[Galaxy Note 3 General] AndroidAssassin:
Safe for Rogers sm-n900w8 also now that it's unified correct
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hey_joe:
Yes. Just have to remove lots of bloatware.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] scotteb:
you wouldnt have to remove any bloatware if you do not want to as the rom only installs the carriers bloat, based on multi csc. rogers update is there too
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hey_joe:
It's the carriers bloat I am referring to since he's on Rogers, Bell's apps will be useless.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] scotteb:
[MENTION=3110350]hey_joe[/MENTION] thats what I mean, if its a rogers sim then no bell apps will be installed. if bell sim then bell apps. if telus sim then telus apps
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hey_joe:
That's actually wrong. I have a Rogers phone with Rogers sim and flashed the firmware yesterday and all Bell apps like Bell TV were installed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] scotteb:
i have never encountered it before as if you look inside the rom the csc's are there and should only install that one. I have a telus n3 on bell, used telus FW on prior revision and never once had a telus app but always had bell apps. Either way, there are only like 3 or 4 apps to remove. i would say download the rogers version and try that but they didnt release it yet... sorry maybe rogers csc not in this version. I am not using it, i just updated bootloader and modem, and back to n4 rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hey_joe:
Not sure either with this firmware for Rogers phone because I flashed the full firmware twice already and checked that my bootloader and baseband were updated but still can't make video recording work on my phone. It only works if I use a custom kernel from Civz.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] scotteb:
i had that problem before i update the bootloader, i had to use same kernel, i can even use pin unlock again without unmounting my sd since update and video recording works. did you do a full wipe after the flash, like after it flashes in odin, it will reboot to recovery and do its thing, then reboot to system. the key i found lately will these from canada is that you need to catch it before it boots to system and do a factory reset on it. (wipe system, cache and data and all is well)

that my experience with bells roms lately
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hey_joe:
I'll flash again and try that method.

Thanks

edit: Found the reason video wouldn't work. Somehow both my current binary and system status are custom and even wiping before flashing the official LP firmware wouldn't bring them back to Official so flashed back to 4.4.2 NB7 booted up then flashed to latest LP which fixed both statuses to Official. And now video recording works on official firmware. Now have to go back to N4 ported and see if it's fixed with Civz latest.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] farazmatin:
I have a Rogers Note 3. After flashing Camera does not work.

When you say catch it before it reboots after flashing? I did not catch it first time, so I should flash it again right.

It is working. I factory wiped it. Camera works in all its glory. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
When I watch any Netflix streaming video via Bluetooth stereo earphones, the audio lags behind the video by 200-300 ms (very noticeable when anyone's talking). The same Bluetooth earphones have no audio lag when I play videos that are on the phone itself, or when I stream from other services such as YouTube. Conversely, when I watch Netflix using the phone's speaker or using wired earphones, there is also no lag. The lag only occurs with Netflix and Bluetooth combined.

I don't recall whether I've tried Netflix via Bluetooth earphones before, so I don't know whether this problem predates the Lollipop upgrade.

Anyone else have this problem, or a solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
I'll test this tonight worth my Bluetooth headphones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Thanks. And I forgot to mention that I've tried the obvious fixes (clearing cache/data, reinstalling the Netflix app, re-pairing the BT earphones).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
Sounds good. I've not had any issues with 5.0.1 yet so if I run into a problem like yours then we'll have a bit more to go on.

Without being able to do it now I'll educate a guess that if I have the same problem then it's a netflix.apk issue over a Bluetooth protocol issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
No issues for me. Sorry buddy.

*I've tried netflix,hulu, amc, comedy central and Uverse and haven't had a latency on my headphones yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
When you took the update did you clear your cashe through recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Ok,, thanks for checking. For me, it only happens with Netflix and Bluetooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
No, maybe I'll try that. But I do see on various forums that many people, on various devices, have been having this same problem since 2012--a problem that's specific to the combination of Netflix and Bluetooth. Some people's Bluetooth headsets don't have the problem, though.

So I doubt it's related to Lollipop, but I may clear the cache just in case.

EDIT: Cleared the cache partition in recovery, didn't help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
Yeah, sounds like it's your headset and Netflix not liking eachother.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Could be. I tried a second BT headset and it had the same behavior. But it's conceivable that many kinds work with Netflix and many kinds don't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Apparently this is a known, longstanding problem with the Netflix app. See the following thread (especially chrispitude's detailed post):

http://androidforums.com/threads/sound-delay-when-watching-netflix.822226/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
I did a factory reset (wiping the cache from recovery both before and after), but I still get the Netflix Bluetooth lag. Oh well.

Netflix tech support says it's not their problem.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceorounak:
I recently bought htc desire 820, and am facing a this problem since the time i took it out from the box and booted it for the first time!! While running normal task like texting on watsapp or surfing web, the phone suddenly hands for 5-6 seconds then automatically restarts for no reason at all!! Please tell if my device is defective or there is some other software issue which can be solved!! Also i have checked my system update, it says it's up to date!!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taztdar:
Hey! I got shipped used soft bricked M7 today, fixed software, updated to ViperOne 8,0,0 and noticed that when i open my camera, only front camera works and it shows everything in highly saturated pink. Also - there is no option for rear camera.

Any advice?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Pink saturation is a weeeeeellllllll known issue. The solution is to replace the camera with the newer module. First model all had this issue caused by heat.

FOr the other camera its looks like its not detected to it probably another hardware problem. Maybe its not connected correctly or the module is dead.

Advice: send it for repair.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
I have been on the Nexus 6 since early December 2014, and for me, as with many others, the Nexus 6 was my entry point into the pure Google experience, and my simultaneous departure from TouchWiz. From the beginning, I was a noob on this device.

So, after 4 short months, I have found that the rom threads have become congested with endless questions that are not germane to the given rom. The more popular a rom becomes, the problem intensifies.

I can imagine how frustrating it must be for a developer whom has worked hard, flung his or her creation to the xda shadowed wilds, only to return to a thread that has become a thicket of repeated questions.

Compounding the problem is that each developer has a different approach as to how he or she wishes his or her thread to be managed, which in turn can be confusing to any user. Some developers seem happy to remain ensconced in the daily comments, while others have a palpable disdain for off-topic quotes.

Irrespective, I think each has a tipping point, and thus I am sure that none is immune from becoming a bit jaded after a time.

And yet, we still have the very real phenomenon that this device has a learning curve, is available across the globe, and thus the questions still recur. Further, it is in many people's natures to either want to help or at least be cautious prior to rooting their device, etc.

So, I thought it would be fitting to provide a place for all to ask whatever they want. As the title clearly states, this is a noob friendly place, so please feel free to ask whatever you would like about this device. I am certain that all here on these forums would rather you learn what you need prior to availing yourself of the amazing array of resources in the development and themes and apps sections of these forums.

A few preliminary guidelines for this thread:

This is a noob-friendly thread, so ask whatever you like

Read the initial posts of the rom thread, as well as the last 10 or so pages of that thread, before you flash the rom you want. It will give you an idea of how the developer handles his or her thread, the tools you need before you get started, and

Please respect your fellow forum members, developers, and the moderator staff. Moderators have a thankless job, and I can assure you that it is absolutely no fun spending hundreds of hours on what amounts to a volunteer position without benefits.

Towards that end, please read the rules; they are the first post on every forum here on xda.

Thank everyone that develops, and please donate to anyone whom you believe is worthy of your extra gratitude. Donations are never required, but they do motivate those that do the hard work on these forums.

Never downgrade your bootloader. Ever.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
2. Choosing a Rom: Roms generally fall into four discrete categories:

2.1: Stock-Based – these are hewn from Google source, and typically come preinstalled with everything you will need to be up-and-running. Whatever tweaks, performance or otherwise, are added, the rom will most certainly similar to stock, hopefully better than stock.

2.2: AOSP-Based – these are built from the Android Open Source Project, and purists may think of them as closer to what Google intended. You will typically need to flash a Google Apps (Gapps) package separately from the rom itself. Some of these have inline kernels, or stock kernels, but they typically have everything you need baked right into the mix. There is an incredible variety of unique and wonderful roms from which to choose that fall into this category.

2.3: Original Development – Although the lines tend to blur, suffice it to say that roms in Original Development contain something original that merits a rightful place of its own, away from the crowded Development Forum. You will find kernels as well as complete roms in this section.

2.4: Hybrids – The vast majority of roms fall into this category. Much of the joy of Android is customization, and most roms in this category are feature-rich and packed with things, almost more than you will ever use.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
Customization - Enhancing the Senses

Rom Customization:

Roms are popular and highly useful, but they are also fun. Instead of using a boring, stock phone laden with what amounts to another's idea of what you should have on your device, you are in control. This starts with how the phone looks. Yes, your phone can and should look exactly how you want it.

Disenthrall yourself from the madness that is a stock looking phone and apps, and stare with wonderment at beautifully themed apps.

1. Hard-Coded Themed Apps:

Anyone can run a themed app, even on a stock, rooted rom. These forums are riddled with themed app threads. Some suggestions to start:

1.1: Team BlackOut, the hardest working devs on xda are there, please go into their thread, enjoy the camaraderie and the beautiful apps they make. Be sure to thank and donate if you are so inclined. You will find themed versions of scores of apps, all available for free from their updater app.

1.2: XDA Recognized Themer [MENTION=4930664]cerj[/MENTION] has done a terrific job theming many apps on his own, and of course with the help of other themers. He is a terrific resource and a good friend. Check out his Blue DeLucia and Krome-X apps.

2. Theme Engine and Layers

Many Non-Stock Roms make use of one of these two basic tools that allow you to theme your entire phone. Suffice it to say that these are mutually exclusive means of attaining a beautifully themed rom without much hassle on your end. The CyanogenMod theme engine has its fans, and the fine devs doing the Layers app consider their work stellar (as they should); both are excellent.

2.1: Layers: If your ROM has Layers, and the app is not already on your phone, you'll need to download the free app from the Play Store. You'll find an abundance of themes in the Official MEGA RRO Layers Overlays Collection.

Special mention to one of the finest themers whom I've come to know on these forums; as RRO has had met the steep ramp-up with stunning strides, this terrific dev has been there, every step of the way.. [MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION], a tosser, wanker, and a very Gary dude, please help...I mean thank this man. He's everything and more. Please help me, inasmuch as I'm far more concerned about the degree to which I'm both a wanker, and a tosser, not to mention completely Gary.

2.2: Theme Engine: If your rom incorporates the CyanongenMod 12.0/12.1 Theme Engine, you can find a ton of beautiful themes in the Official MEGA CM12 Theme Engine Thread.

Please buy the themes you love. Free themes are terrific, but I always believe that people are more motivated to continue delivering these terrific tools if you support their hard work. Buy the damn themes, and don't be a cheapskate...there's enough whining in these forums to make most want to wretch.

If you need more posts added in or want to transfer a post ownership to another person, just let the mod team know (or you can hit me up as well). Anything to reduce the number of non-essential, non-logcat-attaching posts from the Dev threads is most assuredly welcomed.

Good job and keep up the good work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you're going to mention us "traditionalists" (its nothing to do with tradition) I think it only fair that you explain the reason why we dont recommend toolkits for the uninitiated [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], for balance ;)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
Toolkits, like a decrypted device, are a double edged sword. I have been screwed over by tool kits in the past but I've also been saved from doing something stupid. I do like tool kits that include a command line option and are verbose enough to show you exactly what they're doing. My $. 02

I do have a newbie question though. This is my first device without SD card. In the past I was never gun shy about doing anything because I knew worst case I could recover or at least have my install zips and titanium backup to rebuild . Now a days I am sometimes scared to wipe my pseudo SDcard. What are you folks doing to protect yourself? I have been saving off data to the PC before anything major but it seems like there should be a better way.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah i agree. That's why it should be a disclaimer rather than an order :)

I use folder sync as a plug in to Tasker.

Every time I close my camera app, I use bash shell to look for new files in DCIM and move them to a holding location. I then use folder sync under the same trigger, to open up an SFTP connection to my NAS at home and upload the photos immediately. There is one draw back though. I was taking 4k videos the other day and trying to push 1.5GB over sftp voa hspa is not good for battery, so I need to revise that one.

Also a run a times folder sync every couple of days syncing up my /sdcard with my NAS backup directory, over WiFi whilst I sleep.

Also every Saturday at 3am, my phone reboots, takes a nandroid then syn a that to my NAS too.

As you can imagine, I find it difficult to lose files :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micmars:
On the go storage, tiny little things, I know many themers, and rom devs, use the crap out if them.

I have seen these things sold at very reasonable prices, at brick-and-mortar retailers or online.

I personally back up my entire card to my computer on a weekly basis, and throw the entire thing into my Dropbox.

Let me start by saying thank you.. I recently purchased evo 3D, then flashed a nexus 6 ROM and recovery.. My question is, should my phone be this hot.. It's lethal it's so hot.. I'll wait for your trusted response..

Seriously, for all that know mic, he is a beacon of knowledge.. This thread will not only widen your vocabulary , it will contain a plethora of information and innuendo
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
your phones cpu can get to 100C. thats when itll automatically shut down/reboot to cool off. but try as hard as you can, i bet youll never reach it. anything below is normal, depending what you are doing. now you say hot, whats your cpu temp? as feel does not give you any temperature. all feel does is tell you if something is hotter than or cooler than your hand. and if your hand is cooler, itll make the phone feel much hotter. so, when talking about being too hot, we need an actual temp to go with it. i say that because many people report a hot device, when the temp is around 40C, when normal body temps average around 37C.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Absolutely will do - that's why I posted the little update last night. I gathered that you have been having this issue as well, just not as often - I imagine others may be having it and not even have noticed yet (many people basically strictly text). I'll be sure to keep you in the loop - if any new information about the issue comes your way or you just so happen to think of something in your own use, please do keep me posted as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooofest:
I may be misunderstanding your point, but wanted to add that I removed my SIM from a Motorola-store-bought Nexus 6 which was running on Verizon with 5.0.1, received the 5.1 "D" OTA update, then installed my Verizon SIM and still had service after rebooting.

Admittedly, I did decide to fastboot upgrade to "E" soon after, just to see if there was any noticeable difference on the network - nothing obvious that I could tell.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
We don't disagree. Some VZW users have had a problem when doing this. But there doesn't appear to be rhyme nor reason as to why.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Just had a thought.. this whole time I have been manually adding ATT Nextgenphone APN. AT&T is the only one of the four major US carriers that has yet to be assigned a designated OTA build as far as I know.. I wonder if it could be possible that an APN would be causing me issues. I never considered it as I've used ATT Nextgenphone since getting the phone, but as carrier-specific OTAs have rolled out the thought just came to me.. I am giving a shot to switching APNs back to ATT Phone to see if it fixes things, I will report my findings. If anyone who has been following the issue has any input as to whether they think this could work or whether this is clearly not my issue, feel free to chime in. If no ideas, I will inform you all of what I find and hopefully it can help somebody else having dropped calls.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
I can't answer your question directly, but when I first booted up, and every time I've flashed a factory image, OTA, or a ROM, "ATT Nextgenphone" is there in the APN list, and automatically selected.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Strange - never checked my APNs on stock.. interesting. It is added in some ROMs but others you have to add manually.

Sorry for a noob question. I have been doing as much research as I can and was wondering if someone would let me know if my thinking is right. I'm getting my nexus soon and I'm trying to prepare for it lol. I'm thinking I should unlock the boot loader first thing then wondering should I take the ota and then with one of the tools root and install twrp or should I root install twrp then flash 5.1? Also can I flash 5.1 in twrp? Sorry I'm a little confused. Thanks Pete.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
[MENTION=4342524]pete355sb[/MENTION]

A couple of questions.

1). What carrier are you with?

2). Who are you buying your phone from?

3). Do you have any reason (employer, for example) to need to keep your bootloader locked?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Whatever you do, unlock the bootloader first, like as soon as you get it - it formats your userdata and you lose everything, so if you are going to do anything at all that requires an unlocked bootloader (basically any modification), you are going to be better off unlocking immediately as to not waste time/lose data. I would recommend using fastboot to flash over a toolkit - it is very good to learn how to use it in case of a sticky situation. If you do use a toolkit, be sure to watch for the internal storage bug - anytime I use a toolkit my internal storage is wrong (should be 25.98 gb, usually only like 22.x gb after using toolkit method) - you then have to factory data reset the phone again in order to get your storage back. It works great other than that little quirk, though. You can sideload 5.1 via TWRP I believe.

So I have only dropped one single call since turning on sensor_ind, and that was the one I posted about - it was an hour into the call. I have not dropped a single call since - seems to have either fixed the issue or made it much, much less severe.
