Hello,

I have just got my first android phone (Nexus 5) a few days back. And it is working pretty much great, tha only thing which is causing me issues is the very restrictive play store. I can't get some fairly basic apps through it. I searched google and forums about this and it seems it is location related. So is there a way to change that because I haven't found a functioning way so far? ( Android 5.1.1)

thx :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madchainsawer:
Go through the play atore settings and make sure the restrictions are off and make sure that you have good internet because they stuff you are looking for might not be displayed because of internet problems.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walt disney:
Well there aren't any sort of restrictions like that in play store settings, at least that I could find

These two guys troll Apple fans by showing them an "iPhone" running Android and saying it's running iOS 9, then have them explain why Apple is better than Android after letting them play around with the phone. :laugh:

The phone I believe is a Chinese knock off that you can buy for about $100-$150 unlocked. Looks like a iPhone 6 but runs Android.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faspaiso:
Hi

I got an Xperia Z3 that I would like to use rather than my Samsung Galaxy S6, mainly cause of the battery life. Even rooted, greenify, black theme, undervolted, underclocked, only 3g and a lot of features off, it still run no where as smooth, neither as battery friendly as stock Xperia Z3.

Since battery life is very important to me, since i'm out most, if not whole day and I have everything on my phone (bus pass and such) it's very important it keeps power the whole day, which it's just not able to, with my usage.

In my country the (the prices is above other countries, because of high taxes) price right now is $733.67.

The problem is that it's rooted so there is no warranty on it anymore (at least that's the retailers opinion, but that's another discussion) and there is pink dots all over the FRONT camera in low-light conditions (can't be seen outside at all.)

So what would you say the price is without warranty? If it was not because of the pink dots, I might just sell it without saying a thing, as most people don't use it anyway, but since there is a "serious" problem and with all the selfie hype, snapchat etc I dislike doing so.

So, if I should sell it, were the buyer was aware of the issue + knowing there is no warranty what would you say the price is ($733,67 from new).

Thanks in advance

I would attempt to get Samsung to repair it under warranty rather than rely on a retailer
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedei:
Holy sh*t that price. Are you from brazil?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faspaiso:
My retailer sent it to Samsung, which sent a picture of knox 1x0 to me and my retailer and Samsung both denied warranty. Customer Care is running a case, but can take up to a year and it really doesn't matter as it works fine outside. I just want to get rid of the phone so I haven't lost so much again. The battery is too "bad" for my taste. With a few tweaks it's fine, but still no where Xperia Z3 experience.

I'm from Denmark. We got high taxes 38-60% of our income, but well our income is pretty high (compared to other countries) as well + we got 25% tax on everything that you buy in Denmark.

What are the prices, where you're from?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedei:
I paid 740 dollars (more or less). You could ask for 500 dollars, I think it's a reasonable price. Just flash a stock firmware on odin and hopefully the buyer will never know that your knox was triggered lol

I came from a Z3, and while it had a great battery, the screen and camera were terrible!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faspaiso:
The thing just is, that the dots on front camera most people would notice on first day usage (when sitting on the phone in the evening) and when they either contact me or try to get a repair from the retailer and get denied and when they sure as hell contact me. Address and anything is on the receipt so if they want to, they can contact me. Can't just ignore some dude yelling outside my front door.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedei:
oh yeah I forgot about that. Maybe you could pay for the repair and then include the costs on the selling price.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faspaiso:
Well that would be dumb. The repair is 292.16 usd and you say I should sell it around 500. So that would make it near new price, which no one would pay.

I just think I need to accept that i should sell it a bit low because of the no warranty part and the dots on the camera problem. Just how low, i'm not too sure.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedei:
Ouch! Yeah it wouldn't make sense. Have a look at http://swappa.com/
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faspaiso:
Thanks will look into it, but yes I agree. Around the 500 mark if the buyer is aware of the fact that the warranty is non existent and the pink dots on the front camera.

They get panzer glass + cover with the phone, so it looks exactly as new.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cloudraker:
So, last night when i went to lay down, my phone had 13% battery life left. So, as i always do i placed it on my wireless charging pad and went to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and had a text so i checked it. That was at 2:15 A.M. and the phone was up to 85% battery. I woke up this morning, luckily on my own since my alarm wasnt going off. The phone was off and would not power up. I put it back on the charging pad and nothing. So i plugged it directly in and after about 20 seconds, the screen lit up with the little battery with a lightning bolt. and then shortly after that, it showed 0% and i was able to turn the phone on.

Well, 2 hours later, it still reads 0% and as soon as i unplug it, it shuts off. Ive tried a full factory reset which yielded the same results. The phone is less than 3 weeks old, but more than 14 days so i cant exchange it. I could warranty it but who wants a refurbished phone after less than a month. I am not rooted either.

Also, the only method of charging i use is wireless. Has anyone seen this issue with these phones? Ive done some searching and havent seen anything like it but my wife has the same phone and the last thing i need is for this to be a common issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] madchainsawer:
You might have gotten water on the vattery check the sticker on the battery and make sure it is pure white. If its good and still doesnt work try a different battery from a third party seller on amazon or something you can get replicas for cheap and they work the same.

if you're bone stock I'd take it to the closest ATT warranty store and exchange it. They'll check it out and if it's faulty they'll exchange it for you.

You didn't say which wireless charger you are using, but if it is the factory one or the Tylt Vu, there are certainly issues with charging it on those overnight, namely that they aren't reliable - the factory one stops charging at a certain point and the Tylt will keep waking the device, stopping charging, then starting charging again

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geske001:
I have a Note 2 (obviously), and I have rooted my phone the first day I got it and have never updated the phone since I purchased it. So, I am still on 4.1.2. My phone has been super laggy and I want to take the oppurtunity the when I reset my phone that I can take advatages of the new features that mobile phones have by upgrading all the way to 5.1.x.

So, I downloaded CM 12.1 by wilson3q with 5.1 system. I first tried the 5.0 version since the 5.1 looked too new, and did not have time to deal with the bugs. When I flashed the 5.0 version, I got errors of not being able to flash gapps for 5.0 and that I lost my root. I tried downloading the new TWRP to see if I can get a newer version that would work better, but no luck. I got an error saying that I lost my root privileges and did I want TWRP to fix it. I slid yes to fix, but no luck.

The same problem occurred when I tried with 5.1.

So, I ended up restoring my nandroid backup and I am back on 4.1.2 again with root working again.

I am thinking that I am probably supposed to 'step up' the updates, but not sure. Does anyone have a solution or a link to the solution that they can help with?

PS: I did not like the camera that came with the new mod. I do like the stock one. Are there flashes of cameras that I can use as well when I do end up upgrading?

Thank you in advance!!!

Note you may also need to enable root from the settings menu after enabling developer mode.

there should be a "root access" option (or somehting like that there)

I assume that you are giving steps in order, BUT I feel that I should flash the radio to 4.4.2 first, in which the link was broken. I have spent a couple hours trying to find another link, but I am afraid that I may be using an incorrect one. Do you have a good link for that, please?

Also, I have ready the newest Samsung 3.10 Odin downloaded and installed, as well as the USB driver installed and downloaded the ADB fastboot. If I remember correctly, I am supposed to move this onto C: and run it to access the device (Note 2). It has been since Android first came out since I have used the ADB though. So, I apologize for the ignorance. So, do I just make sure the adb is in the same directory and run Odin or did I not need ADB and just run Odin?

I also assume that I run the Philz touch after I have gotten to 4.4.2 rooted first. Am I correct by assuming that?

Yes, I have done a cache/dalvik wipe a few times (because I have tried reflashing to get it to work with no luck).

I have downloaded the .zip version of superSU as well, and gapps minimal 5.1 with wilson3q's 5.1 ROM. So, I am almost ready to go with the exception of the correct radio upgrade file.

Thank you so much for your help!!! Much appreciated!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jheide44:
No need for Odin....

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35396049&postcount=1

(Good read)

Just flash philz from twrp. Reboot recovery wipe/reset... then flash new ROM gaaps... Wipe/reset... Then reboot.

I can post the radio zip to my site later tonight. I believe you can flash that last, or later (from philz cwm, after getting on cm12.1)

Same as superSU. Check out ROM first. It comes with root that can be enabled in developer options. you can always reboot to recovery later and flash the zip.

PS. WiFi tether built into ROM "hotspot" (no VZW subscription required)

Pps try this for the nd7 radios

Sorry to bother you, but I still am getting errors with Failed root access for Titanium Backup Pro. I also cannot find Developer Options in the settings menu.

I have tried flashing the radio before and after wiping and installing the ROM then gapps then superSU. I get into superSU and it asks me for root access and I grant it, but Titanium Backup Pro still says that it has no root access.

Any ideas? Thank YOU!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jheide44:
with SuperSU installed, you may need to just need to update binaries. open SuperSU and it should prompt you if necessary. the "normal" option should work (no need to flash from recovery)

for TiBu...

--within SuperSU settings you may need to disable (uncheck) "mount name separation".

--You may also have to enable unknown sources (under settings, security).

-- there might be something to enable for USB debugging as well (TIBU should prompt for it)

FWIW, you can restore user apps/data... but I would not attempt to restore any system data. Personally, I have found it best to get to know a fresh ROM for a while before trying to restore crap from an older ROM . there might be value in re-configuring apps manually and/or restoring them one at a time (after making sure the ROM is working properly) i.e. you won't need any of those aforementioned WiFi tether apps since it is built into the ROM now.

Instructions on enabling developer options in CM ROM, from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_developer_options

(that is likely how to enable superuser that is "baked" into the rom, given you already installed SuperSU it may only complicate matters)

You may be rooted and just having TiBu issues. If all else fails you can check with an app. A long time ago, I've used "Simple Root Checker" by SimoneDev to check root/busybox. It is still in the play store.

Good Luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geske001:
Thank you! It ended up being my version of Titanium Backup. I downloaded a new version and it is good. As far as restoring is concerned, I do not even want the apps themselves restored from there, because there may be a new version and would like a fresh install of those apps. I just want my data restored. For example, I have a surveillance software that I would just like to restore the entries (IP's usernames and passwords). I would like my email settings to be there, so that I do not have to re setup my 7 email addresses. My Text/SMS messages and my alarms. So, I am not trying to do a full restore.

On another note, I am trying to get my calendars back into my phone with no luck. I cannot install google calendar and get my google calendars to populate into my task widget, and the ROM is not letting me set up my POP email addresses. Also, I see no ringtones, so I have no ringers to ring my phone nor tones for my alarm clock. I flashed gapps for 5.1 and I see nothing extra from the ROM. I thought gapps was google apps. Am I trying to do stuff differently than you? There seems to be a few problems in that manner that I am trying to work with.

I am thinking of downgrading to 5.0. Maybe the 5.1 is too new?

Again, THANK YOU for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jheide44:
I wouldn't downgrade, nobody is actively working on 5.0.2 anymore.... that thread is basically dead. Also, it is likely less "stable"/mature than what you have installed now (that is currently being maintained). i.e. you have the ROM that I would stick with.

like I said I wouldn't restore any thing into system (apps or data)... you can do whatever you please. (but it could be causing you more issues than just biting the bullet & configuring manually) i.e. restoring accounts might result in unanticipated issues, you came from a much older version of android.

all I had to do was install google calendar from play store and then the CM12 calendar stuff all worked (I might have had to restart and/or install the google calendar prior to setting up primary gmail). you might need to remove all your accounts and load them again (a factory reset might be faster though.)

also you might have to update google services and the play store before certain things "play nice".

I know you don't want to hear this but...

from here on out i'll likely point to all your issues being based on restoring system data. (based on my limited knowledge and personal experience). FWIW, I'd try to reconfigure/setup everything manually and you will likely have much better results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geske001:
I figured that, and feared that and the same time. So, what am I flashing onto the phone with gapps then? Also, one of the reasons I was wanting to go back was because there are a few apps that are not 'compatible' with this system. Meanwhile, I am going to wipe and reset again, and do what you suggested and just reconfigure.

Thanks again!
