It's not much different than the transition from mini USB to micro USB. Just takes time for all the new products to overtake the new ones.

[Nexus 5X General] ubcjack:
I thought the killer feature of USB C is any device can charge any device...

However, so far I still haven't seen any information on how this works... No one even tried on charging mac book with mac book or chrome pixel with chrome pixel...

Anyone knows the detail how this works and is there any requirement on it?

Also how does device know which device should be charging and which should be providing current?
[Nexus 5X General] 0.0:
I believe next year all flagships will have USB C. Google (and perhaps OnePlus) is leading the way
[Nexus 5X General] minnemike:
that is cool if true.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
But not only phones. Bluetooth headset/headphones, external hard drives, etc. all need to and will switch to type C.

Just got my Zenpad S 580CA I forgot that has USB C so micro USB is slowly fading away in my house. Micro USB had a good run, time to let it die.
[Nexus 5X General] Ajfink:
I already bought some C-B cables and am planning on grabbing another one or two. Overall, I'm pretty jazzed by the change.
[Nexus 5X General] Killer9090:
How much I dislike those snapping micro usb cables... Will gladly switch to USB-C devices.
[Nexus 5X General] mr2324jgf:
so very true my friend!
[Nexus 5X General] agentdr8:
That's not a feature of the USB C connector, but of USB 3.0/3.1 power delivery specification. See here for more info.

The C connector increases the amount of current it can carry to 5A.
[Nexus 5X General] ubcjack:
I have read wiki long ago already and it's very unclear so I was searching if people really tried but can't find info. Usb 3.1 is pd 2.0 but from wiki looks like old pd can already do device to device just at 5a 2v only.

In July 2012, the USB Promoters Group announced the finalization of the USB Power Delivery ("PD") specification, an extension that specifies using certified "PD aware" USB cables with standard USB type A and B connectors to deliver increased power (more than 7.5 W) to devices with larger power demand. Devices can request higher currents and supply voltages from compliant hosts – up to 2 A at 5 V (for a power consumption of up to 10 W), and optionally up to 3 A or 5 A at either 12 V (36 W or 60 W) or 20 V (60 W or 100 W).[97] In all cases, both host-to-device and device-to-host configurations are supported.[98]
[Nexus 5X General] ubcjack:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...-but-its-sketchy-on-older-phones-and-tablets/

confirmed working... as i expected PD is a separate spec and it's up to if they want to implement it.

Being USB 3.1 only means it supports higher than 5V/2A, those other spec in PD 2.0
[Nexus 5X General] ohporter:
The one constant in this industry is change. Give it 6 months and you'll no longer have any complaints about USB-C as there will be a flood of inexpensive quality cable options.
[Nexus 5X General] SmashBrother:
Just waiting for more devices to have USC Type C.
[Nexus 5X General] emd2009:
Any USB c chargers?
[Nexus 5X General] blinkin:
do you know what kind of charger do you need to be able to use quick charge (assuming you use appropriate cable adapter)?
[Nexus 5X General] oscillik:
So because my USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable seems to not support USB Power Delivery 2.0, my phone says it'll take 3 hours to charge fully from 50% - doesn't matter whether I use a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port. Looks like I'll have to try getting a specific USB 3.1 Type-A to Type-C cable next.

Really not liking USB Type-C right now...
[Nexus 5X General] :
So you need 3.1 to be able to quick charge? Wouldn't it be easier to just but an adapter and use the existing cable?
[Nexus 5X General] km8j:
What cable specifically did you use? I ordered the NewLobo one which says it supports 3.1: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00URK1V1U
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
You're better off just waiting for fast charging approved accessories. I don't really think that USB-A to C cables will really get it charging to its full potential. I think it really has to be C to C. I could be wrong though.

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S5.
[Nexus 5X General] oscillik:
I had bought a USB 2.0 cable, and I think that's where I went wrong. Looking into the details, of course a USB 2.0 cable with Type-A on one end wouldn't be able to provide the full power charge ability, because it is limited to the power delivery of the USB 2.0 Type-A end.

My theory is that a USB 3.1 Type-A to Type-C cable will work, as USB 3x ports are able to deliver more power. Just a theory though.

To be fair though, there is very little concrete information surrounding this.
[Nexus 5X General] jimv1983:
I don't mind it at all. Things change. It will take some adjusting but it has advantages. Did you really think that the MicroUSB connector was going to stick around forever? The thing I don't want is some proprietary connector like Apple has but that isn't the case with USB-C. It is a standard that will be coming to all phones that currently use MicroUSB.
[Nexus 5X General] mecasull:
I'm not an expert... But I believe USB type c connectors are just a doubling of all the pins found in a standard micro-b type. What this means is it can be mirrored such that It can flip around any which way, but a secondary consequence is, there are now two sets of power delivery pins.

Because of this, a c to c could leverage the two sets of power pins in both the phone and the charger (providing, say 1.5 A across each). And A to C cable would only have one set of power connections on the A connector, and therefore may only be able to utilize 1.5 A.

I could be completely wrong, but I think it makes sense.
[Nexus 5X General] bhavi_jp:
I just experienced a major issue with USB-C charger.

Having only one charger (the one that came with 5X) I carry it with me to work so I can charge the phone if the battery runs out at work. It worked out well for 3 days.. However on Friday I forgot to bring the charger back home. I realized it after I reached home and the battery was sitting at about 60%... I never thought I would encounter this situation since I have probably 5 micro usb chargers and 10 cables sitting around and I could always find one at just about an arms reach.

So now I am going to have to buy at least another charger that I keep at work and a cable which can connect/charge through laptop that I keep in my laptop bag.

Oh.. and about the charger forgot to bring from work... I was not going to run the risk of spending 2 days without a phone which I use heavily during the weekend so I went back to work and got the charger .. luckily work is just 10 minutes away!!
[Nexus 5X General] br125:
Sounds more like an issue with forgetfulness.. It happens. I got some A to C cables from monoprice which are great quality. I use the stock charger at home and use the A to C at work and in my truck. Charges pretty quick despite not being a C to C cable.

Plus, in a pinch I can use an old charger, a friend's charger, etc. I don't see a need to get a new charger just yet.
[Nexus 5X General] mrdeucie:
I connected my 5x with a USB-A (2.0) to USB-C cable to my computer last night to transfer some files and when you go into the notification shade you choose options for the USB connection and one of the options is to charge the other device connected to the cable. Did not actually select it, but the option is there in the operating system. Granted nothing may have happened due to the cable I had connected to the devices.
[Nexus 5X General] agentdr8:
Yep, but still not specific to the C connector type. The power delivery spec could be applied to other usb connector types, albeit at lower current ratings.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oste23:
Good evening everybody.

On my note 4 Friday version I am experiencing low volume in earphones while calling with fi as whatsapp. My question is: has anybody know a way to increase it? Maybe just changing the values in the file mixer_path.xml? And in case which lines? Or maybe there is a specific mod to flash?

Many thanks.
[Samsung Gear S2] count01:
Hello everyone. I'm considering the gear s2 but I don't have a Samsung phone. I know it will work with other android phones, I'm just curious as to how much you lose by not running on Samsung. Anyone have more than one phone to contrast between Sammy and others?
[Samsung Gear S2] telemachos:
I'd like to know the same thing.

I heart there would be limitations when using:

Build in Messaging, email apps --> cant reply from watch
[Samsung Gear S2] FitzAusTex:
I'm using a Nexus 5, and the email app and text/messages app is missing. That said, you CAN reply to both easily through notifications, but you can't create an email from scratch. You CAN create a text from scratch by using your contacts or "Buddy" app. When you get a call you can reject it, but you can't swipe to answer it. Not a big deal, since there is no speaker to hold a two way conversation. However, my android wear watch allows me to answer or reject, and I've gotten used to answering on watch which activates the speaker phone on my phone.

At any rate, it is my belief that using the S2 on a non-Samsung phone is pretty close to how it works on a Samsung phone, the good and the bad.
[Samsung Gear S2] integlikewhoa:
This also happens on S2 when you use a Samsung phone also.
[Samsung Gear S2] FitzAusTex:
Right, but on a non Samsung phone I only get the option to reject, not answer (which for me sucks, but for most people is probably fine).
[Samsung Gear S2] count01:
How does it play with play music?
[Samsung Gear S2] OMEiAM:
My Gear S2 Classic won't connect to my Nexus 5X. :(
[Samsung Gear S2] Qualle1991:
I was using it with my HTC One M8 (EU Version).

Everything was okay more or less.

BUT, I also have the issue that I only can reject calls and not answer. This is not how a Smartwatch should work like. If I use my Bluetooth headphones and there is a call coming in I would like to swipe on the watch to answer the call. Bad Samsung!

AND the German support is very poor. Nobody felt responsible; nobody can create a ticket for development. So nobody will get noticed about that issue. They just wanted to tell me, that my phone is not supported, but this is not, what the Samsung website and marketing tells me.

Another annoying aspect is that sometimes the reconnect took more than 5 minutes.

Long story short, I will return the watch today. On the one hand because of missing compatibility and on the other hand because of missing support for not Samsung users. If they do not support when the watch is new, what will they do in a year?

I liked the design very much and some of the features, but yeah I want more for my money.
[Samsung Gear S2] FitzAusTex:
Also for 9 days (since 12 October) Nexus phones on Marshmallow cannot stay connected to S2's Bluetooth. You have to reset S2 every time S2 goes out of range of phone. Very frustrating...
[Samsung Gear S2] davy917:
Using with LG G4 and pretty happy with it. No native messaging or email app, but I'm not looking to create any texts or emails from scratch on a watch. Also SMS is probably my least common way of messaging someone these days so not losing much there.

You can reply with short messages to notifications which works great for me, especially for email. I think the only other thing missing is swiping to answer a call. S health works great, one of my favorite parts of the watch!

Also I bought the new moto 360 first and returned it, previously owned a Pebble. All touch navigation on a watch was just awful for me, I couldn't see myself enjoying the watch. So I decided to give S2 a try and I really like it so far.
[Samsung Gear S2] ghisura:
HI,

for people Having a phone other than Samsung.

Have you access to paid apps ?

thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] davy917:
not as far as I can tell

but sorry :( I can't understand your answer (I'm french) do you mean no samsung phone have not access to paid apps ?
[Samsung Gear S2] Bubbles379:
Nexus fail

I just bought a Gear S2 yesterday and I've run into this too with my Nexus 5. Super frustrated.
[Samsung Gear S2] FitzAusTex:
Yup, day 10 and still no way to keep S2 connected to phones on Marshmallow.
[Samsung Gear S2] overon37:
I have a Nexus 5X, yesterday i went to buy this S2......

but impossible, the samsung gear app not available for my phone on play store. i went to play store from apps.samsung.com/gear, because when i look for it is impossible, and from the web link to the play store and say that is not for my phone.

Is for the phone? for android 6?
[Samsung Gear S2] FitzAusTex:
interesting. I got my S2 while my Nexus 5 was still on 5.1.1 and the S2 worked fine (I had to get the Gear app from the Samsung Web link). Then on October 12, there was an update to the Gear app on the Play Store from Samsung that said it was their Marshmallow 6.0 update. I had been waiting for two weeks to update my Nexus 5 to Marshmallow just to make sure there were not Marshmallow bugs that were gonna brick my phone, like what happened to my phone with Lollipop last December. I finally decided to upgrade phone to Marshmallow, and the Gear app to Marshmallow, and since October 12, S2 will not stay connected to my Nexus 5. Samsung put out an update to Gear app on October 15, and October 16,and still could not connect the S2 to phone. 14 days later, and still cannot keep S2 connected.

Now I'm curious that your Gear app is saying not compatible with your 5X. They must have quietly(!!!) retracted Marshmallow support. If so, that explains a lot, and almost makes me happy, cause I haven't even been able to make them understand when I called them, that Marshmallow phones cannot stay connected to the S2. Now I feel that they probably know.
[Samsung Gear S2] Lou-:
Needless to say I'm disappointed with the s2 paired to my lg g4, but I'm rather stuck; I like the hardware and watch control via the rotating face to much to return it, but lack of paid apps (and lack of free apps variety), and the fact that it's not running android wear are huge draw backs.

That being said, it does what I need, and that's time and date, notifications and can reply to them from the watch. I am looking really hard at the Huawei watch, but we'll see...
[Samsung Gear S2] overon37:
Then, with this info, we can say that app for pair the phone with this watch is not for android 6.

my nexus 5x is stock, all stock and the app is not available for it :confused:

only one thing we can do, wait, wait, and wait
[Samsung Gear S2] FitzAusTex:
Did you try launching the url that's on the S2 screen from your phone? Assume yes, but asking anyway, since that's how I got the Gear app to show up in the Play Store. Gear app didn't show up using search, only via the url. Then again, perhaps we are right, and Samsung is now hiding Gear app even using url for phones on Marshmallow.
[Samsung Gear S2] overon37:
yes, and the play said that, that my phone is not compatible with this app. If i look for it in play store i cannot find it, only from the link that you have on the phone, with this problem. So, no way to install it
[Palm Treo 750] chrisareston:
Ok so I downloaded the Cheeimg file from some web site and I formated my MINI using windows xp to FAT32 and then copied that file to the card and booted the 750 holding the PTT key and pressing the reset button, but all I get is the screen with the color lines and serial. Could I have a bad ROM file? I can not find it anywhere else so if someone could email me a link that I can get it from that would be great! just PM me!

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750] chrisareston:
Never MIND

Never mind its working now guess it was not FAT32 but it said it was re formated using flash format and it worked!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markolc:
Hello. I'm seeing an issue with the HDHOMERUN View app in Nexus player, specifically after I upgraded to Marshmallow this week. It seems as though the Live TV stream plays at a different refresh rate than what it is supposed to be. Lots of judder. I can confirm that hardware acceleration is turned on, also I am plugged into Ethernet. Using HdHomerun Prime. The same problem exists in the Live Channels app.

However, using the Kodi app on my Nexus player, the HdHomerum plugin plays back beautifully Live TV.

I'm just curious if anyone else has seen this?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Istrul:
First of all. I have an international version Nexus 5 (live in Norway), I updated to Android 6.0 Marshmellow a few days ago OTA. Here is a shot the stock battery monitor, just to clarify what I mean. This thread is NOT about battery drain or anything associated with bad battery life.

A screenshot of my battery the day after I installed the OTA update:

http: ----- //imgur.com/a/mLjEH

A screenshot of how my "battery" has been today:

http: ----- //imgur.com/ZOOhuGo

Excuse the links, just remove the ----- and spaces. As I am a newly registered user, I am not allowed to post links.

After I installed the update, I used my phone normally for that day. Then, some time during the evening, the phone turned off abruptly even though it was at 15% battery power. Okay, I thought, and found the charger. Now I noticed that it wouldn't charge nearly at the normal speed. I was starting to suspect either the charger or the battery. During the night, however, it charged to somewhere right below 70%. Now it just seemed like a battery calibration issue. Fine, I thought, and searched up tips on re-calibrating the battery.

Sadly, it turned out that the slow charging that I had experienced the night before, persisted. By this time, I had tried different chargers, USB-port and a few different outlets, I had also tried replacing the battery with a spare I had lying around, all without any luck. As the phone creeped closer and closer to zero, while having the charger plugged in and the little lightning icon saying it was charging (although saying it was not, in the battery menu), I did a factory reset as suggested by some. The reset turned out to be futile, and for the rest of the day, the phone has been reliant on the charger to live, and the battery curve has been flat as pancakes.

Here is a list of what I have tried, so you don't have to waste your time.

-Different chargers, the ones coming with the phone, as well as a plethora of different brands I had lying around

-Turning off WI-FI while charging (someone on the Great Internet suggested it...)

-Replacing the battery with one I know work

-Factory reset

-Letting it turn itself off then charge it while off

-Turning it off while charging

-Charging it in the Fastboot menu (again... someone on the Great Big Internet suggested it)

-Checking the charging port for puppies and other rubbish that we have lying around there

-Keeping the charger connected for longer periods of time

Really the only alternative I haven't tried, is rooting it and rolling it back to 5.1 or something. Although I hoped I would not have to do that when I got my lovely N5 a few years ago... Any suggestions are devoured willingly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drant22:
So I seem to have a similar issue.

My Nexus won't take charge either, but I will admit to dropping it/replacing screen and battery and its been opened a few times so my issue, as well as yours, may be on the hardware side. I am convinced it is the charging board inside the phone, which is located at the bottom and connected to the motherboard by a ribbon cable. I am contemplating buying a new charging port board on etradesupply for around 15 bucks plus shipping since I wanted to sell the phone and get a N5X.

Damn thing couldn't wait to do this for another couples weeks....spiteful little phone.

So my question is, has it been dropped/mishandled? These parts are very tiny and can be ruptured with repeated drops.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Istrul:
Hey, thanks for the reply.

Yes, sure it has been dropped and abused like any other phone, but the reason I am suspecting this update, is that it happened the same day as I installed it, and that I hadn't dropped the phone for two weeks before that. You might well be right, and yes, I agree, spiteful little things! It could have waited a few more weeks so I get my new Nexus 5X/6P (not quite sure yet).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drant22:
I suspected the update, but I've had the update since I was able to adb flash it, so I don't think Mallow is the culprit. The part will take a few days to come and I am going to try to diagnose it before then so I'll PM you or post here if anything changes.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Also, I didn't see this possible fix in the original post on your part for the battery issues.

Go to settings->location->location settings-> and turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. Then go to Backup and Reset and reset network settings. Reboot and that should fix a possible battery drain issue that plagues Mallow for now.

It was MURDERING my battery, as well as several others. It's a known issue by Google.

It mostly happens when you try to compile 64 bit kernel for a device that is currently running 32 bit one.
