[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Hey XDA

Brief background, want to make this small post here.

Had the S4 for a year, actually enjoyed it for what it was worth, wanted out as soon as we knew for sure there was no root. Stock Touchwiz was just terrible on the 4.

I've never had the chance to own a Nexus device before, my carrier upgrades always came just before the Nexus devices were released, and I've been so ready to upgrade when it comes I jump on it.

This time around I stuck with my G3 for a while. I love this phone. I'm ready for new, and the phones coming out this year are not quite "notable"

I really have my eyes on the Nexus 6P - but US carriers not selling it means I have a decision to make. Got my dad the Note 4 earlier this year, he likes it. I like it the little bit I've played with it. I feel I could even use the Note 5 to replace my notebook in class for notes. ATT bootloader seems to be like the S4. Not much will come of bootloader unlocks with this phone.. It appears.

------

So I will upgrade through ATT, probably to the Note 5. Question is - stay with the Note 5 and learn to love it, despite the experiences I've had with Samsung, or flip it unopened on CL and order up the N6P....??

I really do not want a subpar camera to the G3, nor do I want a dull screen. Both devices seem on par, both no SD, battery not removable on the Note... Cameras both good..

Anyone here want the Nexus 6P?! Willing to get rid of your Note 5 for it?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarimSalloum:
The 6P looks sweet (literally and figuratively) but I'll never buy a smartphone with the Snapdragon 810. I already have a stove.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mashari_F:
If i had a real need for a second phone, Nexus 6P will be my choice

I like Note5 as my main phone, S pen is really helpful, and makes you smart ?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I see. Can anyone here tell me if it's valid to think you could completely replace a notebook and take notes in an 8 hour class day with the n5?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
The phone hasn't even come out yet, wait until someone can review it. There are phones with the chip that heat up a lot, and some that don't heat at all.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HNIC215:
I've had the Note 5 for a few weeks now, it is an excellent all-around Android phone.

I think the Nexus 6p looks great too, has pros and cons like any phone.

I think the Note 5 is the better all-around device and is the premier flagship Android phone of 2015.

I don't think you could sit and take notes for 8 hours on this phone. Lol. Maybe you could, maybe not. I would never want to do that.

The Nexus 6p is using the SnapDragon 810 version 2.1 - heat issues have "supposedly" been resolved on that version.

Some things to consider with AT&T:

1) You can't root but you can use Samsung Pay

2) Resale value on AT&T branded Samsung phones (Android in general) are lower than other models like T-Mobile, due to the locked bootloader, they usually sell for less/resale for less.

So I don't think you want to take a risk and purchase the phone from them, only to sell it for less.

Worst come to worst, try it out, they should give you 14 days to try it and return it. Something like that.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
True and true. I may end up doing that. Will be end of this month or next, don't want to make a payment to pay off my G3, got 4 months left but they usually let you swap with 2 left.

I want to try the N5, the S6 edge has a brilliant screen but not for me.

I just really have my heart set on this N6P. If I don't like what I get with the Note5 I may return it for a iPhone6S and sell that on CL. Should get more $$$ for it. Overnight myself a N6P and I'll be good to go.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
It depends if you want stock Android or not. That's all it really comes down to cause the Note 5 has everything else the 6P has for the most part.

I personally can't stand stock Android, so I'm sticking with the Note 5. Stock Android is insanely boring and featureless compared to Touchwiz. And the Note 5 has the S-Pen.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Indeed. That's true. I love vanilla Android. I wish the OnePlus 2 was a bit better... I'd sweep that in a heartbeat.

Touchwiz in my experience has been very Ram consuming and slow with the amazing hardware Samsung has brought to the table. It ruins the phone in my opinion. If course, the Note typically has better optimized software and useful features.

I lean more and more to the n6p every time I look at it. But again, ATT doesn't sell. Going to really suck
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HNIC215:
I agree, I think somewhere along the line, maybe around lollipop, I started to enjoy the touchwiz version more because of all the useful features built in to the OS.

---------- Post added at 07:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM ----------

I've had the Note 3, 4 and now 5. In my opinion, each iteration is slowly getting refined to be a better version compared to the last. If they keep this up, all the old stereotypes about touchwiz will eventually be obsolete.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarimSalloum:
Old stereotypes are still there... yeah there's less bloatware but have you seen the RAM management on the Note5? Shameful.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
Now that the V10 is out I would also consider that as an option. It looks fantastic.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
What V10?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
LG.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HNIC215:
I think RAM management can easily be fixed with a software update.

The Note 5 - even with this "RAM management" issue - is still the fastest, smoothest Note I've used. Hands down!

Software was never a strong suite for Samsung, however, they are learning. Fast enough for some people, slow for others.

It should only get better...
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Saw it... Not interested in the front screen thing, seems a bit gimicky...

But... Could be neat. I don't think I will wait that long until I upgrade.

Yeah, yet the track record shows Samsung will not upgrade the software's RAM consumption near as much as they could. They just don't have our interests at heart, rather the general public. After all we are a minority on XDA.

May settle for the Note5, will have to find time to go play with one in the store soon..

Otherwise I'll flip an iPhone 6S for the N6P... Ugh.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delacombo:
I say no. It may just be my writing, but I can only fit maybe 4-5 legible words across the screen in portrait mode, which makes for a lot of +New notes, or one lonnnnnnng one.

I've had my fun with it, but I am realizing it's just not convenient to try and pack a tablet into a phone, and use a phablet as a phone. I am now leaning more towards having a tablet for actual writing on, and a phone I can use easily in one hand for texting/emailing/calling.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thayl0:
Just looking for the top 3 ROMs I should try. Right now I'm running chroma.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
How are you defining top?

Top = Most popular: Look for the thread with the most posts, or read the "What are you using" threads

Top = Best: No such thing as best. It's subjective. Look for the features you want by reading about each rom

Top = Most Stable: It's unquantifyable

Top = Alright already, just give me recommendations please: Tell us what you're looking for.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstunta101:
Are you coming from an iPhone or something? This is android world, even better, nexus world. Try a billion ROMs and pick your top. Each ROM out there is best by user preference
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thayl0:
I am coming from the note series which vzw had there devices locked down. Before that I had the HTC one max and DNA which I ran viper Rom which was very customizable which I don't think n6 has.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigstunta101:
Welcome to the nexus world. Seriously though it's user preference. My favorite right now is cyanidel. I hate layers but I'm sure a lot of good layers ROM out there
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can use any Nexus 6 ROM on any other Nexus 6 device, so that is not a concern.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thayl0:
Thank you. I'm glad I got this phone even though I think the camera is complete crap one a phone this good but I like the phone itself way more then note series i actually feel like I own my phone rather then being stuck on stock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The Camera isn't special. I think it is average. I can get good shots, particularly with HDR+. It's never going to be Note 5 quality though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monster Mary:
I tried several roms, but my favourite are:

1) Sillness - very near to stock, very stable and fast, extra customizations, no bloatware

2) Euphoria - my personal favourite. fast, stable, highly customizable.

3) I haven't tried CM based roms, but its worth exploring

These are also the only ones that don't crash from what I've tried
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishDude:
I don't know about the OP but I am also new to the Nexus 6 world, getting my phone tomorrow. What is the best rom for battery life, all things being equal? I heard Chroma is good?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ahh, time for my stock answer. It's not all relevant to you but it fits...

"Best" ROM.

There is no such thing as a*best*ROM.* The question itself is ambiguous.* "Best" is obviously a subjective term.

What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is*best*for me could be worst for you.

If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are YOU running on your Nexus 6??? thread.

If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.

If you are asking which is*best*on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded.* You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads.* ROMs do not impact battery life.* The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.

For tips about improving battery life, please read [Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!

"Best" Kernel

There is no such thing as the "Best" kernel.* What we all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the misconception that Kernels affect battery life.* Let's get this cleared up.* Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.

People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery life".* This is actually wrong.* Kernels respond to user settings. Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning.* The reason people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their kernels up with their preferred governor settings.* This is what we refer to as out-of-the-box settings.* The out-of-the-box settings for kernel x may well produce better battery results than the out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance.* The fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits of one kernel over another.

Hope this helps

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
asking about the best battery life is like asking which chocolate cake is the best; its all about what you do, what you like, how you set it up etc, so there is no "intelligent" answer to that question.

I think Danarama's answer was absolutely perfect..:good::good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
Thread closed. Unusually for a Q and A thread...

When someone asks a very subjective question about "what is the best this or that", expect a huge range of opinions, not answers or anything conclusive.

When someone takes the trouble to provide a comprehensive response, XDA and its members do NOT expect or welcome abuse from others.

We used to delete "Best" questions - I wonder why.

Flaming and disrespect to others is against the Forum Rules. Be warned.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludaloskpo:
Hi, is posible to get more GHz on the 615??? Off course with a custom kernel
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0l1v3rof:
Not currently. Wait for a true custom kernel built from source with OC support first. You can underclock, but the highest clock speed currently available is the default.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludaloskpo:
Yes, but is posible to OC the 615?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0l1v3rof:
I assume so with the correct support in the kernel
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattgrantlackey:
I hope so.

What you need to know:

You need to be either on B133, or B3xx to upgrade. (xx means any number, like B312, B303......)

You need to have root/superuser removed to upgrade.

Upgrade might erase user data, to be safe backup first.

If you are not on the required versions, go to the download page, below the big blue "下载" button, there's a link:

版本: B133【EMUI3.0_Android4.4】...................

Click it to download and flash your B133

To download the upgrade ROM, click the big blue "下载" button.

hi

can someone link me to the dload detailed explanation?

I downloaded the file, i created dload folder in the sd card, the updater couldnt notice it. nor when i placed it in the phone memory
[Ascend Mate 7 General] alvinma:
you probably need to upzip to get the UPDATE.APP
[Ascend Mate 7 General] MosheDrori:
Upxip? Means unzip?

And then to run an exe file? Did I understand you correctly?

I thought to locate the zip file in SD card\dload and to run the updater to local file.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] PoisonNinja:
Make sure the UPDATE.APP is in the dload folder on the external sd card.

What I did was:

Power off my phone

Press and hold power, volume up, and volume down

Once the phone turns on, release power

Keep holding volume up and volume down until the firmware update starts automatically

Keep in mind that this will wipe all of your data, so you might want to backup.

If you followed the update guide found in the downloaded zip file and upgrade to lollipop from the recommended versions you should be fine.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] alvinma:
These versions are for phones sold in main land Chinese only. Is your phone one of the four main land Chinese versions?(TL00, TL10, UL00, CL00)

Note: there's also a TL10 international version. If you have TL10 you probably have the international version.

Unfortunately, I have the CL00 version. Would I be able to use the TL10 rom? Or flashing a portion of the rom?

[Ascend Mate 7 General] alvinma:
you can't use the Chinese version
[Ascend Mate 7 General] alvinma:
you should use the CL00 ROM then....

chanthony I really can not help you with your last questions...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] alvinma:
Alright. I found several work-arounds for your problem. However they are all for emui3.0/android 4.4. Whether they work for your phone is for you to test out.

Solution 1:

First get rooted, then download an app, run it, see if it works for you.

link

http://www.10011.cn/

http://61.148.212.108/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/UnlockNetwork.apk

Solution 2:

First get rooted,

1)Edit /data/cust/prop/local.prop

Find

ro.config.hw_opta=92

Change 92 to 01

So the line becomes ro.config.hw_opta=01

2)

You need to flash a hack pack using TWRP Recovery.

link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntGfhvN password:cgzi

Dial *#*#2846579159#*#* to enter engineering mode

(You might need to google a new code for Android 5.1)

Change data roaming setting to LTE

edit /data/property/persist.radio.ltetdd_enabled

change false to true

before you edit any file, you should turn on your 4G toggle.

Solution 3:

If the first two don't work, try this.
