So, I guess I'm just imagining that the 5.1 update is on my phone. And that it showed up the day I bought it.
[Nexus 6  General] cornelious2:
Ya, why was it sold out for forever and a half. If its a flop its due to lack of supply.
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
You don't believe that this wasn't PLANNED, do you? They know exactly what the demand will be, they can supply plenty to satisfy the demand. The "shortage" was entirely a marketing trick to make demand LOOK bigger than it really was. Oldest trick in the book.

If you want more proof of this, just consider for a moment that these are ONLINE ORDERS. What that means, is that they don't actually need to have a physical stock of the devices in order to be able to place an order. They just need to know the manufacturing capacity of the factory making them in order to be able to give the customer a reasonable estimate on shipping date.

[Nexus 6  General] Lucke:
that was, quite possibly, the worst "tech" article i've ever read. like somebody in the comments there said, they couldn't even mock up a moto phone, so they had to use a Huawei phone (without even swapping logo's).

would have been a great April fools article, but on April 21st, it's just sad and pathetic
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Lol, definitely written by someone who wrote off the nexus 6 before even trying it. Probably due to price.
[Nexus 6  General] travisjshepherd:
They're probably one of the iSheep, which is still more expensive than the nexus 6. "The same phone?" this person could not have picked up either device if they wrote that. Next article they will right will be how android watches are too cheap and you need a more expensive iTWATch.

I heard Samsung is secretly making it from an unnamed source. Seriously, the dude was born without a name. He said its going to be the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2 by Google and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2 Edge by Google. The source was also pretty pissed about how many names the phone had. I guess his lack of having a name makes him sensitive about it. Anywho, you heard it here first.

My sources say that the moto nexus 5 2015 will be manufactured by Huawei based on the LG Nexus 5. It will have a 5 inch screen with 720 resolution, a Samsung made dual-core SoC, and 2.5 MBs of RAM, it will have a 8GB ROM with no SD Card. The battery will be 2,000 mAh and it will cost $350 off contract.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
I went to use Waze for the first time on the S6 today, and it was all messed up. Unsure of what the problem was, I googled for compass calibration, and it was completely uncalibrated.

Calibration was easy, though, I just need to wait until tomorrow to check if it has solved the Waze problem.

Click here for instructions to check and calibrate.

Hi and thanks for the advice.

This procedure fix temporarily the problem but it appears again.

I hope it can be fixed by an OTA update
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out for it then.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misiek_to_ja:
I'm experiencing the same issue. It seems calibration helps only for some time as the problem returns. Looks really strange. I verified it on two S6 units.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
That's unfortunate. I'm still calibrated since I started this thread, still keeping my eye out for it to lose calibration. Maybe I got lucky.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misiek_to_ja:
I noticed that after calibration compass works great, but after I restart the device the compass needs a recalibration. I did some quick search on XDA and it seems it is quite common issue across different Samsung devices, the question if it is a hardware or software fault.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
I haven't rebooted my phone very often... rebooting now to see if it messes it up...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. Yep. That did it. Red needle w/ "0". Not cool, Samsung. Thanks for the heads up on this.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misiek_to_ja:
I visited Samsung Brand Store today and checked another 2 devices. Guess what ?! The same issue ! Compass calibration lost after reboot. This makes me think it is a software issue as it is hard to believe all 4 devices I checked were faulty. I also noticed it is very easy to calibrate it. You don't have to do all the calibration moves, you don't have to run any compass application or go into Samsung service menu (*#0*#0). You just have to be at your home screen or any other application and then you have to do the 3rd calibration move showed here: https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/6145351?hl=en

You just need to do it slower than showed on the image and with more angle. 3 moves and compass is calibrated.

I think most people didn't even notice this issue because:

- you don't reboot your device too often

- if you shake the device accidentally it might calibrate automatically

- most people do not use compass sensor too often (I personally use it once, twice per year and normally I would not notice it if not testing the device thoroughly as part of the 'new purchase checks').

So for me it is not a big deal to do 3 moves on occassion, but hopefully Samsung will solve it with OTA.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
Awesome! Great info. And I'm sure you're right on all counts. I do hope they push a fix, though.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewNY:
This isn't Samsung specific: every Android device I've ever had loses compass calibration upon reboot.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
This has never happened on any of my past Android devices: S4, S2, Evo, Photon, and Hero - the S6 is the first and only one for me that does this.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misiek_to_ja:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewNY:
Interesting.. I've experienced this 'problem' on a Nexus 5, Galaxy Nexus, G2x, etc. It never really bothered me.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
It would bother me less if there was a notification that popped up and said "Compass out of calibration, please calibrate", and then showed an animation like in misiek's link. (since the vast majority of users have no idea there is a compass in there, let alone that it needs calibration for some of their favorite apps to work.) That said, it shouldn't lose calibration.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misiek_to_ja:
I have a question to all of you having compass calibration issue. Do you happen to use a magnetic case (like magnetic closure/flap, magnetic catch holding, magnetic clips etc.) ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
No. Never have. Not on the phones that didn;t have the problem, and not on this phone that does have the problem. Very good question, though!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misiek_to_ja:
Ok, it was a long shot, but I had to ask it. All the S6 phones I checked had some kind of magnetic case, even those demonstration units in the Samsung Brand Store had these new fancy cases (Clear View Cover) and if I'm not mistaken the magnet is there as well. But anyway, for sure it is not the problem as you didn't use any such case ;) It really bothers me even though I do not use the compass too often, but I simply don't like if something is not working as expected ;) I wonder if trying the factory reset might help, but I have the whole environment set up with all the apps and settings so I'm not eager to do it now.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
The reason it's an issue for me is because walking/hiking apps and driving apps are the most common apps I use, and they are very dependent on the compass for accuracy. The first few days when Waze was acting crazy, I had no idea what the problem was since I'd never had the problem before. I'm glad I'm aware of the problem now, but is hugely inconvenient that I have to check my compass or even worry about it everyday before I head out of the house. As devices advance, we should have to think about these things less, not more. And since it's something that I haven't had a problem with even back to early 2008 Android phones, that Samsung has a faulty compass is a huge problem. It's a bigger problem, in my opinion, than which image sensor is inside.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp79:
Same problem with my AT&T Galaxy S6. I had this problem on AT&T Note 3 too. Why can't they make the stupid compass work correctly?

My cheap LG F6 and any other phones shows the direction correctly spot on. I need the compass because I use Google Maps a lot and rely on the direction to find where I'm heading.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luismix:
I'm also facing this issue and if Samsung doesn't fix it in the next update, it will be my first and last Samsung. I use the map several times per week and it's really inconvenient to bring another phone with me in order to use the GPS. I had an HTC M8 that worked flawlessly and getting this S6 might have been a mistake.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprotte24:
Any news regarding volatile magnetic compass calibration for Galaxy S6?

The last post was about one year ago,

I have a Galaxy S6 with 128GB. I am very interested in getting the Problem solved.

In theory, there is indeed the only problem is that the calibration data is stored in volatile memory and not in the non-volatile flash memory.

Even storage in a small file would be possible.

Suggested solutions:

Solution a)

Build an Interface app, that reads the magnet sensor output components and modify it with our own with our own safely stored offset values.

x1 = x_offset + m_x * x

y1 = y_offset + m_y * y

z1 = z_offset + m_z * z

x, y, z are the sensor components, uncalibrated.

m_x, m_y, m_z are nomalization factors for uniform sensitivity in all directions.

The factors can be calculated from x_max - x_min, y_max - y_min and z_max - z_min

from turning the device during clibration.

x, y1 and z1 must be passed on to the original app.

Solution b)

Store the original calibration data in nonvolatile memory before shutdown.

Restore the stored calibration data into volatile memory cells, wher it disappered.

By use of an additional autostart app?

Any other ideas?

Hi all,

I've smashed the screen on my smartwatch 2 and would like to get it fixed rather than getting a new smartwatch. Has anyone replaced the screen before? If so do you have any advice? Where can you get replacement screens from?

Thanks.

I'm wondering this also, Have a crack going straight through the center horizontally. It doesnt affect anything, but I don't even know when it happened. Looked down and it was there. figure anything out? Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch] Megatastic:
I didn't sort this out sorry. I tried the official Sony channels (I'm in Australia), and they don't repair the screens, just replace the whole piece. Not surprisingly this would cost the same as simply buying a new one. So as far as I know, these can't be repaired. I'm more than happy to be corrected though.

This happen even to me. The watch fell down from my table besides the sofa.

One air jump in about 60 centimeters...There goes my watch!

I contacted Sony support and got advice to contact repair center.

After contacted repair center I got the answer...

They don't repair any Smart Watch, but they offer me a new watch for about 1500 to 1600:- Skr.

Which in fact is the same as throw the broken watch and directly buy a new one...?

So it's hard to recommend Sony Smartwatch to my friends.

[HTC Desire X] creonx:
Hi HTC Guru's ;)

i've get a HTC Desire X from a friend, for repair service. his phone starts only in fastboot. no chance to start android.

with fastboot i have unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.

but i cant install any recovery to install stock or custom rom. all what i do fails! i'm stuck at this problem :(

what can i do now? i cant disable or enable usb debugging, because there's no rom installed.

thanks a lot ...
[HTC Desire X] RuudM:
I assume the startupscreen states S-ON and UNLOCKED.

Did you connect your phone to PC and are you flashing the recovery with the fastboot command (DOS command)? Are you sure the phone is recognized in Windows (if you are using Windows..)?
[HTC Desire X] creonx:
yes, i have tried installing TWRP via fastbooth. but nothing happens. the phone is recognized in windows. if i plugin the phone, in display i get "Fastboot USB". unlocking the bootloader was able, too.
[HTC Desire X] RuudM:
What happens when you execute 'fastboot devices'? Nothing or a number?

If nothing: which OS do you have? If Windows 8 > try another computer with a lower version.
[HTC Desire X] creonx:
I'm on way to work. Can't look now. I mean, in display stands '0123456789 device' or something like that.

It's hboot from ICS. And I have the right version of twrp.

And of course I use Windows 8.i don't have windows 7 already. :(
[HTC Desire X] RuudM:
Just to be sure, maybe I misunderstand your info: fastboot (from Google's Android SDK) is a DOS command, executed from a DOS box (phone connected USB). Are you executing the command that way?

If so, probably for sure that Windows 8 recognizing your phone is your problem if nothings happens. No laptop? Copy the fastboot.exe and your recovery-file and try to flash it on W7 or XP :silly: ("fastboot flash recovery yourtwrp-filename")
[HTC Desire X] creonx:
Yes, I do it with cmd at admin rights under win 8. I know the usage of cmd. I have successfully customized my HTC sensation and note 4 as well.
[HTC Desire X] creonx:
Can I run win7 in live mode or in a virtual machine?
[HTC Desire X] RuudM:
So, if there is no respons on 'fastboot devices' it is probably a driverproblem. If that can be solved by a virtual W7? I don't know, don't think so. Anybody else?

"As you all may now, Microsoft pushed the new driver stack in Windows 8.1 so ALL (not only USB 3.0) devices must provide a BOS descriptor. Sony ADB and Fastboot doesn't, so Windows fails to enumerate the device which is reported in Device Manager as error code 43. This also may help if you have a USB drive or mouse and it stopped working after you upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1."

There is a trick to bypass this by replacing the USB-drivers with the USB.zip files (this link). I had a bit of trouble afterwards :eek:
[HTC Desire X] Will_Xda:
Installing PDAnet seemed to work for me (tried most drivers to no avail on win8/ 8.1)

Is this the same on all USB ports? tried on a different machine yet?

Never tried on VM but I don't think it would work as it still uses the same resources (USB ports, etc.)
[HTC Desire X] creonx:
Fastboot runs. I have no driver issues. But I get some errors if I try to install twrp or roms. Without twrp, I can't install a rom. That's my problem. Not the drivers. But I understand, if Windows 8 works different in command line as Windows 7 does.

It can be possible.

I try pdanet driver, when I went home from work in round about 8 hours... So on, thanks for you help :)
[HTC Desire X] RuudM:
Aha, an error. That was not clear to me - it differs from 'nothing happens'.

Did you select the right TWRP? HBoot 1.25=JB or HBoot 1.24=ICS. Look at this page

yes i am. Kiel, Germany.

but, why ICS? aktually i think JB 'was' installed last. or does'nt it matter?
[HTC Desire X] RuudM:
Indeed, I overlooked that one! That could be the answer to the problems. On internet:

EVT, DVT, and PVT denote stages of development in the design of a manufactured product. Different companies define the goals and schedules around each stage differently, but in broad strokes:

EVT - Engineering Validation Test: Can we build several units that function as expected, meeting all functional requirements?

DVT - Design Validation Test: Can we build a lot of units that function as expected and look great, meeting all functional requirement and cosmetic/appearance requirements?

PVT - Production Validation Test: Can we build tons of units that that function as expected, look great, and go together quickly and easily every time, meeting all functional requirements, cosmetic/appearance requirements, with great manufacturability metrics, i.e. process capabilities, first pass yield, rolling throughput yield?
[HTC Desire X] realCyphox:
not sure if you need to downgrade your hboot-version for the ruus to work. unfortunately there`s no ruu for jellybean and downgrading the hboot is only possible with s-off.
