[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cc999:
Band 12

Thats trouble for you. From what I understand there is a long certification process to get the certification from T-Mobile, especially if they do not sell the phone. The Nexus 6 DOES support the T-Mobile band 12:

Unlocked devices

The following unlocked phones not only support LTE band 12 but all other bands required to be compatible with T-Mobile network (LTE bands 2, 4 and 12, HSPA+ on AWS and 1900 MHz, and GSM on 1900 MHz) however band support is not the only requirement. T-Mobile issued a statement regarding band 12 unlocked phones: All Band 12 LTE devices on our network must support VoLTE, E911. Currently only three unlocked phones supports VoLTE and band 12:

Nexus 6 XT1103 (US model)

iPhone 6s A1688 and A1633

iPhone 6s Plus A1689 and A1634
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powell730:
well tmobile has already confirm the 5x/6p will work on their network... im just wondering what the lack of band 12 support (for the time being), means for me. i assume i would continue to run on the band 4 that i do now.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
Not sure if you've found the answer to your question or not. If you dont have Band 12 where you're located then its really a moot point. I'm in Phoenix and there is a TV station still operating on the 700Mhz Band 12 spectrum so I dont have it. However, if T-Mobile lights up Band 12 and these phones havent received their certification then they will not use Band 12 at all. That means you're limited to Band 2 and Band 4 LTE. Assuming you dont have Band 12 in your area (it appears you do not based on the de-facto map that most cite reference to is here http://www.tmonews.com/700mhz-lte-map/), your coverage will remain the same as it is now.

That being said, Google has stated that they are working with T-Mobile to have the 6p certified by the time the devices ship. So if that holds true, and T-Mobile rolls out Band 12 coverage in your area you should theoretically get better indoor LTE coverage since low-band spectrum travels farther and has an easier time passing through obstacles like block walls. Until then, you should have a similar coverage experience to what you have now. You're not "losing" anything to answer your question.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebr:
I have set up some fire tv sticks (stock, non-root) with the latest kodi + llama and IP TV. Works pretty well so far. But there is a big problem: often the streams keep running if accidentally the home button is pressed and the fire tv stick got back to homescreen. Even if you put the stick manually in "sleep mode" the stream keeps running in the background (you can her the audio on the tv speaker). How can I fix this?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibaan:
You could try to set up a Llama rule: when KODI is running and HOME button is pressed then kill KODI.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebr:
Well, how to set it up in llama to detect home button press?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calibaan:
Try the following (LLama starts in german on my devices so my translation may not be exact but the meaning should be clear ;) ):

1.) create a new Llama rule

2.) set a new condition for "KODI" but change the default value "is started or in foreground" to "is quit or in background"

3.) kill application "KODI"

What should happen here: as long as KODI runs regulary nothing because it is still in foreground but when the HOME button is pressed KODI should go to the background and here the Llama condition 2.) should be triggered and Llama has to 3.) kill KODI.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebr:
thanks for sharing your idea. I set up llama according to your suggestion but unfortunately it not work. The stream is still running in the background, even when you put the fire tv stick manually in sleep mode you can still hear the audio.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TROJAN4EVR:
If you hold down the home button long enough from the amazon home screen, you'll get option to go to settings>applications>manage applications>kodi>force stop.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebr:
Well that works but pretty complicated and I am sure my kids won't do that always before they shut off tv.

I observed that on a Fire TV that problem not arises. But on the FTV stick it does. Something must be different with the sleep mode.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TROJAN4EVR:
In firestarter go to settings and under "home button single click application" select "no action". It worked for me on a stick and fire tv. Ususally its set to FireTV home. I was able to replicate your issue on a stick and fire tv and setting the home button single click application to no action in the firestarter setting worked for me. But keep in mind that kodi will still be running in the background as its only paused. So if you double click home button from the amazon home screen you'll just go back to kodi on a paused screen. Kodi should always be turned off using it's power button or force closed from amazon app settings.

Just ordered my new chromecast and was wondering whether I should wait to turn it on for one of the awesome people (maybe [MENTION=5639408]Team-Eureka[/MENTION]) to eventually gain root access or would it be safe to assume that google already locked this one up?
[Google Chromecast 2015] DarkManX4lf:
I have a 2013 chromecast and couldn't understand the point in rooting. What can you do with a rooted chromecast that you can't do with an unrooted chromecast?
[Google Chromecast 2015] michael08071984:
DNS Change ist the important Thing. There are Routers in Europe that can't handle IP Tables, DNS Loops or DNS Changing.
[Google Chromecast 2015] Kyonz:
Agreed with [MENTION=5268316]michael08071984[/MENTION] here, I think DNS change is the important thing - and it should be easy.

It used to be that whitelist was super important (that was my whole driver with the work I did on the original), but thankfully Google changed their ways in that regard.

Anyone know of an easy way for someone in a remote part of the world to get a hold of one of these? I really wish it wasn't soo hard to get hold of things when you're not in the US :(

[Google Chromecast 2015] wian:
I'm new to the chromecast. I've hooked it up and see it's trying to connect to a bunch of NTP servers (pool.ntp.org), and HTTPS servers: clients1.google.com, clients3.google.com, clients4.google.com, and clients.l.google.com. What's the URL of the update server? I'd like to actually use the chromecast 2015 but prevent it from updating itself.
[Google Chromecast 2015] Luxferro:
It might just come with a minimal build that does nothing but update out of the box. You could hook it up to a wireless connection that has no internet connection (which I guess you might have already), and see what happens. Use wireshark to see what it's trying to do, ect.
[Google Chromecast 2015] wian:
I've been selectively blocking sites. I've found out that if you block dl.google.com, cache.pack.google.com and redirector.c.pack.google.com the Chromecast will start, set up, allow you to connect to it, but will not be able to download an update.

Unfortunately when I boot my chromecast, it is immediately saying that an update is required and won't let me use it.

Oh well, I'll leave it for the pro's. I want to use it, so I'll let it update now.

[Google Chromecast 2015] matt4321:
CC2 is a fantastic device, I'd probably want to root mine but waiting and not unboxing is just silly really, we may never get root.

They're only £30 as well so just get another if you want root when it comes, should you need it in the state it came.

I just found out for this for v1... But what about v2015? :)
[Google Chromecast 2015] Zibri:
If you press the button on Chromecast V2 (NC2 6A5) you will briefly see

usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 12 using xhci_hcd
usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1286, idProduct=8174
usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-2: Product: BG2CD S/N:12345678A
usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Marvell
usb 1-2: SerialNumber: S/N:12345678A

1286 is Marvell

8174 is unknown but it is safe to assume it's similar if not the same as 8001 which is defined as:

8001 BLOB boot loader firmware

Since the pc (linux in this case) has no driver, the bootloader timeouts and disconnects after a few seconds.

I bet that if we could hook up some generic marvell blob driver, it won't disconnect and allow further analysis.

Note 1:

You must use a data usb cable, not the one that comes with the chromecast (which is just a power cable).

Note 2:

The same thing happens on Google Home (which is just a beefed up chromecast with a speaker and a microphone).
[Google Chromecast 2015] Zibri:
I also found a setting not available in the app.. not sure what it does but you can set it on or off in this way:

Anyone working on rooting chromecast v2 (2015) ?

I made some progress but I need help.

Anyway, this is another way to go:

1) I created an access point on my linux box.

2) I connected the chromecast to the linux access point.

3) I redirected 8.8.8.8 to 10.42.0.1 (my linux box ip)

4) I added redirector.gvt1.com to /etc/hosts pointing to 10.42.0.1 (my linux box ip)

Result:

chromecast initializes then tries to download a firmware update from my box.

As of today, the update is this one: http://redirector.gvt1.com/edgedl/g....505938fc86092b3e8151e359ef3baecca2bbf79c.zip

If there is a way to modify and re-sign the update we can install custom firmwares in this way. Any clues?

[AT&T LG G3] youngunix:
Hello All,

First, I've searched the $LG_G3 forum for similar topic and found that none/irrelevant ones exist.

-------------------------------------------

About Device:

LG G3 {LG-D850}

Android 5.0.1

Kernel 3.4.0

Software v.D85021r

About The Issue: {RANDOM REBOOTS}

As mentioned before, this phone is running a stock ROM.

ONLY one app added out of the bloatware (a few are disabled) that comes crammed in it.

I don't use the phone constantly, mostly talk or text.

I have noticed this random reboot shenanigans after the latest update that AT&T rolled out (you know, the one that installed McAfee SpyWare :rolleyes:).

The random reboots happen mostly when the phone just sitting. Other times are; once on a phone call, another while on the messaging app.

That's pretty much it, if anyone has any information/remedy about such nuisance, please share.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
So you have done a factory reset right?
[AT&T LG G3] youngunix:
Are you suggesting a third one?
[AT&T LG G3] dragonx254:
I had the same problem but mine got worse (see thread about buggy G3).

Hopefully you don't get the same problems I have
[AT&T LG G3] aybarrap1:
If you are on 21r, I think it is something with the update. My phone went crazy the first go even after factory reset. I reverted back to KK, installed all updates again, and haven't had much issue. Occasionally, something glitches but not a show stopper. I'm thinking the update to patch stagefright is buggy. Try the unroot method and reinstall if you have a decent wifi. Worked for me.
[AT&T LG G3] jlgarr86:
This is why I'm glad I haven't updated yet. I'm not going back to KK then rooting, flashing, debloating just to carry about bugs before another update. 21y is still completely fine. Never had an issue to date.

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 AM ----------

but having said all that just because your phone is restarting doesn't mean it's the update. Have you considered your battery connection? Sometimes phones just get a wobbly battery that just barely loses it's connection. Take off the back and make sure the battery doesn't have any wiggle room at all. If it does put a small piece of folded paper at the bottom of the battery (the end without the connection) kind of like you were gonna try to balance a table but putting upwards force on the battery towards the connection end.
[AT&T LG G3] youngunix:
NOT rooted buddy, see OP.
[AT&T LG G3] youngunix:
Phew! That's a major design flaw. I never thought that could happen, but it makes sense seeing how they left a small gap between the battery and the back cover for cooling purposes. With that being said, your suggestion to cap the gap might cause a heating problem, because when I'm on a call or watching a video the back gets pretty warm. I'm gonna have to do some research on this and report back.
[AT&T LG G3] youngunix:
I've looked into the case of loose batteries and according to this site (see problem #1), it seems to cause random shutdown. So it is expected for the battery to come loose during sudden movements (shock) such as running or dropping the phone, but most of us don't realize it. The only possible solution that can be useful in stopping the battery from moving around and dissipating heat is using a (aluminum if available) thermally conductive tape. I don't trust amazon sellers to have a legit one, but maybe this one would do the trick.

As for my issue, I opened the back cover and the battery was properly seated. But I will use the tape to secure it in place and observe for random reboots. Will be reporting back after I get the results. If you have the same issue and this solution solved your problem, please let us know so we can make it a sticky (if it helps a lot of us). Actually, this might be a solution to similar problems that other phones are having.
[AT&T LG G3] aybarrap1:
While you are not rooted, this method is a way to downgrade back to a previous version and try updating again. Rooted or not is of no difference. This is only a method for you to try and see if you can correct your issues.
[AT&T LG G3] youngunix:
[UPDATE]

Since my last post, I went ahead and got some tape (thin strips) around the battery to diagnose the loose-battery issue. After a few weeks, the phone still suffers from random reboots as it did before.

So moved to the next step in order to get more information about the phone's processes. I've collected over 15k lines of logcat and it seems that the issue is a system process that keeps threading (see output below) and causes the phone to run out of memory, hence the reboots. I believe that it has to do with the low heap size and now it's becoming a development issue rather than normal use. I may fiddle with this if I root my phone, but for now, I can live with it.

[T-Mobile LG G4] Barsky:
I had to send my phone into LG for repair. I am a Prepaid T-Mobile customer. Since I got the phone back, whenever I try to open the app to check on Permanent Unlock (as I have done temp in the past), the app get this error when Connecting to NetworkL:

Device not recognized by your service provider. Please call customer care.

Well, I tried using chat service on their website and all that resulted in was the person thinking they should send in an unlock request for me. I knew this was wrong. Next day I get an email from the unlock dept telling me to use the app :)

Since I figure people here tend to be smarter than a telco tech support person, I would ask here before pursuing this further with Tmo.

This is in fact the same phone I sent in...I checked the IMEI, etc. Using the same tmo sim card.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G4] thevmax:
I have gone through this with T-Mobile and LG. Because you are prepaid there is no account for you at T-Mobile. According to them, the new rules are: you must be active (have an account), have either spent $100 on your account or have purchased $100 to be used on your account, and be active for 40 days. So you could borrow someone else's sim card that is in good standing, post paid, older than 40 days, and has had $100 spent or is in the account. YES, this is extortion at it's finest! The only other way would be to find a verified seller that has a money back guarantee, who is willing to unlock your phone for a fee. The cheapest legit one I saw on the internet was about $55. NOW, you can use MetroPCS, T-Mobile, and Simple Mobile sim cards without unlocking your phone because Metro and Simple are MVNO's (subsidiary carriers that use T-Mobile towers. You CAN'T use AT&T, Verizon, etc. BUT you can't switch from T-Mobile to Simple Mobile. You can switch from T-Mobile or Simple Mobile to MetroPCS. I did it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Barsky:
Hmm. I am sadly aware of tmo's FU to prepaid customers needing service, as I have experienced it as well.

But, before I sent it in this app did recognize my phone and would allow me to temp unlock. It is only since it came back from LG repair that it stopped working. This was a period of maybe 10 days.

One item I question, but imagine it is nothing is that under the battery next to the original label with IMEI, model, seriel, etc , they place another label that has a barcode with the imei numbers next to that LB (Leather Back). Above that is shows HB811LB, but then after that BT01 EU.

No idea what that was about but EU made me think Europe.
