[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pulseczar1:
I'm trying to use a phone that will not boot up. I think that there's a good chance that reinstalling all of the original software on the phone will bring it back to operational. I could quickly jump in and follow some directions on the dozens or hundreds of sites out there providing instructions to do this, but I want some sort of guarantee that the software is legit and does not contain malware. Is there any assurance out there, or does everyone just cross their fingers and trust random strangers on the internet? Does Motorola provide any checksum hashes for their firmware, so that one can use them to verify the authenticity of so-called 'stock' software? Or is there a way to download the firmware directly from Motorola?

It's a Verizon Motorola Razr HD (XT926). I haven't tried going out to Verizon yet to see if they would flash it. I kind of figured they'd just be like "we can't do anything, but sell you a new phone", even though they could potentially reload the software -- there would just be no money in it for them. I have read where others having the same issue have said Verizon would not help them. It wouldn't hurt to try going to them, though. Do you know of any way I could do it, myself, in a way that would have a high confidence in security? Thanks for your response, zelendel.

Hi

Google Play Services suddenly started to drain my battery. 100->87%, 18 minutes SOT 2 hours standby.

I found out, that I have an outdated version of Google Play Services and I have tried Google, but can't seem to find a way to manually update it and since it don't update itself, how do I update it?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Download it from APKMirror and install using your favourite file manager
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faspaiso:
Thanks. APKMirror is a legit site? I just find it weird Google Play Services suddenly wants to get access to route my call and text messages. (New permissions from the app from APKMirror).

Download it directly from Google Play if you are concerned. I just did it this morning myself from Google Play using this process and got version 7.8.93.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaWeav:
I also read about a trick over on Reddit to get your phone to update Google Play Services itself. Simply load Google's Android Wear app then launching it and trying to set up will initiate the Google Play Services update since Android Wear needs version 7.8.93. Even though I downloaded it from the pay store using APK Downloader, I tried this and was able to get the phone to self update to the latest update to 7.8.95 now. Interesting trick.

Android M for Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5, Rumor Roundup

Android M is the upcoming major update for the device running on Android operating system. Currently Galaxy S5 and Note 4 are receiving Android 5.1.1 in some regions. Google is going to release Android M under version 5.2 in September. Previously Samsung had taken much time than expected to rollout the Android 5.0 Lollipop update to Galaxy S5 and Note 4 devices. But this time the South Korean giant may rollout the Android M update for Galaxy S5 and Note 4 devices in time as it is not a big update like Android Lollipop. So Samsung may begin the rollout of Android 5.2 to Galaxy S5 by the end of this year. Note 4 users may also receive the Android M update by the end of this month.

Galaxy S5 Retail and unlocked editions will receive the Android M update earlier than carrier locked editions and the same applies to Galaxy Note 4 also. Full details about the rollout dates will be revealed in coming months.

Android M brings special app permissions that give more control over device and apps. New Doze mode saves more battery and increases the standby time of device. It already has proved in Google Nexus devices and it is working much better than Lollipop battery saver. Google released the previews of Android M for developers and bug reporting. Till two minor bugs have been reported and there are no major bugs. So it seems that Android M will be the bugfree version of Android Lollipop. User interface also simplified in Android 5.2. Samsung may also minimize Touchwiz to improve performance and user experience. More details and full changelog will be revealed at the time of rollout of Android M to Galaxy S5 and Note 4.

Xperia Z5 is coming with FHD resolution and Snapdragon 810

Xperia Z5 is future flagship from Sony and expected to be unveiled in September or October. Recently some details about the next flagship in Xperia Z series have surfaced. According to the revealed UAproof of Xperia Z5, the flagship is going to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset. Snapdragon 810 is facing overheating issues since the release and the smartphones powered with that chipset like HTC One M9, LG G Flex 2 are frequently overheating and throttling. But recently Qualcomm announced that they released a cooler version of Snapdragon 810 as version 2.1. So it seems that the Japanese tech giant is going to power the Xperia Z5 with the Snapdragon 810 v2.1 chipset.

Another revealed feature of Xperia Z5 is FHD resolution. Previous rumours claimed that Sony is going to release the Xperia Z4 with QHD resolution but at last Sony released it with FHD resolution of 1080p. So it seems that Sony is planning to release the next Xperia Z phone with QHD resolution. But recent UA proof revealed that Xperia Z5 is also features 1080p resolution like its predecessors. As these are not official specs of Xperia Z5 we must take these with a pinch of salt and have to wait until the official launch of Xperia Z5 to know the confirmed features and specs of the next flagship from Sony.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Torcidas1950:
Hello everyone, I am using a Galaxy S6 32GB smartphone. I bought it a month ago which is really a small amount of time, but in that time the phone has gotten a wef problems. First of all the TouchWiz is really buggy and slow, when I tipe the pin on the lock screen the number keyboard gets unresponsive and slow. It can take a few seconds between clicking the unlock or home button and turning on the display. 2 times the display didn't even want to turn on, the finger sensor under the camera would start flashing red, and when the screen would turn on it would give me "TouchWiz has stopped working" error, and it started working normally when I restarted, but that didn't solve the slowness problem, even now when I'm typing this the keyboard is slow. I wiped the cache in recovery but id didnt help. The next problem which I wound on google that is normal for Galaxy phones is crazy shaking camera when I turn it on, which is not a big deal since the camera takes really beautiful shots. And the last but not least are the purple dots on the front-facing camera. While I don't really care for the camera issues I am looking for a way to fix the software issues, or I should just go to T-Mobile and ask for a new phone?

Best regards and please respond.

Samsung Note 4 is getting Android 5.1.1 update

It is already known that Samsung is going to release Android 5.1 to Note 4 by the end of this month. Samsung already began the rollout of Android 5.1.1 for Galaxy Note 4 with Model no. SM-N910C in Russia. But the rollout hasn't started in any other countries yet. So it seems that Samsung is going to rollout Android 5.1.1 to European Galaxy Note 4 unlocked editions in the next week. American carriers like Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile may rollout the update to their Galaxy Note 4 devices in August.

In India and Middle East countries also Samsung may start the rollout to Retail editions of Note 4 in the next Month. In Australia also, Samsung will begin the rollout in August. The exact change log of the update didn't reveal yet. But according to analysts, the South Korean tech giant is not going to bring big changes in Note 4 phablet with this update and it is not like the Galaxy S6 Android 5.1.1 update. So we won't see the addition of features like option to remove S Finder and Quick Connect toggles in the notifications, or advanced camera features like RAW support in Galaxy Note 4 Android 5.1.1 update.

But Android 5.1.1 update brings HD voice calling facility and fixes for some bugs. With HD voice calling users can talk in calls with HD quality over supported carriers. App crashes, Phone restarts and Battery drain bugs have been fixed in this update. Touchwiz user interface also will be improved after updating to Android 5.1.1. So this update is worthy to install and we are recommending it.

I may be interesting to know, 5 Tips & Tricks Sony XPERIA Z1, Z2, Z3 - Secrets, Safe Mode, Hidden Test Menu, Developer Menu, Reset

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws4BmZ0Sg5A
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haldi4803:
For people who don't like clicking the link, or watch the whole 8min video here the description from YouTube:

1. SAFE MODE

. - Safe mode allows you to turn on the device with third-party apps disabled. Then you can easily remove all apps that maybe causing a conflict or a software problem.

. - First way to enter Safe mode, pres the power off button. From the Power off menu, tab and hold "Power off" option, until you see "Reboot to safe mode" menu.

. - Second way - turn off the phone. Turn it on and when you see the Xperia logo, press and hold the volume down button until the phone load Safe mode.

. - To get out of the safe mode, simply turn off and turn on the device.

2. HIDDEN TEST MENU

. - To enter into Test menu, open the Dealer app and enter this code: *#*#7378423#*#*

. - From here you can test Cameras, Microphones, Loudspeakers, Earpiece, Touchscreen, Display, GPS, Accelerometer, Proximity switch, Pressure sensor, Compass, Gyroscope, etc. Also you can find information for the Firmware, SIM lock status, Working bands, etc., and do a Factory reset (Reset customization).

3. HARD AND SOFT RESET

. - Soft reset - Because, for this models you can't remove the battery, Sony provide you physically reset button. You can use it, if your device freeze. This will not affect your data and settings.

. - If your device crashes, freezes or if you have a problem with the Android OS, you can perform a Hardware reset. This will delete all personal data and will set the device into factory settings.

4. DEVELOPER MENU

. - Developer Options have many features for app developer to test an app on their device from PC via ADB. From this menu you can activate USB Debugging mode. On more recent versions of Android, the developer options have been hidden.

. - To enable Developer options, go to Settings - About phone. Navigate to the bottom and you should see Build Number. Now tab it 7 times and ... "You are now a developer." :)

5. RETAIL DEMO MODE

. - In this mode the phone start demo video and do this every time it goes to sleep mode. Older version of Android have a bug, that allowed to change the screen lock if the phone has Lock screen. For the newer version you can't enter "Retail mode" if the phone is screen locked.

. - To enter and go out this mode, enter this code: *#*#73556673#*#*

Uninstalled all the chinese bloatware, install nova launcher and deactivate the default one with Titatnium, deactivate remaining chines apps i dont need. And now everything is running fine.

The only thing is that the rooting method is a little bit tricky. You need the right drivers installed, the supersu.zip on the sd card. Then flash the recovery via sp flash tools. Boot into recovery. The recovery is headfirst and touch is not working. So need to plug in a usb mouse via otg and then install the supersu.zip using the usb mouse.

Android M is coming soon for Google Nexus 5 and Nexus 6

LG Nexus 5 was released back in 2014 with Android Kitkat and upgraded to Android Lollipop in last year November. It also updated to Android 5.1.1 earlier this year. Motorola Nexus 6 was released in 2014 with inbuilt Android Lollipop and later upgraded to Android 5.1.1. Recently Google released two developer previews of Android M for Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 devices. Many users who have knowledge in flashing installed these previews and enjoying Android M earlier than others. Till now, only two minor bugs have been reported and Google fixed in them in the second developer preview of Android M.

Nexus 5 users already found that Android M OS increases the battery standby time. So it seems that Google made significant improvements in Android M over Lollipop. According to latest reports, Android M will be released under version 5.2. The code name of the forthcoming Android OS will be revealed in the launch expected in September. So that Nexus 5 users may receive Android M update in October. Nexus 6 users may get this update in October through Factory images. Over the Air (OTA) rollout may begin in October and it may spread throughout the world in November.

This time Google may release Android M update to Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 devices quickly. Previously Nexus 5 got the Android Lollipop update with some delay than expected dates because of the presence of over heating and battery drain bugs. It seems that Android M doesn't have such type of serious bugs, so that there may be no delays in the rollout.

Your best best is to downgrade to NC5 or upgrade to OC1 but be cautious once u take the update to OC1 android 5.0.1 THERE IS NO GOING BACK DOWN!!!!! but OC1 has root wit kingroot and NC5 wit toowelroot but NC6 not that I know off. I used to have the rom the rooted version of NC6 because I was capturing the OTA updates. So anyways u can choose if to downgrade to NC5 or update ur phone to OC1 to lollipop 5.0.1 to gain root back.
