[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragnarom:
I had an n6, switched to the s6, then a month later back to the n6.

The s6 was a solid phone, looks amazing and smooth as hell, my fav phone ive ever owned

But eventually i missed the big screen of the nexus and the bigger battery. I was charging the s6 about 2 times a day, and i got tired of it. Also i missed being able to customize my phone, but the stock s6 isnt bad at all so i didnt miss it too much.

Overall id say go with the n6 cause the battery life on the s6 will get annoying after a while.

Me personally i probably wouldve stayed on the s6 if they had a bigger battery.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KetOfficial:
Thanks! So far

N6 Has better:

Battery Life

Software (No TW)

S6 Has better:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KetOfficial:
To be honest, I've looked through all the phones I could get that are the latest and greatest (Except iPhones) And I got stuck, N6 or S6? Some things are better on N6 some are better on S6 and thats why im stumped, Price DOES NOT matter to me because of my contact I have, but I really need to know what people perfer, as of now I think I want a N6 because I hate TouchWiz, but either way they'll both end up on some rom like CyanogenMod 12.1... I also dont really care for the look or feel because I'll be getting a case anywhere, so It really comes down to specs, battery life, software(on N6), and stuff like that,

Also: Is it true what N6 (and all Nexus's) get updates before the Samsungs?

Thanks for all the help! - Ket
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragnarom:
Camera. S6 camera is so damn beautiful

And the design is sexxy ;)

Also the screen is the best screen ive ever seen on any smartphone, and has better viewing in sunlight.

The s6 performs better stock as well. Gaming on the n6 for has been mediocre, but with a custom kernel that problem goes away. The s6 performs top notch out of the box, no customizing needed.

Ill answer this as well so i can get my post count up...lol

If you want cm12, n6 is best. Cm12 likely wont come for the s6 anytime soon, if ever because of the type of processor used.

And yes, n6 get updates before any other phone.

So it looks like you need an n6

Here's the deal here, Samsung put a blocker on many things the flashaholic loves..they have their Knox, warranty void when rooted, don't share sources for things like camera HAL, and if you're unlucky enough not get an exynos version, no sources for that either.

If custom AOSP roms is your thing, nexus hands down...

Other than that list which pros mean most to you and see which has the most.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lepa79:
I had S3, note 3 and note 4 until 2 weeks ago when I decided to give N6 a try. I love big screens and now can not go back to none stock android. It's just an Awsome experience.

Yes, S6 is a beautiful and great phone. But after having a 6 inch screen, any phone with screen less than 5.7 feels like a child's toy to me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I apologise in advance for being pedantic, you're going to hate me :)

You can't say "none stock" as a comparison to other phones. Stock means unmodified as in, how it left the factory, shipped and is "in Stock". I think what you meant was "None vanilla". The Nexus 6 has Vanilla Android as stock. But All phones have a "stock" OS, whether it is vanilla or otherwise. Touchwiz is Stock on a Samsung. You can install Vanilla too (AOSP).

I know it's only a minor inaccuracy and I'm being pedantic by bringing it up, but since people quite regularly confuse Vanilla and Stock as synonyms, it does confuse noobs here when different people mean different things when they say stock - so it's best to use it correctly :)

So yeah, The official ROM for every phone is a Stock ROM. Custom ROMs can either be based on the stock ROM for that phone or on AOSP, which would be a Vanilla Android ROM.

(Sorry)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lepa79:
No worries. I completely agree with you on Stock vs Vanilla. I stand corrected. So, yes, I am loving "vanilla" android and nexus 6 is a great hardware to complement that.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burky1996:
I really messed my phone up its got no OS and its stuck in bootloop iv tried pushing cm-12 onto it and installing it but i keep getting error codes with what you see in the picture. can anyone help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] its the peanut:
Try re download the zip (or try an other rom)maybe you just got an false download. i also had some trouble with my m7 back in the day.

But in your case now you are stuck with no os or bootloop, i give you as advice to follow an soft unbrick method it worked for me, or if you have an usb otg cable and usb or and usb otg thumbstick, put the rom on that usb and connect it to your phone and then try to flash it (if your using twrp you have an option to choose from wich storage you want to use)

Also a piece of advice, when flashing roms, kernels etc please have your phone charged above 50% (just in case).

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Also make sure you downloaded the rom made for your phone model!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Can you please post the output of

fastboot getvar all

please remove your imei and serial number.

Depending on which variant of the M7 you have you probably just need a different version of recovery to install a CM rom. I think they prefer TWRP 2.7.x.x. Post the getvar and we can see what you have. then I can give you a better informed instruction. :good:

P.s also check the md5 of the rom zip you downloaded. Use this tool www.winmd5.com the correct md5 should be listed with the link you downloaded the rom from
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
failed to mount /dev/block/blah blah blah = needs "block:by-name" support which twrp 2.6.3.3 doesn't have

everything explained here

So update your recovery

and do what danny said above so he can confirm you have the right rom/recovery for your device.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Your getvar looks fine this rom should work fine with your device. Download this version of TWRP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358561860 (2.7.1.2). dropthe file in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Once thats done reflash the rom with the new version of TWRP. It should flash just fine :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burky1996:
iv managed to flash cm12.1 now, thanks guys, is there anyway i could get the HTC software back on.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
There are a number of ways to return to stock software. You can simply flash a stock rom through twrp or use a stock nandroid. look for rom that match your version main. 7.19.401.22

I think there is even an lollipop 7.19.401.22 RUU for your device but I'm not sure if it will work with s-on though because it's a zip but it certainly wouldnt hurt to try it though. You will need to relock your bootloader and flash it with fastboot.

I'll edit this post with links when I find them unless some one beats me to it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burky1996:
Hey Dan do you think we could skype and you could talk me through it, it would be much easier?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Sorry I am at work so availability is scetchy. I found the ruu but it's for the older 7.19.401.2 lollipop, this won't work for you because your s-on. Downgrading firmware is only possible with s-off.

You can use this stock rom though http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/development/rom-100-pure-stock-5-0-2-7-19-401-2-t3044041 just flash it with twrp. The thread recommends TWRP 2.8.5.X no need to relock the bootloader or anything silly, just flash it like any other rom :good:

You'll notice that this rom is also for the older 7.19.401.2 so you will need to install the last OTA update to bring your rom in line with your firmware. Flash this recovery with the same method as twrp. (Stock recovery required for installing the OTA) http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/Recovery/STOCK/7.19.401.2_recovery.img/download reboot then just go to Settings>About>Check for updates.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burky1996:
i did what you said when i applied the system update my phone turned on booted to a white screen with the green htc logo then it turned off the battery symbol came up its like its turned off. i tryed to lock the boot loader to see if it would work then but it never, when i appy the update it dosent even boot into the recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Okay try this. Download the OTA but select the option "Install Later" connect your m7 to your pc and browse your storage. In the download folder on your phone you should find the OTA in zip format. Copy it to your pc.

Now open the OTA zip on your pc. Inside you'll find another zip called "firmware.zip" extract it then open it. Inside you'll find a recovery.img. extract the recovery file and flash it with fastboot. Now reboot to android and continue to install the OTA. :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burky1996:
im going to have to unlock the boot loader again and then do it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yes you will need to unlock the bootloader to flash the recovery, Dont forget to fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery that is cruicial. You don't need to be relocked to install the OTA though.

When you select install now, the device should reboot to the Stock Recovery. At first the screen will just be black for a short while. Then you'll see an image of a phone with a Green ring and download arrow. If you hold Volume up and press the power button you will see the Stock Recovery and its progress in installing the OTA.

I'm not sure why your device was hanging on boot after installing the OTA. Maybe a bad recovery.img. that's why I say to get the recovery from the OTA file.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burky1996:
its still not working so i mite just install twrp and restore to cm12.1
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burky1996:
could it be not working coz my hboot has changed to 1.51.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Your still stuck with this? Try starting the process over, but do not relock your bootloader at any point.

Wipe system data and cache partitions with TWRP Advanced wipe

Flash the Rom with twrp as a clean install.

Reboot and download the OTA. Choose install later, then copy the OTA to your pc. Extract the Stock Recovery and flash it with fastboot. Reboot and install the OTA.

But do not relock your boot loader. Because when you unlock the bootloader, it wipes the device including the data/preload folder. If the preload folder is not intact the OTA will fail ;)

Sounds like a hard reset is in order for you sorry to say :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hmotwr:
Actually your current ROM may be uncompatible with custel's cingular apps, I had the same problem with few other ROM's and it was solved with Black Dymond 3.5 and LVSW latest. You may have to change your ROM if you want to use those apps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Madcap180:
Im using stock Heremes ROM .. official one
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mfabre:
My appologies if I am stating the obvious, but...

If you are using an "official" HTC ROM, then it is WM5. Weren't Custel's Cingular customizations made for WM6 ROMs only?

Should this be the case, a hard reset may be your only option.

EDIT: I just looked at your signature... how can Black Shadow be a "Stock Hermes ROM, official one"?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ScottC:
Did you install anything recently? There may be some apps out there that do this. Installed pocket mechanic by any chance?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hmotwr:
Believe me, it's your ROM that is uncompatible with custel's cingular apps.

Hard reset your device, and if you want to use them, install a ROM that is compatible. Do a little search on the forum to find a ROM that best fits you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Madcap180:
Mfabre, don't be a smartass, obviously I didn't change my signature...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ribdool:
lol omg zomg harry potter etc..

Last time you insisted you were running the official rom you were on a jj's black shadow rom .. - As it said in your signature we are capable of reading, Now that you have changed your signature you know fullywell it backedits your previous posts.

Clearly the situation is you have flashed a new rom from black too custels, and run into issues. I will not disgrace noobs with associating you with them, your being rude and deceptive to people trying to assist.

I vote +b
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Madcap180:
like I was TRYING to say... I DIDNT CHANGE MY SIGNATURE WHEN I FLASHED BACK TO OFFICIAL ROM .. O .. I would say .. 2 days ago.. gee I'm sorry.. I have SINCED changed it.. because I DIDN'T want idiot nitpicking.. Does it matter what my signature says? If I say I am running a certain ROM in a POST then that is what I am running.. I can say in my signature I am a billionaire.. does it MEAN I AM? no .. pay attention to my POSTS.. not my signature.. Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gerald_s:
Instead of calling mfabre smartass you should better read his post once again.

IF you are running an official HTC Rom, THEN its WM5 AND its possible that Custels customization is not working with WM5.

You can find the solution in mfabre's, austinsync's and hmotwr posts.

Got it now?

Edit: Apparently you flashed Custels ultimate in the meantime cause you are posting in that thread too. Are your problems solved or not?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Madcap180:
Problems were solved with WM5.. which is why I stopped posting in this thread.. lol.
[General Questions and Answers] JamesObZ:
Hi all,

I have just returned from a holiday and have found out that out of the many photos i have taken, around 20% seem to be corrupted. When taking the photos i was saving them to an external SD card.

I have a Galaxy S5 running the Omega V17 ROM.

I noticed when taking the photos they were fine, but when i went to view them at a later date, they appear corrupted. As soon as i noticed this i started saving future pics back to my internal phones storage assuming the error is with the SD card? I have no problem extracting all photos to my PC, but when viewing the ones that do not appear i get an error ' ...cant open this picture because the file appears to be damaged, corrupted or is too large'

So my question is, is there anyway to repair a corrupted image file (some are videos too), or have i lost these ones forever?

I have looked into this a bit on Google, but it appears most people talk about getting images off an SD card that has become corrupt, i actually have access to my SD card and can retrieve data, just need to view these corrupted files!

Any assistance is appreciated.

Kind regards,

James

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoreGone:
Hello,

I recently flashed an AOSP rom on my LG G3 and the first time I went to edit a photo from Google Photos it asked which editor I wanted to use and I could select Snapseed for all future edits. Awesome considering the editor isn't even as good as the previous model.

But do to Camera limitations in non-stock ROMs, I am back to an LG based ROM. Now the Google Photos does not give the option to choose which editor to use. Is there something I can do to force this?

Thanks

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yes. Flash a custom ROM. There are several that are very near stock (I recommend MaximusHD). Being on the stock ROM is what is prompting you to update via OTA.
