[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
You can delete them with Titanium Backup or similar app.

Or you can run the script I made: https://db.tt/FFg1NiPM

Consider this your first and only warning: that script will wipe almost all Google apps that are on the play store from /system. That's Books, Magazines, Maps, Hangouts, etc. It does not wipe the launcher, keyboard, HTML Viewer, or Camera. Pretty much everything else non-essential will be deleted, though.

You can replace all these apps with the versions from the play store (moving them to /data), and freeing tons of space on /system.

Next time you can just delete folders of apps that you don't need in /system/app and /system/priv-app with root explorer. Then go to /data/dalvik-cache and delete content.

Hi, my gpad is arrived today i notice this "problem":

Is a real problem or can i stay with it? I am worried about finding worse problems with other gpad (eventually replaced by amazon italia)...what should you do in my place? it's a more brilliant point, but i hate it :/

Hi Folks,

I have a Galaxy S3 I9300 with volume buttons which does not work. Phone is not rooted and have stock recovery and stock ROM.

I wanted to root it and flash custom recovery and ROMs. Please let me know if there is any way to boot into download mode without volume buttons so that I can use ODIN to root it.

[Nexus 6  General] Superjoe:
I bought a used Nexus 6 and thought it was perfect but didn't realize until too late that the OIS was defective and causing the camera to jerk around constantly. So I initiated an RMA yesterday and they 1-Day shipped the phone today and I should get it tomorrow, not bad at all.

I say relatively because you do of course have to sit through the troubleshooting process with the techs over the phone. Which is fine for the average person but if you're not a total dummy you probably already tried everything that they will ask you to do. You've got to do it all over again for them anyways.
[Nexus 6  General] DebianDog:
Awesome, that is good to hear.

I remember calling ADSL company after the dog chewed through the cable outside. Instead of saying, "oh the dog chewed through the cable let me send someone over" She literally made me go through all the steps in her diagnostic process before she would send somebody. And she was not to be interrupted with factual information. It was surreal.

[Nexus 6  General] Diocat:
Other than a language barrier as well as connection quality issue which caused the representative to write down the wrong email address for the incident and shipping label, I had very good results with Motorola repairs. I had my phone for two months and then the phone would turn off randomly at any time, even if the battery stated it was still over 90%. Also, once the battery drained enough, the phone would shut off every time I took a picture using the camera. The representative asked me if I had a bulging back cover due to the time I bough my phone (which I didn't), then put me through the troubleshooting process, which seemed to make the problem worse, then proceeded to process an RMA for me.

The only thing I would recommend is to take the option where they put a hold on a credit card and send you a phone first (unless you have a backup phone to fall on). I took the second option, where I sent the phone in first and it took them over two weeks to "diagnose the phone" after they received it before sending me my replacement (total time without phone, about three weeks).
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
For you, many others have not had the same experience
[Nexus 6  General] TheAmazingDave:
I RMA'd my first N6 due to a hue issue with the AMOLED in the bottom-right corner.

I didn't talk to anyone. I submitted the request through the website, and opted for the immediate replacement with the hold on my credit card, and the brand new Nexus 6 arrived a few days later (submitted right before weekend so expected delay).

I sent the old phone back, and as soon as it was checked in, my warranty and MotoCare automagically transferred to the new handset.

Completely painless.

Hi,

I want to flash stock firmware of i9300 into my i535, can anybody please guide me that how can I do it?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
It can't be done. You would only succeed in converting your i535 into a paperweight by flashing the i9300 stock firmware onto it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid2222:
I have seen many s3 phones have converted from i535 to i9300

and many s4 converted from l720 to i9505. etc

If it's not possible then how these people got there phones converted?

As landshark said it's not possible. You can edit your build.prop to say it's an international phone but the hardware isn't the same. Although if you want to hard brick the phone then feel free to

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidinAndStuff:
I managed to get two s5's rooted and annoyingly enough, unless I put my sims card in them, neither gmail or the playstore will connect or login via wifi. I only have one sims activated and that is my internet connection which I tether via wifi to my other devices.

Is there a way to work around this? If this is too remedial a question or unwelcome in this thread, I apologize.

I'd like to be able to set up a freshly flashed and rooted phone to accept my gmail account and work with playstore on wifi, sans a sims installed. Do I need to create a gmail account for each and every phone I wish to set up? Will this fix the problem of doing a phone not having a active verizon sims installed? For whatever reason, my playstore access and gmail push are wonky and dubious at best when having the same account being "registered" on multiple devices and I'm not sure if it started recently when gmail for some reason started sending notices to said email account of when another device logged in.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
I too manage two S5's, rooted and I have no problems. The one without a Sim works great off of WiFi. Playstore works fine logged into the same account.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidinAndStuff:
That's perversely encouraging and assures me I haven't lost my mind expecting something impossible that I thought I knew to be true. Neither of my S5's, my N4 or Z2 will reliably hook up with gmail and the play store both. This one S5 will not allow me set up a new gmail account on the device and gmail has stopped pushing to my DD S4. Remove account, clear cache, date force stop all google processes, reboot and same. Lots posted about it and I know google hasn't banned me as it is working on some devices. Besides, I behave.

Now if I can get supersu to install from an APK with a wifi connection, I can at least proceed.

Congrats on yours and thanks for confirming it should work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidinAndStuff:
Well I popped the sims card in the one, which had been flashed back to ngc from oa8 (my other one hadn't ever tried to OTA update from nk2) and playstore and gmail cooperated fine. However, SDM started downloading an update, which I'll assume is OTA to OA8 or OC4. The first time before I pulled the battery I got playstore hooked up and forced SDM to stop. Pulled the battery and SDM continued where it left off and I managed supersu and busybox. Deferred the install of the update and wonder

how critical it is that the downloaded file be removed prior to safestrapping it and then OC4 rooting it with the tether addon.

The other S5 on nk2 hasn't tried to OTA update so it must be down on the list despite being readily activate-able with clean IMEI and no issues.

I wish I could figure out why google services such as gmail and playstore are being contumacious on my devices.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
I had that same problem of an update trying to get on my phone before I could get it rooted ( an s4) and it messed my phone up bad. I had to finally take the update to get it working again

I would put all the files, towelroot, busybox, SuperSU, safestrap, and titanium backup on my ext SD card. Flash back to stock NGC. Don't use your Sim or log onto WiFi. Root your phone and freeze SDM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidinAndStuff:
It never attempted the OTA until the active sim card was in place. I used it on wifi many times including several times today and had even worked fine with the playstore/gmail on wifi up until recently when gmail stopped pushing to my dd period, and every other device in which my DD's sims card wasn't inserted.

The OTA update file has been downloaded, but not installed. I deferred it to 5 am and didn't check automatic. I am assuming I can defer it again although I'd somehow feel better removing it and freezing SDM until I decide if I am going to OC4 it or do a custom rom. Nice would be native call recording, native tethering and being able to overclock it a bit. A lightweight lollipop and xposed would probably do the trick other than maybe overclocking. Too much reading for one day.

It is currently on NCG, rooted, supersu, busy box, and safestrap all installed. I think I'll install a root file explorer try to find it and also do Titanium Backup while I'm at it. I wish I knew where it was and if removing it was as simple as just deleting a file.

Any ideas? I have two in the same state and think I'm going to make one of them my DD since getting root on a verizon N4 doesn't look likely anytime soon. The N4 is kinda big anyhow. I have to have tethering and would like it easier than foxfi since I feel obligated to use as much of my unlimited data as possible. I think I read the native call recording can be enable from the dialer at the cost of the "add call" which I don't use or even know what it is.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
Try your root/cache folder to find your update.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidinAndStuff:
Getting on that this morning. I wish I could figure out why it keeps downloading and installing playstore on wifi and still won't work until I put my sims in it. I've gone through everything short of uninstalling all of google services and reinstalling them on several devices. My wifi only z2 tab acting stupid with google would be a vexation if I let things like that bother me.

Thanks and I'm popping the sims in it and going to try cleaning it up and locking down SDM.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Installed the root browser and the update zip was in cache.

Deleted.

Went to system with the display icon.

App then deleted the SDM apk and the SDM odex file.

Hopefully that will keep it from pulling that stunt again until I decide what to do with it.

Guess I should do it with the other one and figure out why that same sims won't make gmail push to my DD or the play station work in it or why my non-pc wifi only devices won't work except through their browsers. I think there must be some conflict with which devices the playstore is recognizing as being associated with my accounts.

Must be something in my google settings and what a conglomerated octopus google services has turned into.

Thanks again. Feel free to tell me if my down and dirty bandaid overlooked anything!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
Good luck to you!

The only thing weird about my google account and gmail is that the email address I login with is not the one that shows up under "accounts" and the login email address is not a gmail address. Somehow the two different email accounts are linked together.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidinAndStuff:
Yeah, I wish I know what Google was up to exactly. Acknowledging the 'this device logged into your account' and verifying that it's me, seems like should seamlessly eliminate issues. That doesn't appear to be the case and I think my problems started when I somehow agreed for them to send me such notices relative to the gmail account I use on my other devices, not both gmail accounts associated with my DD.

On my DD, I have two gmail accounts that I've had for ages. They have always worked fine on my android devices. Recently that changed and I'm not sure why but I know when. On my other many devices, I've just registered one of my gmail accounts to them, the same one each time, and they too all seemed to quit working at the same time, initially offering no problems to working on wifi.

However, I am curious as to your thoughts on Ricks Rom as I looked over the specs and it seems to be about what I'm looking for although for some unqualified reason, my mind has been thinking I wanted a rom based on lollipop. It says it has native or hacked hotspot and native call recording. Can it be overclocked? I don't use Facebook, Twitter or any of the gimmicky apps that come preinstalled on the phones and find most all of them, especially the Samsung redundant ones, to be annoying and intrusive.

Do you know for sure if Xposed will or will not work with it?

How many security certificates come system installed on Ricks Rom? My guess is that something like 200 come stock and I don't like the looks of many of them and wish I knew how come and why.

Thank you, I appreciate your sharing information. It is nice to gather up pieces to puzzles and hopefully being able to solve them. I'll get this gmail playstore thing fixed if it means I have to go fishing long enough to forget about it! Maybe somebody else finding themselves in a similar situation may find some of our particular details useful to fixing these oddities.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
I'm running RicksRom (v19 right now) on my DD and have been using it since I first got my phone a year and a half ago. I don't have Xposed but don't know why it wouldn't work. This is a pretty lean ROM but it does have quite a few security certificates. I'm running MOAR on my spare phone that is currently on lollipop. I have this phone as a spare to play with but wouldn't run lollipop. Too quirky and I like the theming capabilities of KitKat better.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidinAndStuff:
Thanks, lean sounds fine and overclocking a bit would be even nicer! I'll dig through that thread a bit more and see if anyone has verified Xposed to work with it conflict free and if it can be clocked.

I went through my gmail account settings on my PC and under Recent Activity/Notifications and Alerts... there is no way to uncheck any alerts that have been checked. I am pretty sure my issues started when I recently checked "Email" for Suspicious Attempt to Access Account. The password change email notice has been checked since forever.

Going to the Playstore on my PC, it lists all of my devices, past and present although it has dropped some that haven't accessed for a while, and now makes me think I need to give them all nicknames since I have multiples of the same Model Number devices. However, it lists all current and recent as well reconciles. What it won't do from my PC browser, is anything but sit there doing nothing when I hit install for a selected app. It will not give a pop down menu to select which device and the playstore account settings are very minimal. I will see if nicknaming them helps since there are multiple devices with the same model number. This type of online PC install used to work fine and would prompt with a pop down menu to select which device, regardless if they were online via the sims or wifi, and then download and install if the selected device was online. I don't recall ever doing that when I had multiple devices having access with the same model number.

Another interesting thing is that Verizon must have access to the playstore and/or gmail device list. I know this from speaking with a very helpful tech rep this week about my data connection speed on my DD. She verified seeing devices on this account even if they hadn't ever had my sims card installed. Merely been online with my one email account registered and playstore accessed from it. That kinda surprised me. I wonder if there is some Google Services/Verizon conflict that may be causing this.

Added:[SIZE=+1]Q11: What is a SBF?[/SIZE]

Quote by cellzealot "SBF is a file type and stands for Single Binary File that is the older format of Motorola flash files for use with RSD lite or other flash tools.

They include all of the code groups, header files and checksums as well as a RAM Downloader for all of the device partition images in a single file and flashed from the legacy boot loader enumerated as a flash device.

The new format for all dual core Motorola devices is zip archive of fastboot images and an XML file that can be used with RSD lite to flash in a single operation or flashed as individual images using the fastboot binary and DLLs in the Android SDK from the fastboot boot loader and enumerated as an ADB device.

These are entirely different modes of access and operation and SBF is both wrong and a misnomer for the firmware files for current devices.

The fast boot interface provides far more flexibility and safety for flashing than the old flash interface and avoids all kinds of problems that would arise from managing and updating he firmware on newer chipset devices.

It is an extremely important distinction to make and understanding to have about how these phones work.

Please stop using SBF when referring to XML.zip files.

The current acronym for Motorola firmware files is FXZ and means Full XML ZIP file."

XT886?

I have a Motorola RAZR V model XT886, from Wind Mobile in Canada. I don't see this model number mentioned anywhere. There's nothing other than the Motorola logo on the back cover. (I could have sworn there was a model number there, but maybe it's worn off?) The information from About Phone is:

System version: 673.135.170.XT886.CanadaAWS.en.CA

Model number: XT886

Android version: 4.0.4

Firmware configuration version: GAS_NA_YANGTZEWIND_P032

Baseband version: U_04.17.00R

AP flex version: GAS_NA_YANGTZEWIND_P032; GAS_NA_YANGTZEWIND_A008

Build number: 6.7.3-135_YIC-17

Build date: Sun Jul 15 20:35:11 CDT 2012

The exterior looks just like the XT910 but all black. Has 1GB of RAM (actually OS Monitor reports 889.4MB???) and dual core CPU at up to 1.2ghz. I had no problem rooting it but I want to upgrade to a more recent custom ROM such as CM.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a separate model from the XT908/XT910/XT912? I suspect it might just be a "Canadian version" or "HSPA version", and would be able to run ROMs designed for these other models?
