According to this document

https://01.org/android-ia/user-guides/android-memory-tuning-android-5.0-and-5.1

64 bit indeed increases ram usage a lot...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torax242:
I also have the impression that this is rather an issue with the Nvidia chipset or the general hardware design than with the system being 64bit.

This morning I had a very LOL moment when I read the Google Pixel C review of The Verve:

>>The specs are also huge: 3GB of RAM paired to the latest Nvidia X1 64-bit processor. That all seems good, but something is amiss with performance on the Pixel C. There are inexcusable pauses and latency, especially when launching and switching apps. <<

http://www.theverge.com/2015/12/8/9869980/google-pixel-c-tablet-review-android

So the problem still seems to be out of control. Too bad.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterk-1:
There are many threads about the Nexus 9 and memory issues but I have yet to see any reports of specific analysis of the issue on a problem device. I've had no memory issues with the Nexus 9, 7, 7(2013),5 and Asus tablets. I seen no evidence that there are hardware differences between Nexus 9's (except the pre release version tested for FCC emissions had a Miracast chip) and I believe it is down to the apps that users run. In support of this opinion:

Resets are recommended to clear the issues.

Google state at Investigating Your RAM Usage Although Dalvik and ART perform routine garbage collection (GC), this doesn’t mean you can ignore when and where your app allocates and releases memory. In order to provide a stable user experience that allows the system to quickly switch between apps, it is important that your app does not needlessly consume memory when the user is not interacting with it. Has anyone with memory issues looked at the recommended tests at the link above?

The quality of apps published. Anecdotal evidence (I hope it's wrong) that publishing an app on Google store can be done in 30 minutes but Apple requires "days". I've never owned an Apple product I'm just saying that to me, not a software developer, that the compliance standards imposed on the software tested may allow bad coding to slip through.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
Hello,

I am newer to the Android world. I recently made the switch from Apple / iPhone / ios. I traded in my iPhone 6 [MENTION=218907]sprint[/MENTION] for a Nexus 6 and sold my Apple TV and got a Nexus Player. I have no regrets and have not looked back since! I am currently running my Nexus 6 / Nexus Player bone stock on Marshmallow 6.0 (MRA58K).

I am looking for a smooth method to lock and unlock the bootloader on my Nexus 6 without it wiping my phone every time. Also, what is the best root method for a Nexus 6 on Android 6.0?

Thank you in advance!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
when you unlock your bootloader, itll wipe your whole phone, nothing that you can do about that. and the root method.. its the only true method, and best. it involves unlocking the bootloader, then fastboot flashing twrp recovery, then flashing SuperSU via twrp recovery. and that it. then you boot up with root. every nexus is done this way. takes about 3-5 minutes.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
I see. Is the method for the Nexus Player the same?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i dont have one, but it should be exactly the same. every nexus device is rooted the same way. but, just so you know, on marshmallow, you will also need to flash a custom kernel in order to get root. so youll need to flash a custom kernel then supersu in twrp recovery to get root on marshmellow.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
I mainly went for the Nexus 6 for the display size and stock Android experience. I know Nexus devices are the "king of root" but I think I'm just going to leave mine be. Just run stock 6.0 with the bootloader locked and unrooted. I really want to utilize Android pay anyways.

Why do you think threads need to be deleted? Surely it's better they remain so.others with the same question may find an answer.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well, i have one suggestion, you should at least unlock your bootloader. in android now, you need to enable unlocking in a setting. if, for some reason, you get caught in a bootloop, and dont have your bootloader unlocked, you wont be able to unlock it to reflash a factory image. it will just become a doorstop.

Hello,

I am looking for a smooth method to lock and unlock the bootloader on my Nexus Player. Although being it is not a phone I guess I could just leave it unlocked... I am also looking for the best current method to root the Nexus Player on 6.0. I have been searching but I keep coming across guides for lollipop.

Thank you in advance!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] failmatic:
Unlock/root guides are similar. They are the same except for the files used.

For Android M - i use fugu-mra58k. Use Chainfire's beta-supersu-v2.51 and it requires custom boot img, can be found on his tread http://xdaforums.com/apps...ellow-t3219344. There is supersu2.52 but im not sure if it will have issues. My NP was already unlocked so I just flashed factory,moved supersu2.51 zip, boot into bootloader and flash twrp and CF's custom boot.img. At this point DO NOT restart NP, just boot it into twrp and flash supersu (you'll need otg+mouse attached). reboot and you should be good to go.

after 4 months of not using my acer iconia w510,i forgot the bios password.

could someone please explaine me how to reset acer iconia w510 ,.

is there a way to flash to acer iconia w510 , just like flashing an android device?

i would be verry thankfull.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] allyalla:
Of cause you will...

This is the only 100% working solution:

hashes and all childish stuff described just everywhere do not work for Acer W510/511. Their BIOSes completely locked by Acer. There is no battery (eprom), no hashes - nothing to do as you could do usually in such case on other PCs. Thats because of Acer do really intended to charge you with 100 bucks for solution of these stupid problem. But, fortunately there is existing much more better alternative, please follow | these link. All you need is a flash drive formatted as FAT32 and couple free coins. Good luck!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Nelutzu.work:
1. download file

2. put DisablePassword.efi in the ROOT of SDCARD or USB Flash

3. connect SDCARD or USB Flash (OTG+HUB) to w510/w511

4. PowerON and hit F3 many many times until, tablet will reboot 3-5 times .....keep hit F3.

5. Try boot BIOS (Power + VolDown)

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] sudros:
Thank goodness I found this!!

I have two Acer W3-810 and like them very much. One was bios passworded and I had no idea what the password was. I have tried for years to remember but could not. I found this on July 4 and thought sure, why not. And it worked perfectly. I finally got into the BIOS after several years of trying. I don't know why it took me so long to check on XDA. I am here all the time for Android roms for phones, and my old lenovo tablet, but guess I never thought this was popular enough to be on here. Should have looked long ago. Thanks soooo much for putting this up here and allowing me to give this old tablet a second lease on life.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] itsmemario:
Hi there.

I also managed to forget the password of my old W510, which it asks for when I want to enter the BIOS.

As I dont have the original keyboard for my ACER W510 anymore, I attached a small USB hub, together with a standard keyboard and the file on a FAT32 USB Stick.

BIOS is set to boot from USB first. But it only boots DVDs from an external USB DVD ROM drive.

Sadly nothing happens when pressing F3 on the standard USB keyboard.

I also tried the DOS Boot Stick with the Acer Password tool "clnpwd.exe". It wont boot when pressing F12.

Tried various USB sticks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scpy4jH6HY4

A windows 10 DVD boots from a USB CD Drive, but sadly I cant press any key when it asks for it.

So booting works...more or less.

Hi there,

thanks for this Thread. I forgot my UEFI Pasword as well and tried this tool, but had no luck so far. Formatted the sd-card as fat32, once with my Linux machine, once with a windows Laptop. When I start the Acer Iconia I pressed F3 many times but it always booted straight to the Windows 8. Am I doing sth. wrong ? Do I need to keep F3 pressed ?. One more thing I will try is to add an external keyboard if the Acers one is broken. Any other ideas ?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
Anyone find or know of a good leather belt pouch/holster for a bare or minimally cased 6P? Know there are boatloads out there, just can't seem to get the internal dimensions on them. And quite a few seem to be made for something in a big (otterbox defender) case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] android01:
After a bit of reading, I discovered our 6p is exactly the same dimensions as the iPhone 6s plus. Just shy of 1mm which is really a non issue. So it kinda opens up a whole world of possibilities. Hope this helps!

Personally, im deciding between the nite ize double wide or extra tall. Ive owned a few of these nite ize cases before. They are the highest quality ive found. Ballistic nylon, and a belt clip that actually locks around the belt, rather than held by friction. Almost impossible to take off the belt by mistake, ive actually snagged on door frames before and come to a halt because of how well built these belt clasps are. Its a TPU " O " shaped belt loop,with a notch cut in it. You have to squeeze it to get it on and off. Id go so far as to say its almost child proof removal wise. I have never lost or dropped the phone in these cases getting in and out of fire trucks or aircraft. the most serious S**t ive been able to find to date. Not like the friction based belt clips you'll see in the posts below mine. Personally, i dont think its very cool to drop my phone off my belt when getting up out of a vehicle. So i really dont mess around when i pick a holster. Try to find one better , and ill buy it. But i bet you cant.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
Thanks, that helps alot. Hadn't thought of going that route at the problem. Hadn't considered the dearth of accessories as a downside to the 6P. Had a bare phone snap in holster and an Otterbox Defender for my Note 4.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
No, I really need the belt clip part. If I had my druthers I would have a bare phone holster and then an Otterbox or Pelican which both come with belt clip holsters. The only time my phone is not on my belt while I'm out is when it might be in the cargo pocket of a pair of pants/shorts. I have this in my Nexus 6P Accessories wish list on Amazon.

Right now I can send some books via email and they sow up on main screen but I would like to go into app and select which book to read like on regular android. Maybe there is some app to do that?

EDIT: ok found a way to have books in Books app but they need to be on internal anyway to make it work to read books from SD-CARD? internal has like 5gb space left and ext sd-card 32gb.. even if I send the books to the email they do still somehow get saved on internal sd.

Please share how.

I've been putting PDF files on my device every which way I can, but they never show up under books.

They do on my older Kindle Fire HD, but not on the Amazon Fire under Fire OS 5.

The only way I can view them is to go to docs, which gives a fairly cluttered view. :(

I did email it with "convert" and it aappeared, but the conversion was dreadful and totally destroyed the document.

I also tried to convert to mobi with Calibre. Same poor conversion.

So if you know how to get a PDF into the Books section, please let me know.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkuzeeII:
I go my MXPE with the leather back and this morning I noticed a dark spot on the leather this morning on my way to work. I get dark spots on the leather when I splash water on it, and I was at a bar last night with the phone sitting on the table so it could have been sitting in some water from the condensation from the glasses there. But every other time I've gotten it wet the color returns to normal after a few hours. It has stayed the same color all day so I'm not sure if it's a water thing or if maybe my battery could have gotten hot enough while it was on the charger overnight to produce the burned look on the leather.

Anybody got an idea or insight?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cacarrizales:
Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to the XDA forums. I am constantly on here because I love all of the developer support and questions and answers that I can refer to. That being said, I have a question of my own.

Does the Nexus 9 heat degrade the life of my battery?

Now I am completely aware of all the issues of the Nexus 9 tablets. Light bleed, excess heat, too powerful of a processor. I've seen and experienced it all, but I still like the tablet for what it is worth.

When I first got the tablet back in mid-July, the first thing I did was plug it in for about 8 hours. I did use it in this time to update the software and the apps. I remember the tablet getting really hot (because any device does when it is charging). I kept using it but did not track the temperature or anything. It was really hot though, pretty much too hot to touch back there. I used it for about 30 minutes and then let it finish charging.After it was done charging, I just unplugged it and used it normally.

For these past 2 months, I have used the Nexus 9 a fair amount. Mostly for web browsing but I have also used it for a small amount of gaming and typing for school assignments. I installed CPU temp to monitor the temperature of the CPU. Within these 2 months, my Nexus 9 would always hang around 105 degrees F, especially in Chrome (I am aware of this issue as well). When downloading or updating apps, it can get a little hotter, maybe around 110 degrees F.

The other day, I flashed Android M on it (and am really happy with it, by the way). The tablet went through the "optimizing apps" screen, which takes forever. I notice that every time I get this screen, my Nexus 9 heats up like crazy. Once it was done optimizing all the apps, I went into CPU temp and my CPU was at 125 degrees F!! This is the highest it has ever gotten since I first got it, and I fear that temperatures like these will shorten the lifespan of the battery.

My Nexus 9 battery seems to be running the same, but with all this heat generated, will my Nexus 9 battery degrade faster in the long run? Thanks for all of your replies

Its normal, I also has a nexus 9 and what I did is get any app the support cool down device (root or noroot) and it should help and don't use chrome as default browser, because it try to use all the CPU power to perform fast (to fast sometimes) and because the nexus 9 has cooler problems and just makes it lag and to increase CPU. So just use other browser
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SJ@XDA-IIs:
Original WWE ROM from Dopod comes with an application called 'Network Wizard'. What it does, it auto detects the network settings as soon as a SIM card is inserted. The CAB file from this application is stored on the Extended ROM.

Unfortunately, when you flash your device with the cooked ROM, the application no longer works. It will only work with the Dopod ROM.

So I take the courtesy to modify the file to make it works for all Hermes ROMs.

Operators included in the database are from: Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Tested to work with Schaps 3.54b ROM.

Enjoy!

Alternatively you can also use the Kaizer Network Wizard CAB file from JUV. However, this one won't auto detect a SIM card settings. You have to do it manually.
