[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toopty:
I am able to enable tethering with the build.prop edit and get hotspot to launch on my Nexus 6 Non-Carrier model running LMY48M. I'm also able to get my external device to connect to the hotspot, but the device does not connect to the internet. No webpages will work. Does anyone have advice for making it work? From what I've read the settings.db does not need to be edited for hotspot to work on version.

Update: After trying many things to get this working I happened to compare my Non-Carrier Nexus 6 APN settings to an official Verizon phone's APN. The line for APN type on my phone read only "default" changing this to "default,dun,supl" resolved my issue and allowed tethering to work.

I'm a little confused as to why this was not correct on my phone, I thought the APN was set by the sim card in the phone. It fixed the issue none the less. If anyone can explain why I would appreciate the information.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchell0714:
Every single time I go to upgrade to the next version of the dynamic kat rom, I can NEVER restore the data that i back up. I always end up in a loop where the apps attempt to sync and then the phone hangs and force shuts down and restarts. Yes, I have researched this for many hours before asking but I am still at a stand still.

I've heard this can be an issue with an offending application, but I really don't know what I'm supposed to do about it if I don't know what app it is, and I don't download anything broken, of course I use some cracked paid apps but would that cause errors?

It's a t-mobile galaxy note 4 running dynamic pop 6.0 for COD6. Android 5.0.1, baseband COD6. Kernel is whatever came with the rom and the phone is rooted. with knox definitely tripped.

I'm pretty technology proficient, so I'm hoping I can work with someone to figure out the root of this issue to finally fix it once and for all so I can upgrade without having to constantly fix soft bricks and manually transfer data and customizations over.

What are you using to restore? Make sure you aren't restoring system apps.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchell0714:
I'm using TWRP's backup and restore system. I follow all the procedure as documented by the helpful developers on XDA, including a full wipe and factory reset.

I don't know if TWRP backups system apps, i usually just have it backup data only as that has everything i need IIRC
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parnelli98:
Give these options a try the next time you backup your ROM using TWRP: Boot, System, Data, EFS, Modem. I have had zero issues restoring a backup (using TWRP) with these choices.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrior1975:
No issues with TWRP here either. System apps don't matter for TWRP, I thought you were talking about restoring apps from titanium Backup.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchell0714:
Okay will do, I really hope I don't get completely wiped this time and stuck in a soft brick. The phone definitely needs to be updated, plenty of slow downs and weird bugs happening which I assume is because its one of the first releases on android 5.

The issue I'm having is specifically occurring when the apps are restored/updated/synced initially right after a restore. The phone hangs and force restarts and is stuck in a boot loop.

Restoring system, boot, efs, and modem won't cause conflict with an upgraded ROM? Like going from kit kat to lollipop?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosgardel:
I have similar but maybe different problem, I made 3 different nandroids with 3 different roms and cant restore anyone of them It give me errors so restore never completes but already formated system so I have to Odin from start. Using latest twrp, also after odin and installed new rom cant restore apps from tibu backup. If I try to restore only a user app, (never system) the restore option is disabled. And batch restore shows 0 missing apps but you can see the backups are there. Im gonna try in nandroid efs and modem, didnt do it but Im nervous the same its gonna happen.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrior1975:
Make sure you are using the right path for restoring in TiBu. Go into menu, preferences, backup folder locations. Make sure you see your backups.

Also try menu, refresh apps list.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosgardel:
Yes, like I said Im seeing the backups in Tibu and when I select the app to restore shows there is a backup but the restore button is not available.

Im a user of Tibu and lots of flashing roms for 3 years in different roms never have this problem Im getting with my new note 4.

Right now Im trying to make a nandroid and its stuck backing up system for like half hour I dont know if take battery to end it.

I have samsung galaxy s duos 2 gt-s7582. I rooted my phone successfully. And the phone was running good until after some 15 days, my phone rebooted automatically. It boots normally again and after some 2 minutes, the screen freezes and reboots again. I performed data wipe/reset from stock recovery but the problem is that though it shows data wipe complete, there is no data wipe at all when i restart the phone. And the phone continues in restarting continuously. Flashing stock firmware through ODIN also shows success and the phone reboots. But the old ROM is not replaced at all..Please HELP !!!

I searched on google but I could only find solutions which include downloading the whole rom, is there another way to fix this? I'm scared that flashing the rom might wipe my data. I already tried downloading the update thru the internet but still gave me the same thing. I'm rooted, and have the stock recovery. Thank you
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can either flash the full ROM zip with the stock recovery, or flash the stock images with fastboot. Neither will wipe your data (unless you flash the userdata image).

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] yashpalgoyal1304:
And whats that??
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Anas Satria:
The scrolling capture is available by just update your Smart select apk. I'm using 2.0.53 version and it works pretty well. It also will add the gif capture feature. And if you want to scroll capture without taking out s pen to capture with Screen Write, just enable the setting in Display>Enable Edit After Capture. If the option not available, just edit in system/etc/floating_feature and find line with Edit After Capture and change the word FALSE to TRUE

Note: You need to update the Smart select first.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] hbar98:
So I'm trying to decide what kind of holster I want to get for my Pure. Yes, I know that holsters are out of style, and frankly I don't care. The phone is too large for me to put in my pocket *and* do my work without worrying that I'm going to bend the phone or whatever.

I had a vertical holster for my 2013 Moto X, but I think that I'd like to go horizontal this time since this phone is taller than my last one. I'm not terribly impressed by the ones that are marketed strictly for the Pure, so I did a size comparison with the Note 4 and found a couple that I liked. But... while the Pure is about the same size as the Note 4 it is a bit thicker due to the curve. So, would you all think that something like this should work??

CellBee Canvas

-or-

Urvoix Tactical

Right now I only have the bumper case on, but if I find a slim kickstand that I like I may put that on.

Let me know how you think it would fit in these! I appreciate your input!
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] ErikHellstrom:
I saw a couple unboxing videos where the size seemed to exactly match some other phones (but I don't know what they were.)

I bought a slim $7 otterbox knockoff shell + holster clip. And I will look for something else when they start making more cases. I really like the way the urvoix looks, but the rip of velcro everytime I grab my phone is not going to work for me, especially in meetings.

When I told my wife that I was looking for something with a belt clip, she suggested that I put my phone in a pocket protector and hang it from my fanny pack, so I'm guessing these are no longer in fashion.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] hbar98:
Yeah, that's what they tell me at least. But I jump in and out of forklifts all day and move farm supplies all over the place, so I can't do what needs to be done with a phone in my pocket. I'll be unfashionable if it means not having to replace a $450 phone over a hard landing.

There were a couple other canvas horizontal holders that were magnetic, and I thought about them as well.

US carriers seem to be much slower pushing out updates. Since they mostly use foreign support it makes little sense. I work for the same company as my carrier, but different division and word I have is they aren't pushing out the update for this phone because the phone isn't in their list of devices yet. BTW, I'd be curious if anyone actually knows someone that got the stagefright bug. You have as big a chance to get struck by lightning as you are in getting stagefright. Anything with Kit Kat or later makes it almost impossible for stagefright to replicate on their phone.
