[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrstop:
I love my G2 which up until a few weeks ago has had incredible battery life. The phone is a D801 (tmobile) which has been running stock Lollipop (5.0.2) since I bought it. It appears that my Bluetooth has been taking up most of my battery. I don't recall it ever doing that prior to the recent battery drain. I have cleared out the Bluetooth cache and data, but it hasn't seemed to helped. I couldn't find any indication of a system update during this time. Any ideas, besides turning the bluetooth off when I don't need it?

I'm not aware of what AT&T proposed, but I suggest you to look at your current APN. Maybe you're not on the correct one.

Did you set the hotspot widget correctly in its settings? Do you have it set to transmit your SSID correctly?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr_Android_lover:
Hello!

I got a Galaxy Note 2 second hand and there is something wanky going around.

So the current status of the phone:

The phone will not go into twrp or odin mode without the charger in. However, I check the battery voltage and it was at full charge, 3.4v? ish?

When just pressed power button alone, it goes into a bootloop. So far, it glitches into the galaxy note 2 logo then back to battery with screen. Or other times, it goes into bootloop with only battery screen then on and black screen, which this further repeats.

There are no partitions mounted when observed inside twrp. 0mb so I am assuming that the previous owner tried to flash a custom rom and may have failed at or something.

So my current conclusion of the phone after researching and experimenting with a little knowledge about anything:

The phone has its partition table messed up (ugghghghgh) and there is no platform for the OS or Android to be flashed on to when I was trying to using odin for couple past days.

Any ideas? Anyone have a PIT file that I can test this with? I got some pit file online that I assume that is for Sprint Galaxy Note 2, but re-partitioning with that PIT doesn't seem to do anything.

Any ideas how to approach this?

P.S. it also says that it can't mount /data. Assuming because it doesn't have any partition within the phone itself but could there be any different reason?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsnzns:
I'll send you my .pit file via pm. Hope it works for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr_Android_lover:
It seems to working I think? So now the only partition that isn't being mounted is the /system. I am assuming this is where the OS located. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsnzns:
Sounds like it's okay. Try to flash a stock rom and see if it boots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr_Android_lover:
I reflashed stock rom with success but it is still going through a bootloop. Could it be the battery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsnzns:
Try booting into stock recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr_Android_lover:
Ok, update. When I do wipe/factory reset, Galaxy Note 2 turns off in the process. I'm now speculating that it is the battery at fault so I ordered a replacement for it. I hope this solves the problem and I will update when I get the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsnzns:
Okay, let me know what happens. I'll do some more research in the meanwhile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr_Android_lover:
AYYYYYYY!!! I just hotwired a spare Galaxy S4 batter to my Galaxy Note 2 and it works! It boots up into factory mode, :(, but I think I will figure out how to fix that on my own! Thank you for the PIT file you have provided me! Thanks a bunch! I concluded that it was the battery that didn't hold the charge thus the phone wasn't able to cycle into the boot sequence!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsnzns:
No problem, glad to help! I'm happy to hear you were able to get the phone somewhat working. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] travieso1208:
Hi would you be a le to provide the pit file ? Im in the same boat with my note 2.

Thanks

[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
I know the 6P won't be sold through the carriers, at least not right away. I'm a Tmo subscriber and I was a little disappointed at first but buying the phone and paying for it in full is always the best route.

With that being said are you with Tmo? What area of the country are you in? Having issues or are new services going live? Questions about service with past or the new nexus device? Let's keep each other updated with what's going on with our carrier.

I've had just about every nexus phone while on Tmo. I had spotty service for awhile but over the years service has gotten much better for me in the Orlando area. This past year I've seen almost all the 3g towers turn into LTE. I got to use HD voice for the first time on my nexus 6. VOLTE got turned on. Band 12 going live (although not in my area, I've used it in other FL markets) Going forward to the 6P are we going lose some of these? I've already seen a report that band 12 will not be unlocked at launch for our device. Will volte be available? HD voice? None of these are deal breakers but it would suck to have such a cutting edge device yet it can't access some basic phone functions. What are your thoughts/insight?
[Nexus 6P General] hello00:
when they see that sales are going down they will be dropping the price and eipin the phone just take a couple months
[Nexus 6P General] 1SiK1500:
But i dont want to wait that long.. Ive saved my Jump and wanted the newest nexus again... Damn you
[Nexus 6P General] unknown1205:
why even bother with the jump program? buy phone outright and sell old phone. no restrictions, change phones whenever you want and probably cheaper.
[Nexus 6P General] krazyq:
I'm not a fan of jump either however not everyone can afford the full price, some people are fortunate to be able to.

I guess it's kinda like leasing your car but of course a way lower price.

I love buying unlocked phones and now that tmobiles prices are so low it really works out
[Nexus 6P General] SymbioticGenius:
Even with the jump program you are paying full price for the phone. It just gives you the option to trade in without worrying about negative equity, like a car. But I guarantee you the first time you buy a new car cash you'll set yourself up for life to never have a car payment again, this is so much easier to do with a phone... So much easier.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6P General] krazyq:
I think most people who get the jump program get it because they can't afford to pay the full price up front, even if they are paying the same in the end or maybe sometimes you pay more for a device when you could've gotten an unlocked device (same or better) for cheaper
[Nexus 6P General] SymbioticGenius:
I actually began my Nexus 6 purchase through finance. I figured hey, it's 0% who cares. I started to think of bills and life from a more DTI based perspective vs my older, borrow at low or no interest and invest to get more mindset.

Once you start paying off everything with a payment (no matter how low the interest) you start to have so much excess cash monthly that you realize WTF you've been doing wrong your whole life. It also makes it a lot easier to save and invest.

Anyway back on topic, I don't think carriers will be getting the 6P. But if anyone did, it would probably be T-Mobile

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6P General] DebauchedSloth:
Since the thing will not be supporting band 12 on t-mobile, at least not right away, I'd think not.

Edit: Hah! Soon!

[Nexus 6P General] 1SiK1500:
Why pay full price for the phone? I have the original Jump program. So i pay $27/Month. In one year I paid $324 and traded the phone in for the next Nexus. I didnt have to shell out the full $650. I dont know but it works fine for me. Only phone i care about are the nexus devices. Its a Big deal when i can simply walk into the store hand them my old phone keep all my Chargers and accessories and walk out with a new phone paying only taxes..
[Nexus 6P General] Richie5767:
I just pre-ordered one and I feel that Jump may not offer a good deal. I've been hearing a lot about Google Fi so that does seem like a better option overall. Also, you would lose out on the $50 play credit and three months of free Google Play Music unless you get it before Oct 25. I'll be using mine for T-Mobile and I'd only hold on ordering to look over reviews, but it's a Nexus device so it should be pretty solid. I agree with many in here that not everyone can pay full price, but with Jump you are still paying quite a bit of money. It's just better to buy it up front then sell the old phone after.
[Nexus 6P General] aygriffith:
One of the things mentioned in the Reddit AMA today was they're attempting to work with TMobile on getting the Band 12 turned on prior to the device getting to everyone. So at least they're acknowledging the issue.
[Nexus 6P General] Powell730:
They're not selling the Nexus 6P in U.S. carrier stores... So we don't have the option to use Jump! or Jump! On Demand. I have a Galaxy S6 on Jump! On Demand that I'm a few months into... I purchased a 6P outright and will use 1 of my 3 upgrades w/ T-Moible to go w/ something else, and not pay a dime at the store. I switch phones a TON so for me Jump! On Demand is awesome. I will say though, once I am done with this current EIP, I will try to stay with unlocked phones and just pay outright for them. My monthly bill will be a lot cheaper.

As far as the band 12 support; if they get it fixed by ship date, great. If not, oh well... I don't have access to band 12 where I am (Columbus, Ohio), so I'm not missing anything if they don't have it fixed. I'm sure when/if it gets activated here this will be fixed.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
In the Reddit AMA;

They ignored every question about why they are not selling through US Carriers. This was the most commonly asked question.

I'm like thinking, that's one of the most important questions, why will this not be sold in U.S. Carrier stores ? Especially T-Mobile stores, as they have carried and stocked every single Nexus phone the past six years. I could see Verizon or ATT not selling it, but T-Mobile has been a big supporter of the Nexus phones, as far as carriers go.

So the Nexus 6P will be nowhere to be seen or played with in stores, you just have to hope you think you'll like it and order it online only ? That's crazy. I always want to hold it in hand, mess around it with it for 30 minutes in the store, really get a feel for the phone, before deciding.
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
I'm sure that They will be available at some point. Google has given exclusivity for the first couple months before, this time it's to themselves. Maybe they want to get the preorders out without a disaster like previous releases. On the bright side we get great pricing compared to the rest of the world
[Nexus 6P General] 1SiK1500:
Yeah, Rumor is they could offer them in stores later this month to avoid the instant rush of phone orders. They sell direct first then allow carries to carry a few models if wanted.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
That Reddit AMA was filled with tons of questions asking about U.S. Carrier availability, and they didn't respond once.

Wonder if that got them thinking, hey maybe we should put this out to T-Mobile and other carriers maybe ? I could see that happening after the rush of Play Store orders, and be in stores come December. I bet T-Mobile at least carries it by Christmas, just my guess.
[Nexus 6P General] donatom3:
I'm wondering if part of the reason is so they can say see how many devices we sold without you, you're not getting customized builds this time.
[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
If they announce carrier availability it would just eat into their own direct sales.

I'd be shocked if this doesn't ultimately get on carriers in a quarter or so.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
I'm still upset no Nexus 6P at U.S. Carrier stores, especially T-Mobile.

And I call BS on Google's excuse, that they want full control and no carrier slow downs no carrier involvement mucking things up.

Apple

Carriers don't get in the way of Apple and iOS updates. A Verizon or ATT iPhone 6S get's updated straight from Apple, you don't see Verizon users waiting longer for the iOS update, than an international iPhone user, or Apple having to give the update to ATT first and then let them, hand out the update later to it's customers.

Nope, if you have a Sprint, or T-Mobile, or Verizon iPhone, you just go to iTunes or Apple for the update, and they have the update available at the exact the same time, no matter which carrier phone you own.

My point is, carriers aren't in the way whatsoever, and Apple sells a **** ton of iPhone's through these carriers. How many sales of iPhone's are done directly through the Apple store and site only, like Google wants people to buy the Nexus 6P through the Play Store only ?

Google should sell the Nexus 6P at U.S. Carrier stores, and not give the BS excuse it's because of updates or some crap.
[Nexus 6P General] fix-this!:
without carrier sales and financing options i don't see the 6p selling well. id hope tmobile will eventually carry it in stores. if not ill wait until tax return season and pick one up, im sure there will be a few cheaper ones on craigslist by then. plus development will be more stable. i never use jump and i always drop that option but i do finance my devices.
[Nexus 6P General] hello00:
the moto x pure is another phone not been sold in carriers stores
[Nexus 6P General] fix-this!:
Yeah I know and its cheaper than the 6p. Problem is there doesn't seem to be any development for it yet.
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
You just said it right there. ITunes. You can go to itunes and get the update. It's the same with Google's factory images. When they are released you can go and get them. No waiting on the carriers. But OTA I believe has to go through the carrier which can be postponed.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
I'm very happy with my rooted and ROM'd Note 5 right now. I will have to wait until I see real hands on videos, and honest comments on the Nexus 6P before thinking of switching phones.

Wish there was some places that have the actual phone, to see and hold in real life. Again another reason I wish U.S. Carries had the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] ImSoHungry:
I ordered the Aluminum 64GB 6P on the 30th. I can't wait to get it. I have the OPO now so it will be a good switch. Google said they were working with to get Band 12 by the end of the month which is a good thing. I live in south jersey so I dont have the best signal so WiFi calling will be amazing for me, and I work in NYC so band 12 will be great for getting signal in the office.
[Nexus 6P General] rlukas79:
Uh, no. I moved from ATT to T-MObile for the simple fact that I like getting different phones whenever and with Jump on Demand, I don't have to worry about the trade in value or paying the device off before it's eligible to be traded in etc. And honestly, in the North East, with T-Mobile now rolling out all their 700 spectrum upgrades and the soon to be 600 spectrum, they are definitely making a dent in VZW and ATT. I work for a company that makes the equipment that VZW and ATT uses and both carriers are not laughing T-Mobile off anymore. If Deutsche Telekom would either sell T-mobile or finally start pumping real money into it, T-Mobile could expand it's RF footprint quickly to rival that of Verizon and ATT. The problem is all the money T-Mobile gets goes to upgrades and adding sites in major population areas. The rural areas get almost nothing, DT is holding them back.

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

Also the reason for Google/Huawei/LG being exclusive retailers for both Nexus phones is because last year's Nexus 6 was a disaster release wise and then a disaster when the they were pumping them out only to have them sitting on shelves once the initial demand was done. Ask VZW, that phone took almost 6 months to land there and according to the some of the area reps I know, some stores only sold a handful. That was also VZW's fault as they were adamant on not having the Nexus 6 release other network on 5.0. It needed 5.1.1. One of the area field engineers that I know told the Nexus 6 and Droid Turbo failed miserably using VZW's VOLTE network and had to wait until 5.1 addressed those issues.
[Nexus 6P General] mke1973:
I think one of the main reasons that Google doesn't generally have Nexus models at the carriers close to launch and has been painfully slow in getting earlier models that they sold through the Play Store shipped out is that it takes a while for the manufacturers to build up adequate stock. I would suspect that carriers will get stock, but it may take 8-10 weeks before there's adequate stock built up to start sending shipments to carriers. Google seems to be particularly bad about ensuring everything is nailed down on specs early enough before the launch so the factories can get enough stock ready to ship our to carriers and individuals shortly after launch. Google has never been focused as a consumer (tangible) goods manufacturer, it's one of their downfalls. Maybe that will change under Alphabet.
[Nexus 6P General] PaisanNYC:
I know the feeling. My job doesn't pay well, and I used to look at bills as being tough. But then reading around the interwebs, i realized I wasn't making proper financial choices in life. I am here with the same crappy job, but I can now afford to buy a new Nexus outright every year with cash outright.

It's not about being fortunate, its about better financial choices.
[Nexus 6P General] AhsanU:
You are comparing apples and oranges here.

Carriers do not get in the way of iOS updates because Apple can demand that, Google can not. When you compare the sheer number of handsets Apple sells vs. Google, Apple can demand that carriers not interfere with their updates because of leverage. If carriers tried to push their own crap onto the iPhone like they do on our phones, you can bet your ass that Apple's going to revoke that carrier's privilege to sell their phone. Many people on the xda forums simply forget how wildly popular iPhones are, despite the fact that it's no longer innovative and what not. Apple is still king of smartphones, simply because of the brand name and image.

I'm actually glad that carriers are not able to sell the 6P. The N6 was a complete farce because of lack of availability. I scoped the Play Store and Moto's website for a week or so to no avail for a 64GB model (didn't care for colour). Carriers had the phone, but only the 32GB model, and extremely rarely - the 64GB model . Sure, we can blame Google for simply not making enough, but having to provide handsets for carriers had to have played a part in why there weren't more models for the rest of us. I eventually succumbed to buying a 32GB black one from AT&T.

Lack of B12 support won't be too much of a big deal for me. I've been on a G4 for a few months now with no B12 support, and things have been completely fine. I'm in NYC too.
[Nexus 6P General] Semantics:
The main flaw in this argument is that people would leave a carrier for an Apple phone. Apple sold more 6S phones in a week than Google will the entire year. Nobody but a few million tech nerds give a damn or even know what the nexus program is. Ask a Galaxy or iPhone user what they think of the new Nexus and watch the befuddled look on their faces.
[Nexus 6P General] micmars:
Lol...this implies that Google cares.

Apple is one of the few companies on the planet that doesn't have to create demand for a product...they created a user base for their devices years ago and have been resting on that reality ever since.

The rest of the manufacturers of the world must comply with the certain reality of the will of the buying public, which means offering features that users want, and devices that deliver. Apple, on the other hand, simply decides what it will do, makes products, tells its users that things are perfect, and they are gobbled up by the millions.

Apple's entire strategy is based on a smaller universe of folks with the money to spend on a high end device, and doesn't go downstream. Last I checked, the majority of their profits come from their phones and nothing else.

Android users are in the billions, and the Nexus devices represent but a small portion of the user base.

The Nexus 6 was an unmitigated disaster, and it was but a blip on Google's sales figures for the quarter. This year they deliver two new phones with a major shift in strategy (direct to user, warranties, etc), and I believe that they'll sell millions of them. This was a terrific approach, and though time will tell as to the wisdom of this move, the message is quite clear...they intend to own the process.

My guess is that they will never let go of it again.

#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
[Nexus 6P General] Semantics:
Clearly, Google doesn't care and that's fine. Most people would like to be able to walk into a store and look at and feel a product before they buy it. This doesn't mean that Google needs to put devices in carrier stores, they could open Google stores in each mall or whatever. They are creating an entire ecosystem that they want to rival Apple's and they want you to take it on good faith that everything will be to your liking. It would be nice to walk into a Google store and see the audio or video Chromecast in action, and play with the Nexus phones and look at accessories and Chromebooks and see how they all work seamlessly together. They will certainly sell millions of them, but like I said, Samsung for instance sold 6 million S6 and S6E phones by the end of April. Google won't sell that many phones for the entire year. Nobody know's about it, it's not heavily marketed, its a niche product and I still love the Nexus line, but lets not pretend its ever going to be a driving force in Android, its simply not.
[Nexus 6P General] micmars:
Uhm, maybe.

No one knows the volume of Nexus devices that will be sold, but Google has a pretty good idea. And my guess is that they'll sell millions of them prior to Christmas.

As to the ecosystem, they already have one built around the operating system.

They are aren't copying Apple's empire, as they are doing just fine with their own search engine empire.

They are, on the other hand, in the hardware business to stay.

Android as a mobile platform is about 5x as large as IOS...Samsung has been losing share quarter on quarter for the last 7...and with their ridiculous attempt at copying Apple, it'll fail.

Google, on the other hand, is creating their own massive user base that shows no sign of abating.
