root pros: custom roms/kernels, remove bloatware, ad blocking.

root cons: no fingerprint, no android pay. (risk of getting very sensitive information compromised)

IFFFFFFFFFF THAT HOLDS TRUE, [VOTE] whether you will root this phone OR not.

Android Pay isn't a big deal for me.

I have cards, I use them.

I hope we can find a way to get the fingerprint sensor working.
[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
Guess I'm lucky, all mine work. I use Sling, BOA, Fidelity, Directv etc without any issues. No clue if the finger print scanner will work or not but hopefully if it doesn't that will get fixed here.

Android pay is a gimmick. I have a wallet everywhere I go, I see no reason to use my phone besides the "its cool" factor.
[Nexus 6P General] Deekayy:
Didn't know the finger and android pay wouldn't work if you rooted. Guess i'm NOT rooting until there's a workaround.
[Nexus 6P General] ambervals6:
There won't be any workarounds. Google is not kidding about your biometric data and card information.

[Nexus 6P General] friedchikkin:
As a side question, might anyone know who the developer of the fingerprint scanner is? Although I've a nigh nihilistic attitude about my privacy today I remember reference to information as I find in this article regarding Apple's AuthenTec's ties to the government. I presume the data will be taken while I hope it's used for good.

To the subject—if rooting breaks the fingerprint scanner I don't think I'll care. Banking on my phone? Nope.
[Nexus 6P General] chevycam94:
Seeing as nobody actually HAS either the 6P or the 5x yet, we don't know for SURE what will break with root and what will not. Thing is, once you have root access, the whole system is open to you, so fixes and patches are possible. Also I remember reading somewhere that there was a way to "cloak" root from the rest of the system, so apps that check for root, don't find it.
[Nexus 6P General] DaveHTC200:
I believe the finger print scanner works rooted, android pay is different though, although people claim they have it working with root!

In the UK I don't care as android pay won't be here anytime soon I'm sure haha
[Nexus 6P General] frigidazzi:
Where did you see the finger print scanner wouldn't work? I'm pretty sure I read an article stating that it would. I'm bummed about Android pay, but I can live without out.

[Nexus 6P General] tdamocles:
Why wouldn't fingerprint scanner not work? This might be different but on the rooted Sprint note 5 it worked fine. Never had a problem with Wells Fargo banking on a rooted device. I'm for rooting.
[Nexus 6P General] tokenbest:
well if fingerprint feature is not working then i guess i will just be on stock rom till there are fixes. i really need to root for the freedom for my device =P
[Nexus 6P General] tfly212:
Paying with my phone has zero allure for me...there are very few situations where I have my phone but not a credit card and the 0.5 seconds the phone saves means nothing to me. In fact I watched I guy have to tap his iPhone on the pay scanner at least 10 times yesterday at a deli in Manhattan before it took.

The fingerprint scanner...might be a convenience but I don't see all the rooting benefits out weighing not punching in a pin code or pattern on the lock screen.
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
I would be really surprised if fingerprint scanner did not work on a rooted device. Now AOSP, CM ROMS could be a different story, over on the One Plus 2 forum, you could root the device and use fingerprint scanner. They couldn't on AOSP as they did not have the binaries available to make it work.

Factory images + rooted, should still allow fingerprint access.
[Nexus 6P General] Cheater912:
Does Android Pay work with an unlocked bootloader, no root?
[Nexus 6P General] travelfeet:
I moved to a Nexus for easy rooting. I'll be rooted day 1.
[Nexus 6P General] rajendra82:
I chose not rooting. I started with a Galaxy S variant and android 2.1 many years ago. Back in those days, I rooted and installed custom recovery. It was necessary, because I had to remove carrier and manufacturer bloatware, run special kernel to apply a lag fix, flash leaks onto my device because official updates were not coming, etc. Using these feature made my phone much more usable, and rooting made a lot of sense.

Those days are long gone now, and with a stock ROM on Nexus 5, I have been pretty much satisfied with my phone since Lollipop came out. Sure I rooted my Nexus at first too, but over time I realized that none of the advanced features were all that important to me. Rooting prevented me from getting OTA updates, and the lack of android pay was the last straw. I unrooted my Nexus 5, and will likely not root the Nexus 6P unless there is some show stopper bug or annoyance that rooting will help me with. Otherwise I will be content to use the phone stock.
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
It's a Nexus thought it was the law to root and have fun
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
I think we're all flashaholics on here, that's why we get a Nexus and root/tinker etc. In terms of practical usage, the need to root and install custom Roms these days is virtually zero. Also, the things that don't work when rooted like banking apps, some video services and pay services means it's becoming less attractive.
[Nexus 6P General] Avenue Blue:
nexus devices were and still are intended to be used for development. Disabling features because of root doesn't sound like something that google would do, but then again since lollipop their security has been a bit more strict. so unless something is put out publicly we'll just have to wait and see.

I for one will be rooting day one when I get my phone.

If it is disabled, hopefully there will be a work around put out pretty quickly, like a root cloak or something.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_Fell_xda:
EDIT: Still unsolved - see post nr3

"keep wifi on during sleep" is set to "only when plugged in" - it worked like a charm in lollipop (it switched off wifi after some seconds of disactivity), it doesn't now.

EDIT: In lollipop after some seconds of inactivity wifi was turned off, that was proper behavior I guess... It is not working in Marshmallow.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_Fell_xda:
1. GSAM Battery monitor seems to have problems with showing WiFi activity on Marshmallow (shows "on" when switch is turned on, but it's inactive). I used build-in Marshmallow graph instead (settings > battery) and that showed me, that WiFi is indeed being turned off during sleep.

2. In my Lollipop WiFi became inactive just seconds after screen turned off. I expected the same behavior from Marshmallow, but it is different. It seems, that now wifi is turned off after 20 minutes of inactivity (checked few times).

Am I right about deactivation timer in Lollipop / Marshmallow? I guess It's much better now, since in Lollipop I sometimes had to keep screen active in order to install all upgrades, etc. But for me 5-10 minuted would be perfect instead of 20 minutes. Any way to change that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_Fell_xda:
After some weeks I have to say, that problem is unsolved. I can't repeat the situation when wifi was turned off when phone went to sleep.

I tried safe mode - the same effect, wifi is on when screen is off. Even after I am going back home with phone in my pocket it automatically connects to the router (with screen turned off, phone should sleep)

Does anyone have similar problem?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_Fell_xda:
Bump - more info.

When I turn off Wifi my phone uses 1% or less battery during night. With Wifi turned on it uses 5-10%. If it worked like it should and turned off wifi when screen is off it would use the same amount of battery life as when wifi is off.

Could anyone at least confirm, that I am the only one that has that problem? Your marshmallow Nexus 5's are working as expected?

Just finish loading Kodi to my FTV2 today, this is what I see.
[Fire TV General] solorzano_felipe:
Temperature looks normal but the ram is showing less than it should. I've read articles that people have complained about various glitches and that Amazon has responded with a future update. Meanwhile search for an app to sideload that will show you the ram, like Antutu Benchmark or other apps.
[Fire TV General] cd2022:
Anyone has the FTV2 with smaller than expected RAM?
[Fire TV General] clocks11:
This is what I am seeing on my AFTVs with 15.2 rc3. (None have been used in hours):

FTV2 - 118 F

FTV1 - 32 F

Stick1 - ? (Kodi doesn't seem to report anything)

Stick2 (with Jarvis) - ?

So why is the new box so much hotter than the old one, or are these readings just completely non-accurate?
[Fire TV General] cd2022:
Different CPU , different operating temp?
[Fire TV General] rbox:
Did you actually stop to THINK what those numbers mean? 32 is freezing. Your CPU is most definitely not frozen.
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
FTV1 never reported temperatures correctly. Lower RAM on FTV2 is due to system not reporting what GPU is using.
[Fire TV General] gsrrr:
So the new FTV2 has fewer RAM then FTV1?

Per this older post, Kodi showed 2GB (1946MB to be exact) for the first gen. '

Or is this just a reporting issue with the new FTV?
[Fire TV General] cd2022:
I thought GPU has its own RAM ?
[Fire TV General] wunderdrug:
No. Based on this article, it has a "dedicated" GPU, but still shares the 2GB with the CPU:

http://www.techrepublic.com/article/amazon-fire-tv-teardown-reveals-pop-open-case-integrated-gpu/

However, that does not explain why the original FTV reported 2GB while the FTV2 report 1.5GB.
[Fire TV General] cd2022:
Ah! So according to AFTV guy above, FTV1 does not report GPU's RAM usage but just the total. Makes sense. I just want to be sure that I don't have a defective unit.

Would ordering a new camera module fix this issue and is the camera in the t3 model the same as the t?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce lee roy:
You've likely already done this but, if not, check camera lense for hairline cracks or debris.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
The blurry camera/long time to focus was a well known issue caused by defective camera hardware. The only solution is a replacement device.

The off center camera is most likely due to the optical image stabilization. The camera on my Note 4 was slightly off center too, but it took great pictures. My Nexus 6 has OIS as well and the camera is slightly off center.

I had the T3 initially, and asked for a warranty exchange and they gave me the T, had that same issue, and refuse to get a T model. They say that it's random which model is given, but I spoke to someone in the executive offices and she called the level 2 technicians and they said if you specify that you want the T3, they will get you the T3. Going on the second exchange.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _that:
Apparently your get_cpu_idle_time function collides with another one. You need to check if the version declared in the header file is implemented elsewhere or if you are supposed to implement it (without "static" and with the same parameter and return types). If it is implemented elsewhere you need to find out if you can simply use it instead of the inline function or if you need to rename your inline function and its calls.
[Redmi Note 2 General] jwchen119:
Hi, everyone. This time I'm gonna show you how to dismantling your Redmi Note 2 and how to avoid letting dust in the front camera.

You can simply check if you'll get this trouble by this way:

First, these are the tools you need:

[IMG="tools"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3500647&stc=1&d=1444369151[/IMG]

Let get started!

First, screw up "12" tiny screws, two of it has stickers on it. I don't even want to send back China to repair it, so don't worry about the stickers.

[IMG="screws"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3500648&stc=1&d=1444369167[/IMG]

now, you have to use your nail stick into the left corner of the phone, then follow the slit between main-board base and main-board cover.

You should slit the left side till the "volume + " button and stop here.

Now, stick into the first place and start to slit right, you'll meet right down corner, then keep on.

Keeps slit to the right up corner near the screw hole than stop here.

Here's the most difficult part, you should carefully hold both side of the cover and slowly pull up them by your prefer hand.

The other hand, again use your nail to slit into it, this would be hard, so be patient and carefully, or you'll brake your main-board cover into two piece :D

[IMG="main-board"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3500649&stc=1&d=1444369167[/IMG]

After you finish previous step, it is getting easy now.

[IMG="camrea module"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3500650&stc=1&d=1444369167[/IMG]

What I point out is the front camera module, carefully pick it up with your nail , you can clean the dust now ;)

Be very carefully that don't bend the cable or you'll screw all up :silly:

Use whatever you like to clean up the space between camera and glass.

Now, times to seal it up!

Use the double-side tape to stick on the back of the front camera module

First, cut it to fit the size of camera and stick on it one by one. Don't forget to remove both of the sticker.

I use 4 piece of the tape. Remember, don't remove the last sticker of the tape!

After that, you can put back your camera module.

Now, you can put back your main-board cover and try to boot your device, if it boot up and nothing hurt, then you are free to go :good:

All the pics took by my old Lenovo A820 :D

[Redmi Note 2 General] AntwnisGr:
Hello!

First of all thank you for the tutorial. I am going to use it for sure - I don't want to send it back either!

I don't have to do the test, I already have dust :(

So, there are two things that i need you to clarify for me, if possible.

1. I find this part "You should slit the left side till the "volume - " button and stop here.

Now, stick into the first place and start to slit right, you'll meet right down corner, then keep on.

Keeps slit to the right up corner near the screw hole than stop here." really difficult. I found this myfixguide.com/manual/xiaomi-redmi-note-2-teardown/ that doesn't say that it's hard, but I tottaly trust you.

So, when I meet with my nail the volume - , then I stick my nail "more inside" (sorry for this)? And when you say left and right, you mean as I look the phone from the back, right? From which corner do I start?

2. In the last photo, i can't see how you plase the tape, which is the most important I guess.

Can you upload a video or pictures on the route your nail followed to open the device please? Of course not open it again, from the outside, just to be sure.

Thank you in advance and for your time. Hope we will find a solution for this problem
[Redmi Note 2 General] jwchen119:
Sorry about not clearly explained the detail of how to tear down.

1.

Here's the route how I tear down my device, and sorry I just modify the image to show you this because I don't have my second device now.

It is easy to stick your fingernail into left bottom corner, and do like the image shows. On left side, you'll reach "volume + " (sorry it is "+" not "-" , my bad.)and near infrared blaster, and on the other side, you'll reach near 3.5 mm audio hole.

It is not recommend to keeps using your nail to slit the upper side because you can see the gap is not a straight line , you should hold both side near the position like the image below and using one hand on it like to open your back cover while using the other hand's nail to stick into the gap to helping the opening.

2.

Paste the tape on the back of the camera like I circle out. Just on the square.

It is not means there's no anti-dust washer, but it is not tie enough to make it seal, paste tapes on the back of camera just to push the camera module more close to the glass to make sure that washer works.

On the other hand why I don't recommend using foam rubber tape, some may ask this should works better than double-side tape.

1. Temperature near here is very high, you can see the CPU's temp. mostly high at 70 Celsius, this may melt our tape.

2. We can easily control the thickness.

Sorry for my bad English. I hope you understand, if you have any question, I'm glad to help. :highfive:
[Redmi Note 2 General] AntwnisGr:
Ok thank you! I will give it a try soon :)

So, now, do you get any new dust after this procedure? And if you do the test with the paper from the left (to see if it is well fitted), is it ok now??
[Redmi Note 2 General] Mercerism:
Thanks for this!

I'm going to give it a go soon. I've been having some earpiece issues so I'll have a look at the connections while I'm at it. Is the earpiece speaker relatively easily accessible?

[Redmi Note 2 General] Pendekar7:
yeah, video would be great
[Redmi Note 2 General] vaselor:
Thank you for the tutorial, having the same problem.

Just in case I didn't undestand well: we are using tape just to make pressure on the camera so the dust can't get there, right?

Thank you!!

Thanks a lot ,just did everything and worked perfectly of course,now I can take selfies again :P thanks for the tutorial!!!So easy,guys dont be afraid ,at least nothing happened to me ;) .
[Redmi Note 2 General] ozfunghi:
Thanks for this. I didn't "pull" both sides apart after reaching the headphone socket, but i gently pushed one side away from the other with one hand, and continued on the other side of the headphone socket with a fingernail, and like that it popped open completely. Cleaned it with a cotton swab (making a rotating motion between my fingers as i "polished" the glass.

It was actually a lot less scary than i imagined. I even managed to put the tiny stickers back on the screws :)
[Redmi Note 2 General] cpeterjohansson:
I broke the mid frame do you guys know where to get sparepart?
[Redmi Note 2 General] ozfunghi:
Is it useless now? Did some of the electronics get damaged, or just the plastic? If just the plastic, can't you use special glue?

I just checked Aliexpress, but i don't see the part you need. On the other hand, the phone is very cheap now (€120) and maybe you can find a second hand phone or a bricked phone for cheap?
[Redmi Note 2 General] cpeterjohansson:
I fixed with glue but there was black sticker with some metal thats not there anymore. Dont know what it is thou, maby some heat stuff?
[Redmi Note 2 General] ntchrist88:

Hello, I've recently purchased a new Z1 Compact and have been getting it set up. I've already rooted it and unlocked the bootloader, but now I'm having trouble figuring out how to install CWM.

As my title states, it is 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.157. The guides I'm finding are all for 4.4.3 or lower with build .108.

Can I use the flashtool to flash the .108 kernel and then install CWM? When I do flash that kernel, my build still shows as .157.

I'd like to have an opinion before I do that. Thank you
