plz tell me how you fixed

i also have same problem plz tell me how you fixed it plz
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] eapl:
Thanks a lot!!! All other methods didn't work.
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] Niksda:
Maybe late to the party, but I have gotten a z9 mini from someone which already had a twrp on it, when I tried to do it. So I wiped everything (unfortunately including system) and wanted to flash a rom.

It always gives me the same error:

Also in bootloader mode it says the phone is fused (which is some sort of locked bootloader, or what is it / does it mean?)

While your at it: Anyone know what eload mode is ?

Or Nubia emergency recovery (Which i probably removed by wiping)
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] simrim1:
Hi,

Hope you are doing good. Will you please share this 1.16 bootloader ROM with me? I am also facing the same issue and no ROM is working on my Nubia z9 mini. I will be very grateful to you for your help. Thx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroideDOC:
Hi everybody,

Sorry for my bad english. I'm 14 and i want learn to develop android applications etc..

So i decided to start porting the android M preview (nexus 5) to the N9005, but with the guide that i found in this forum i can't because the folders that are in the preview and the new cyanogenmod (used for base rom) aren't equal to the tutorial. So, can someone make a porting of the preview to the note 3 ?

I don't know if this is the right place to make a question, i can't ask in the development thread because i'm new here.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evak2979:
Hello everyone :)

Long story short, I decided to upgrade and went with an M9 (or three), and each one had a different problem. All of them suffered from light leaks, the last one stuck pixel too. The camera is poor, so I am weighing my options. Coming from a G3, my obvious choice would be a G4 but...BUT !

I have managed to find the Exynos variant of the Note 4 for about 378 pounds, brand new and sealed. My question is (for current users) - would you consider it future proof? Is it still snappy, good, and a good investement for another year or so? Would you recommend it over the G4?

Many thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newsama:
Well, I was in the same boat as you: Wanted to upgrade from my G3 because I had the 2GB variant, it was a lagfest with launcher redraws and apps closing all the time. AOSP had good performance but also had bugs and the camera sucked.

So I found the Exynos Note 4 for a good prince in my area and decided to take the plunge even though I never owned a samsung phone before, and bought it based on the interest I had on the Note II back then and some superficial reviews I've had read about it.

I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever, the Note 4 definitely feels like an upgrade from the G3. It's faster, the screen has better colors and contrast, better visibility in the sun, and touchwiz came a long way from the old days where it was regarded as one of the worst manufacturer skins to android. The note 4 has many features that amazed me, including the best one-hand mode implementation so far.

I say go with it, you won't be disappointed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OnlinePredator:
If you have a choice NEVER go for exynos ESPECIALLY if you want to root/flash roms later on. If you are fine with stock rom then it doesn't matter which you go for. Just know that stock is a little laggy no matter which variant you go for.

I hated the lag and finally installed CM and am not looking back, you can get SPEN functionality on AOSP roms now too so not really an issue. CM FLIES on note 4, so fast!!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newsama:
Maybe I should've worded my post differently. The snapdragon isn't available in my area, so there was no option of choosing variants. Exynos has no aosp, but SimplRom is pretty fast and yet has all the built in spen functionality.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foggydisaster:
I seek a kind advice, I currently have a 2GB G3 and i am looking to upgrade (as i wont have an opportunity to do that in future) Been deciding between an iphone 6plus and note 4, or basically any other big phone. So should i go for a note 4 or a different device? My main concern is if the note will be a solid choise for about 2 years or so.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sectoras:
Get the exynos, the CPU will be cooler therefore you will have no underclock due to high temps like 4 core snapdragon. Also a dev here (sorry i dont remember his name) is working on CM for our phone with exynos chip. But i really don't feel like i need to change the stock samsung rom so bad, some guys here are drowning on a teaspoon of water. Note 4 is one of the best phones atm, go for it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RISHI RAJ:
Well,oneplus two will be a lot cheaper than Note 4 exynos
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sectoras:
By the way it's rumored oneplus two will have the snapdragon 810. This chip has overheating issues.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foggydisaster:
Well oneplus one costs about as much as exynos note 4 here, it is cheaper but the difference is not that big so i think that oneplus two will be about the same price as a note

Oh yeah, the controversial snapdragon 810 lol.. I almost forgot that oneplus two will have it

[Nexus 6  General] deathshead:
In every phone sub forum here @ XDA there is one of these "the phone screen cracked itself" threads it seems.

There had to have been some sort of torque or pressure exerted in such a way that it cracked, extreme temperature change etc.

Phones screens don't just break themselves. Furthermore do you think it was a wise decision to purchase a $799 device, a device which you probably use more than any other device you own to have some sort of insurance coverage for damage such at this?

Everyone whines about Verizon but having asurion coverage has paid for it self many times.

You have a new device fedexed pretty much no questions asked.
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
Ok, since it was on your second day of owning the thing, why not just tell them that it was cracked when you opened the box?

Also, check with your credit card company. They may actually cover this kind of thing. They rarely TELL you about this kind of protection, since it costs them when you use it, but it could be there nevertheless. Worth asking.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

Missing intended "NOT" in there notwithstanding, the insurance argument is bullpoop.

You *NEVER* win by buying insurance. Only the insurance companies win. Think about it for just a second... if they didn't TAKE IN MORE money than they pay out, they would not be OFFERING insurance, since there would be nothing in it for the insurance company. Insurance only exists because the consumer is a retarded sucker.

Buy 10 things that cost $100 each, with $25 insurance. You smash one of those things and the insurance forks out $25 to *repair/refurb* it.

1) You've spent $250 in buying insurance to obtain a $25 payout.

2) The payout for THAT unit didn't even exceed the cost of insuring THAT unit.

3) You COULD have bought 2.5 NEW $100 things (including the updated version of the thing that broke) for the money.

Yeah, maybe once in a LONG while, you get an insurance payout, but it will NEVER add up to all the PREMIUMS you pay.

Thing to do; instead of buying insurance on things, take the money you WOULD be spending on insurance, and put it into a "would-have-been-insurance" savings account, or even better, some kind of investment. When something you have breaks, get it fixed with the money in that account. Watch as the balance grows -- eventually, you'll notice that there is enough money in that account to buy a new car AND a boat. Pick just ONE and keep saving the rest.
[Nexus 6  General] deathshead:
Between myself and the wife I have had atleast 5 phones replaced over the years., Works for us,

I would spend the $$ on your "would have been insurance account" on dumb stuff like beer and toys. lol
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
Crack started at the end that intersects the volume button. The volume button is a soft spot on the phone. This is what pockets do to big phones, especially when you have additional things in the pocket with the phone, like keys. Warranty does not apply.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

beer and toys... yeah, well if you can afford beer and toys, you can probably afford to buy new stuff occasionally anyway. Either way, I promise you that you've spent way more on insurance over the years than they've paid out, and I don't mean just phones, I mean everything, including whatever "extra" insurance you have on your car, etc. (it is unfortunate that we are legally required to carry liability insurance on a car, even when you can actually afford to pay out more than the required coverage)
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
you bought the nexus 6 for $700? lol which company ripped you off? i wouldnt have gotten it for that price..for a phone that is almost a year old..the nexus 6 runs for $500 and sometimes cheaper nowadays
[Nexus 6  General] Corvin666:
That's a good idea. I bought it from Google Play - somehow I didn't notice any kind of protection options on there...

That would be LYING :)

Seriously - I think that's easily traceable. I've been installing app and using Google services...

I am not buying that. Gorilla glass should be tougher than this. My pants are not that tight, plus where are you suggesting to carry a big phone?

Google Store https://store.google.com/product/nexus_6

Interestingly enough, it is $500 there now...

NEW DEVELOPMENT!

Spent about an hour yesterday playing Mortal Kombat on the phone. The phone heated up and turned off while there still was about 10% of battery life left. I twiddled it in my hands and noticed the back cover separating from the plate (attached a picture)

I guess I am seeing the infamous battery expansion issue. I bet screen was the first thing that gave, the glue that rear cover has ended up being stronger, but not much. Will see what Google/Motorola says about this. Given the price drop will try pushing for a refund
[Nexus 6  General] 1PATRIK:
I think that video is about HTC not N6
[Nexus 6  General] JasonJoel:
Interesting. I was in the 'screens don't crack themselves' camp. But I can see how a bulging battery could do it...
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
1) That would depend on them actually pulling the data together, which is unlikely (especially since india that handles the phone doesn't have access to the full google database...)

2) That it came with a crack doesn't necessarily mean that you don't turn it on to make sure you actually like it.

I can't imagine why it is that you believe that a piece of HARDENED and UNCOMMONLY BRITTLE glass that is a fraction as thick as a sheet of paper would somehow be able to magically withstand being twisted in your pocket.

Its on sale, and that is 32GB. The 64GB "regular" price remains $700.

1) Its a flexible plastic back cover that is "glued" on with sticky goo.

2) Observe how it is lifting not all that particularly far from those same buttons where the side is weakest and the screen cracked from....

Hmm.... coincidence?
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
Not true! the 64GB version is also on sale for $150 off, so it's $549.00.
[Nexus 6  General] Corvin666:
So what are you saying? I'm a guy with superstrong pants and I can twist phones in my pockets with no hands? Maybe I should go on a tour doing that?

This is ridiculous, seriously. Phones are designed to withstand stress much harder than that caused by putting them in a jeans pocket. Plus, I never carry phones in back pocket, I always had it in my side pocket. Try getting an old phone and twist it with your hands until it breaks. I bet you would be surprised by how much force is needed.

My theory - battery expansion caused unusual pressure on the glass which got twisted too far and cracked. Probably was not the best specimen of Gorilla Glass out there as well. Now that glass had shifted into new pressure limit range and the battery keeps expanding, it is pushing against the back cover and now the adhesive on the back cover is the weak spot.

Which theory makes more sense? Superpants or defective battery?
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
Exactly.

And it is on sale at motorola.com where you can buy the MotoCare policy with the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Corvin666:
So here is the picture of my car keys. The only metal thing here is the ring that connects keys to the tracker. What do you think needs to happen for those car keys to crack Nexus 6 screen?

Valid point about Motorola, though, shame I hadn't researched before buying - probably should've just ordered it from them.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
Why do you think only metal can crack a screen?
[Nexus 6  General] Corvin666:
So looks like this is resolved. After spending 1,5 accumulated hours with Google and Motorola support, Google agreed to replace the device with a new one and refund the price difference. I'm satisfied with the outcome, but am concerned about the issues I might face with the new device... I still think that N6 is an amazing device and I particularly enjoyed the screensize and the stereo speakers. My old N5 looks so tiny and toyish compared to that one.

Anyway, let this thread be a warning for all the future buyers. There are things to watch out for. Fortunately, seems that they surface pretty quickly. Just make sure you spend a few hours playing Mortal Kombat X to warm that sucker up.
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
Appart from the naysayers, I believe you got a lemon. The problem is, good luck trying to get a replacement for that. Nowadays, getting a smartphone is like winning the lottery. You never know if the screen has microfractures that lead to cracks, non-replaceble batteries and bad assembly leading to the batteries swelling and etc etc.

Its the price you pay for when companies outsource their production to developing countries with no sense of worker rights, clean enviroments, etc.

Jeans are tough pants. The phone is very large. Have you ever heard of Archimedes? If he wasn't an ancient dead guy, he'd tell you that the longer the edge of the object gets, the more leverage you have and the easier it will be to apply damaging force against it.

In fact, one of the complaints about apple6+ phone (which actually has the same outside dimensions as Nexus 6, despite its smaller screen) is exactly this... that girls wearing SPANDEX were BENDING the phone at the weak point where the side buttons are.

https://www.google.com/search?q=app...ChMI9tno8JOFxgIVlS2MCh3pfACs&biw=1769&bih=799

You've got your, obviously much tougher Nexus 6, with the same physical dimensions, in JEANS pocket, able to apply significantly MORE force to the thing.... you don't expect a problem there?

Nexus 6 isn't a PANTS POCKET phone. Nexus 6 is a HOLSTER/BRIEFCASE phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Corvin666:

[Nexus 6  General] stumpy352:

[Nexus 6  General] dougstoner:
I work in the curtain wall industry. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's the aluminum structure (and glass) that make up the outside of a skyscraper. There is a phenomenon where there can be inclusions nickel sulfide, and 1" glass panels (1/4" glass, 1/2" air space, and 1/4" glass) can explode/shatter on their own, due to this inclusion. Now, I don't know exactly how the glass is made in our phones, but in our industry, heat strengthened, tempered, annealed, etc, all can shatter by themselves. It's not due to thermal expansion from the heat, this has happened in laboratory settings in a controlled environment. Customers can even pay extra to have the glass heat soaked, which will break the glass if these inclusions are present in the lab (before it's shipped out). It's more expensive, but also safer when you think about it. Having glass fall from a 100 story building is extremely dangerous. So, it is possible.
[Nexus 6  General] Morpherios:
Really sucks about your phone. Unfortunately I don't really have much to offer to "fix" the situation.

I ended up getting what I consider to be "cosmetic" scratches on my screen. They appeared within a week or so. I don't have a case on the phone (had it for around a month and a half. I just really prefer the "naked" feel). I am really careful with the phone, not sure where the scratches came from. You can't feel them with your finger/thumb just gliding over it like you'd use it normally. But if you drag your nail across it you can feel where it hangs up on it. Nothing was ever in the same pocket as the phone. To be honest I'm not even 100% positive it wasn't there when I bought it. I only noticed it one day when it caught the light just right.

With that said, I was also outside at a picnic/birthday party, playing catch with a little kid. I had the phone in my front right pocket by itself as always. Pair of fairly tight jeans on. Kid threw the ball, horrible throw, to be goofy and make her laugh I went and took a running dive/tumble to catch the ball. Rolled right over the phone hard enough that my pants literally split from upper thigh to knee due to the impact, in the same pocket my phone was in. About had a heart attack. Got up, dusted off, covered my shame ( :o ) and inspected my phone to find out that it was completely unaffected. I landed hard on that thing, and the screen was out.

The durability of this thing confuses the hell out of me.

[Nexus 6  General] dougstoner:
I never said skyscraper glass was made out of Gorilla glass anywhere in my post. Both types of glass go through similar treatments being heated, etc. I'm simply saying nickel sulfide inclusions can be part of the mixture, which can cause failures on their own. All I'm saying is it is possible the glass can break on it's own. There are documented cases of this happening with skyscrapers, as well as phones.

From one of those articles:

Gorilla Glass

1.Durable,safe,environment friendly

2.High quality at low price

3.Decoration for building

4.Good to know

=============================================================================

Features:

Fully-Tempered Glass:

1,About four times stronger than normal float glass of same thickness

2,Better resistance to thermally induced stress

3,Typically breaks into classic tiny piece pattern

4,Occasionally can experience spontaneous breakage due to nickel sulfide inclusion.

Heat-Strengthened Glass:

1,About two times stronger than normal float glass of same thickness

2,Good resistance to thermal loads than normal float glass

3,Typically breaks into larger pieces

4 ,Less prone to spontaneous breakage than tempered glass Product Specification;

From the other article:

We did a little Research and one of the reason of the screen explosion could be the Gorilla Glass used in the Droid 2 (also used in the Droid and the Nokia N8).

Spontaneous glass breakage is a phenomenon by which toughened glass (or tempered) may spontaneously break without any apparent reason. The most common causes are:

Minor damage during installation such as nicked or chipped edges which later develop into larger breaks

Binding of the glass in the frame causing stresses to develop as the glass expands and contracts due to thermal changes or deflects due to wind

Internal defects within the glass such as nickel sulfide inclusion.

Thermal stresses in the glass

Inadequate glass thickness to resist wind load

I sat on my phone and nothing cracked
[Nexus 6  General] nooomoto:
This happened to my Nokia 1520 (also a large device)...I noticed the phone itself wouldn't lay flat on a flat surface. The phone was bent. One day I pulled the phone out of my gym pants and the glass was shattered (phone was in soft pants pocket by itself)...best I can figure is the glass bent when no longer supported by the chassis and broke.
