[Nexus 5X General] etwashoo:
I just saw the iFixit teardown

https://youtu.be/VYFbSpvSE-w

I retrofitted a Galaxy S5 and S4 to wireless charging with Qi receivers off of eBay:

I know there is one for the G4 (since it's in their flip cover), but I was wondering if it is possible to work with an existing coil and wire it up to the Nexus 5X.

First, the cover pops off like a Galaxy S5 cover:

Here is the back cover and internals. Normally, the NFC covers the battery, but I am thinking it might be above the camera since there are connectors from cover to internals and would make sense for Android pay. So, what is the big shield on the right that covers the battery? (see question mark):

I think the battery posts are under the white piece of tape on the right - easy access for an NFC receiver to charge:

Worst case, the battery contacts are accessible under the midframe (10 screws):

So, do you think a retrofit of an existing Qi receiver would work? (the NFC part might be not used). The shield on the back over the battery might have to be removed, but I am not sure of it's purpose. Alternatively, anybody heard if any company is making a Qi receiver for the 5X? I'd buy the 5X over the 6P if I could get wireless charging.
[Nexus 5X General] ellesshoo:
I guarantee it's do-able. I don't know if the battery fuel gauge contains the logic to simply solder the coil output directly to the leads going to the battery but it shouldn't be a problem to solder to the VDC/GND pins/traces coming from the USB port. The only thing that concerns me, and I'm saying this w/out having looked at how USB c accomplishes it's reversibility, is that the pins for power aren't achiral (for lack of a better word) depending on the orientation of the plug. Would need to read up on that.
[Nexus 5X General] etwashoo:
Just saw another thread opened shortly after this one was posted:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/nexus-5x-qi-wireless-hack-mod-t3231461

Guess I had the right idea :) , but the video shows only the teardown, no connection.
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

The NFC antenna is around the camera, you are correct on that. That foam material, I'm guessing that is what it is, is there to fill any gap between the battery and the back case to avoid the back being able to press down, and being soft it works with the varying differences in tolerance with the the battery thickness. It could even be to fill a recess that was suppose to be filled by a wireless charging coil.

Notice though the foam continues up to the site of the fingerprint reader. That should remain, it's job is to apply pressure on the contact pads of the flexible circuit board.

In the video where they show a mod, what they have done is used a QI coil which has it's own circuitry which outputs 5 volts, this connects by thin wires to the +5v and ground of the USB socket, and from there goes to the battery via the normal charging circuit, the phone doesn't know it is wireless charging, it just looks like a USB charger is attached. This direct connection may cause a problem when plugging in a normal USB charger as you end up with 5 volts in reverse going into the QI circuitry and charger, presumably though that circuity is protected with a diode so it doesn't matter.

You shouldn't connect anything directly to the battery terminal as this will bypass all the charging circuitry and would cause damage and likely trigger the batteries protection circuits and cut it dead.

How cleanly the back refits is another thing, their can't be that much space.

I am using NBD 8.1 on my cingular 8125 and I am having to constantly calibrate the screen. Basically every time I wake the phone up, I have to calibrate. Also, during the calibration, it does not always recognize my taps. Does this mean my phone is messed up or is this a common problem when using WM6 on the wizard? Also, if my phone is messed up, how do I return it to the original condition so cingular will honor my warranty (besides loading stock ROM)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] raskell:
I have used this ROM on two different 8125's without problems. Before installing the 8.1 ROM, did you flash to an OEM ship ROM? The T-Moblie 2.26 is recommended here in the forum. I used the 2.07 QTEK ROM to avoid some of the missed calls and radio problems reported by others.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jamesr242:
Yes, I have. I have tried both the T-mobile official one (IPL SPL 2.26) and the Cingular one (IPL SPL 2.25) and both give me this problem. So this isn't normal I take it? Probably a hardware issue right?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] cyndication:
I am experiencing the same thing, do you have a screen protector on your screen?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] tsumi83:
debris

One thing ive noticed is that if I dont leave the phone in my case this will happen WAAYYYYY too often. I smoke and the little tobacco bits love to lodge themselves in between the screen and case thus "pushing" on the screen. I agree this is very annoying and recommend keeping it in your case on your hip. I also got some really thick 3M screen protectors; I dont know if this helps b/c I never have my Wiz in my pocket.

Hope this helps!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] datawrhsdoc:
tsumi83's got it right. This is a hardware problem usually caused by particles getting between the screen and case.

Best solution is to slide a piece of paper in gap between case and screen to get the gunk out. You'll be surprised how much junk comes out especially if you keep your Wizard in your pant pocket.

By the way, after getting the junk out, you'll need to re-align.

-J
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jamesr242:
Thanks for the tip. I used a note card to get everything out and it seems more accurate than ever. I always keep it in my link filled pockets with no screen protector. Do you think a screen protector would help the lint and other stuff from building up?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] RecIV:
Statement post. Not a question.

I have seen many famous Roms on this site showing older 5.0.2 history versions on google, but when

I follow those links, they redirect to the updated 5.1.1 versions.

Please post and Sticky any 5.0.2 ROMS for S6 Edge below. (There are people who still need them..)

I can not find any working download links. My Japan Softbank carrier did not update to 5.1.1.

I need 5.0.2 Roms please. I see history of them on google. I can find no such working download links.

Thank you.

My phone model is sm g925z. I would be willing to test any phone version, of 5.0.2

I Found CarHD 5.0.2 digging on google. for anyone else who may need it.

I will test it now and report on the status after.

https://meocloud.pt/link/338ef8e8-be07-48e2-a8ef-eb904342b631/CarHDRom_V.3.3_G920_OF4.zip

SimpleRom 5.0.2 link

Testing now also.

https://mega.nz/#F!CYFX1TZQ!Sa10c0z-6R4a8uTsi9CWGA

both failed to connect to wifi or cell service.

both were full of crashes.

do not bother trying.

I tried a third 5.0.2 Rom. a sm g925i model, it could connect to wifi only.

but it would crash when trying to connect to the phone app.

if I can get anything working with the new rom, I will post links if I get anything working.

probably the junk will not work.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeeperDon:
Just an FYI to any other 1Weather app 5X/6P users, since I'm a fan of the app. Here is a problem I found and a fix.

The app was fine on my Galaxy S4 (L) and my Nexus 9 (M) and both recognized the fact that I had installed and purchased it a few months ago. A new install just now on the 5X, of their latest 3.3.4 version, basically does not work well at all. I did an uninstall of it on the Nexus 9 and a reinstall there also didn't work right.

So, since it installed fine a while back, I found an old 3.2.1 version apk online and installed that. It works fine now, and I would think it still will whenever the OS gets around to updating it to that new 3.3.4 version. I suspect that since the 3.3.4 ver was running fine when it was applied on top of a prior running copy.

Here is the link to the old version.

[The 1Weather dev team got back to me and confirmed the problem. They are thinking it's changes in the M Pay system causing the problem. They confirmed my 'use an old ver' procedure is fine.]
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeeperDon:
The problem is supposedly fixed now with the 3.3.5 version, no need to worry about a clean install of the Play Store version.

[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
Well after a year of heavy abuse I finally did it. I was surprised as it was in the case, not terribly surprised as it did fall. Well I can't afford $175 to send it in, I don't trust myself repairing. I bought the Note 5 when it came out and immediately went back to the Nexus 6. So I have JoD but there is no phone I am interested in that they offer. Only OEM phone I am interested in would be the m9 because at least they have a few AOSP roms. Samsung doesn't because of stupid Exynos, LG appears to have a very WIP AOSP. So now I can deal with cracked screen or use my crappy note.

I remember back in the day before security was hot topic almost any flagship could have a Nexus like experience. Now a days your pretty much stuck with stock roms and depending on carrier root may not even be possible. In 2015 looks like only options for AOSP is Nexus, Moto, and HTC(via custom rom).
[Nexus 6  General] Shilalygawd:
So it's for sure been a year since you purchased your phone? If not, you have your one year warranty through Motorola still? If you are, that sucks. Fortunately mine occurred within the one year lol

Hope you get it fixed asap. AMOLED displays are expensive, 175 $ sounds fair when you compare that to 90$ of Samsung S3 i9300 display.

For now using note 5, at least it has a better screen and camera. Even still Nexus is a Nexus. I don't even care about roms and root. I just don't like bloaty skins.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
I also bought my phone through T-Mobile so I am pretty sure I don't have Moto care and its probably been a year anyway

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fello88:
Hi everyone,

I have the following problem:

The USB port of my Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195), on which I have installed CyanogenMod 11 and CWM Recovery, is broken. The mobile phone can't be charged or connected to the PC. A defective battery or cable can be ruled out. Now I would like to reset the device back to its original state in order to get it repaired, because the warranty is still valid.

I've already unrooted the phone and the Flash Counter is set to 0, so only the Stock Rom needs to be installed, I think? However, I do not know how to do this, I can not use Odin because of the broken USB port and Mobile Odin is not yet compatible with the model as far as I know.

Is there a solution to this problem? Perhaps a compatible alternative to Mobile Odin or a Stock Rom that you can install via CWM?

Regards, Fello

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiyip:
A common and unsolved problem with the Moto E is apparently calls that connect but cannot be heard without using speakerphone or a third party speaker system. (i.e. headphones). I had this problem and the only "solution" I could find was to reset your phone. I didn't like this option so I messed around with the settings on my phone and found the setting that was causing the problem.

I don't know if it will work for you, but for me the solution was this simple.

open up Settings then navigate to Accessibility then turn off the Power button ends call option.

Hope it helps others out there who had the same problem.

if I use a Rom for an incorrect model version, I lose Wifi and Cell service.

is there a way to repair the wifi and cell service on the new test rom?

if I return to my working backup stock rom, I do have working wifi and cell service.

I did backup my efs folder. I tried to manually copy and paste the files, I tried to restory only the EFS partition in TWRP from a working rom. none of those solve the issue.

is it possible to fix wifi - cell service on a rom with the wrong model number ?

for example, I use the Japanese softbank sm g925z model s6 edge phone.

the roms are from 925f or 920xx
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
Long story short, there are situations in which some MVNO users need a "home only" roaming option. Data Roaming is easily disabled, but it seems that Verizon did not include network roaming settings in their menus...so voice roaming is always automatic.

My G2 spends way too much time connected to USCC towers... which is fine on standard VZW, but not on VZW based MVNOs that have no voice/SMS roaming enabled.

Does anyone know of a build.prop line, app, PRL update method, xposed module, or any way to totally disable roaming in LG stock roms?

Cyanogenmod 12.1 does have the "home only" option...but I really prefer the stability of stock based roms.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
Bumping this... at this point there are no stock based roms with the ability to disable roaming, and CM12 and CM13 do not have sticky settings and end up roaming anyway.

There has to be a way to disable voice roaming...
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
FYI on the off-chance anyone else is following this...

This build.prop edit does not work to stop voice roaming (causes system UI fail loop)

ro.com.android.voiceroaming=false

Got to be something along these lines, though...
[Verizon LG G2] mightysween:
Still eluding me. I can't be the only Verizon MVNO G2 user who doesn't want my phone to roam... anyone else out there?

Such a simple thing as stopping a phone from roaming, and I am stumped! :)

[Nexus 5X General] 95Z28:
If I actually needed a new phone this is the one I'd get. As is I don't feel like it is much of an upgrade over my 7 month old moto x 2014 so I'll probably return it. The performance difference in the year to year upgraded smartphone isn't near as much as it was a couple years back. If you currently have a last years high end device you may want to skip, if you use an older or low end device the 5X would be a worthy upgrade, it is a nice phone. I personally would never get a Samsung just because I hate the ugly hardware button they have on the front of the device.

As this is very early days I advise not to really use this as a daily driver because of unknown bugs, etc. Just see this as a taster for marshmallow. So in terms of features this is basically pure AOSP at the moment as in what ships with Nexus devices so no need to ask why x feature is missing. It's worked on by the CM team look at the gerrit link I posted above for more info.
