[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabobcoffee:
I am new to the Nexus line and I came from note 4 but the starting point is not good....I have the same issue of bootloop after OTA update (didn't root or did anything just tried to restart and install update). I returned two devices so far because of that bootloop and the system just keeps trying to optimize the applications. at first I get an error! during update. just yesterday I placed another new order for the Nexus 6 (I just cannot find a better phone with pure android experience ). please please let me know what to do to avoid this issue. I am not ready for rooting yet. I just want to have a clean stock android with the latest and greatest version. I heard a lot about sideloading but it seems that the steps is different in every forum I read. can someone please post instructions of how to avoid the issue also let me know if my only option is to sideload is which image should I get since I bought the Nexus from GPS Canada.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I strongly suggest, when you get your replacement, unlock the bootloader right away before setting anything else up. Afterwards, just use fastboot and flash the factory images direct from the Google development page. Also, having an unlocked bootloader makes recovery after issues easier. For whatever the reason, there have been many reports of this issue as of late. That's why it's best to just manually install the factory image.

Look in the sticky roll up thread in the nexus 6 general forum for instructions and guides. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabobcoffee:
So you are suggesting to unlock bootloader then use OTA and if it didn't work I can easily flash the image manually because I unlocked bootloader? if that's the case my question is which image should I use for the Canadian version. After checking google dev site there seems to be multiple images so which one should I flash?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm suggesting to avoid OTA all together. At least until Google figures out why so many devices are encountering this issue.

LMY48I is the image you want unless you're on T-Mobile. Then use the latest T-Mobile image.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabobcoffee:
but isn't unlocking bootloader void warranty.. I am not comfortable doing so day one of the device.. If I try OTA and then got the same issue can I sideload without having to unlock bootloader?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No, because bootloader can be relocked. It's a nexus, it's purpose is to be unlocked and developed. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabobcoffee:
I am happy to say the issue is resolved. When I received the device I did the following.

1. Didn't install it restore any apps from previous own devices.

2. Accessed developer mode and check unlock oem and USB debug.

3. Installed pc drivers and tested connection using NRT utility. (This step is optional but wanted to be safe before the update).

4. Ran the update

I got three updates. 5.1, 5.1.1 and then a security update it was about 25MB.

Thank you so much for your help here in this forum. I am glad that I am a Nexus 6 owner.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Checking unlock does nothing unless you fastboot oem unlock in bootloader. If OTA would have failed with bootloader locked you would have had a brick. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabobcoffee:
Actually that's not true. I read about it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Good for you. Tell the hundreds that posted bricks in here. You also have RMA multiple devices for the same reason. Unlock bootloader switch only allows you to do it. Does not unlock it. You just finally lucked out and got a good flash. Lol :cool:

[P3600 Software Upgrading] dave the hampster:
1) anyone out there tried SPB Backup to restore an old ROM after a WM6 flash??

2) Whats the story with some SPB Applications causing problems in WM6, in particular, does SPD Diary, Mobile shell or Phone Suite cause problems.

I know that some of these questions have probably been answered somewhere, but please be patient. Searching through all those threads for answers can take a long time.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] NeilM:
You can't restore an older ROM with a backup application, just like you wouldn't be able to use old Win XP system restores on Vista.

There are options to restore some registry entried after a ROM change, but for the most part they are unreliable, or cause hang-ups.

With regard to SpB Applications- a lot seems to depend on the combinations loaded. I've used Phone Suite, Diary and Mobile Shell together on a succession of WM6 ROMs with no bother- admittedly there is an initial memory leak, but it settles down after a few hours and is then stable on my device. Other have seen much greater instability for some reason.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] steladamo:
I have tried the spb software on several WMs. At the beginning I was really impressed with what they offer, how they look and feel and how much different they make the phone. In the process though I realised that they consume a lot of memory, (both storage and rom) and they cause severeal problems in other functions such as the Bluetooth, the today plugin, the wifi, e-mails.etc.....

Now I only use SPB Weather and nothing else (with LVSW Latest ROM) and this is only because it has a template where I can place the local weather of the area I leave, believe me if I find something else, I will do so....
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Moaske:
On WM5:

No problems whatsoever with any of the Spb softwares... :) Except PocketPlus which also under WM5 has a (though small) memory leak.

On WM6:

Huge memoryleaks (which indeed seem to settle around 18 megs free) with most applications; aspecialy with PocketPlus. Phonesuit seems to be the only app written for WM6 as well; and is the only troublefree app.

In terms of functionality and looks, the Spb software is top-notch! On the coding side however, they could have made it a little less memory- and resources-consuming... :(

But PocketPlus, PhoneSuit and Weather are that much important to me, that i switched back to WM5 this week, to have it all back troublefree.

My 2 cents...

I have rooted. I have downloaded a recovery. I have tried some apps to flash and without success. I have booted into recovery to manually flash and I have gotten a signature verification error the two times I chose from the external SD card. Anyone possibly have an idea on a way to proceed. Oh, I am without access to a computer. If there is a way to go ahead without one, please share. If I need a computer to continue, please share. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkme73:
Before trying the new official (but rooted) 5.0, I did a complete nandroid backup of my existing 4.4.4. I don't recall what version of TWRP was used for that backup, but it was fairly current.

I used Odin to flash the new 5.0, and 2.8.6.0 of TWRP.

I've had real issues (i.e. no xposed framework, crashing Pandora, etc) that make me want to step back from 5.0.

Last night, I went to TWRP, did a full Nandroid backup of 5.0 (selecting all possible options, just as I had when I backed up 4.4.4), and let'er rip.

After the backup, I did a restore of the 4.4.4. However, that put me into a constant boot loop on the very first graphic (Samsung Note 4). I tried restoring to factory, wiping everything, fixing permissions, etc. But nothing would get me beyond the boot loop.

Fortunately, I was able to restore the 5.0 backup I had just made, but now I'm stuck.

Is there anything else I can try to get my original 4.4.4 Nandroid to restore? Perhaps trying an older version of TWRP? Ultimately, I'm disappointed enough in 5.0, that I would Odin flash a stock 4.4.4 and rebuild using my Titanium Backup backups. I was just hoping there's a good workaround to the boot loop issue before I waste a day doing that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meowone:
When I downgraded from lollipop, I had to Odin stock nk4 before restoring my nandroid from TWRP. I tried to restore directly but it didn't work for me. Restore works flawless after Odin back to stock nk4 with TWRP recovery. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkme73:
That sounds encouraging. When it didn't work for you directly, what were the symptoms?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiverCity.45:
No work-around. You'll have to Odin KikKat firmware to revert.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
No twrp back up will work going backwards.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkme73:
Thanks a ton guys. That was it. I flashed stock, rooted with cf, and installed TWRP - all from Odin w/o ever bringing the phone up. Then restored from within TWRP, and first go, it all came back. Heroes... all of you.

Thx.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Another tip. If you're going to restore a backup or flash a custom ROM after Odin stock firmware, you don't need to cf auto root. Just Odin flash twrp and you'll be good to go.
[Moto X Q&A] fishline:
I've had an intermitten problem with bluetooth connection between my Moto X (xt1058) and 2013 Focus. From time to time, when I try to make calls or receive incoming calls while the phone is connected to the car, no sound comes out. The other party can hear me, but I hear nothing (not even the ring when calling out). Eventually I found if I switch the sound to the ear speaker, I can hear. If I switch to the speakerphone, no sound, either. Simply rebooting the phone solves the problem. However, that's a real nuisance! The strange thing is, I have two xt1058, and both exhibit the same problem. Both are on stock 4.4.4, not rooted.

Has anyone experience this? I don't know if it's the phone or the car. Unfortunately I don't have another car with bluetooth to try, and it doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes it happens a few times a week. Sometimes it's fine for a few weeks in a row. My wife never run into that problem with her iphone.

BTW, the bt connection is only for phone, no media.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 0-0-0:
I'm looking for a notification mod that would allow me to maintain the look of the lockscreen when I switch my phone on (Note 4 910f).

I've just updated to Lp 5.01 using this custom ROM and noticed the clock/weather/user info etc display is different when the phone is first switched to when it has been unlocked and I return to the lockscreen.

Please see the attachment.

The image on the left is from when I switch it on, and I see the full clock/weather display.

And the image on the right, shows the lockscreen after it's been unlooked and I return to the lockscreen, but the clock has been compressed, there's no weather, pedometer, user info etc.

I still want to receive email/text type notifications on the lockscreen and I still want status bar notifications for apps (like for example AF+ Firewall in this case).

I've tried to disable AF+ Firewall's notifications, but it disables them all (status bar and notification panel) by using "Settings -> Sounds and Notifications -> Application Notifications"

I just need something that displays notifications underneath the full sized clock.

Thank you for any help.
[Xposed Framework Modules] android404:
I don't know if this helps you: I use "lock screen clock mods" to alter the clock, then I prevent the notifications from showing on the lockscreen to then show them in "nils" (notifications on lockscreen) instead. This is what it looks like on both the locked and the unlocked lockscreen:http://imgur.com/UFFcdHg

Edit: I don't know is the nils part is necessary, it just looks best for me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 0-0-0:
Thank you for the reply and help :)

I've just tried "lock screen clock mods", but whatever changes I make to the clock, it doesn't alter anything when I apply it (also rebooting).

I'm not sure what you mean by "nils", Is that altering a value to zero somewhere in the code?

I've also tried "NotifyClean", but that doesn't stop any notifications on the lock screen, but does when the phone is in use.
[Xposed Framework Modules] android404:
I disabled the notifications completely in the rom: "Settings -> notifications and sounds -> when screen is locked". They don't show on my (stock Sony) lock screen even when unlocked. With Nils I mean this app and I don't know why the mods don't work for you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 0-0-0:
Yes, I know those settings.

I've just tried "Nils". It sort of works.

If I disable a specific apps in "Settings -> notifications and sounds -> when screen is locked", I loose the icon in the status bar, which I want to keep.

If I don't disable it, when on the lock screen, I get a notification at the top of the screen and a repeat in Nils.

I think something needs fixing in Lp, to do want I want it to do.

I think I need to go back to KK or wait for Lp 5.1.1. or M.

Hi all!

Sorry if I posted this wrong section.

So my wife had a S3 and she dropped so in the screen there is a tiny crack, but the screen show just black screen so I dont know the touchscreen recognize touch or not. The phone can turn on and off but there is a PIN and screen security (pattern) so KIES just show connecting, connecting. She do not have samsung acc to unlock the phone via web.

So there is an option (adb or somethin) to pull out the phone numbers from the cracked phone?

Somebody try the Motorola S705 SoundPilot earpiece with HTC P3600??? i want to buy this earpieces.
[P3600 Accessories] shebuj:
MOTOROLA S705 WITH HTC HD2- just gr8

Bought the S705 Motorola pendant stereo head set for the HTC Hd2 and it is just great, though the phone voice is a whey little low, music is just great with the ear piece that comes along, I use a Bose ear phone, for lovely music and sound quality.

Paring is quick, establishes the ADVP to the phone & restablishes itself after the device has been switched off & on again.

With the FM an added advantage. If anyone likes to use it with their HTC devices do go ahead, but if you are looking for style then dont, the S705 is like a little mp3 player hanging on your neck... awkward. I dont mind, though.

The Philiphs SBH7100 which has a higher volume to the S705 is good too but the battery life is too low.

good luck

Hi guys,

I think rain x is for glass, but will it be okay to apply it on xperia z ultra anti shatter film?

I don't want to remove the film as i like the sony logo and added protection.

I just want to apply on the front.

Thanks a lot!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
if u decide to go with "rain x" or whatever that is...sound like a stereotype american brand...anyway u might want to get a bottle of rain x for plastic instead if you wont remove the asf

https://rainx.com/product/plastic-water-repellent/rain-x-plastic-water-repellent/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sw6lee:
Aww that sucks. I don't want to buy another product just for plastic LOL. i don't want to remove the film either.

How do you find the front ASF on z Ultra? How does it handle fingerprints? In summer my hands are really sweaty.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
The asf scratch easily, the oliofobic wore off in like three months and at about 2/3 down the screen there was a horizontal dull and almost har d to see through line where my fingers had been swiping in many apps. So I took it off about a year ago.

Without its a nightmare. Its completely dull. There is no finish to the glass due to that the asf needed the rough surface to bond to. I have been using Gtechnic kit and it does very well. Its a product most used in sports cars and airplanes but it can be used to anything you like as long as it sticks to the surface.

..But not enough. Probably the best solution would be to have proper buffing equipment and buff the surface until its smooth as crystal glass.

Anyhow I tried a set off those hardened glass protector and thats what im using at the moment. The phone is now two years old so I dont really care much about it. If it dents it dents, if the glass cracks it cracks. Im not spending money on it any longer.

Mocolo http://glass4m.com/product/mocolo-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z-ultra/

Edit: Oh yeah I forgot to mention the mocolo glass panels also add a bit of ...or very much to make the phone much more rigid! The z ultra is very easy to bend in half but with them mounted its much much more rigid and harder to bend. It feels more like a premium device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sw6lee:
Can i apply the glass screen protector on top of asf? And if the oleophobic coating of the screen protector fades in a few months apply rainx?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
its a common question. As I understand the touch sensitivity is not an issue when applying screen protector onto the asf. So you should be fine.

And Yes typicly rainx should work. But the oleophobic wont wear of the glass screen protector.. not what I have noticed at least.

[Moto X Q&A] Ninjaboy837:
Hey guys bout to beat my head against a wall on this one.

A buddy of mine "tired" to replace his front glass on his Moto X and ended up destroying it. Apparently he cooked it pretty well with a hair dryer on high in the process of trying to the glass off and fried the LCD and digitizer and possibly more. Anyway he brought me over a bag of parts and asked if i could retrieve his data. He was running unrooted stock with a locked bootloader and I'm assuming debugging turned off but not sure.

So this is the part i start hitting my head against the wall. After reassembling it without the LCD/digitizer assembly pluged in, I pluged it in via USB and it installs it's self as a MOTOROLA PHONE, and seams to be using the USB INPUT and HID Compliant Vendor Defined Device drivers. I cant for the life of me get it to use the right drivers. I've installed Motorola's driver/device manager and run the Motorola driver installer but nothing is working.

Really don't know that much about the Moto X as I don't own one myself but i'd assume that it should install as a specific device and not a generic MOTOROLA PHONE as well as using MTP drivers instead of USB INPUT

Basically though, short of the driver issues, my main question is. Is there anyway of pulling data from a headless, bootloader locked, ADB disabled device? I personally don't think there is but just in case i thought i'd ask.

Would rather not buy a new LCD/Digitizer assembly for $70 if the main board got fried from the heat of the hairdryer, but might have to if there's no other way, at least then I could see what going on.

Have checked though the forms and didn't see any other similar topics on this, so if I missed it please link it.

Thanks ahead of time.

[Moto X Q&A] Bhargav4591:
Now , I'm not a hardware specialist or anything ,but , do you suppose you could somehow "Directly" access data from the NAND chip ?

Ref: " https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola+Moto+X+Teardown/16867 "
[Moto X Q&A] mrmidnight:
I did a little research on the NAND chip, unfortunately there is an NDA in place, so you probably won't be able to find out what the pins are to access it. I have been wrong before. Problem with using the hair dryer on high is that heat=energy in motion, which can cause electron flow.

If your friend didn't take appropriate precautions, ie grounding himself, ESD pad, dry hands, it is possible he shorted the entire assembly, and all his data is destroyed, especially if he didn't disconnect the battery.

Finally, the bag of parts=sensitive electrical components in a heavily charged static bag. Chances are that could've killed any chance of getting data.

The reason that your computer is recognizing the device as a Motorola Phone and that is it is as a failsafe, the processor isn't completely dead and is doing what it can to help you, by trolling you.

Good Luck!
[Moto X Q&A] tormin:
I picked up a 4.4.2 Moto X with a bad battery and a bad (broken panel, no display) screen assembly. It did the same as what you're describing when hooked up via USB. After installing a good battery and plugging in a working screen it booted right up without any trouble. Before the parts the phone would light a green LED in the earpiece when plugged into the charger. Unless he really super baked the crap out of it you can probably get it working with a screen and possibly a battery.

If you do need a screen I was looking at the $52 dollar option on ebay myself before I found another option, it's auction number 251892071870 .

You'd be able to run the recovery by pressing all three buttons when the device is off to get to the bootloader. Then when you guess that its loaded press volume down once, then volume up once. Then wait 10-30 seconds for recovery to load

I might just have to try that, i did notice with the battery out and connected via USB the phone shows up as a USB INPUT, but as soon as you plug in the battery and the X8 computing system then it switches to MOTOROLA PHONE.
