates to stop re-downloading, even after doing what cpshelley2 said to do. My problem was update.zip kept re-downloading to /cache/ and then the notification would pop up to install. I ran the adb command cpshelley2 suggested and turned OTA off, made sure the update.zip was deleted, long pressed the notification clicked app info went to manager cleared all.

And it would just keep downloading over and over again, giving me the notification to install over and over again, so what I found was apps named

Disable Service and Autorun Manager

on the play store, they are free and for root, that fixed this for me.

DisableSevice Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en

AutorunManager Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&hl=en

**WARNING DO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE CHECKING AND UNCHECKING IN THESE PROGRAMS YOU COULD MESS SOMETHING UP!***

Open the Disable Services app, click where it says System near the top, then scroll down to Google Play services, click it, now scroll down almost all the way near the bottom and find SystemUpdateService then uncheck it will turn red.

Now open Autorun Manager and select Advance Mode, then in the top right click Settings, make sure Show System Entries and Enable System App Disable are both Checked, now find Google Play Services, click it to see a list of receivers, scroll down til you find com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver and com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver and com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$SecertCodeReceiver ,then un-check them.

Now your done.

Reboot phone and update.zip will stop downloading in /cache/ (**delete it one last time if it is there still**) and you will stop being notified about the ZV5 update.

Hope that helps someone else too. Any questions feel free to ask and remember I'm on the LG LS660 Virgin Mobile.

So ever since the ZV5 update came out I've had a problem because I could not update and am stuck on ZV4 at this time.

The problem was SystemUpdateService wake locking after I reboot everytime, even though I have all the receivers disabled, services disable, anything fota update related disabled, any update activity disabled, and everything else possible to disable SystemUpdateService, but some how whenever I would reboot I would get a SystemUpdateService started up running draining battery life.

I had found a quick fix to stop it by using MyAndroidTools and just reactivating the SystemUpdateService activity and then just disabling it again, then it would stop wake locking.

Well now I have finally found a way to stop it wake locking all together.

You need Xposed Framework installed and then download Wakelock Terminator module. Enable the module and reboot, the in Wakelock Terminator find Google Play Services and add SystemUpdateService to the disable list. BOOM FIXED!

No more SystemUpdateService wakelock on reboot 100%

For info on how to disable the receivers please refer to post #9 in this thread.

Hope this helps someone like it has helped me greatly! :)

I saw a few people asking for a backup of stock Boost ROM. I haven't began the process yet so I thought maybe I could help them out? Going to factory reset before I root and flash TWRP. Do I back up the recovery/sys/ and boot through ADB? Regardless imma do a full back up in TWRP, but I'm unsure what im supposed to upload and share. I also want to be safe and dont know if my info will be exposed (about phone/status) so I want to get pointed to the right direction.
