[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baalinooo:
Same problem here, but worse.

When the screen went black during the call, the phone shut down, and has been misbehaving ever since, I've still not been able to unlock it fully. I suspect the Device Protection feature of 5.1 (anti-theft) to be the cause of the problem... :(

Images of problem: http://imgur.com/a/cizWc

Any idea of what I should do?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
I used Skinomi Tech Tempered Glass ultra thin, it was rated well. It did cover the sensor, but like I said, never had an issue on 5.0 and and once I took it off, worked like a charm. You have a suggestion for a good tempered glass protector?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
Dang man, that's way past my "take the screen protector off" fix. I'm thinking you have a more complex issue. Were you unlocked and rooted? Custom rom or kernel? The allow oem unlock checked in dev settings? Can you do a full wipe and step through the flash process in fastboot?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baalinooo:
Completely stock. I found a workaround. Remove the SIM card before powering-up. This time I am first asked to draw my unlock pattern, as it is supposed to do. Then, let the phone boot to my homescreen and then only I replace the SIM card. I am asked for my PIN et voilà.

I think the new anti-theft feature is indeed at fault. It is somehow overridden by the PIN request. Oh well, at least my phone works now :)

Regarding the screen proximity sensor problem.

Do you think a deliberately smaller tempered glass screen protector would work?

http://www.amazon.com/Orzly®-Tempered-Protective-Protector-SmartPhone/dp/B00ORYY4IO

Where is the sensor located on the screen? Between the camera and top speaker?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmanaka:
I've been using a Zagg GSP with the same problems... So far removing it has been my only fix. Didn't have problems before 5.1 even with some haloing!

I think the proximity sensor is to the left of the top speaker. If you hold the phone just right in the light you can see two little dots under the glass.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitNotFound:
You should call Zagg at 18007009244 . I just called and they said that it was the first reported case, and that if enough people called in, they would investigate. They also said that you can remove the existing screen protector, use some other one, and just get a warranty replacement if/when a new Zagg GSP comes out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxsanioutlawxx:
Xtremeguard fixed this issue in their spartan glass. They also fixed the "halo-ing" issue many protectors have. They made cutouts for the camera and sensors. I'll post pics once I get home. I encountered OPs glitch with the original spartan glass I had (1st gen?).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxsanioutlawxx:
Hey man, as I suggested, try xtremeguard. Here are some pics and they have cutouts for the camera and sensors. They usually have sales; don't buy it regular price, its ridiculous! Here's a code I found that works if you purchase two items: Spring90

Or if you want just one, use 75off

I just use their glass protectors on all my devices and I've had good experiences with them. They now ship their glass in a hard plastic case; less chances of breaking. Pictures attached!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drscott333:
Is this issue really just limited to people with screen protectors? I have the Zagg HDX and am having this same problem. I really don't want to replace my screen protector and don't want to have to go back to a non 5.1 ROM. Unfortunately I do spend a lot of time making phone calls at work and need to dial extensions which I'm unable to do because of this.

Are there any kind of Kernel modifications or system settings that can be adjusted to fix the issue?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxsanioutlawxx:
Yes it really is. I had the problem on my Nexus 4 with a protector so I made sure to buy a protector with cutouts on my Nexus 5. I thought they would have fixed it on the Nexus 6, although it is still very sensitive. I had the problem with a full glass protector and my screen would stay off during a call even after using the power button. So I emailed xtremeguard and fortunately they modified their guard to have cutouts for the sensors as you can see in the pics I posted on the last page.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasdw:
Same behavior with Skinomi tempered glass protector. Took it off and the phone works fine.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
There was some talk about an issue with the sensors and 5.1 causing the issue also, but it seemed it was a small minority that had this issue. As far as I know, you have to bite the bullet and peel off the protector. I tried 3 different kernels and 3 different roms and nothing at all worked. The good news is they have plenty of cheap alternatives that have the cut-outs. Good luck.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redthat_X1_Z1:
Skinomi is aware of the issue. I wasn't sure what was causing it until i found this thread. Removed my protector and problem was fixed. It looks like Skinomi is aware of the issue though, contacted them and got a replacement since i had removed my glass protector. The replacement glass no longer covers the sensor.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u4atharva:
No need to remove your screen protector. Just head to Accessibility--> Turn on 'Power Button ends call' and Boom!

I too had the same problem just after upgrading to 5.1

Tried this and it works like a charm. No issues till now. I hear that 5.1 messed the sensitivity of the proximity sensors. But lucky enough for us, 5.1.1 has a patch to fix this issue. Till you get an update for 5.1.1 just keep enabled Power Button ends call, and you'll be just fine. No need to spoil your completely alright $20 screen protector ;)

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacj12:
The only thing that worked for me !

Hi,

I empathize with you. I found myself buying a Nexus 5 in India in 2013 with a lot of excitement and the same happened after upgrading to lollipop and then marshmallow. I removed am imported tempered glass screen protector and that didn't work. Next, I downgraded to KitKat 4.4.4 and that didn't work. Google's product forum was a waste of time. Their rep said the same things: remove the screen protector, clear cache and finally do a factory data reset. I'm not from a technical background and after saying prayers which I said only in my childhood, the below is what finally what worked for me:

1) Downgraded to KitKat 4.4.4. I have a MacBook so used this YouTube link:

https://youtu.be/pzzDxrccZO8

2) Rooted my device using King root. Link:

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

2) Installed Xposed framework. Link:

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

3) Disabled the proximity sensor from Xposed framework. This YouTube link helped:

https://youtu.be/hPRujBMeuz0

Hallelujah ! I can see my screen again when making calls. Like I said, I'm from a human resources background and literally prayed like Armageddon had just started before doing all the above. I can't guarantee if these will brick your phone or put it in some perpetual bootloop mode, so do it at your own risk ! Started believing strongly in God but disbelieving in Android after this whole bloody experience.

Cheers !:good:

OK, I know that most people use the X for a pure, unmodified version of Android. I respect that. I believe that too, but if I could squeeze just a tiny bit more performance out of this device, it would be great. Is anyone here experienced with kernel development and wants to help develop a kernel for our beloved device?

[HTC One Max] MajeAdams17:
First of all, let me say that I am not very experienced with this sort of thing.

A few months ago, I got a Verizon One Max and was able to change a code to get it to work on T-Mobile. I also was able to S-OFF and root it (after quite an ordeal). Now, I had a Samsung Galaxy S III before and found it super easy to install TWRP and flash Cyanogen, and I loved it. It took foreeeever to get install TWRP on my One Max, but it can never flash anything successfully. It ends up just plain factory resetting. Luckily, when it does, it stays rooted, S-OFF, and working on T-Mobile, but I've tried 3 different versions of TWRP to no avail. Could somebody please help me out? I've been enjoying this phone the past 6 months, but I really miss Cyanogen.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toekneetwo:
Hey guys,

Not sure if this forum is an appropriate place for general discussion/questions.... feel free to tell me to move along if it isn't. :)

I'm considering switching back to 4.4.2.... this 5.0 update has been less-than-stellar, in my opinion. I've got tons of issues with it, but probably the biggest is a very poor battery life.... the thing uses up all my RAM, and I'm lucky if I get a full day out of it. Also, it's very slow to respond at times, the auto-brightness feature doesn't work properly, as well as the known issues with 5.0 (the "missing" silent feature, for example.)

My question is: is everyone else having this experience, too? Or could I have had a bad install of 5.0? The ROM (I believe that's the right word... I am a n00b here, but I'm a quick study) I used was the G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM... Have there been any issues with this ROM, not related to 5.0? I'd love some opinions on this.

Thanks!

Tony

Oh, and P.S.-- I'm not sure if 5.0.2 fixes any of these issues... if you guys could comment on that, I'd appreciate it too. Thanks again.

I messed with lollipop some. MOAR is a ROM you should try if you stay with lollipop. I'm sticking with 4.4.4. More theme friendly and stable in my opinion. Lollipop seems too buggy to me and I don't like the colors.

Is there any way to downgrade, and turn off the harassment from Google to upgrade?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
Sometimes that will stop when you run a custom ROM. I'm running Ricks ROM. There is also a file you can freeze with titanium backup that will stop it. SDM or something like that. You have to get the paid version in order to freeze apps.

Edit: app is called Samsung software updates. You could also use root explorer and find that same app in your system/priv-app folder and rename it (put .bak on the end of it).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctordangles:
titanium backup pro ( you can find a pirate for free) though i dont condone ;)

freeze: SDM 1.0

no more system updates , if you change your mind unfreeze it and the updates option will reappear in your settings list
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopstix9:
I echo his advice. Just buy Tibu Pro Key from the play store and freeze it. It's not like it is expensive or anything, well worth a couple bux to be able to freeze all sorts of bloat ware actually.

After searching on the internet I found some apps and guides for moving data to sd card and just a few for moving to an usb stick using otg cable and after all I didn't get what I wanted.

But after trying a lot I finally did it and if you want to try just do follow the steps bellow.

(I did this on my moto x 2014 XT1097 runing lollipop 5.0)

[ROOT REQUIRED]

Download Folder Mount from google play

Download GL to SD from google play

1) Plug your USB to your phone

2) Open GL to SD press the menu button and select move data.

3) Pick the game you want to move.

Here you should se a loading bar while the app moves the files to the USB stick

If that doesn't happen then go to system settings look for storage options and hit Unmount USB

Wait and mount the usb again and try step 2 and 3 again.

4) If everything goes as spected you should see your game and a blue button next to it saying "play"

5) Open Folder mount and create a new pair with the "+" button

6) Give a name to that pair and select the source and destination (Don't allow the app to move any data when it asks for it)

7) Save the pair and you'll se a gray pin on the right side, press it and it will become green.

8) Go back to GL to SD and you'll see the link button colored in blue.

Now you can play from your USB stick!

I did this with 2 games one with 250mb data and the other one with 2.5gb data, The one with 250mb was moved by GL to SD without trouble but the one with 2.5gb had to be move manually.

If you have any issues I'll try to help you just leave a coment.
[X 2014 General] t-dominique:
Can you please explain how you moved the 2.5gb app manually?

That's what the goal is actually, to move the really big data.

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] petervbeck:
me too, i'm also interested if garmin xt will work with the internal gps. i couldn't get it working on my artemis....would be great if someone knows a howto...
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] nkmnkm:
The problem with Garmin programs is that they look for Garmin formatted data stream from the GPS. The Artemis GPS provides a standard NMEA data stream. The only way to make Garmin work is to install a GPS port translation program, like GPSGate. It allows to direct the GPS output to a port the Garmin software will see and translate it to Garmin format. There is a freeware program that does the same, but at the moment I don't remember the name
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] palmbluetooth:
I used garmin 2.90 with GPSgate and internal GPS, but I wasn't able to do it with XT, I wish there is a way, but I'm not sure GPSgate can do it. Because as far as I know, GPSgate creates a virtual port for garmin with the secret no. that your gps sends to your device, but that's not possible with XT because it does not give you the option to change ports, it automatically searches your bluetooth port.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xavier2k3:
So I'll get this kicked off.

The Carphone Warehouse have now launched their pre-order for both new contracts and tariffs. The 128GB model is.....expensive. I'm looking to upgrade and I'm with EE but the contracts through CPW at least are astronomical and I'm not willing to part with so much money for the handset as well as a monthly amount. £229 up front then £46.99 is pretty expensive over two years. It does come with a wireless charger though.

Let's use this thread to share good deals and finds for the S6 edge. as well as availability nearer official launch date.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] MISSDIVA:
£229 upfront is beyond the joke, best to wait and let the silly prices come down. If Sammy had any marketing sense... the wireless charger should have been included in th box.

These early prices are interesting as I'm waiting for the Note 5,God knows that will be priced out of my league....
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] n1r0k:
Looks like the green is not being sold anywhere at the moment. I imagine it will be in short supply and high demand. I', waiting to see when it will be up for pre order on the Samsung website. Anyone seen any sim free deals yet?

If you have the cash it will be far cheaper to buy the phone SIM free and get a Sim only contract. I have all you can eat data on three for £13 a month ( I don't make too many calls)

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] crumble6:
I've been looking at the 32gb model, as I don't really need the extra storage. There's some fairly reasonable deals HERE.

I'm thinking about going for the £33.49pm tariff on EE - 4GB data (double speed 4G), unlimited calls and texts. Up front price is £103.99, which is quite high, but I think overall it's a fair deal. I'm gonna wait until I've seen the phone in-store on Sunday before I commit though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] isangelous:
I think I am going to preorder the 64GB model, probably on EE. I am leaning towards 20GB data because it works out only an extra £3/month over the 4GB, and I wouldnt have to pay as much upfront.

I am concerned that none of the major carriers, or carphone warehouse, or Samsung direct are listing a 32GB Edge. Only a few online retailers like the one you linked to are listing it - and it looks like all those sites are part of the same group. I am not convinced if you preorder a 32GB you will get one, at least not on launch day.
