[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preditcon:
Got mine from Gearbest (EUR warehouse). The package had been opened and the Lenovo seal torn. There were fingerprints on it and it came with adware/malware. The usual. Gearbest also failed to comply to my request of including the proper power adapter for my country, but that's minor. Cost 151€ (which would have been 145€, if my Paypal conversion rate had been set up correctly), plus 10€ shipping to my target country. Shipped using a proxy delivery service, similar to Borderlinx. Great value for price so far. Especially with the Nexus 8 ROM.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fireballos:
I bought mine at Tinydeal.com. They offer priority shipping within 3-5 days for a couple of bucks more. My phone arrived via free standard shipping after 2 weeks for € 134. The package was delivered by PostNL, they declared it to be a MP3-player with a value of € 35 (I didn't ask them to do that) so I had not to pay any additional taxes.

Very pleasant online shopping experience, I recommend Tinydeal (except from the tax fraud).

I asked them for a German version of Android (nevertheless it came in Spanish) and a European power plug, which they added. Software was VibeUI 2.5, very slow, not rooted with unremovable spyware and annoying ads. I installed Nexus ROM. Speed increased from Antutu 22.000 to 46.000. I'm in love with that phone!

Hello Guys

I really need some help. My friend owns a Note 2 like me, which got stuck on the Samsung logo and her partner did a hard reset.

The screen now shows the Green Android lying down with a red triangle that has an exclamation point. There is also the added bonus of a menu with red and blue characters with numerous error messages.:crying::crying::crying:

Can you show some XDA love and help me solve this issue.

Thank you

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasharkhan:
I'm getting 5 hrs sot with my nexus 6 almost every time I charge it, but the problem is that it takes almost 3hrs, the charging time was normal i.e. 1.25hrs when I bought the phone and it worked normally for almost 2 months but now for almost a month it's taking 3 hrs to charge, I use turbo charger and my data cable is the original one, if my battery is faulty how can I check it? I don't have any random reboots. My main question is how can I check if my battery is faulty, there's no bulging on the back side
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d08speed3:
Kennel issue? If you have USB fast charge on try to disable it and see if that works.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasharkhan:
I'm running the stock rom, I've tried different custom roms but the issue remains
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Sounds more like a faulty turbo charger to me than a device fault. Based on your SOT and physical normalities, I'm definitely leaning towards the charger. Either contact the original place of purchase, or Motorola support and see if you can get a replacement. That way, you'll know for sure. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasharkhan:
Yeah I'm from Pakistan and I bought the device from a local retailer, so no Google or Motorola, therefore can't return or exchange the device or charger, as I mentioned in the op, is there anyway I can check if the battery is faulty? In every battery app the battery health is good and in bootloader battery is ok, does every bootloader shows battery ok? Plus in Ampere my battery voltage never exceeds from 4v while charging and battery charge rate is normal
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
If your battery was faulty, you'd most likely see rapid drain or early shutdowns. I still think your charger is at fault. Considering it's far cheaper to replace a charger, I'd start there first. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
It's either the charger or the wire.

If the data pins in the charger don't have a good solder joint on them, fast charge doesn't work. The same goes for the wire. If either of the 2 wires for data inside your charge cable are frayed or broken, again, fast charge won't work.

I suggest starting with the wire. Grab a new one. Make sure it is a wire that can transfer data. There are charging wires that are only good for power that cannot transfer data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasharkhan:
Thanks alot for explaining it like that, if you don't mind can you inbox me your number, I'd like to Whatsapp you to get more knowledge about this, should I get my turbo charger repaired or what?

Hello everybody,

I ordered battery from http://vifocal.com/3100mah-battery-replacement-for-oneplus-one-smartphone.html, as they said, it is ORIGINAL battery.

Today I received the battery, and i went to replace it. At the first look, i noticed it cannot be original battery due to poor materials.

I make some photos, and make your opinion yourself.

What do you think about this? Is it serious? Selling battery as original, and it is not original in the real?

[General Questions and Answers] MariosFFX:
Hello

I am an owner of Samsung Galaxy S6 G920F.

To be honest I'm not satisfied with a 550€ phone which is very expensive for the following reasons:

Multi-Tasking: I noticed that if I open 4 apps the 1st app reloads if I switch to it

Notification Icons disappeared: Even if Samsung released a fix for it

Battery sucks

No MHL support, I have to purchase a Miracast/Chromecast dongle

It gets hot when I open a game

I am completely satisfied and impressed with:

Camera

Fingerprint scanner

Should I switch to a Xiaomi Note Pro ?
