[Amazon Fire Phone] hoanphu:
after using my phone with the updated OS for a few days now, I've also experienced some more issues. some apps don't open or stall on opening such as Redfin and some open, but don't seem to work such as Pandora (opens, but music won't load).

anyone else?
[Amazon Fire Phone] rbeavers:
Downloaded and installed this,

Google Play Store 5.4.12

still not working acts like it can't see phone

installed tab and if you try to install just spins.

worked yesterday made the mistake or resetting and trying again.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Xyth:
Same thing here. I uninstalled play store and installed older version 4.1.10. I can then open up the store and update applications, but the next time I open Google auto updates (despite settings not to) it to the latest version that just spins on a white screen. At least this is a work around to keep other apps updated while we wait for a fix.
[Amazon Fire Phone] fireme:
It looks like Google Play Services 7.3.29 was just released this morning. I have fireos 4.6.1 installed, my play services auto updated, and Play Store and Gmail now appear to work without hanging! Google hangouts still does not let me send messages.
[Amazon Fire Phone] fireme:
Well, I spoke too soon. Play Store and Gmail open, but they don't refresh properly. That's frustrating.
[Amazon Fire Phone] mjp123:
I am not very technical, I did manage to sideload the play store with someone from this forum's easy to follow directions a few months back. That being said today I am having the issue with google services crashing non stop, can't load gmail and this phone is virtually useless because I have to keep replying 'ok' to the crash...

I'm on 3.6.8 and it says I'm up to date, no new updates to download ... how can I get the newer version of 4.6.1 so I can solve this crashing issue? I'd appreciate it if someone has easy to follow directions for the somewhat technically challenged... (me!)

I'm running it with T-Mobile's network and I'm in the USA.

I don't know what version google play services I use (or how to check for that matter).

Thanks!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] rbeavers:
Updating wont help the google play store not working at lest for long.
[Amazon Fire Phone] srismart:
same issue. don't see fire os update

Google play services crashing even after multiple uninstalls and updates. I don't see the fire OS update available for me yet, still showing 3.6.8 as the latest. Any ideas to try?
[Amazon Fire Phone] mjp123:
thanks! Are you saying that even if I updated to the latest Fire OS I'd still get these 'Google play services has stopped' errors constantly? Also do you know if Google play store is having issues with other phones and OS's and if they are working on a fix? (it's so annoying.. can't get to gmail and the error is constant)... thanks everyone!

not just us

go look at google play services on the google play store. Everyone is having problems and giving it 1 star (including me). Multiple phones are having the issue:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trev420:
So after reading posts about a pink tint to the screen, i decided to put it next to my girlfriends white s6. Wish i hadnt. Her s6 is CONSIDERABLY more bright than mine with a white screen. Didnt notice much of a pink tint, even though i believe its faintly there. More worried about the brightness level.

I made sure everything was the same. Same screen mode, same brightness level, same picture. Hers was much brighter and much more white than mine. Will take some side by side pics when i get home. Really dissapointed actually... Thinking about going with a regular s6 if i can switch it out.. Just to many problems plagueing the edge.

Anyone else notice the same thing?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdunker26:
Yes this is a problem. Both Edges we had were returned for that issue. They were also darker than the regular S6.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trev420:
im not super worried about the pink tint, as many galaxy phones have had this issue and is later not as noticable, but the darker, less bright-screen would diminish image quality IMO.

What did you do? get them exchanged and next ones were better? Did u just get regular s6?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thawk720:
This was known some time ago. You should read AnandTech reviews at least before you purchase a phone. S6 will always be more bright than the edge.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdunker26:
Try putting a flashlight on the light sensor with auto bright off and brightness turned all the way up. Watch how bright and vibrant the screen gets. It is a programming error. We traded to regular S6s. I noticed my S6 screen also had a very dull screen. Returned it for an M9.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trev420:
im only reading things about it BARELY being brighter, and all other numbers show the edge screen come out on top of the s6.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trev420:
you mentioned two s6's. Was only one of the screens dull? Was the other one flawless? Opinion of m9 vs s6?

so the darker screen on the s6e compared to my girlfriends s6 is just a software brightness bug? i can live with this.. My screen isnt super pink either... If my screen is just as bright as my girlfriends, then ill stick it out for a software update.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdunker26:
My wife is fine with her screen. It seems better than my returned S6. The M9 feels better in hand to me. Speakers are not as loud but sound way better on the M9. The colors on the screen of the M9 are not as vibrant as the S6. Whites are better though. No stutters or issues besides that in my M9. I've yet to feel it get any hotter than the S6.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkrededibles:
I actually read my first AnandTech phone review because of this comment. I've been using the site mainly for computer parts comparisons and reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised by just how detailed their phone review was. Thanks for posting!:good:

Also, however, to respond the forum OP's question, OP should definitely check if the auto brightness setting is enabled. With it on, max brightness goes way up, while with it off, the regular max brightness is relatively darker.

Edge is way brighter according to this LUX test, maybe you got a defective unit
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trev420:
okay been doing alot of reading. There seems to be a defect in the edge model, just about all of them. With auto brightness off (meaning the phone has no control over brightness of the screen), in a dim room with brightness bar cranked up, the screen will dim. When i did this test, my room was dimly lit. Will do some more tests later when iget home.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knitler:
its a big difference in my Nexus 6 vs the Edge. The Nexus is MUCH brighter.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bora197:
I bought today S6 Edge and that was for me quite a disappointment.

But when you put a flashlight to a light sensor (or whatever it calls), you can see that S6 Edge has two more modes-both brighter. The first brighter mode is bright like S6 and the second one like S6 under the flashlight (or sunlight). That shows that the screens are same and that the problem is software. I cant wait to see, whether they solve this with the next update.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercuryzzz:
Same thing here. Samsung is still not solving the issue and it is aware since more than a month! How difficult is to be solved? I'm not sure they will ever solve it at this point.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexisrex:
Guess this is affecting only the carrier variants. Mines a international GSM g925i and I am in a dark room typing this with auto brightness turned off and brightness at 40pc or so..the screen is damn bright and it has remained this way without dimming.. So not a issue here. Also I think the brightness at 40pc is killing my eye right now..so its quite good. May be a feature requested by the carriers who knows...

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] phoenixwestl:
I've been trying to find one all across the internet but with no luck at all and I'm also trying to make an AOSP ROM for this device but I'm no Dev in any shape or form so progress is.... Slow

I learn the process as I go and I've hit a major problem getting the blobs for this device but I hope maybe a dev might get this device one day. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Serathas:
i've been waiting a long time (had this device over a year now still no rom) i wish there at least was some rom like Cyanogenmod or Carbon rom which would support it i don't dare to install the S4 Mini version of Cyanogenmod yet don't know what it would do to my device
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] phoenixwestl:
I've already checked and the s4 mini runs a different chipset and flashing cm for s4 mini will most likely end in the phone being bricked so I would advise not to flash under any circumstance.

[HTC One X] vchalmel:
I everyone,

I need your help, I tried to install a new rom (AICP : this one) , and somehow forgot to do a backup.

When I boot I only get the swirling logo, never get to fully load.

The phone is not bricked, I can still access the bootloader / fastboot and my recovery, so I could simply flash another rom... but I can't figure how to get the zip file on the /sdcard.

I can't use adb sideload or push, I have HTC sync and android sdk installed, I have no problem to use fastboot commands, so I guess I don't have any driver problem, but adb devices never shows my phone (Tried while off, booted on bootloader, on fastboot, and on recovery, never shows up when I try adb devices)

On windows I get a driver error when plugging my phone while in recovery, but I don't find how to install it.

So... is there a way to mount the /sdcard/ as an external drive in windows or ubuntu ? Or do you have a workaround for adb ?

Thanks a lot !

Vincent

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] A0425A:
So my phone is in the middle of downloading the Lollipop update. I really don't want to take it. Will it automatically update or will it prompt me to accept the upgrade? I'm currently on 4.4.4 and not rooted. I know I could root and use TB to freeze the update program but I'm not ready to do that just yet. Is there another way that doesn't involve rooting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
In the past, it has prompted you and then it goes ahead with it anyway at a certain point. There's no way to block without root afaik unless you want to wipe your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] A0425A:
I ended up wiping. Won't make that mistake again. FYI. OTA works with H2O SIM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] xil3:
Once in awhile, I hear this crack and loud pop, just as I start initiating a call.

Has anyone else experienced this with the new S6?

I'm tempted to return it. I've never had this happen before, with another phone. Plus the fact that the boot-loader is locked, doesn't really make me happy.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdcooke:
Do we have to wait for Samsung pay to come out before we are able to test out the new mobile payment on traditional magnetic card readers? I don't think Google Wallet will support it, but does anyone know if it is possible to use the app produced by LoopPay? maybe it's possible since they are the company Samsung bought to be able to put the tech in the phone.

I haven't had the chance to try it out myself, so wondered if anyone else had found a way to test it out.
[One (M9) Accessories] minotauri:
I got this case on amazon for $10.99. It comes with a mediocre screen protector.

The case itself is extremely light and fits around the phone securely. It covers every edge which is nice for these light shell cases. The design is similar to OEM look.

The feel is a little slick but better than the phone metal body. I wish it were more rubbery like other slim cases I've had before.

The case I got was gold.

[One (M9) Accessories] sdotagain:
I have the clear one. Love it. It's the only super slim case case I could find that covers all sides and provides a small lip for face down lay on the table protection.

Edit: the black one has a soft touch feel BTW. I have that one on my M8.[emoji16]
[One (M9) Accessories] minotauri:
Thanks! That's good to know. I was debating on whether to get black or gold and just randomly chose gold.

I wish the screen protector it came with was larger. It doesn't cover the entire surface and it's a weird size in that it doesnt fit the actual screen part of the phone either.
[One (M9) Accessories] sdotagain:
So true! I've placed many screen protectors on phones over the years and this one was by far the worst. It just didn't fit right at all I had to trash it. But it was free so I can't complain too much. I prefer glass ones now anyway.

[One (M9) Accessories] chunkyhao:
I had gotten the clear one, but I don't recommend it. The cutout for the camera flash is too close, and since the case is clear, the flash will reflect and cause a glare in your photos. The black and gold ones probably don't have this problem though.
[One (M9) Accessories] AvaAdore:
Looks really sleek and I kinda like the gold one however it does look like the Huawei Mate 7. Have held this phone with this case and it sure was very light and slim. I agree that it would've been better if the feel is a little more rubbery because I am not that comfortable holding the phone with that case.
[One (M9) Accessories] barleysoda:
I bought this case last month when the phone first came out. I bought the clear one and it was very slim and looked very sharp. This past weekend while walking through a parking lot I went to pull my phone out of my pocket and literally threw it up in the air and it took about a 6 foot bounce off the pavement. The corner of the Ringke case is broken off but there isn't one scratch on my phone.

Now you expect a giant brick of a case like the otterbox to survive these types of falls but I don't expect an Ultra thin case to survive and I was very impressed it was able to protect my phone. Its a good case.
[One (M9) Accessories] trev23sks:
I would'nt had bought this case if I knew it was this slippery lol
[One (M9) Accessories] aviatordoc:
I have one in clear and like the way it does not add bulk to the phone at all. You feel like you are holding just the phone and the clear case really shows off the two tone.

[Xperia Z3 General] dedei:
Is there any benefit of returning to your original model? I have a D6653 and been using the D6603 lollipop firmmwares since they came out....
[Xperia Z3 General] Awestrike:
I would say that if you have no issues with the version you're using right now, it shouldn't be much different if you switch. In fact, if you're happy with the way things are currently, you should be more worried about accidentally breaking something (if it's not broken, don't fix it and all that)). Then again, you can always flash back to your back-up if things go awry.

Anyway, I dirty flashed this over my previous installation and it looks like everything's as it should be, except for the screen off animation. Or is there really not supposed to be one? I was using Gravity Box for CRT off before but it seems like it had fade before that. Now my screen just... winks out.
[Xperia Z3 General] lemonade747:
Why dont u use recovery 2.8.10?
[Xperia Z3 General] Arxelance:
We're on the same country, that's why I flashed it right away :)

My firmware now works better than my previous (D6603) and I can tell the changes. With my new D6653 firmware, my issues were resolved:

- 'No Service' on the lock screen

- X-Reality automatically turns off

- Service Menu is crashing

I was having some issues with the 2.8.10, so I decided to use 2.8.7 instead (which works fine for me). Anyway you can always update the recovery anytime :)
[Xperia Z3 General] Awestrike:
Yeah, I thought so. It would have been unusual to just arbitrarily pick this region, haha.

What screen-off animation came with the firmware? Fade or no animation?
[Xperia Z3 General] Arxelance:
No animation, even when I used D6603 firmware before. There should be a mod for that, I don't know just how, yet :)
[Xperia Z3 General] Awestrike:
That's good then. I was worried something that it was a very minor nit in an otherwise perfect flash.

I'll just have to wait until we have Xposed/Gravity Box again for CRT Off/Fade (and quick unlocK).

[Xperia Z3 General] Arxelance:
The thing is, there is no exploit yet to get root directly on lollipop. The only working exploit for root is by using giefroot, and sad to say, you need to downgrade your firmware for that.

That's so sad. I actually planned to root my Z3 yesterday while still on KitKat but suddenly Lollipop arrived at XperiFirm and I being excited to see what this version offers just jumped on the idea of updating mY device.
