Non-universal mount

Hello,

Sorry to bring back an old thread but since this already existed I figured I shouldn't start a new one.

I recently upgraded from Nexus 5 to Nexus 5x and I ordered a car mount on ebay, I received it today and it's no good, I'm disappointed.

The one I had for the nexus 5 was a relatively cheap model from ebay, it's similar to the one in this picture except it has a flexible "leg"

Picture: http://g03.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1RCm....-Phone-Stand-Holder-for-Google-Nexus-5-LG.jpg

I need for a mount to be able to hold the phone vertically and it has to be resistant to rough roads, I don't want my phone falling. I had to exclude most universal mounts for the 5x because they are either HUGE, or clamp from the sides, which doesn't feel safe nor do I like the fact that it blocks the volume/power buttons. I found a mount for 10GBP that doesn't clamp the sides:

Picture: http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/BRQAAOSwqu9U24V2/s-l500.jpg

The problem with this one is that it doesn't rotate well and the phone is always facing a bit down. And the little screw to lock the position doesn't work properly, it's screwed all the way in but the front part still rotates.

I was thinking I could 3D print a "case" to use with my old mount. But I never 3dprinted and that'll be complicated to do, so first I'd like to ask here for suggestions. Maybe you know where I can find something similar to what I had before.

Thank you :)

The one I have uses side claps but is slightly angled. That with the relatively flat buttons of the 5X creates a gap and I have no issues with the power or volume buttons being pressed. This is with or without a case.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] batwingnz:
I've been really enjoying this, glued the plate to inside of the adopted case from Google store.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] jsgraphicart:
I'm going to be getting a Nexus 5X later this week and would like to use my magnetic car mount with it. I already thought of using the metal plate with it since it doesn't have metal disks on the back cover like my Nexus 5. And the 5X doesn't have wireless charging so it won't interfere with that. But do you know if the metal plate interferes with NFC? I was wanting to open up the back cover and put the plate in there so I don't have to use a case but if it interferes with NFC to where I can't use it, It's a deal breaker.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] batwingnz:
I've just tried my NFC bus card and it works fine, I have the metal plate positioned from a few mm below the fingerprint scanner to just covering the E in nexus. I glued it to the case because it would slide to the bottom during the day when not in use and then the phone was too top heavy when not central on the mount.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jsgraphicart:
Nice. Good to know. I can't wait to get my 5X.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Just FYI, the NFC is located right where the rear camera is.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] batwingnz:
That's a way better place than my old phone, actually makes sense to have it at the top rather than the bottom

My Moto G 2014 xt1068 did not perform well for a long time. I tried editing the lmk values with just a little improvement, I also added ro.MAX_HIDDEN_APPS to Build.prop with a value of 16. But with this, the phone tends to work ok until RAM gets full. Then it hangs for a lot of time and the screen goes black. But yesterday, without almost any hope I went to Kernel Adiutor and lowered the Z-RAM to 0. And man, that was awesome. Now my Moto G is another phone. I'm almost sure it's not placebo, because now I can listen to music while I'm navigating on chrome and I have Facebook Messenger chat heads active, and before that was just not possible. So, if you want to give it a try, let me know if it worked for you and I hope I helped!

I'm on Minimal OS with the last update and no kernel added.
[G 2014 General] luke!:
That's a strange behaviour: zRAM usually improves the performance of the device. It's used like a swap disk but obviously it has better I/O speeds; on the other hand the workload on the processor is a bit heavier. Just one question: what was your previous zRAM value?
[G 2014 General] Vicioxis:
It was at 250mb, the default value.
[G 2014 General] Tel864:
It's supposed to help if it's enabled but oddly enough, it's not even enabled on some phones. To verify it's even enabled, in terminal emulator type 'free -m', and the swap column has to be non-zero.
[G 2014 General] Avick71:
It seems that helped me too

I have xt1068 and my default value was 160.After I set it to zero and rebooted I can watch video in chrome and the play music is not closed, only paused.:)
[G 2014 General] Jstbe:
How do I set it to 0? What options do I have to enable?
[G 2014 General] Wolfcity:
Normally in the kernel settings with something like kernel adiutor.
[G 2014 General] jericho7:
the setting won't stick for me in Kernel Adiutor, it keeps resetting back to 160
[G 2014 General] Wolfcity:
I tried that out, the setting stays on 0 when you select "apply on boot" and reboot. But in my case it made the multitasking issue even worse, it is much better with the zram setting on 250 which is the default value of my kernel.
[G 2014 General] Tel864:
As it should. I can't imagine why setting it to zero would help multitaskkng.
[G 2014 General] Wolfcity:
Agree.

Sent from somewhere
[G 2014 General] P.Fan:
Yes, i changed it to 0 and the performance was worst, launcher resets, lags with camera and chrome.. changed it back to 250 and it was fine!
[G 2014 General] Vicioxis:
Maybe it's just with some ROM's/Kernels, I was obviously not understanding why like you.

I searched and didnt find a thread for charging docks so I'm posting one. I've gotten really used to the wireless charging with my G3 and with wireless charging gone as an option on the 6P, I'm going to want a nice dock to set the phone on at work.

Anyone else feel the same, anyone see any 6P charging docks yet?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vido.ardes:
I would be interested if there was a nice portrait dock, but not found anything yet. I was hoping for some official accessories.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Apache0c:
Yup, exactly my thoughts as well :thumbup:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Since there's no qi I would like a nice tylt style dock if someone finds one that would be great

Ditto. Anyone finds one, please post it here!

This! I love my TYLT and use it as a nightstand at night. Really gonna hate not having Qi anymore :(

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Apache0c:
After looking at this for a bit, I see that it has the usb-c mounted on a roller bar so it moves with the phone.

It actually looks pretty decent. :good:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
Looks like those images were from Kidigi, a known manufacturer of desktop docks. Here is their listing.

http://www.kidigi.com/index.php?route=product/product&productlist_id=8&product_id=112#.Vg25BlUVhBc

I tried ordering their Nexus 6 Dock. They don't sell directly, you have to get them through a supplier. In the US, its NakedCellPhones, their store is mostly based off of ebay listings. It took so long, I was able to get 2 RND ones before they carried the Nexus 6 docks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] con100:
I emailed Fuz Designs asking if they would make an adapter for the Everdock. Hopefully they do.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jt3:
If they make a version of that N6 Dock for the N6P and N5X, I'd probably buy a couple of each (N6P for me, N5X for my wife) so that my wife and I could have one for home and work. That N6 dock looks fantastic!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
I have the RND branded one for my N6. Got 2 of them. Very nice and very similar if not exactly the same.

I hope the Type C connector is oriented correctly for us...

[emoji12]
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
Lol, actually that's what took so long for me to find a n6 dock. Most phones have the micro USB the other way so I couldn't get a generic dock for any phone. This makes a lot more sense.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Apache0c:
Wow, this really shows the adjustability! Nice find! :good:

Looks like it is. It says N6P in the description. :D

Don't forget about these things, unless you happen to have a USB C connector on your computer already. The 5X does not come with this cable; it only comes with a USB C to USB C cable. The 6P does, however.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] sneakycanuck:
Hi 0.0, I was looking at that same 4 pack earlier as well. Does anyone know if USB-C to USB-A cables (these specifically, or in general I guess) will allow for data transfer when connected to a PC or can they only be used for charging?

Edit: Nevermind, it says in the product description. Thanks, ordered a set.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jjf485:
Ordered, thanks for the tip!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Panzerapple:
I ordered one from Google am I the only one paranoid about pushing images through an aftermarket cable.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jadeddjay:
yes.

in other news, i ordered these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W98IQ5M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

mainly because i have a ton of regular cables, and also because soon the other ends are going to be type C. At that time, i will replace all my cables, but until then, these will do.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Jexx11:
Not sure why, but it states in the description of those adapters that they are for Data Sync only, doesn't say anything about them working for charging. I hope that isn't the case, but just a heads up.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jadeddjay:
thats all i need to root it haha

probably not rated for the current for quick charging
[Nexus 5X Accessories] lionheart7282:
how about a type C male to type C female? does that exist??
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Jexx11:
For what it's worth, OnePlus finally have their cables up for sale after forever promising them lol. Android Police gave it stellar reviews stating it was of the better cables available when they did their review on them. They only range from $5 to $7 but you do have to pay shipping, still probably much better quality than the generic ones selling on Amazon.

I did order 3 of them, hopefully they are good. Wish they had some that were 6 ft. though.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] Nidstang:
Question for the community.

I rely on OTG a lot. I have a couple of Micro USB Male to USB A Female adaptors. Is there any reason that I couldn't plug a Type C Male to USB 2.0 Micro B Female adapter (like jadeddjay's item above) into the 5X, plug an existing Micro USB Male to USB A Female OTG cable into that, and then plug my standard cable into that? So:

5X <-- Type C Male to USB 2.0 Micro B Female adapter <-- Micro USB Male to USB A Female OTG <-- standard cable .

I guess it would it be safer to just get a new OTG cable with a Type C Male and USB A Female, like this one. But I'd rather get an adapter that can serve multiple functions as opposed to a new OTG cable that I will only use with one device.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] yrreP:
Probably a dumb question, but...

I'm a little out of the tech game, and my knowledge isn't where it should be. That will probably make this a dumb question...

;)

I am going to get a 5x, but have loads and loads of micro-usb peripherals; does anyone know if a micro-usb to type-c convertor exists? I've looked, but it's a pain to search for, as my search results always flip what i want around to type-c to micro-usb / similar.

Long story short; i'd rather not buy loads of new type-c cables, and instead would like a converter that I can plug into my existing kit, for me to then use with the type-c port on the 5x.

Does such a thing exist?

Cheers!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] redtheguy:
I'm been looking at cables since the phone was announced and I realize I've been spoiled by the cheap cables on monoprice. Hopefully they come down in price by the end of the year.

Is there a reason most A to c type are only one meter? .Best I've been able to find is 2 meter.

Would a USB extension cable work with a USB a to c?

I have a lot of charging equipment that is type a, trying to keep using it.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
Why are you trying to charge your phone from more than 6 feet away?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Jexx11:
Well not everyone has an outlet within 3 feet of where they are sitting. For example, when I'm sitting in my living room, my closest outlet is behind my recliner, and I like to be able to use my phone while it charges, so a 6 ft cable is very handy.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
I said "more"

6ft for sure is handy cause you don't want to sit against the wall.

Sounded in your original post though that you were trying to find some even longer than 6ft
[Nexus 5X Accessories] StDevious:
Wait, why aren't people buying a micro-usb female to usb c male adapter to use existing micro usb cables and chargers?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
Because an entire cable can be had for the same price
[Nexus 5X Accessories] redtheguy:
Charging while using the phone on the couch I use a ten foot cable.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] clninja:
Ahh I guess I just have a different mindset than some... I try not to use my phone while it charges since it is not good for the battery
[Nexus 5X Accessories] 0.0:
Because I believe adapters do not allow for charging, only data sync

That is why I canceled my preorder. I just ordered a 4 pack of 3ft cables for $19.99 with Prime shipping when it was available. Reviews said it charges only 500-800 mAh but it sounds like they had a dud. All of them were using OP2 so I will test them with the 5X

Hi Friends,

Would be great if somebody could help me!

At the left bottom part of the screen, the step-back arrow does not work properly at browser screen. It must be pushed quite strongly to let it work, while the right arrow, the step-forward one works with the slightest touch. For safety sake I tried the smae part of the touch-screen at the normal key-pad, when writing sms. There were no problem at all! What do you think about it? Is ita fatal problem, the whole touch screen must be changed? Or?

Many thanks for any comment!

Are you sure you have an H811 stock from T-Mobile with 10d? I went from 10h to 10n by following the instructions below.

The first phones shipped wih H811-10d, then immediately updated to 10h (within the first week of June if I remember). He should update to 10n, then root. 10n brings tons of improvements ot the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G4] jobella:
I didn't know that. Then definitely he should update to 10n. I found it easy to copy the two zip files from my earlier post onto my sd card, boot into TWRP, go to install, choose the bootstack zip to install, then add the system partition and then flash. I did not wipe my data partition.

This way I was already rooted and I left TWRP installed. I don't remember if I had to flash SuperSU again but it's not a big deal if you have to go into TWRP and flash SuperSU again.
[T-Mobile LG G4] goB4:

2) would I be able to update to 10N beeing on 10D now.

Thank you very very much!!!
[T-Mobile LG G4] jobella:
Download the two files below to your internal storage for external SD card.

Boot into recovery (TWRP)

In TWRP when you choose the Flash file #1 below from the install button, it will let you add another file, at the time choose Flash file #2 as another file. Yes, you will be on 10n when you boot.

Read up a bit more on updating with TWRP. Also, make a nandroid backup to your external SD card (if you have one) before you start. In TWRP you can choose the path for the backup, so choose your external SD card if you can.

From MicroMod777's thread earlier:

Flash instructions:

Step 1: Flash 10N Bootstack

Step 2: Flash ROM

Step 3: Reboot

FLASH #1: Bootstack 10N

FLASH #2 G4-H811-10N-STOCK-ROOTED-ROM.zip

If you are not rooted when you boot, download SuperSU zip file and flash that with TWRP as you flashed the above two files.
[T-Mobile LG G4] goB4:
[MENTION=6101830]jobella[/MENTION]........Thank you for your directions, so are you saying that I should put those 2 files in my external SD card and flash them from there?

Yes, if you have an external SD card, otherwise just put them on your internal storage.
[T-Mobile LG G4] goB4:
