[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpesh6331:
So, the Android M launched and it sports fingerprint recognition, thats awesome.

Our phone do have the hardware, but what about accessibility?

I mean when samsung pushes the M update to S6, will the scanner use Google APIs or Samsung APIs for the recognition?

If it uses Samsung APIs then I think we may not be able to use the services provided by google for the fingerprint scanner.

Also, a lot of Devs will be creating apps based on fingerprint recognition using Google's API, will our phone scanner be able to make use of it?

What do you think guys...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeHughes-S6:
Im sure it will be supported. Granted there are not many devices that actually have a scanner but but im sure google would want those that do to be able to access the new finger print features/services so would make an effort to support all hardware
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HearthC0re:
I believe they're working on the StockAndroid APIs on the next big update.

Samsung had to use its own version since Google did not have APIs, yet.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhayzt:
I would love to see Samsung's take on Google's Fingerprint API. The tap-fingerprint to wake up thingy featured on the new Nexus' while the device is asleep is a big thumbs up for me.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeHughes-S6:
Not seen that feature, you mean the screen won't wake up until you use your fingerprint on scanner?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhayzt:
Well, I was watching the recap of the Google press event awhile ago and the guy who presented the new Nexus 5X and 6P tapped the Fingerprint dimple and the device woke up instantly. No need to press the power button then tap the fingerprint scanner to unlock.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeHughes-S6:
Ah I see.. thanks for the reply.

Not seen anything on the 6P yet, my other half loved her old nexus. Might be worth me having a look as Christmas is coming and her S5 is falling apart.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Mr. X-:
My S6 already does this :/ turn on wake on home press.

as for samsung using googles api, they will. Why would they reinvent the wheel when they can do less work, which decreases the chance for bugs and shortens production time.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhayzt:
Here, have a look.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE_K5Mk3IjA

Its a recap of the event. Watch closely at the part when the guy(Forgive me for not knowing his name. Yep, shame shame. xD) tapped his index finger at the dimple. The device wakes up and automatically unlocks the device.

Edit: BTW, the Nexus 5X packs the same fingerprint sensor.

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Well, on the new Nexus' you don't need to press the power button then tap the fingerprint scanner to unlock your device, just place your finger on the scanner to wake up and straight unlock your device. Wouldn't that be handy if Samsung can implement the same technique where all you need to do place your chosen finger on the scanner without pressing the home button then straight unlock.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpesh6331:
Yep that would be awesome feature to have.

I hope samsung will continue with Google APIs so that we will be able to use all the fingerprint features that Android M will be offering

in beginning i havent realized the problem. but now when i sing in windows live. all my contacts look as if they are offline even they are online.

any idea?

thnx for helping aameerp

if i couldnt find any solution for msn live, im gonna use pocket_msn.cab
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Aeneas:
windows live build

is the windows live version build you are using hard-cooked into the rom?

or is it a *.cab based installation, if so what build is it?

build 1400 is reportedly most stable and i've never had any problems

i've attached a *.cab file of windows live build 1400 and pocket msn (i couldn't attach pocket msn earlier-some people dislike rapidshare)

if you've got backup copies of your software, and are able to backup your data, contacts, sms etc. you could try another rom, i've used most and have never had such problems with windows live
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] palpasphere:
aameerp,

Does the Windows Live CAB you posted prioritize GPRS/HSDPA as it's means of connection rather than WiFi? The version included in the AT&T WM6 connects through GPRS first and if you cancel it, then it goes to WiFi. I'd rather not have to do this every time. Thanks in advance.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] flawlessx92:
Hi,

I did a clean Windows 10 install and of course, the Boot to Android app in Windows has gone.

How can I get it back? I tried copy this app from a brand new x98 (wifi version, not 3G) but it did not work.

Many thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Singin' Bluebird:
A few weeks ago my phone was dropped while cleaning out the weird gunk that build up in the case and the back glass got cracked. I can live with that, but my phone just turned off and won't turn on if not plugged in. This isn't my first replacement and usually when I have an issue, I just call in and they send a new one free but will it be different this time? Am I doomed to pay the $175 ? Much obliged for the assist in advanced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] DLovo313:
Any crack/physical damage & they will make you pay the deductible through your insurance plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
DLovo313 is correct. Whether or not the problem is related to being dropped (very likely is), if the device has any "physical or liquid damage", pretty much any carrier (T-Mobile included here) will blame the problem on the damage. The term "physical damage" is often a little loose, but any cracked display, glass, or plastic casing is usually a giant red-flag that indicates that the device was dropped or otherwise mistreated. Because these things are not covered by the device warranty (technically provided by Samsung, although your carrier usually acts as a liaison for warranty claims), neither T-Mobile nor Samsung will honor a warranty claim on devices damaged like this.

Your options are:

a) Deal with the device as-is - which really doesn't sound like an option for you

b) Get it repaired on your own dime (whether a DIY job or by sending it somewhere "trustworthy"... good luck) - which may void your warranty in additional ways (breaking seals, etc.)

c) Get the physical damage repaired on your own dime, and then try to illegally make a warranty claim for the internal damage by lying when they ask whether it has been physically damaged (e.g. "I don't know what happened, it just stopped working! No, I didn't drop it...") - obviously not a safe choice, because they might still be able to tell that the device had been dropped, causing the internal damage... not to mention moral and legal implications

d) Make an insurance claim through your carrier - usually comes with a deductible (is it still only $175? I thought it would be $200 by now...). I've heard some smaller carriers will waive the first-ever deductible now?

e) Make an insurance claim through your homeowner's/renter's insurance, if possible/applicable

In any event, good luck with your handset. I'm hoping the information above will prove useful to you, or anyone else lurking in the shadows here.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emptyaddress:
Hi,

I had this issue a year back and since yesterday I now have it on my Z3 (D6603 23.4.A.0.580).

In essence (and I'm a commercial photographer) I shoot an image, render it on a PC then post to various forums.

One of those forums links to Google Drive / Picasa and the published photos appear on my handset.

If I use the Photo app, the image displays perfectly for 2-3 seconds then the image is simply bleached out and 40% darker with all saturation and definition lost.

If I quit the application, then re-enter, again the image (1000's all told) are perfect for 2-3 seconds, then turn darker.

Am I doing something wrong or did something change?

Regards,

Neil
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeffi:
Hi, good evening.

Recently my sister deleted something in her phone, apparently an update, and now every single process begin to stop as soon the phone is turned on. The alert messages come one after one in intervals smaller than one second. For this reason I can't activate the USB debugging or change any configuration in the OS and unlock and root the device. I want to know if there is anything I can do to fix.

The device is locked and unrooted, the android version is 4.4.4, system version is 210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.Brasil.en.BR

Thank you for the attention.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcat50:
Try to go into recovery: power off device. after that hold volume down and power for ~3 seconds and now navigate to recovery using volume down button (don't use volume up, the volume up key is to open the select). after that android appear, you need to press volume up + power down for 5 seconds, after 5 sec. first release the volume up key and then the power key. navigate to "wipe cache partition" using volume up or volume down and select with power button (be patient this can take some time). after that you can reboot.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toniu-massa:
I have the same problem :(

I have the same problem :(

Android version is 5.1, unrooted, unlocked bootloader.

I Flashed 5.1 again. It remained The same. Downgrade to 4.4.4 dont removed 5.1 (Lollipop still there).

Recovery Mode: before it exhibited "boot failure" in Fastboot Mode and now shows "none command" under Android with exclamation mark inside a red triangle.

The command Format dont worked. mfastboot issues "write command FAILED (Unknown error)". :confused:

Thanks in advance!!!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeffi:
Thanks for answering.

Tried what you said. When I try to enter in recovery mode I can see the Motorola logo for a second and then it goes back to the Flashboot Mode screen and give the following message: "Boot up failed"
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcat50:
OK, seems that you have to install the firmware new. I must know in which country you bought your XT1033, then I can help you with that.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeffi:
Brazil, without a carrier.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcat50:
So I have 3 firmwares for this device:

1st: 4.4.4 KitKat (http://www.filefactory.com/file/46v....4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40-1_1_cid12_CFC_1FF.xml.zip)

2nd: 5.0.2 Lollipop (https://yadi.sk/d/oOgtlVEPeMrWA)

3rd: 5.1 Lollipop (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347819624)

You can decide. I recommend you the 5.1 Lollipop. Choose one of the firmware and download them, I will help you tommorow because It's evening here in germany :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeffi:
Thank you for being willing to help

I already have the 5.0.2 downloaded, but I'm downloading the 5.1.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcat50:
Keep in mind you are doing this at your own risk. I have done this before several times successfully, but that doesn't mean that this works for you too.

Your battery must have at least 20%.

Please read everything carefully and you should be fine.

OK, when you have downloaded the firmware, you need to do:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347803384 (Minimal ADB and Fastboot)

I recommend you to install this onto a folder where you can have quick access to (i.e. the folder should be easy to find for e.g. on the desktop)

http://d-h.st/xVQ (mfastboot)

Unpack this files into the folder where you installed the Minimal ADB and Fastboot

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2550635 (adb driver)

Choose 64bit or 32bit (depends on your computer) and install

Now extract the files from the firmware into the folder where you installed the minimal adb and fastboot (this is why i told you you should have quick access to the folder)

You need the batch file that flashes the firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1SRgTBQYTFuOHZYOC04RWFISHc/view?usp=sharing (put this batch file in your folder where you installed minimal adb and fastboot (the firmware files must be in there too))

When you all done this, connect your phone using power button + volume down (press 3 seconds), then you can start the batch and the firmware will be flashed (don't disconnect the phone until cmd says that you need to press a key (this reboots the phone))

If the phone reboots into bootloader again and says something like (utag failed), then start the batch again.

Remember if you want to power off your phone, press power key once if you are in the bootloader. (but don't do this if you flash the firmware)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcat50:
Try to go into recovery again:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeffi:
The same "Boot up failed" error.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcat50:
You should send the device to Motorola, because you probably bricked your device. Or you can try this Command (this will wipe all of your data, including Internal storage, but just do this if there isn't anything important on your device)

1. Power off device:

2. Go into bootloader using Power button + volume down

3. Connect device with computer.

4. Start py_cmd.exe in the minimal and ADB folder

5. type "mfastboot erase userdata" and "mfastboot erase cache"

6. power off device pressing power button once and then Start the device.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeffi:
Can't find the py_cmd.exe in the adb folder
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeffi:
Just did it, nothing changed.

I think I'll have to send it to Motorola as you sugested.

Thank you for your time.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] GeekEric:
Nexus 6P just announce yesterday, google said it support fast charge, 5V @3a, TOTAL 15W, but never mentioned if it support qualcomm quick charge 2.0 . Since the Nexus 6P use snapdragon 810, it suppose to support quick charge 2.0?

But anyway, since the nexus 6P use the type c port, the regular car charger won't work it, at least you need to prepare another type c cable or adapter. but today i will recommend a tronsmart type c car charger:

<MODERATOR EDITED - LINK REMOVED>

With this car charger, you just need to plug and charge your nexus 6p directly, and it also offer another port which support quick charge 2.0. So if your family have the old nexus 6 or samsung s6 etc, they also can get quick charge.

Let me know your thought about this little cool car charger?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] GHOSTIVVI:
Couldn't you just use an old quick charge for the car, and just replace the cable with USB c one?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] lin013190:
Ya im wondering the same thing.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheDave1022:
I would only get Qualcomm Certified chargers, but that's just me
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
TRONSmart is QC certified the last time I checked. Qualcomm is terrible at updating their certifield devices list

Yes you can, why wouldn't you be able to? The charger uses a USB 3.0 port from what I've heard but it doesn't matter even if had a SUB 3.1 Type-C port instead on the plug. The phone will determine how much power it can pull from the charger and its backwards compatible with QC 1.0 plus its no different than QC 2.0 from what I've seen it just uses slightly higher rates but the overall output is the same. The output is actually about the same as the Nexus 6's charger which is 14.4W because this one is 15W.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] vido.ardes:
Have you got the UK link? Would be interested in buying one.

Just to clarify, the Nexus 6P has a USB 2.0 socket, not 3 or 3.1, but utilises the USB-C 3A charger for fast charging.

USB-C ≠ USB 3.1. One is the plug type, one is the speed of data transfer. :good:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Darryl991:
Ah, yes. The one I have at the moment is only 1.1A on each port so if using satnav it drains the battery. Wasn't able to find that one in 3A.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rich0:
From what I've read this won't do fast-charge on a Nexus 6p, since the Nexus 6p does not support Quick Charge 2.0, but instead USB-C 3.1.

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

As far as I can tell, the nexus 6p won't support Qualcomm QC2, which is what this uses. I could only find one 3A USB-C charger on Amazon, and I have no idea whether it would work. I'd look for things designed for Chromebook pixels and macbooks and not something that advertises Android compatibility, since most Android phones don't use USB-C.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fApple:
Yea, was reading the same thing earlier.. and its very disappointing that they decided not to use QC 2.0. I really havent been able to find anything that supports the 5v/3a spec for a car charger, and google doesnt list one in their store either. Hopefully new products will start showing up soon.

It still chargers just as fast according to Google so I hope that proves to be true when people get it. 1-100% in 91 minutes for a 3450mah battery is pretty good by any standard.

So, we shouldn't be looking for quick charge Chargers but USB C certified chargers at the 3 amp rating?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Brandito:
It's not truly "just a connector" since it also has extra wiring and may contain a chip if it's a full featured cable.

I don't know of any devices with usb type c plugs that also support quick charge 2.0, though there aren't very many type c phones and tablets yet. Qualcomm also claims qc 2.0 works over usb type c, but again, no one is using both yet.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/usb-type-c-vs-usb-3-0-3-1-vs-usb-2-0-t3221676

I'm optimistic the 5V/3A car charger I purchased works perfectly with the rapid charging of the Nexus 6P, but i need to wait for the battery to deplete before testing it.... I have read elsewhere that rapid charging only happens rapidly if the cellphone is low in battery %....

i have had this cellphone on since yesterday 10AM, and its already 1PM in a couple minutes, next day, and i am still only at 32%....

does anyone know the specific percentage that it needs to deplete to, before I test this with my 5V/3A car charger in order for it to do its "rapid charging" ?

I am guessing below 15%, right?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Brandito:
Should take the max charge rate up to 60 percent.
