[Nexus 6P General] Spaderess:
For a Nexus device the support window is 3 years. N5 is 2 years old and just recieved Android 6.0. It will continue to get updates for atleast another full year. Unfortunately that is likely to end when android N comes next fall.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Interesting that this phone has everything you ever wanted. Did you know you wanted a 1440p phone with a fingerprint scanner 2 years ago? Probably not. I'm sure innovation will continue, though maybe slowly. I'd like to see better battery tech.
[Nexus 6P General] ywnmmsb:
This is how the technology cycle is. You cant have the same level of developments every year throughout the products/os cycle.

I believe many of the features we see added are already developed. They just hold back so they can have a balance of Big n small changes each year & also market couple of features as exclusives for the latest version.

It is the same with iOs as well. You will not see a lot of big changes. Many of them will be hardware based. As os's get more refined hardware dependency will reduce. Today you can get excellent performance from a mid range android device. Tomorrow it will spread to lower end devices aswell. In principal its a good thing.

Right now the top most focus for any R&D of software or hardware company is battery life. The company that cracks it will play a major role.

Really? People are still hung up on sapphire? Sapphire is brittle. I want foldable screens. I still believe Nokia's concept of a phone that trifolds and then bends to fit as a watch is the future. No more carrying a giant brick in my pocket.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
True... I guess for me I mean 2 years of getting a new android version but yeah technically 3 years support I suppose.
[Nexus 6P General] scoppola:
A G3 running BlissPop ROM is truly a thing of beauty! It's incredibly compact and lightweight for a 5.5" phone, and it flies without the LG software on it. It has a great camera (a step behind the current best, but I've had very few pictures I wasn't very happy with), and the screen as much better than it's reputation indicates it should be ... mostly, I think, because the default brightness is quite low. And the battery life is quite good ... I end most days with 50% after about 1.5 hours of SOT.

I'm mostly upgrading to the 6P because I usually buy a new phone every 6-9 months, but it's been 14 months and I need a new shiny object to fondle. I'm honestly not expecting it to be a whole lot better than the G3 for me ... better screen, better speakers (I hope) and a fingerprint reader may or may not be enough to compensate for the substantial increase in bulk. I had a Note 5 for a week, and it just didn't feel like much of an improvement so I sent it back, which I have never done before.

And my G3 has a replaceable battery, and I could probably be happy with it for 5 more years, if I wasn't such a gadget whore.

Of course I certainly don't think an iPhone is the answer .... that's just ridiculous!

Whoops double post
[Nexus 6P General] ylexot:
Here's an idea...try to find a friend with an iPhone who would be willing to trade with you for a week or something. Wipe the phones, trade your SIMs and see how the other side lives.
[Nexus 6P General] Poke_N_PDA:
Though it had it's issues, the Nexus 6 strong enough in all the categories that I stuck with it for a full year. The only thing strong enough to pull me away now is the 6P. I fully expect it to keep me locked in for the next year as well. However, it could be good enough that I don't feel the need to upgrade to next year's nexus. Only time will tell.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Brava27:
Hello,

Has anyone used a Quick Charge portable battery pack before? You know how when you plug it in to the wall or outlet it will say "fast charging", well I don't get that with quick charge.

Is this normal or should I be panicking?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
Which model do you have? I have the 15,000mah PB-T3 model & it fast charges my phone fine now. The battery pack itself even supports quick charge so the battery pack will charge at 9V with the Samsung adaptive fast charger or 12V with a certified QC 2.0 charger.

I say "now" cause the first one I received melted & died while charging it.

Have you tried another quality cable?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] DLovo313:
I got this one and it works great.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZCGLBT6/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_RTniwbKHYM6SX
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] malickie:
Also. You need to make sure your cable is plugged into the correct port. I am assuming you have one with two ports, either way if you do have the two ports only one of them is QC 2.0 enabled.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Apache0c:
I was looking at the 10000mah one, the PB-T4 which is 6.5 x 0.6 x 2.9 inches in size.

I cant find anywhere the dimensions of the PB-T3, is there any way you could measure it?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
The dimensions listed on Amazon & most other vendors is wrong. The dimensions you gave that's listed for the PB-T4 on Amazon is the size of my PB-T3. Before purchasing I was looking for dimensions also & in another thread someone measured the PB-T4 to be 6.25 x 2.5 x .75 which makes sense cause the PB-T4 looks narrower & thicker than the PB-T3.

I store mine in a Maxpedition TC-2 pouch.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Apache0c:
Wow, so you are saying you can fully confirm the PB-T3 is exactly 6.5 x 0.6 x 2.9 inches?

If thats the case then I'm going to buy it tomorrow.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
Yes, mine measures 6-1/2 x 2-7/8 x 5/8.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Apache0c:
Perfect. That seems like the best all around battery pack.

Heck, it's thicker but the footprint isnt much bigger than the LG V10 (or the Note 5 for that matter) itself.

I can carry the phone and batterypack together in my front jeans pocket easy.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
No problem. Yup, that's what I was worried about, being too big but as you said it's not much bigger than my N5 or the V10.

I was unlucky & the first one I got melted during it's first charge (the battery pack, not while charging my phone) so just to be safe keep an eye out on how hot it gets on your first charge. I liked this one the most out of all the others I was looking at so I took a chance with a replacement. Haven't had one problem with the one I have now.

What I like about is the most is it also supports QC2.0 fast charging & at 12v (but you'll need a QC2.0 charger to charge it at 12v & not an OEM that's only 9v max) so it's not just the output that is fast charging.

EDIT: Oh looks like I already mentioned the fast charging input in this thread.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Apache0c:
You helped me a lot on this, thanks.

Check it out, I've got my shopping cart loaded up. That Tronsmart 54W, 5 port charger does the QC2.0 12V so I'm hoping it will charge up the Batterypack nicely :)

BTW, for anyone interested this is another nice looking single port charger also that I want but am holding off on: http://amzn.to/21GlCBh

Thanks again :good:
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
Nice. That charger should do just fine. I like the Tronsmart stuff. I charge mine with the 3 port Tronsmart.

http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Trons...UTF8&qid=1449392027&sr=8-1&keywords=tronsmart

I also use their compact fast charger in the car.

http://www.amazon.com/Tronsmart-Cha...TF8&qid=1449392027&sr=8-12&keywords=tronsmart
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Apache0c:
Yeah, I was looking at that 3-port you have. Interesting that it is such high wattage, at 42W when the 5 port is only 54W. I'm wondering if the 3-Port has faster charging or something but all the QC2.0 port specs seem to be the same.

You might have seen, I'm planning to get this one for the car: http://amzn.to/1OOlcSp
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] whiskey_jd:
Try this one. At least, you can use this in the near future because of type-c port. I'm definitely satisfied with this product.

Need help with the aukey power bank

Hey i read you've been using the aukey charger.

I an looking to buy yhe same but spectical about the performance.

Does the power bank itself charge using fast charging? If so which charger you use.

How long does it take for the power bank to charge completely using the output of your charger.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] musiqlives:
I purchased the Aukey 3.0 do to the fact that it work with both micro USB 2.0 & USB Type-C 3.0 compatible. (I won't have to buy another one next year! Lol) I have to say it's quite remarkable. Small enough to put in my pocket with phone connected using a small cable. I got from 55% to full in about 17 min. while screen was off. Takes a while to charge the unit itself (which is to be expected with 10,000 mAh) The unit itself can not be fast charged. It also will not fast charge a phone while it is being charged itself. Simply put, with a $20 price tag (now $30), you can't go wrong. Next time I use it, I'll get some screenshots & add to thread.

AUKEY 16000 mah charge time

Hi all,

Thanks for a help-full post. i bought a aukey 16000mah power bank.

When i recharge the device using my Asus charger (5v 2A & 9V 2A ) from

my phone the device does not show full charge indication. The light on

the power button flashes (Breathing effect) RED, GREEN and then

WHITE. It never goes to SOLID WHITE which would indicate 100% charge

even after plugging it in for 9-12 hours.

I have also used a Aukey 10000mah power bank and in 5-6 hours its

light status goes to SOLID WHITE.

Is this issue only with me or has anyone else faced the same? How long

should the device take to recharge itself with 5V 2A rated charger

which is also mentioned on the device's INPUT rating.

Also would like to know if the light ever goes to SOLID WHITE with other users.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] The Apostle:
Wish one of these codes worked on the 20000mah.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] TechNyne66:
You should avoid Fast Charge or anything like that. It's extremely bad for lithium polymer to be "Fast Charged" the technical behind it is look at your power brick. Anything over 5v charging is to much and will shorten the battery life. I've seen 5.3 and 9.0. I use a 4.8v 2A charger on all my devices. The lithium polymer gets forced above it's operating voltage of 3.7 to 4.1v.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] The Apostle:
I picked up the 16000mah powerbank last week. I've run through 3 cycles so far and it really does not seem to have 16000mah of power. The instructions say that the white light is 100-70% charge. Green is 70-30%. And Red is 30-0%.

I have tested on both the 2.0 Quick charge and the regular charge ports. I have tested on a Nexus 10, Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 and also a note 5. If the powerbank is fully charged and the Note 5 is half charged, the powerbank will go from white (100-70%) to green (below 70%), in order for the Note 5 to go from 50% charge to 100% charge. The Note 5 only has a 3000mah battery.

Anyone else have any good or bad scenario is they can offer?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tw1n5nak35:
I have not had the chance to try any other chargers besides the samsung first party fast wireless chargers. I thought after a year, the price would at least drop. I would still recommend the samsung version. Yes it's still $38.00 or some dollars. But it used to be like 45 or 60 before. But it does look appitizing that you can get a a decent fast wireless charger that will work with our note 5.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CUViper:
Is there any way to get a full image for "adb sideload", which doesn't depend on current system contents? I'm still locked, so I assume it would have to be signed from Google, but maybe this unicorn doesn't exist.

I'm in the marshmallow-brick club, desperately searching for solutions while I wait "7-10 days" for HTC escalation to get back to me. The LMY48T OTA apparently applied fine, but then MRA58K bricked me. I wasn't watching the update the whole time, just came back to see it stuck at the Google boot logo. I did a factory reset both from hboot and from recovery, still gets nowhere.

Recovery says I'm still on LMY48T. I tried to sideload MRA58K, and I get "system partition has unexpected contents". Since that check is part of the update script, I thought a mythical full-OTA wouldn't need to bother, but I'm probably grasping at straws.

I'm still OEM locked, and until now I didn't realize the full implications in "Developer options" of not enabling "OEM unlocking". How lovely. I'd be happy to blow it away with a factory image right now, but it seems there's no way...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] symbiosoft:
What worked for me

I just sideload the Nexus 9 (WIFI) image from here: droid-life.com/2015/12/09/download-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-updates-for-nexus-devices

I was at 6.0.0 (MRA58N) according to the error messages I received when I tried to revert to lollipop. But, like you, the OTA update soft-briked my Nexus 9 which was working fine before on lollipop. I was just not aware that I had to OEM unlock it before the OTA update. Well...

The update process is long but it worked!

No more OEM-locked-endless-boot loop.

---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 AM ----------

Applying that image using adb sideload (while your device is locked) will erase all your data. I didn't find a way to not lose everything. On first boot, I was asked to provide my master password and did receive a message that my data is corrupted, then the device did a factory reset. On next reboot, was able to log on Google account, etc.

At least, my Nexus 9 will be working again!

Hi All,

I am owning a micromax canvas a1 phone, In this whenever I connect my phone to pc I am not seeing the drives in it. I am facing this problem from the beginning it self. Recently I migrated to Android 6 (Marshmallow) and I still face the issue.

There is no issue with the charging of the phone.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natc:
Hi All,

I've been having a number of problems over the past few weeks with my OnePlus One, not quite sure what to do so I thought I would ask here for any advice.

Overall my major problems:

High CPU usage (and therefore high phone/CPU temp to the point of needing to turn off because of overheating)

High battery drain (and the battery will not last 5 hours even on sleep)

messages take between 1 ~2 minutes of hanging to send.

Phone randomly waking in sleep (contributing to the battery problem?)

I've looked into it a bit, I've disabled the Google Play Services from waking in sleep, cut down and uninstalled most apps. I've let it drain completely and left it off for 1 hour before charging to full and turning it on. I've tried to do everything people have suggested and nothing so far has worked.

My Phone Build:

Completely Stock CM12.1-YOG4PAS1N0 [Installed through OTA]

Kernel version 3.4.67 - untouched

Never rooted (I've been lazy), no custom rom, nothing touched in bootloader

Always kept safe, no damage, no water damage

I am thinking of doing a factory reset to see if that solves the issue, right now just looking on a way to backup all of my sms/app data (since I can't even titanium because it's not rooted) [All suggestions welcome if you have any good backup software/app that I can use on unrooted phone]. I do suspect a possible virus, hence the want to factory reset, especially about the messages taking so long.

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Happy to provide battery log or anything if necessary.

Thanks!

Hello, all. Just purchased a new Moto E 2nd gen from Boost Mobile today... I was just wondering if it is possible to just root the phone with KingRoot, without actually unlocking the bootloader? I don't want to risk accidentally bricking my phone or causing any issues.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtermmin:
Based off what can be done on the bootloader-locked AT&T/Cricket XT1527 and Verizon XT1528, it is possible to get temp root via Kingroot, but you'll end up losing it after reboot and /system remains read-only. Not very useful for root apps, no custom recovery, no xposed.

The Boost variant can be officially bootloader unlocked from Motorola via the Moto Bootloader Unlock program. The official unlock program carries 0 risk of accidentally bricking your phone, as the unlock code given by Moto either works (allowing you to flash TWRP and install root via that), or doesn't (absolutely no changes are made to the phone).
