[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jun127:
BACKGROUND:

I have a 32GB Nexus 7 which has been plagued with a variety of issues ever since updating to lollipop at the beginning of this year. Previously it worked really well and ran like glass, no hiccups. When I say lollipop brought the plague, I mean bubonic levels of lag and bugs - 15 seconds to return to home screen, constant crashes, less than 5-7fps on transitions and scrolling, and so on. It runs so slow that sometimes it's impossible to type text. Typing in a web-field can lag up to 15-20 seconds, no joke. It hangs, randomly restarts and takes an outrageously painful 5-10 minutes to boot. Apps randomly shut down causing push notifications to stop working. Using it went from a pleasant and snappy experience, to feeling like being pimp slapped by Google every time I try getting something done. Imagine trying to check into a hotel with an online reservation, when your device randomly shuts down and takes 10 minutes to boot up again. This is only one example of the lollipop curse I've endured this past year.

Basically, it has become near useless on every level and so undependable that it can't even be trusted as an alarm clock. For a dose of perspective, my nook simple touch e-ink tablet feels faster. I've booted into recovery mode, cleared the system cache, disabled all but a couple apps from starting on boot, and other fixes, nothing has helped in the slightest. One theory I have is that I had xposed installed prior to lollipop, and I forgot about it (as I haven't really used it except to test out a multitasking module which I uninstalled). After updating xposed refuses to update or uninstall. As far as the eMMC being full as a cause for the issues, all I can say is I had about 5GB of space left when I updated 10 or so months ago.

Anyway, now to the hopeful solution:

I need to completely wipe everything and go back to 4.4.4. However, I have about 400 apps and 100mb free space on a 32gb nexus. How can I be sure to back up all my directory data and app data? The space is split between app data, random documents and other small media. I don't have any large files on the device (99% under 5mb each).

I have titanium backup, which I was able to successfully run a backup on all the apps and app data (hopefully) using a 16gb thumb drive. However, this seems useless for backing up all the data/downloads/media/etc. in directories. Ideally I'd like to take something like a macrium reflect image of everything before I wipe everything. Any ideas?

Also, I had tried to set up avast anti-theft, but the setup never worked and I couldn't register on avast.com. When I tried uninstalling the avast rootkit thing I got an error, and then I just uninstalled avast completely. Not sure if that makes a difference or if Avast still has some kind of low level bug on the system that is causing problems.

Just wanted to pimp my short review of QuakeVR for Google cardboard, it's playing at 60fps on a Galaxy S5, I'm using a cheap bluetooth controller and an unofficial cardboard to play it. It runs really well and was very enjoyable to play. It's definitely now my gotto game to show people interested in VR using Cardboard.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codedeveloper:
Has anyone noticed any performance issues running apps on their MXS/MXP?

I've found one particular Play-store app that performs very poorly on my device, compared to running on my wifes 2 year old LG G2.

The particular app I'm referring to is called 'Human to cat translator' (here). On my MXS it consistently takes 50 seconds(!) to get past the initial 'loading' screen before it's usable. On my wife's LG G2 it takes 3 seconds. (Once loaded, it's fine though.)

All criticism of my questionable taste in apps aside ;) - does anyone know why this would be? Is anyone else willing to test the app and see if it's the same for you?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjamminh:
Tried it twice, took 25 seconds each time fwiw.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codedeveloper:
Thanks for trying it. Wonder why it takes so long on the MXS, when an old G2 loads up in 3 seconds? :confused:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oaklands:
Are you still on KitKat on the LG phones. If so maybe there is something the game does not like about lollipop. Just guessing.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codedeveloper:
Actually, yes - the G2 is still on KK. Wonder if that's relevant?

Going to try some other devices this week if I can (including a Nexus 5 on Android 5.11).

Dalvik vs ART?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codedeveloper:
Well the MSX runs Lollipop which uses ART, so I would have expected it to be faster than the G2 (still on Dalvik) in that respect.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share with you the battery life, it became extremely good after this update! I am using my phone allot with reddit, viber, sms, mms, phone calls, internet, social media, wifi, 3g h+ on all the time and i still have ~50% by the time i go to bed at night :D this phone just got crazy good, cant imagine what will happen when the marshmallow update hits :D

Attached 2 screenies for the battery life, share your experience if you like :)
[Huawei P8max] coercri:
Yes, I'm finding that I have 50% plus available at bed time - this phone is astounding, best phone I've ever had! I just wish I could fit it in the top pocket of my shirt (my normal place for my phone - can't have everything tho I suppose :p).
[Huawei P8max] cashif:
Yep, this was my first comment in B026 update thread. Has been a very satisfactory update as the battery life has increased by 50% easily with tap to wake feature and am loving this phone. Am a pretty heavy user with calls/whatsapp/3 mail accounts/4 news services synced and by the time I go to bed, I have 50% battery whereas even in X2, which has the largest battery, I used to have only 20%. Loving this P8Max awesomeness!

Hello,

After 2 month the glass of the back cover of my Huawei P8 is broken without a shock. Today I don't now how the glass has been broken. I try to contact huawei to change it but I have no answer. For me the problème it that the rear glass is too breakable and I would like to know if someone has the same problem as me.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aida89:
Yes, and I don't know what to do :( only had the phone for a month and now I have to pay 1000kr for it to be fixed. The glass covers the camera as well which is annoying :(
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vb_sven:
same problem, i'll guess you only can contact the nearest huawei contact center to repair it... you can find it on the official site.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dani768:
My back glass is also broken. I found this on the internet:

aliexpress.com/item/Back-Rear-Cover-Top-Glass-with-Camera-Flash-Lens-Housing-Replacement-Parts-for-Huawei-Ascend-P8/32488602163.html

oh my god, i hope it wont happen to me, it happened for no reason?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ImJulienB:
The same issue happened with some Xperia Z-series devices. The cause? Overheating. My dad had the same problem with his P8 after three months. Mine however after six months has nothing but micro scratches on the front glass despite the numerous times it fell... Hard. Good thing I got a flip cover case.

I believe you can order the replacement part on the internet and look for a tutorial on how to replace the back glass on iFixIt. Good luck!

[True, this phone is a dirty trick . Huawei is not responsible are not interested in customer service . The HUAWEI P8 has a serious problem of production , the glass that protects the camera is very weak and breaks easily .

I have recently had this problem, I think the phone overheated whilst I was doing a backup in TWRP. I have ordered a new lens cover and will install this weekend.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] razvann974:
I dropped it on the floor 2 times and still the glass is not broken...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] beardedwonder:
This is only the camera cover on the back, it seems it is susceptible to cracking when the phone overheats.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] beardedwonder:
I have now replaced the cracked glass. The replacement has 3M tape already on it.

I removed the cracked glass, I would recommend putting sellotape over the glass as it cracks and is very sharp.

I then scraped as much of the sticky stuff off with a bit of plastic, a plectrum.

I then used some white spirit (a solvent) and then removed the rest of the sticky stuff with a cotton bud.

I cleaned the replacement part and fixed it to the phone.

It isn't a perfectly flush fit along the bottom, I think because of the 3M tape, but it looks good and protects the camera.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChavezD:
Could you please Upload a Photo of the new Glass?

Mine also broke about 2 months ago, but thank god the Crack didn't Hit the camera, it somehow went straigt around it. So i did Not notice it until a friend of Mine asked when my Glass broke?! Thougt he was trying to fool me Cause i didn't think of the backside and my Display is and was fine.

But so i maybe also want to replace the Glass, but Not if its Worth than now with a cool structure on the Glass :D
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
Hi,

Not sure if this is a Nexus 5X problem or an Android 6 problem, but Ive never had this before.

Just upgraded to a 5X, and whenever I plug in my headphones, Google now will come up saying "Listening..." as if I've instructed it to do a voice search.

I believe the headphone jack is shorting a connection, and making it think ive pressed the little button some headphones have, as this also happens when I only plug the jack in 3/4 of the way.

Is there a way to fix or turn off this behaviour? It's pretty annoying.

Cheers,

Jack

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
No one else has this issue?

Reading around it seems to happen with a variety of LG phones, it can't detect when youre using a normal 2 band headphone jack as opposed to the 3 band headphones with microphone jack, so thinks you're "long pressing" the button on your headphones.

Surely there's a fix for this, or a way to disable google voice search? This is so annoying.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cthip:
I think there's an issue with the 5X headphone jack. Some 3-band headsets work fine, yours seems to be behaving funnny, mine (Xiaomi Piston V2) don't work at all. There's a little more info here:

If it's happening with the second unit too I'm guessing the it headset you're using. What's the brand and model?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
Theyre AKG headphones (cant remember exactly what model). They worked fine with my old Nexus 5, and work fine with my Moto G so it must be a 5X issue. It also happens with all headphones ive tested with 2 bands on the jack.

I have the Bose IE2 earbuds and they have this issue, but only I'm guessing about 20% of the time. Shouldn't this be an all or nothing issue? Either the bands on the plug erroneously trigger the listening or not?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eirini_infotech:
Hello everyone,

I have had the LG G2 since Feb. 2014 and the GPS has been AMAZING. It could even find me in my home (and I live in a crowded city), and it was so accurate that the cursor would move a tiny bit if I went from one corner of the house to another.

Outside the lock was almost immediate (less than 10 seconds).

Suddenly (no major updates), the GPS couldn't find me at all in my house and even outside. If it did, it would hold the lock for a while and never ever manage to get a fix on more than 14 satellites out of 21-25 (on high accuracy with 4G assistance).

I sent it back to LG but "They found no issues" and sent it back to me.

The phone is stock. Never been rooted.

It runs Lollipop

It has had 3 factory resets and the problem persists.

[*] I still have warranty until Feb. 2016 so I don't want to open it and try the usual suggestion (video with tape).

Am I crazy to assume the GPS is dying and needs replacement? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated because I don't know how to persuade LG that my GPS is dying! :(

Even if I sold it, I can't afford to buy a brand new one. Where I live, it sells for 200 euros and a new one is 320 euros. I am a student and got the phone while working part-time, which practically took MONTHS to save up.

If it's still in warranty, shouldn't LG just replace the faulty part already?

you assuming it wont lock cause of his location?? and if it dont work why sell it and give the other person a not functional phone, its not the best answer..

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

they should replace it but have you tried using it in other places other than your house?? i mean when you go to an open space or less buildings have you check to see if it locks?? if it does it works then. maybe not at your home but if it does it outside in another place its all good.

Try using the latest Xposed Installer (v2.7 experimental1) from the Xposed repo. After each firmware update, you have to re-install Xposed again, as a firmware update replaces some files that are required by Xposed.
