[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] geoff5093:
When you restore apps with Google, it just re-downloads the apps. Titanium Backup is what you need to be cautious of when restoring apps, as some apps have different versions depending on the OS you are on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] fletch33:
well i have had it happen to me once and several people i know have had it happen where there are issues with the Play store when restoring from Play and a factory reset is the only thing that fixes it. i have never had that issue with titanium. in the end fresh is always best to me :)

i just setup my s6 edge from scratch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] geoff5093:
I normally do the same as well, I cancel the auto restore and just search for the apps I want and re-download them. Many of the apps it tries to restore are ones I've since deleted anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sincerity:
learn something new everyday...if you click the "all" tab under my apps, it lists ALL of the apps you've ever owned. can multi-select them and install all at one time. Easy peazy. Some of those I had forgotten about
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] skiddingus:
My wife and I each got an S6. My phone never asked me to sign in to Google while setting it up and the apps had to be manually reinstalled. Her phone asked for the Google account on startup and synced just fine. There are definitely some subtle differenced in the phones. Her phone had apps grouped into folders in her app drawer. Mine did not. She has a white 32gb and I have the black 32gb.

[XDA Assist] marcil802:
all good but after fresh start still buggy. see end of my post

I was stuck in recovery I couldn't load to download mode.

My computer wasn't able to see my device. I was scared it was the end.

What I did is.

-I removed the battery

-asked my ol lady to put in the battery while

I was holding the 3 button so it didn't have

Time to load in recovery.

- after 2 month'so of searching of an

Accually good link I found my stock

Firmware. (Sammobile ) takes for ever but works.

-from Odin 3.09 I have install from fresh like out of

The box ever all the things that I had deleted.

(Now I know. .. I'll freeze )

The reason of my update is if any one new to all

this like me. He might find what I had really hard time

to find. I know it's basic for most of you guys.

""Just a little thing.. even with the stock firmware freshly

installed not rooted yet. My phone seems a little buggy.

any idea? ""

[P3600 General] dwphoto:
After making core player my default player, I can longer use mp3s as ringtones. Problem is I cant seem to make the windows media player the default again.

This link http://www.futurehardware.in/568121.htm discusses the same issue and suggests that only a hard restore will fix it.

Surely I can make windows media the default player again without resorting to a hard reset.

Can anyone help with this please?

Cheers, Dean
[P3600 General] dwphoto:
Anyone out there that can help??
[P3600 General] NeilM:
You need to try opening a fully functioned File Explorer (Resco File Explorer or Total Commander), seeking an mp3 file, then Tap/Holding its entry. This should bring up a context menu, which includes Open With..; If you select 'Open With..' you should get a list of applications, which should include WMP, and there is a checkbox at the bottom of the screen to 'Always use this program'

Resco is available as a trial, and Total Commander is free.
[P3600 General] dwphoto:
Thanks for the reply. I've tried this with total commander but only get "open" instead of "open with". When I then select open, I recieve the following message:

"There is no application associated with filename. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application"

So I do that but still have the problem - its like wmp wont associate with any files.

Any suggestions on this? Would resco explorer be any different?

Thanks, Dean
[P3600 General] NeilM:
It is worth downloading Resco and trying it- the trial is free so nothing to lose.

It could be that Core Player has corrupted the whole file association system, in which case a hard reset may be needed, but I've not come across that before.

Have you tied reinstalling Core Player and starting again, then uninstalling again?

Needing some help. Purchased an "unlocked" Nexus 6 from eBay. I had an error that said phone iccid compare with sim iccid error. I setup the correct APN and still got no service. I restarted the phone and that little Android notification is now gone but I still have no service.

When I go to Cellular Networks I can no longer have an option to search for cellular providers nor input an APN just Preferred Network Type and System Select.

Can anyone help!?

What carrier? Have you contacted them to activate your phone?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaphz:
I am with a tiny local GSM carrier Union Wireless in Wyoming. I have generally just swapped SIM cards in and out of other phones before. I have never had to call and activate a phone before. I am coming from an unlocked HTC One M8.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaphz:
I'm at a loss here too. I put in another GSM SIM card from Viaero Wireless in Nebraska and it worked for roaming. When I put in my Union SIM it takes away my APN options and acts like it is a CDMA SIM card.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parental92:
hey guys, a little question from me. for all of you that have owned xperia z1 for awhile.

the open headphone jack is coated with hydrophobic coating , or seal that prevents the water to get in to the device, will this wear off ? even if you often use normal audio jack for listening to the music?

i need to know if , lets sat the z1 more than 1 year old it still will be waterproof :) thanks for the answer:)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Khan:
Im not sure, but mine xperia z1 is 1year old, no problem with waterprof.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiltron:
It's not just a coating, there's a membrane similar to a wetsuit (but much thinner) protecting the innards of the device.

That's mostly where the "or 30 minutes" portion of the waterproofing results comes from, because it's not exactly waterproof, it's a closed cell neoprene membrane. Water does get in, but it takes ~30 minutes to get through. Now, yes, you can exceed 30 minutes and be fine, it's just a "take it with a grain of salt" situation.

I wash my phone once a week under hot water (at a temperature I can still handle with bare hands), and have been doing so since Jan 2014. It'll be fine :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parental92:
nice to know that mate, thanks for the info :)

Got update today on Nike app, says syncs with shealth. Don't see how or where to sync
[Samsung Gear S] glenner05:
You need the update of s health as well. .. Just got it installed on my note 4. Now I see nike+ integrated in s health...
[Samsung Gear S] jeffrubenstein17:
Thanks. Dumb q. How do you get the shealth update? My galaxy store doesn't show my apps some lollipop
[Samsung Gear S] nique0201:
I Dont see anything about sheal in the Nike + running app or s health and they're both updated
[Samsung Gear S] ocaldini:
I updated everything and I see nothing.

Can you please tell us what to do?
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
S Health is not a simply app update. Samsung managed to create segmentations on S Health, e.g. each different phone models see different versions of S Health only. My Galaxy Alpha only sees S Health 3.5 that was last updated on Jan 2015.
[Samsung Gear S] ocaldini:
I downloaded the new apk and updated by myself. Yes, now Nike is in S Health.
[Samsung Gear S] strikey17:
Hey. Thanks for sharing. Could you share the apk, please? Or point us in the right direction ;)
[Samsung Gear S] romualdp:
Yes what is the app version and where to get it?
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
I don't know where to download it. My phone shows S Health app in Galaxy app store when it was on 4.4.4. But now with 5.0.2, it no longer shows. S Health is not a simple app to update. It depends on all kind of Samsung services to work. Samsung managed to get million different version of S Health targeting million different models of Samsung phone. I typically just wait and once in a while Samsung will push the S Health update to my phone.

Or you can search for S Health APK but keep in mind it may not work for you specific phone.
[Samsung Gear S] slaapliedje:
Odd thing. Updated to lollipop on my Note 4. S-Health is version 4.1.1.0037. It also now shows up in the Google Play Store as well as the Galaxy Apps store.
[Samsung Gear S] strikey17:
Casual jogging.

I've been using Gear S and Nike+ for running on a weekly basis. Here are some battery saving tips I have developed. My watch has no SIM card, so no battery drain that way. I use it simply as a GPS distance-measuring + MP3 player over BT mix.

1) Go to Settings just before a run and turn on "GPS". Usually it gets a signal pretty quickly. Then go to "motions" and disable all. Also, go to S Heath and disable the Pedometer.

2) If you jog with musicConnect your BT headphones. Turn on the Music from the Music player, as Nike does not know how to shuffle (whatever, Nike).

3) Go into Nike+ app, decline Music and Cheer requests. Wait a couple minutes, start your run and watch for the green GPS dot to appear.

When all goes as planned, I get more than two hours battery life (estimated). Went down from 90% to 40% battery life during an 1:25 hour 10 mile run. In theory, if you run fast enough Half-Marathon should be no problem, and if you do not use BT for Music at all, then it can probably go more than 3 hours on a single charge with Motion and Pedometer off. Good enough for casual jogging.

This watch is awesome for casual running. Share your tips, if you have any! Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] lgadbois:
There is a Running feature in S Health.
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
For those that updated, can you still use Nike+ or do you now need to use sHealth, because Nike is integrated into it?

I run every day, and switched from sHealth to Nike+ 2 months ago because the GPS signal would take forever to lock in sHealth. How are things after the update? Is sHealth faster? Nike+ slower?
[Samsung Gear S] strikey17:
I keep using the NIKE+ for running, but after the update GPS took about 5-7 minutes to lock...will retry again today or tomorrow.
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
Thank you thank you!! I have not even looked into possibly updating until I hear user feedback, as I was afraid it may slow down the GPS. Can't wait to hear back from you or others after you next run.

Is anything else new or different?

One more question: does Nike now track your HR? On my Gear S, it never did. Just wondering if that has changed since the update.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] strikey17:
HR works for me sometimes, depending on how sweaty my hand is + hair ;). But it is imprecise, as far as I gather.

GPS lock now takes forever. .. ran yesterday and it pretty much skipped the first 750 meters + fooled around with the watch 5 mins beforehand. It still counts the distance though. I never carry the phone with me though.
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
Thanks strikey17. Is there any benefit to the upgrade that you can see, then? Sounds to me like I should make sure it does not install, if it only slows down the GPS.
[Samsung Gear S] Song9285819:
How Can I use S health in my Gear S2 to running then sync data with nike+ App?
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
Nothing to do with the watch app. Nike+ phone app now supports sync data into S Health phone app. Not the other ways around. Your watch S Health app already sync data with S Health app on the phone. So here is how it goes:

Nike+ watch app -> Nike+ phone app->S Health phone app

S Health watch app -> S Health phone app

As far as development goes (which is the core of xda) , the droid turbo and moto maxx are going in completely different directions. Can you please justify keeping them in the same thread? This has been asked several dozen times and I have yet to see a response, personally, from any moderator.

After so much requests, nothing done, so. I believe will stand this way, because both are quark devices. Have 4 variants
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Slartibartfast_:
Galaxy phones have different forums based on their variants... Not that the DT is as popular as the Galaxy S series but still, in terms of android development there's very little, if anything, in common between the DT and the Maxx. Keeping both in the same forum creates confusion and doesn't help anyone. Hopefully the mods will not ignore this request again.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Go off-topic with this thread and the moderators will start swarming ;)

Maybe then they'll notice this very common request.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Slartibartfast_:
I'm thinking about upgrading to an iPhone 6 or a Lumia 540, which one is better?

Edit: all joking aside, I reported this thread to the mods, explaining briefly what we're trying to achieve. Hopefully they'll step in and create a new forum for the Maxx.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Semseddin:
It would just be better for everyone to seperate droid turbo and moto maxx / moto turbo sections.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Steve-x:
Yes it would be better if they were not combined! I post in this section about a phone that cannot be used on Verizon no matter what yet the name "Verizon" is in the subject.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gregbradley:
As you have said, this has been discussed before, so Thread closed as per rule 5

Furthermore, the correct way to request a new device forum is via the

*** New Device Forum Requests ***

Please use that.

Greg

EDIT

Furthermore, it is not the moderators who decide on such matters, it is the site admins.

EDIT 2

After reading through this thread I do not see the need for any MOD bashing. I certainly do not owe anyone anything. I am giving back to this community by giving up my free time. Also, you cannot blame the MODS/Admins for not answering you lot if all you do is post requests in this forum in stead of the correct one l linked above (Which can be found with a very simple google search http://bit.ly/1yiXslb )

So on that note, thread cleaned as well
[LG Optimus G Pro] stew1411:
So I just replaced the lcd and digitizer in my OGP. My touch screen doesn't work on the new digitizer. The old touch controller chip was made by WinPower. The new touch controller is made by Synaptics, much better company. My question is this. Do you guys think its just defective, or should I do a factory restore to see if it works? I'm just not sure if maybe a reset will reflash the touch firmware also.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
It's say by repairuniverse.com to do a factory rest after the installation. Make sense since you just install a new hardware, and the device needs be reset to accomodate the new hardware. Synaptic chip seems to be in all the replacement digitizer these days. We can no longer buy the real oem digitizer, only the oem quality ones. Please let me know if factory reset does the job for you, for I'm waiting to replace my broken digitizer glass as well.

Edit: my digitizer repair was a success. It was working fine with the factory rest. But I did one anyway just to recalibrate the touch screen. It makes sense, doesn't it? Be sure to check the digitizer connection, and make sure it is connected real well.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bi0hacker:
I just recently bought a used Blue Angel for my Cingular provider.

Let me just say, with this site I am in love with this device. It's the best phone I've ever owned.

One downfall though, this version does not include the camera.

I know other models include the camera, and I expect it's probably just a add-on peripheral and that my phone probably has the port for the camera addon already(Or I can solder one ;)

What I'm asking is, has anybody tried this?

Also I would like to know where I could buy the replacement case/body for it if I can add a camera(my used case is pretty banged up)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Wexx:
I think that your best chance is to swap the case and camera with someone who doesn't use it. Personally I would trow away my camera if I could have that black case of XDA IIs in exchange for it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bi0hacker:
Ah crap, it's hard enough finding sellers for cases.

Sellers for cameras? >.<

I'm willing to pay up to 30$ USD for the camera addon for the blue angel though, if all else I'd dremel a hole in my phone >.> <.<
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bioChazTBO:
I've done this several times...it is FAR, FAR easier than one might think! A 13/64" hole in the right location, the software off the ftp, and bingo! I actually used the dremel tool on the PPC-6600 case to remove the high edges of the casing so it would fit nicely over the SX66 board. Then I drilled a hole where I thought the camera would be. Now I can see the camera through the back of the casing. After that I just measured from the edge of the little rubber stopper to the center of the camera, and from the edge where the battery fits to the center of the camera. I marked those dimensions onto the SX66 casing and carefully drilled the hole. Ended up with a nice round hole, in the approximately right place (maybe a 0.5mm off center), that didn't interfere with the camera. And oh yes, the camera came out of the PPC-6600! Only problem is the SX66 does NOT have the leads for the flash...but the SX66 comes with the necessary bracket for the camera! Or you could just buy the MDA casing that has the nice camera hole...if you can find one!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bi0hacker:
I don't care about the flash.

I just need a place to get the camera addon dude.

That's the real kicker.

So, did you find anyone who sells the camera?

I have several for sale. Each comes with the necessary driver and template for making the hole, detailed instructions, and I throw in a torx driver. This 1.2 MP is a no flash version, and as BioChaz stated it wouldn't work on the SX66 any how. Contact me if you are interested. $58 per camera set shipped to anywhere in the US I can walk without getting my feet wet. They are listed on eBay along with my moded SX-66 camera phones.
