[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpanos:
It depends on your preferences. Do you root, use custom roms etc? Is price a factor? In comparison to the nexus 4 it is an upgrade in all aspects.

Regarding your questions, there are no performance issues, the nexus 5 is a beast. It is faster than all other nexus devices nexus 4, 7, 7 (2013), with the exception of the nexus 6. Better screen, better camera and relatively better battery than the nexus 4. I get 3 to 4 hours of sot on 3g and 4 hours+ sot on WiFi (stock lollipop 5.1). In comparison, the nexus 4 would be dead in a couple of hours on 3g.

On the other hand, if software updates are not critical for you, there are other good value for money phones, like the lg g2, g3, sony z3 compact and motox 2. All these phones cost 350 euro or lower in my country, each with plusses and minuses.

Personally, I went from a nexus 4 to a nexus 5 recently and I don't regret it one bit.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argarash:
Hello,

i have a huge problem with my Blackview Ultra Chinaphone (MTK 6582). I managed to make all necessary backups with MTK Droidtools and i manages to install a custom recovery (TWRP latest version) which wasn't easy because the recovery screen was flipped and the touch screen inverted but i have a flipped recovery with proper working touch now.

My problem is that i am unable to boot into recovery via the hardware buttons. When i press powerbutton+volume down button some chinese menu appers. When i press powerbutton+volume up button (which you press to get into recovery with most chinaphones) a menu appers where i get 3 options and it says "volume down-button is OK". When i navigate to the "recovery" option with the volume up-button and want to confirm it with the volume down-button nothing happens. the button works when fully booted so it can't be a hardware defect. i have to press powerbutton+volume up (the cursor starts to jump between options) until the phone boots normally. the recovery works, because when i boot into it (with rom manager for example) everything works fine. i want to try out a few roms so it is essential for me to be able to boot into recovery with the buttons in case i damage something while flashing.

i would be so glad if anyone could help me :) !

please excuse my english, it's not my native lenguage!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMORT3rnAL:
Hello,

I have a problem where tethering will not work on my phone. Connected devices will not receive an IP address and will instead use a self-assign IP address (169.x.x.x). This was tested with WIFI and USB.

With WIFI tethering active, I confirmed the WIFI IP address on my phone is 192.168.43.1. On a connected device, manually setting the network settings with that as the gateway address works.

Other information:

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500)

Android version: 5.0.1

Kernel: 3.4.5-3943544

ROM: Prism Barebone v14.6

Bootloader: I9500XXUHOA7

Baseband: I9500XXUHOA7

Notes:

- This is the first time I tried using tethering since flashing this ROM.

- I have not receive any response to the question on the ROM's thread.

- There is one other person on the thread with a tethering problem, but is seems to be unrelated.

I noticed v15 of the ROM was released, but I'm posting this for 3 reasons:

- Mobile data is expensive here, so I cannot download the new version now.

- I don't know whether the new version will actually fix this on my phone.

- I couldn't really find any valuable information about this, so it will save someone from having to ask this in the future (if they research first).

Thanks

I did a clean install of Prism Barebone v15 and updated the bootloader to XXUHOB8. It is still not working.

Hi,

my phone is under warranty Feb 2016 should i unlock boot loader? it will void warranty i think?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IreshS:
There isn't much reason to unlock boot loader specially since root is available on all firmwares.

If you really want to unlock the bootloader for some reason then you can always backup your TA partition and then Unlock bootloader. Then if you ever get the need for warranty you can flash the original FTF restore the TA backup. You will have your warranty back.

Thanks mate will try to install now the official 5.0.2 from sony

unlocking your bootloader grants freedom and easier at loss of your warranty and some xperia features

however staying locked lets you keep your warranty and xperia features but its generally annoying for me atleast

I want to know if it is possible to forward all Pc audio over bluetooth to the phone?

Basically I want to use the phone as a wireless audio link so I can walk around the house with access to my music on the pc. Also in the future, may want to set up the carpc in the same way.

Any info on this? The forum/google search picks up phone->other devices... never pc->phone.

Thanks
[Networking] Someone Walkin':
"to walk around the house...."

This may not be possible... unless I've gotten hold of completely the wrong end of the stick (which I hope I have), the range of the bluetooth on the pda is EXTREMELY short.. I understand that when streaming to bt headphones people are happy about getting a 50 cm range. o.O

EDIT... actually the bluetooth on the BA is supposed to be a class 2 device which according to specs is supposed to have a 5-10 m range... so I ammend my above statement by saying I'm not really sure.

Can someone confirm either way please.

Thx.
[Networking] spybld:
Pardon me, my 'house' is a 1 bedroom tiny apt. A 5-10 m range would more than suffice.

I've heard of bluetooth wireless headphones from logitech... these have a 33 ft range

http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4140375
[Networking] Someone Walkin':
As long as it's line of sight you should have no problems at all.. as for the range of the headphones.. it all comes down to the range of the pda.. which isn't very good. It turns out that the range of a bt network is better.. so the problem seems to lie with the audio gateway stacks. (which is a big problem)
[Networking] SetoK:
I don't think you'll be able to do it without a lot of work, (or maybe some 3rd party software) The first approach would be to use the bluetooth headset profile. But neither your phone or your pc has a headset profile. They proably both have audio gateways that can "support bluetooth headset profile" That is, they both want to play the role of the computer, and neither can play the role of the headset. Also, the audio would be narrow band and mono so it wouldn't sound that great.

You would want to have the advance audio distribution bluetooth profile. In order for it to work, one device would have to be the audio source and the other the audio sink. I suspect that neither supports this profile, but perhaps they do. Some newer phones do support it, and many usb dongles for PC's come with profile drivers, but even if you have both I suspect that both will be set up to to be the audio source. (windows before XP service pack 1 didn't support bluetooth at all)
[Networking] spybld:
Thanks I was worried about that... It doesn't seem that anyone has thought of this way of using BT and I doubt that there is software to do it out there. I may fiddle around with it later on... but maybe one of those bt headsets would be just fine!

-spy
[Networking] CameoTabby:
Maybe it is not the solution you are looking for, but why don't you consider using WiFi instead. It's easier to configure, better sound quality, and you can setup as Ad-Hoc if you do not use WiFi AP.

I am doing this in the house and the media pc in my car. It works out just great.
[Networking] spybld:
Thanks I'm looking into it...

Any recommendations on cheap but good wifi cards?
[Networking] Lancealot:
Any wifi card from Circuit City / Best Buy will do. All you do is set up an ad-hoc network, install Orb to your PC and you'll be able to browse your media collection on your phone while you walk around. If you're just gonna be in your house/apartment and wanna stream music to your stereo bluetooth headphones, you could just pick up the Motorola DC800 which I've been raving about since day one. I can stream music from my laptop to my headphones and it sounds great no matter what floor of my house I'm in.. the only downside is that I have to create a playlist before I leave my laptop because you can't control what you listen to from the headphones unless you use your phone and Pocket Player with the WM plugin. Hope that helps!

I have search in XDA with no results. I have a Moto X (2012) XT1060 standar version 16GB [Carrier VZW]. I request for a bootloader unlock in motorola's webpage but this model is not listed. I tried using WinDroid and the page said that this device can't be unlocked.

Remember this is not a Developer Edition, it's a 16GB version unlocked band to any carrier, it was from VZW.

And is not only me, many users have the same problem, they can't unlock their devices.

Why? and is there a solution... How?

Thank you for you attention.
[Moto X Q&A] cntryby429:
You can thank big "v" for that. They, along with att I believe, restrict Motorola from giving out the bootloader unlock codes. Mind you that's different from a phone being "carrier unlocked." With the China middleman mia, your only current option is to try and use sunshine 2.0. If that doesn't work then you will have to wait for sunshine 3.0 which is said to be released "soon" but don't ask what exactly that means. In the meantime, don't update to official lollipop should it be released before sunshine.

[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
4.4.3 on a Verizon XT1060? I think that is a typo.

THe Verizon XT1060 never had 4.4.3, only 4.4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4, and then the couple of 4.2.2 versions.

If you have 4.4.4 Sunshine likely wont work.

If you have 4.4.2 and have never upgraded to 4.4.4, then Sunshine should do the trick.
