[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
Yes, that is how Google implemented the phone so a voltage hoping solution on the charger end doesn't work. But a voltage hopping Charging Solution will be faster over the entire charging cycle.

If we assume two solutions 5V/3A or 5V/3A, 12V/1.5A then once the battery is sufficiently charged that the current draw drops below 1.5A at 5V then moving to 12V will push more current than 5V can. Charging is not steady state. It is why your phone goes from 0% to 30% in no time flat, but from 80%-100% seems to take forever.

I am actually encouraged now that people are demonstrating higher current from Type A chargers than legacy and that Google's web page for the Type A-to-C cable has a footnote that the charge rate is not phone dependent with Type A-to-C, but dependent on the output of the Type A port.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] yblaser:
I'll say this one more time, that is not how battery charging works. The voltage and current applied to the battery to charge it is regulated internally and has nothing to do with the bus voltage. Putting 12V on a single cell LiPo battery would fry it. If more power was available you could increase the charging speed at the low end in the constant current stage (although the voltage on the battery would still be <4.2V), but the 80%-100% time is limited by the battery not how much power in any combination of voltage and current you have available.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sirxdroid:
Looks OK on paper, but there's only one way to find out if the build quality is good and what it can deliver in practice. Personally I'll wait to get my 6P and experiment with what's in the box first. I'll be sure to use the Ampere app (if it still works on the 6P and Android 6) and also the USB dongle meter that I mentioned in a previous post in this thread.

I'll definitely need a longer cable for the car and I will have to decide whether I will continue using the Scosche 2.4A car charger type A or look for a type C car charger. The problem I had with the N5 in the car was that it was still discharging even when plugged in with Waze on and Bluetooth music streaming. It was the cable, even though I thought it was a high quality OEM cable, it could only deliver 600mA while the phone was using about 800mA. The problem was fixed once I replaced the cable with a high quality charge only cable. These days with the high power requirements it is important to buy quality chargers and cables rather than jump on the latest cheap ebay deal.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] km8j:
What is that "one way"? I already bought it and ti will arrive today. How on earth would I know if it is going to blow up though? I'm less concerned about the rapid charging as this is just a sporadic car charger cable to use with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZZG6IKU?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
I believe that cable and charger should safely charge your 6p.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] km8j:
Is it a valid assumption that any name brand charger (old fashioned USB) like a Motorola, Samsung, etc. one would work safely albeit not rapid?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
I'm not sure I'd plug my $500+ phone into the cheapest charger/cable I could find, but assuming reasonable quality... Yes, backward compatibility should be maintained.

Charging speeds will vary with hardware which is dissimilar to OEM chargers.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sirxdroid:
The one way is to buy it and try it, which you will do soon.

I doubt a cable will blow anything up.

I still have my Note 3 on Sprint and with that I can take a call and still use my data. Where as my Note 5 (also on Sprint) I can't do that. Not really seeing an answer as to why. Anybody have an idea?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] henderjr:
Has to do with newer phones having one radio vs. the older phones having two. Googling "sprint data and voice at same time" has this as the first result. https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/217875 Post two explains it. Probably not going to get simulaneous data and voice anytime in the near future unfortunately.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] obliviousmnd:
I can use data while on a call. It is limited to 3G but it still works so that tells me the hardware is capable of doing both. I'm on n920p unlocked using on AT&T
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] henderjr:
That's because AT&T is using GSM. Different radio than CDMA Sprint uses. Note 5 must come with both but generally lock the GSM radio? That I'm not sure about. What I do know is older phones had two CDMA radios put in them (such as the S3 on Sprint). One dedicated to voice -- another dedicated to data. Therefore you could do voice and data. GSM has always been one radio because that one radio can do both tasks at the same time. They got around it on CDMA by simply adding another radio in there and dedicating each one to one task.

Title says it all - do you know a way to connect paired telephone to activesynci without starting the synchronisation? Sync takes lot of resources (opening outlook with 200MB PST, onenote, etc) and sometimes I just want to quickly upload a file or install an app to phone, without unpairing an pairing devices again.

Is it possible to force AS to eg. ask user after each connection if user wants a sync (like it does when you plug in a new device)? Thanks!

Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good luck.
[Android General] dmcgregor:
For the last month or so I've been having various problems with my phone and have flashed different versions of Cyanogenmod multiple times. Normally I then immediately login to my Google account, download Titanium Backup, restore all my apps, and go from there. But last week when I restored to CM 11 I decided not to do that right away. I'd noticed that Google Play Services, or Android System were constantly the top users of my battery, and I'd also been getting lots of force closes of system apps. So I figured why not try life without a Google account for just a little bit. My restore actually had one of the minimal GAPPS packages with it, but I haven't signed into Google and have disabled all of the Google packages I could.

I installed both F-Droid and the Amazon App store, and that got me to about 80% of the apps I actually use on a regular basis. I then went on to use my apps to see what if I really missed. The answer to that is, so far, not all the much. I'm using a really minimalist search based launcher, which is great...but I do miss having some information readily available via a widget. Some apps I used weren't available in either Amazon or F-Droid, but I did find an HTML5 app on the Fireplace Market...which seems to be totally fine for my needs.

The biggest surprise has been the battery life. From the time I first got my phone 3 years ago, even when it was running stock with only a few apps, it was a bit of a struggle to get a full days use out of my phone. And the variability was crazy, some days it seemed like I could run through a full battery in about 4 hours, while other times I'd get almost a full 24, both with similar usage patterns. I used battery monitor apps to look into it and sometimes they'd give me some useful information, but a good chunk of the usage always seemed to be core Android functionality. But this week my battery life has been measured in days instead of hours. The first time I went about 72 hours before plugging my phone in, and it was still showing 48% battery remaining. And this was a period where I was using my phone probably more actively than normal, installing and configuring a lot of apps, browsing the web, a couple of hours reading books, etc... I've seen similar life over the last 3 days, but I haven't let it go as long this time before topping off.

So I can't say for certain that this is exclusively due to a lack of GAPPS, I have far fewer apps than I previously did, and any or all of them could have been responsible for excessive usage, and I'm using a minimalist launcher, with no widgets, etc... But still, overall I'm really amazed at the dramatic difference. I didn't even know it was possible to get 4+ days out of a normal smartphone battery, this puts it pretty much on par with my old dumb phones.

So has anyone else run without a Google account for very long and seen similar results, or is this just an anomaly?
[Android General] rzac:
Nice to find an ally :)

I decided running my Moto G (CM12.1) without GAPPS about one week ago using F-Droid and Aptoide as alternative stores and Cal/CardDAV via DAVdroid for syncing. So far I do not miss much. Battery life increased substantially, at least since then!

Did you encounter any issues due to missing Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) or maps API? This was actually my major concern, eventually even decreasing battery life because every app needs to pull the messages on its own. However, this seems not to be the case ...

One tip: If you use the AOSP keyboard and like to swype .. you'll need the libjni_latinimegoogle.so lib in your /system/libs/ folder.
[Android General] dmcgregor:
Glad that I'm not totally alone here.

I've been having some problems with the email client pulling in new Exchange messages, it works sometimes, but stops pretty regularly. That might be related to GCM I guess? Exchange services has also started taking up the majority of my battery life. I'm still getting respectable life off a charge, but it's down to about 2 days vs. the 4+ days I was seeing originally. For maps I'm using Here, and haven't noticed any problems in my offline searches. I haven't done any navigation with it yet though. Will need to give that a try soon.

The AOSP keyboard worked fine for me out of the box, including swiping. I'm running CM 11 instead of 12.1 though, so maybe that's the difference?

I also need to look into what's required to setup my own CardDAV server, or maybe OwnCloud? Is DAVDroid just used for syncing, or does it become a new contact app? I'm currently having trouble keeping my personal and work contacts separate, since the personal contacts are stored only on the phone and not associated with an account. Definitely want to find a better way to handle that.

All in all I'm still liking the experience. I haven't missed anything from the Play Store yet. My biggest issues have been because I also switched to the Search Based Launcher, which takes some getting used to. I'd like to find a more "normal" homescreen type launcher so that I can use some widget based apps, but so far haven't found much to my liking on F-Droid. CM's Trebuchet feels severely lacking in customization and ADW is buggy almost to the point of being unusable. The couple of other launchers I've found on F-Droid that are based off of Trebuchet or AOSP won't install on my phone. So still experimenting there.
[Android General] rzac:
Uhm, no clue about Exchange messages, sorry. But same here with the e-mail app draining battery (about 30 %). However I'm still experimenting with IMAP IDLE (push) vs. regular polls. Maybe that does the trick ..

DAVdroid is basically a syncing adaptor for the regular contacts and calendar. If you don't wanna set up your own server, you may also use an owncloud provider or an e-mail service providing these features, e.g. posteo.de or openmailbox.org.
[Android General] dmcgregor:
When I first set up K-9 for my personal mail my battery use spiked, but it settled down the next day even though I've kept it set to push. I wouldn't mind so much the Exchange Services battery drain if it would reliably fetch my work emails, which is probably 90% of the reason I even have a smartphone in the first place.

My email provider has said that CalDAV/CardDAV is the next feature on their list to build and rollout but no estimate on when to expect it. Do contacts synced via DAVDroid show up as an "account" in Android? Does the contact app recognize that they are separate from other contacts on the phone if you go into contacts to display? For me I only have Exchange listed and if I deselect that then no contacts show in the list.
[Android General] rzac:
Yes, it's exactly like that. Same with my synced posteo contacts.
[Android General] dmcgregor:
Great. That's exactly what I want. Thanks!
[Android General] Fupri:
I lasted a couple of days but nearly every app needs Google Play Services so I got GAPPS back.
[Android General] rzac:
Which ones e.g.? I haven't run into such problems yet. But maybe my app "portfolio" is rather minimal.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paclaco:
First of all, sorry by my english.....jajaja

Well, if you want to flash a factory image.......you need first of all.....install the SDK Manager. ( In google webpage you download the shamu image and the SDK Manager)

Install SDK Manager.

Extract factory images.

OK, now you must go to the folder of the factory images extracted.....and copy all the files.

Put this files in the folder plataform-tools of the SDK Manager...... (C\windows\program filesx86\android\plataform-tools).....In my case.

With the files copied, now go with the rock and roll, jajajajajaja.

YOU MUST HAVE THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK. ( if you have it, then you can jump the step 2 to unlock)

Go to the folder of plataform-tools.......and open a command window. ( you open a command window push the shift key and click right button, and you select open command window here....)

Once in the command window......go to start.

1.- conecting the mobile to computer into bootloader mode

2.- unlock the bootloader.....to unlock the bootloader you should write in the command window the following ....."fastboot oem unlock" and push enter...You must accept in the mobile the unlock.( this step erased all)

3.- now, go to flash the factory image.....as we already have everything you need in platform-tools folder.......only you have to write In the command window"flash-all" and push enter........

That is all......wait to finish and enjoy with marsmallow.

Once......sorry by my english.
