Hello guys,

I'm thinking about trading my Galaxy S5 for a Note 3, what you you think about the N3 terminal?

It's worth it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limjialok:
I don't think it's worth it...

s5 pros: water proof ,slightly faster cpu, better camera, smaller easyer to use 1 hand, newer ,fingerprint scanner, heartbeat monitor

note 3 pros: bigger screen, 1gb more ram, spen

not so such what are more note 3 pros as I am a s5 user myself
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerEvoDrifter:
I think the N3 is one year older than the S5, so when we do get updates, the N3 would be kinda left behind, but limjailok covered most of the important details, but the size depends on age and size of your hand (as my mom need the N3 for the bigger screen) but it all depends on the person.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
So what do people think? I can upgrade my phone next week, currently on a nexus 5. Is the Z5 actually worth getting? (seems to be a lot of negative feedback about) or I'm thinking maybe the Nexus 5X (but the Z5 outspecs it in every way.... BUT... It's a nexus, it will be stupidly fast at all times)

Or what else if anything currently?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shagrinar:
Hey,

I currently own an iPhone 5S and I was looking forward to change to Android for a few months now.

Today my contract ended and I finally wanted to get a new phone so in the last two weeks I was searching the right phone for me almost everyday for a few hours. Reading reviews, looking at xda and so on.

Yesterday I ordered the Z5.

At first I was looking at the G4, reviews say it has a really really good camera, it got an SD slot for up to 1 TB and a replaceable battery. Almost anything I wanted, the only thing missing was the fingerprint reader.

Then I checked for the developer community and saw/read that it's not really popular with developers which is a huge negative for me.

Then I read about the touchscreen problems it has and I was looking for something else at first.

I was hoping for the 5X or the 6P to be great phones but without an SD slot and the small storage (16GB at minimum price) as well as the high price (in Germany) I discarded the idea.

I was looking at the S6 then and realized it is a great phone, but again - no SD card (which makes it way pricier than one with an SD card as you want enough storage to not run out) - and the Exynos CPU scares some developers (at least I read that).

After checking the S5 (yes, a bit older) It was my favorite at first but I got the chance to reduce the price of the Z5.

The S5 has expandable storage, replaceable battery, great screen, good camera and a fingerprint reader.

The fingerprint reader is not the best, the design is not as great as on other phones (but that's really not important to me) and it has useless stuff like a heart rate sensor.

But if the Z5 is bad I will get the S5.

Why an older phone? You don't need really need the processing power for most stuff you do, when calling, taking photos, messaging or browsing you dont need an octa-core. Things like storage (for photos and videos you take (especially when you can record 4K)) and battery life are important to me. The fingerprint reader is not necessary but a nice to have when unlocking your phone 100 times a day.

So why the Z5?

Well, it got 32GB, an SD slot, a fingerprint reader, a good CPU, pretty good battery life and a nice camera and It will most likely get a nice developer community.

If I experience problems with it that don't justify the 560€ I paid I will return it and get another phone. But when looking at the whole package I think it's the best for me.

I hope I could help you with describing my way of choosing the phone!

Have fun looking around and I hope it doesn't take you 2 weeks to find the right phone like it took me... :laugh:

Greetings,

Daniel

Had a Z1, Z2, Z3 and now Z5. Also had a Xiaomi Mi4, Redmi Note 4G, HTC M9 and a ZTE Axon. I would recommend this phone, you won't be disappointed especially coming from Nexus 5 (Had one of these also but only briefly before digitizer went). Z5 is tops in everything compared to devices on this list with two exceptions. M9 exterior speakers are better and Axon audio through headphones is better. Guess you could argue build quality as well since M9 and Axon are metal but the Z5 is built well, water/dust resistant but glass everywhere so no drops:)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Yea i definitely need to find a box type rugged case if I get one!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippy01:
Depends what you want from a phone. The thing is negative reviews always outshine positive and more people write about issues they have had. (most could be user error)

My decision to get this was the fingerprint reader which works very well. Having Sony phones for so long I also couldn't see myself with anything else. The Sony launcher in my opinion is the best but I have used it for so long now it would be hard to switch to anything else.

Usually you get time to return bought items if not satisfied that would give you the chance to see for yourself :)

I would definitely recommend it anyhow and have not encountered many issues.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entra6:
compare to Z3 Can you update us with

1- Battery life

2- Heat problem

3- sound qulity from the speaker like playing videos from youtube or whatsapp

compare the sound VS Z3 and Let us know please
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
1. Just streamed a two hour movie and dropped 22%. Only had the phone five days so not sure the battery is fully calibrated yet.

2. No problem with heat while streaming but have not tested extensive gaming or video recording.

3. Speakers are noticeably louder than Z3 but still do not approach HTC M7 or even M9 levels. Headphone audio is also louder than Z3.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Seems all the S810 based devices have battery issues even on standby. HTC and Sony both have regressed significantly in battery life with the Z3+/M9. Keep us posted, I was wondering if this one improved back to the Z3 levels or not. I saw a speaker comparison test don't remember where but the M9 and Z3 topped the Z5 not by too much though in terms of clarity, the Nexus 6 was last.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkhell:
I dropped my S4 on a hard floor in its case and it was still working for a few minutes and then turned off. Now when I take the battery out and put it back in it automatically shows the first Samsung screen, vibrates, then turns off. I can't get it into recovery or download. Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Probably your power button is stuck. Try to wiggle it loose or replace it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkhell:
The phone doesn't stay on long enough to boot. I tried recovery and download mode and it sometimes shows that it's going to recovery then powers off.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkhell:
I tested the power button with my multimeter and the circuits check out. Not sure where to go from here.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
I am still sure it's your power button.

- The device boots automatically when you put the battery in.

- It reboots before it enters recovery

- It reboots before or when you are in download mode.

It's a common problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkhell:
I just ordered the replacement switch. I will post back after I receive it and solder it on.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkhell:
Thanks for the input. I was almost ready to give up on this phone. I ended up breaking the power button off by wiggling it with a screwdriver and booting it by plugging it in without a battery then putting the battery in and holding to use download mode and canceling to boot.

Hey guys, I've successfully come up with a method to unlock the 1700mhz band on my Bell LG G3 (Wind service anyone?)

Anyways I haven't been on in awhile and seen a bunch of PM's in my inbox and wanted to let you guys know I'm in the process of making you guys some how-to videos to unlock the 1700mhz band on your LG G3.

I haven't done too much testing, But I know it forsure 100% works.

Works on Canadian Bell/Rogers LG G3, But It might work on USA phone's, too. (you guys are gonna have to test)

I might not be able to upload the videos for a few weeks from now, because my computer is all disassembled, sending stuff in for warrantys.

So if you're one of those people that are looking for a 1700mhz band unlock for your LG G3 stay tuned to this thread for my soon to come videos.

Hi,

I used KFHD SRT 1.3.5 to recover KFHD 7 (2012) from "Red Screen Of Death" successfully and it even updated itself to 7.5.1.

But it again developed RED screen falt within a day. Now even if I use different KFHD SRT versions right from 1.2 to 1.3.5 it is not recovering.

I also tried using bootloader, boot, recovery from Amazon 7.5.1 update.zip However it went till your Kindle cannot boot Reset or Reboot option screen.

Can I get system.img for 7.5.1 ? or is it due to some other fault.

Kindle Android Gurus, Please help

How should I go about Is it hardware fault?

However in mount menu, I am not able to mount data, cache, system partitions. Sometimes if I repair/format these partitions they can be mounted.

However it always say storage cannot be mounted....

Still struggling to get it back working. As stated earlier SRT worked only once and system got upgarded to 7.5.1 but now no version of SRT works.

Quite high, I would say. As the primary function of this device is to display video content and this is directly affecting this functionality, expect this to get fixed before any other issues get fixed. I'm just surprised that this update passed their QA process.

I'm having the same problem with the washed out video. This is ashame. I actually just went out and purchased the nexus player yesterday because of Android M and it allowing mpeg2 hardware decoding. I installed the plex and homerun apps and noticed the washed out. I though ny eyes were playing tricks on me and stumbled onto this forum. Sure enough. Same problem. I also noticed that KODI did not suffer the same problem. Its steange. I wonder if an mx player or vcl might fix the issue. I have. ot tried the homerun addon within KODI yet but will try it tonight
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markolc:
HDHomerun within kodi looks a lot smoother to me. I can't tell if it's washed out or not as I'm viewing on a very old LCD monitor where everything is washed out and the motion blur is like GTA Vice City. But the VIEW app and w/in Live Channels the video stream looks a bit blocky, almsot not smooth and not crisp. WMC provided a much smoother picture for Live TV. Even w/in Kodi it looks fine. Not sure what's going on. It looked absolutely fine on Andriod M preview.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markolc:
Yes, no doubt that the picture looks washed out via the TV Channels app. Comparing between Kodi and the TV Channels app, it is clear the picture in the TV Channels app has a huge brightness boost. I'm watching the ALCS tonight as my point of reference.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haggster66:
Can you prevent the player from auto-updating?

I was expecting Google to stop the OTA rollout, which is staged for exactly those reasons: in order to prevent *everybody* from receiving an OTA that turns out to be buggy. But they didn't do that; I received my update automatically after the problem was already known. Ridiculous.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghtop:
Yep, video black levels are off on all Google-related apps: Play Movies, Youtube, Live Channels, and when casting from any app or casting screen. Currently all are unusable to me. Kodi and other apps with their own video codecs are fine, though.

It's so painfully bad that (yet again) I don't understand how Google engineers could have let this one slip through testing. It takes literally 30 seconds to notice the problem. What's the point of an achingly slow staged rollout if they don't actually fix these things?

Experiencing the issue here as well. What a pain.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistar Muffin:
I called Google about this and could not make the rep understand the issue. He kept thinking the video was in black and whtie or something. I called ASUS and they wanted me to send it in for service. I told them it was a software issue and that I'm not wasting my time sending it in. I have 3 units all exhibiting the same behavior so they should be able to figure this out using any unit they have in the lab.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agh7:
have the same issue. Whenever an app uses HW accel. the blacklevels are off by a lot. I can replicate a similar behaviour on Media Player Classic with switching output range from 0-255 to 16-235. Searching for that google gives me something with RGB full and RGB limited. Not sure why this is happening but for the nexus player is horrible as video apps like netflix are unwatchable.

So it seems Menues are RGB full and HW video playback at RGB Limited
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haggster66:
I can't believe we are still forced to put up with this. This is a simple (highly annoying) issue which should be easy to fix for Google. Does anyone have any news whether they're planning to ship a fix anytime soon?

Hello.

A friend of mine asked me to flash his phone to a new firmware version. After putting the new firmware in the sd card, I entered in CWM Recovery and I did the following steps :

- Wipe Data/Factory Reset

- Wipe Cache Partition

- Wipe Dalvik Cache

I started flashing the phone using Install Zip from SD card option but the flashing failed immediatly. I discovered later that somehow the firmware in my SD card is corrupted (its size is 0 Kbyte). I restarted the phone and after a few minutes the phone started normally with all the data removed but the phone is asking me now to enter a "SIM Network Unlock Code" which of course means that the phone became simlocked.

Afterwards I succeed installing a new firmware but its always simlocked. I thought that installing a new firmware (or trying ) don't affect that. So I was wondering if there is something I can do about it.

Thanks a lot.

Hi all,

On my PLK-AL10 push notifications don't work properly.

I have all the right settings applied and automatic app sync set as well.

Only if an app is open in the background I receive notifications, when apps are closed nothing.

When I deselect auto data app sync in settings/accounts/menu all apps sync and provide push notifications for just a few minutes, but after that no push again (looks to be after sleep).

Tried several push fixers from apps store (root and non-root) PNF, Push Notification Status, Push Notification Assistant and Heartbeat Fixer for GCM.

Have the heartbeat set at minimum (wifi 1 min, mobile data 2 min).

Have had this problem from the start on B150/160 and B173 stock and rooted.
