Hi everyone,

I am planning on buying a new phone and have narrowed my choices down to the OnePlus 2, Moto X Pure (Style), and ASUS ZenFone 2. I chose these phones as they have some of the best specs at some of the lowest prices. My question is this: Out of these phones, which one is likely to have the most future CyanogenMod support? This includes the phone with the most stability and the most updates to the CyanogenMod OS. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. If you feel that there is another phone out there worth considering besides these 3 phones, please feel free to share.

Thanks,

Shadowz1218

I think that you need to go to CM official site and check what is the newest device that exist in there list ;)
[General Topics] fireblade1497:
If you really want cyanogenmod preloaded zuk z1 is a good phone. I would advice you to stay away from oneplus.. You can also wait for xiaomi mi5 to launch.. It would be a good phone and will get cm support according to me. Moto x is a good choice but I have had bad experiences with motorola.
[General Topics] Shadowz1218:
What's wrong with OnePlus? Also, any word on the ASUS ZenFone 2? I might consider the Xiaomi Mi5 but I kind of need phone now...
[General Topics] Shadowz1218:
Or do you guys suggest waiting until the Google Nexus 5X and 6P are released towards the end of the month? Google Nexus phones are pretty much guaranteed to have strong CM support, right? That plus the fact that it's coming with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saayinla:
I have a carrier HTC One M8 Vodafone UK and would like a standard HTC WWE rom with ability to use just Carrier junk, wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction.

I tried to S-off using Sunshine but it says I need full root not temp root.

I am in the process of HTCDev unlocking the bootloader, so what next afterwards

I know I have to root and S-off but not sure what happens after.

Thanks in advance.

Information from the device is shown below

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
If you just want to get rid of carrier bloatware (I think that's what you mean), you could just flash a ROM such as MaximusHD without S-Off. That is pretty much stock debloated.

If you want to run WWE firmware because the updates are quicker than with carriers, and want to stay on the stock ROM so that you can update through OTAs, you'll need to change your CID and run the WWE/International RUU. S-Off needed.

If you want WWE firmware and a custom ROM, change your CID and flash a firmware package. You can always update manually this way and still faster than Vodafone will update. S-Off needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] phiftyopz:
Not too sure which one I should get. I'm going in tomorrow to upgrade my phone, and I'm wondering which one I should get. I'm not too sure whether or not to get the Note 5, as I'm not sure if it would fit in my pocket or not. Anyone have these devices and would like to tell me if they like it or not?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Asmodeus6:
Note 5.

S6's battery life isn't up to snuff, and the S6E+ is harder to protect with the curved screen. The curved screen offers almost no actual real world functionality if you are already familiar with a phone. The note 5 has all of the advantages of the better battery and fast charging, plus you get the pen.

Note all the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] wileout:
I like this phone and my battery life is awesome. I mean are you really gonna use a pen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] rgrossie:
Love my edge+

Battery life is very good, but could be better I'm sure.

It gives you a very big screen without feeling like you're holding a tablet, which is why I chose it over the Note. Pen is interesting, but I don't think most users actually use it. In the end I think you have to hold them both and go with your gut.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] blackmeth:
I got the edge plus a few weeks ago and like it. I got a wallet case for it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] phiftyopz:
Thanks for all of your opinions! I got the edge+ and the only thing that I'm mad at is that Verizon loads this phone up with a ton of apps that I'm never going to use. I can't uninstall them, only disable them, which just hides them from the apps drawer. All of these apps take up a total of about 8.3 GB on my storage, with 8.4 GB for the system files. That's half of my storage taken up from day 1. I'm just waiting for a root method for this phone then I'm installing a custom rom to clear up that space on my storage...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mosoleu:
Hi,

I'm struggling with my Samsung GT-I9300 for long six days and can't get bluetooth or "normal" USB connection.

Last week, after my battery deplet I made a full charge and when turn on the phone some weird error about encryptation appeared. The phone won't boot anymore.

I have done a standard ROM flash procedure and since that, no matter what ROM I put in, phone hangs or reboot when I try to turn on bluetooth.

Besides that, "normal" USB connection isn't possible anymore. The command "adb devices" show nothing. Strangely, I can put the phone on "download mode" and flash any ROM to it.

I already tried with different cables (all Samsung original), different computers (Windows and Mac), different USB ports on the computers and nothing seems to work...

Tried several Samsung stock ROMs for GT-I9300, ArchiDroid, Cyanogen, etc.

I done extense Google research and cannot get out of this situation by myself. Now I need to receive help from the pros. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mosoleu:
I don't think that the problem is hardware related.

Anyone knows how to check if the bluetooth firmware is "in place"? I mean, how to verify using commands in adb shell (as root) what must be the correct bluetooth firmware, his location and etc.

Same thing for USB (MTP?) related function.

If it was hardware related, flash things using ODIN wouldn't be possible, right?

:eek:
[General Topics] EdTheDuck101:
Ok, I installed vista on my laptop a while ago but have only just recently had the need to sync my WM6 Mobile with it (HTC Hermes). When I try to download Windows Device Center 6.1 from microsoft it downloads "drvupdate-x86.exe" which is apparently not the acctual thing but a driver update. If I run it it tries to add drivers for "unknown hardware" even though nothing new is plugged in, it then can't find the drivers and stops there without installing Windows Device Center. Has anyone else got this problem, knows how to fix it or has a link to device center 6.0 so I can see if that works?

Thanks in advnce

[General Topics] phony:
Go to Add/remove programs and uninstall "Windows Mobile Device Center" as well as "Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update", restart then try to install. That fixed the problem for me.

http://www.engadget.com/2015/10/08/ATT-wifi-calling-us-launch/

AT&T has launched their WiFi Calling. Right now it's only on the new iOS (naturally), but hopefully we'll be able to make use of it soon as well.
[Nexus 6  General] bigstunta101:

[Nexus 6  General] liquidzoo:
Corporate discount from my company...bill is still crazy, though. Wish I could change, but anything I went to would leave me with 4 cancellation fees and probably less coverage than I currently have.
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
Have to wonder if this new feature is the reason for the new LMY48W build for Lollipop 5.1.1 that cropped up recently on the developer factory image page.

The security OTAs for Lollipop 5.1.1 rolling out now include an OTA to this build number for AT&T phones. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63203967&postcount=513
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
Looks like it was just another security fix, that's all, AT&T even stated only the iPhone with ios9 has wifi calling right now. You just need that ota for a security update unless you have 6.0 with Oct 1st security
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
Yes, it is "just" an OTA security patch. But the news is that it now forks a 5.1.1 build that is unique to AT&T. Before this, there was no such fork. There were three forks, and AT&T shared the builds for Sprint and Verizon. Now there are four.

Presumably they all still get unified in Marshmallow, which presumably includes features for each. But not all phones necessarily will get Marshmallow.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
technically none of the builds are "unique" I could flash that right now (granted I'm on marshmallow) and it'll work fine with sprint. Even the t-mobile only build works fine, but like AT&T said, only the iphone with ios9 supports this anyway, so the whole rumor thing is weird
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
Uh, no. Heretofore in 5.1.1 there have been three distinct forks: one for T-Mobile, one for Project Fi only, and one for others including Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. Now there is a fourth fork, specifically for AT&T. Those forks, different builds in each update generation, were different for one or more reasons. You can't just interchange them and have it "work fine."

[Nexus 6  General] naruto.ninjakid:
When looking to flash a custom rom how do you know which rom is compatible with which phone. I'm interested in the t-mobile variant as well as WiFi calling specifically. I plan to purchase the phone on amazon the US version so how will I get t-mobile specific features?
[Nexus 6  General] boomerbubba:
Well, if you are looking for a custom ROM in this forum, which is all about the Nexus 6, you can be pretty sure it will run on the Nexus 6 phone. As for different functions for different carriers, that would be up to the dev that creates it.

I suspect that things will get simplified soon under Marshmallow, when the forked versions Google has been releasing under Lollipop are supposed to be unified in one build.
[Nexus 6  General] lordhamster:
This has got to be a count of "Lines" not customers. There are 61.3 million more by your count than there are people in the USA... including Men, Women, Children, Infants.
[Nexus 6  General] naruto.ninjakid:
OK thanks for the clarification. Will keep looking around.
[Nexus 6  General] paulieb81:
I think you are correct, they count lines instead of subscribers. But keep in mind if we are not correct, there are millions of people who have multiple devices across different accounts and also work phones. That adds up to quite a few extra subscribers if they are really counting that way.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alferboy:
Hi guys!

I know that USB type C can map to several devices (even VGA/HDMI).

How do we know which ones are supported?

I'd fancy buying a USB<->HDMI Adapter (smilar to the Slimport<>HDMI I have for my Nexus5).

Will it be supported?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
It's not USB 3.1 so I don't know if all of those would still be supported.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stabby:
In the reddit AMA the developers confirmed it would not have HDMI out. You could always mirror it with a chromecast though.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alferboy:
Then why USB Type-C if none of the goodies? Just for fast-charging and reversability?

Casting takes a lot of power and heat.

(Isn't losing video-out another downgrade?)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alferboy:
Well, quoting myself... Actually would the rendering at the device with dedicated hardware give up more heat than broadcasting via WiFi?

Which would take more power?

Allways believe that any kind of "air transmission" is quite power-consuming.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gig103:
Yeah it is a downgrade. I never cared if a phone could stream HDMI before, but now that I'm seeing a 6P as way to carry a single device (no more tablet with HDMI + phone), it is disappointing. Plus, when I read about USB-C having so many capabilities, I was hoping the phone would include some of them instead of it just being a connector choice.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Strange choice leaving out the HDMI stuff etc. Don't understand it. I wonder if the 810 gets too hot outputting to HDMI.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alferboy:
I don't know if people would use stuff other than OTG or video-out. But it'd definitely be nice for some guys for other devices (even though most can be connected to OTG).

Ok... really just video-out :)

Casting generating less heat than rendering video... hmm..... no idea...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CYoung234:
If you have ever done presentations using a micro-usb to HDMI cable, you know that this puts a lot of stress on the connector. And having to drag a cable all over the place is an inconvenience. This is with a Nexus 7 (2013). For me, the presence of WiFi Direct and hence Miracast is far more important. I find that with the Nexus 7 at least, Miracast works perfectly. I use an Actiontec Screenbeam Mini2 as a dongle. I am anticipatinf that the Nexus 6p will work as well, but we will see.

Hey everyone!

My Samsung Galaxy S6 is about 6 months old roughly and the battery life has never really been all that great on it anyway, but lately I'm having some much more serious issues with it depleting really quickly, and dropping to 98% as soon as I take it off the charger. Anyway, my query was regarding backing up my phone and the best way to go about it. I came from an iPhone so I've never really had to back up an Android phone before, this is all new to me. I've googled and such but I figured it might be better to ask as I find a lot of the threads about it and posts in general online are quite old and maybe outdated now.

I want to be able to back up app data, contacts, messages, bookmarks (if thats a thing), login data, and so forth. I know photos and any files can be transferred to my macbook so I'm not too worried about that.

I have a Macbook so I'm not sure on what backup/restore programs are available or whether there is anything I can use to transfer files and such.

I don't know whether this will fix my problem but I figure it's well overdue for a restore anyway so who knows, maybe it'll help a little. Otherwise, I have it insured so I can always see about a fix if it's the battery itself that's faulty.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
If you are stock without root or mods then Samsung Smart Switch should work. Google also syncs most things like apps and data, contacts, wifi passwords, etc and you can use a multitude of apps to backup call logs and texts. If you are rooted, you can use something like Titanium Backup. Then copy your internal storage to your Mac. Reset and copy back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microserfs:
Ah yes I forgot to mention - my phone is not rooted. Are there any apps you recommend to back up texts and such? I didn't know whether Smart Switch was just for when you were switching phones.. I'm guessing it can restore once everything is backed up and the phone has been reset? Will make sure to back things up to Google too. Thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/smart-switch-support/#!/faqs/1

They have a Mac version. It should be able to backup your messages and such according to their FAQs. I like Call Log Backup and Restore and SMS Backup and Restore for apps on the phone. Very simple and works for most any phone or Android version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
If you're not rooted Samsung Kies should be able to do the backup for you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
With the S6 / S6 Edge, they introduced Smart Switch to replace Kies.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microserfs:
Thanks all! Will look into SmartSwitch and the other aforementioned apps. Really appreciate it! Also, is there any other way to connect the phone to my Macbook other than using Android File Transfer? I find the application very buggy and it keeps disconnecting from the phone when I'm trying to do stuff.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I don't use Macs, but I would suggest either an app like Wifi File Explorer Pro or if you are comfortable with command line stuff, just use adb.
