Don't mean to hijack the thread (issue solved) but I wanted to ask - any of you gents having trouble w Hangouts refusing to show contact pictures? This only seems to happen on 6.0.0+ for me, Lollipop and under is gravy

I've tried Messenger, Chomp Evolve etc and none of them have this issue in M. Anyone else?

When I first used SManager to do this it was no problem. The last time I tried I could not, for the life of me, figure out where I was going wrong. Maybe the app updated? Maybe I was in derp mode? I do not know. Is there an alternative? Thank you for your help.

Hi

Thank you for using XDA Assist :)

I'm not familiar to SManager but BootBuddy may fit your needs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2378274
[XDA Assist] malckdaddy:
Thank you, good sir. I very much appreciate your help. I will look into BootBuddy if for no other reason then that it looks interesting. I DID however discover where I was going wrong, and well...it turns out I was just suffering from a "derp" moment. I was doing a long press on the icon, then selecting properties. It turns out I needed to do a quick tap, then select the "su" and "boot" icons in the menu. Had to come back and mention that in the hopes it will be helpful to a fellow derp victim in the future. :)

Once again, Much appreciation, Primokorn. Helpfulness. Yet another reason the XDA forums rock! :)
[XDA Assist] Primokorn:
Yep those "derp" moments can happen :)

Thank you for the feedback and good luck with BootBuddy.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Hey guys

I want the Nexus 6P. I've decided nothing else is desirable.

But carriers aren't selling it in the US. I'm on ATT next program - for those who don't know what that is I pay ~$26 a month on top of my phone bill for 12,16, or 24 months. I've enjoyed it, I get an upgrade every year and don't have to houce my pockets. It's just what my bill is.

However I don't have that option with the Nexus. But I want it.

My thought was I'll just upgrade to an iPhone 6S and flip that on CL or swappa or something to get the funds in cash to pay for a Nexus 6P. Of course I'd be without a phone for a day or two, not a big deal in the grand scheme.

Except I talked to someone at work who said the problem with that is the phone you get through ATT is "financed" thus if I sesell it whoever buys would have issues and it would be labeled stolen.... I wonder if anyone can confirm this.

Are there any other people in a similar position to me who are lookin at ways to get a Nexus 6P?

I don't have the cash up front which is why I don't just order it.

Thanks guys.

Matt
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Did you try here?

http://www.gethuawei.com/affirm

They have a financing option, but the interest is brutal if you don't care about that type of thing.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Definitely not an option for me... I already pay an arm and a leg for loans as I put myself through paramedic school... Don't need another!

But thank you:)

Matt
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
I totally agree. I hear you can get it financed with Google FI for no interest but I can't confirm it just read it here. Was just throwing out an option for those people who don't mind paying upwards of 30% interest. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I see that.

Do you know anything about the NEXT program doing that to a phone if you sell it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I don't need another phone plan just to finance a phone, though I am interested in Project Fi I am not interested in it at this very moment.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I have looked on the ATT forums. It appears I can sell a phone that is on the NEXT program, however the buyer must be on ATT service...

I am still on the hook for the payments on the phone as well. Despite the risk this is an option. I do not want it to be the only option. Still searching..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Cam:
The NEXT program and others like it are a rip off to consumers, before they subsidized the phones so you'd sign a 2 year agreement, now you pay the full retail price over time AND you sign a 2 year agreement? RIPOFF.

You've locked yourself into buying their phones, so you are stuck buying their phones.

The only 2 ways to get the Nexus 6P right now is through Google or Huawei.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I have 4 other lines in the account, it's not a ripoff. One other is on NEXT.

We would renew anyways, however there's no problem there. However now I'm looking at the Nexus and there lies the problem you bring up..

I think I might look into project fi, but then I'm paying 25% of my bill right now for one line. Not really interested.

Thus my thought was I'll get an iPhone 6s and sell it to someone who has ATT but no upgrade or something. Doubt there's a huge market for that..

I'm guessing you could unlock it and use it on another network though they say you can't. If someone buys it, it's no longer my issue. I'll pay the bill every month as I have for 3 years. They want to try and cheat the system that's not my doing..

Then I'd have the money to get a Nexus. However I don't have it without something like that. So, I'm stuck. Really looking for options here but I don't see a whole lot of them.

Matt
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Cam:
I actually think this is probably your best route, I think you'd be surprised the market for a brand new phone like the 6s.

If you ask a little under retail, I bet that'll sell quick, those who broke theirs but don't have an upgrade. On Verizon there is always a market for those who still have unlimited data. I bought my last two Verizon phones this way because I can't change my contract or I lose unlimited, does AT&T still have people on grandfathered unlimited plans? Or did they axe those?

Either way I think you'll easily get $500+ for an iphone 6s, which would help you recoup the cost of the Nexus.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I do not know, I was on T Mobile for close to a decade before we finally got tired of losing signal strength every time you walk into a building, among other things.

I will look at going that route then. It may be a month or so, and that will leave me with some time to see if carriers may indeed sell the phone, though it doesn't look to be the case.

I want to look into other routes here, but I don't see any that are jumping out at me. Thanks for your replies

Matt
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeebz:
Sell the phone if you can unlock it. I have AT&T NEXT, also. As long as you keep making payments on it they won't do anything. You just keep making payments as if you're "keeping" the phone. So you can sell it, you're just responsible to pay it off still if you have time remaining on the contract. I have a HTC One M8 that I got through AT&T and converted to a Google Play Edition. Once my 6P comes in I'll sell the M8 and continue business as usual paying it off monthly. When you go to de-activate your current phone and activate the Nexus just tell them you're keeping the phone and continuing to pay it off. They won't care.

EDIT: I should add I did talk to AT&T about this. The rep said if I sold the phone I can continue paying it off monthly as usual and wasn't required to pay it off in full to sell it. He said I wouldn't need to pay it off or anything to de-activate it and add the Nexus, either. You're not required to pay the phone off in full unless you're keeping it and want to upgrade to a new phone early through AT&T. Since you're upgrading through Google by buying the phone from them and just activating it on AT&T, you do not have to pay anything to AT&T. You just need to make sure the old phone is de-activated before you sell it, obviously.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Only problem, swappa won't sell it because it's financed. If you are honest with people, only an idiot will buy it for anything close to retail, because nothing is stopping you from cancelling service and there by blacklisting the phone.

Not saying you would stop service, but how would a potential buyer know.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Thanks. [MENTION=3686371]Zeebz[/MENTION]

I might have to do this. Seems a bit much for a phone. But it is a Nexus.

[MENTION=2527800]_Dennis_[/MENTION]

I'm looking to sell third party... And I understand that. I plan to be up front to potential buyers -- someone will need it. Only giving myself a few days to handle this when/if I go this route. I don't want to go through all these steps.

Matt
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfreemanoh:
I heard a rumor that carriers may have the 6P sometime later this year. Whether or not that's true though, I can't really say. So, if you don't find a way to get it now, you may be in luck in another few months.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
The phone I have isn't currently paid off for another 4. I have to pay the little remainder off if I upgrade early.

Matt
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Still searching for another option... Hope ATT does carry it

Matt
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeebz:
I don't see that anyone mentioned this, but if you buy the Nexus 6P from Huawei's website you can select to do a payment plan. If you don't have the cash up front to fully pay for the phone then that may be a viable option.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blindprophet32:
This is like Verizon's new setup... I switched our plan over to their new plan system to get cheaper data... however I've never bought a phone through their little gimmick.... so I don't currently pay any extra/month for a phone. I also never will play their little game.. I'll take their savings and buy my phones elsewhere like my new 6P and just swap sim cards or go get a new sim card if they change again in the future. So really I got a pretty good deal switching while I already had a phone I bought lol.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Already mentioned, however the interest is outrageous. 30% or something I believe.

I did call ATT just out of curiosity, they can't confirm anything about the N6P. Will have to wait it out and just let it play out.

Matt
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeebz:
Wow. Did not realize the interest was that ridiculous. Yeah, I'd probably steer clear of that too.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SymbioticGenius:
Get a credit card with 0% for 12 months. Buy Nexus on the card. Problem solved.

BTW and no disrespect intended but if you have school loans and can't afford to spend $700 bucks... You probably shouldn't be looking for ways to spend $700 bucks. Pay off what you have and get your freedom back.

My $.02
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
No. We need people to keep doing this to themselves so we can keep everyone in massive debt.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I've got no debt. No disrespect taken. Not going to put everything on the internet. I have a monthly payment but not to a bank if that's making sense. The point is I am putting money toward my future, not leaving me with $700 in my pocket a month to spend on things i want. I'm smart enough to start away from debt. We'll see how it goes. Going to wait a few months to see if carriers get it. If not then I'll look towards saving for it.

Matt
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SymbioticGenius:
If you have no debt, and assuming you have some decent form of savings then the only question is whether or not this phone is going to be a significant enough upgrade from whatever you have to warrant paying for it. In all honestly I'm not even convinced it's a significant enough upgrade from my Nexus 6, but I got one anyway.

You always want to save, invest excessively and do the right thing but remember, prepare for 60 years from now but don't plan on it, because it's not guaranteed. Back in July I bought a brand new 2016 WRX, financed it and will have it paid off by years end. The smart move would have been to wait a few months and pay cash, but the last few months wouldn't have been nearly as fun :D. Always prepare for tomorrow but allow yourself to enjoy a little today.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I hear ya man.

Definitely won't be an issue here after this year. It's just the home stretch I'm in now. I'd love this phone. Every year I think "this is the year I buy a Nexus"

Every year it's either fallen flat and there were other options that fit needs better, or they came out before or after my upgrades. I was buying off contract until switching to ATT. Now I'm not and this is where its gotten me. I finally want to pull the trigger, quite bad. It might not be the "best" hands down but its the phone I want. So I'll get it one way or another. Just going to wait it out until I'm done with this installment in 2 months. By then we'll have a better idea, either carriers will pick this up of course assuming Google let's them and they still want it, or they don't, and I will just buy it outright.

WRX is fun, enjoy it!

[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boydee:
Hi there!

I recently bought a N3N (N7505) :good: for mobile drawing. Since I bought it used, I found KNOX at 0x1 and the 4.4.2 it came with was already annoyingly buggy (lags everywhere, packed RAM & phone app FCs). I did manage to root it through CF-Autoroot (I think?) and even put a custom recovery (TWRP touch v2.8.7.0)

The problem is, everytime I download a ROM from Sammobile (md5 checks confirm undamaged downloads), it fails to flash via ODIN (flashes ALL THE WAY till the end and says FAILED - phone reboots perfectly to previous OS like nothing happened) and I'm wondering if I downloaded the wrong ODIN files, or is there something I'm missing?

So, i'm currently on N7505XXUCNL1 and wondering how I can reflash it (or a similar one) to refresh the phone anew :angel:

Please do give me a simple process as possible cause i am just a beginner in this stuff. Thank you.

Couldn't find a way to post a photo so i posted the photo on my Avatar, hope its good enough. This phone is a Samsung J1, it's a phone i got from somebody and it wouldn't turn on, when plugging it into computer the computer would recognize it and it would warm up about when touching motherboard, no overheating at all though. After closer inspection on the mainboard i found this, is there anyway to reattach this missing chip, maybe to take one off a donor board that looks exactly like it.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyinj54:
Seem to be having an issue that I can't take care of that I've tried everything that I know that I believed could be causing the drops. The issue I'm having is any time I turn the screen off while driving my GPS will lose its connection after about 5 minutes. I was also losing data so I figured it was an application causing that issue with that problem I got resolved by removing the battery saving application called battery guru. That was actually shutting my data connection off with my screen off so I got rid of that completely but I still seem to have the problem with my GPS drops. My data stays up just fine but it seems like clockwork every 5 minutes the screens off I'm driving and I get that voice GPS connection lost. All I have to do is click the back button in Google Maps and reload my route and BAM its right back up and going. Now I can leave the screen on and I will not lose the GPS signal whatsoever until I turn the screen off. Have went through all the settings that I know of and of course the only battery saving application that I had installed and I can't seem to find the issue. I also use the search tool and couldn't find anyone else with a problem like mine. Does anyone have any suggestions or have seen this on their device? I'm beginning to think this may be a hardware issue I'm not sure. But if it was a hardware issue you would think I would be losing the connection all the time not with just the screen off which leads me back to a software issue. I'm going to keep freezing apps with titanium to see if I can find another culprit. I just don't have anything else installed that should have anything to do with that. Thanks in advance for any help for insight you may have.
