[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os2baba:
Very poor brightness

Just got the 6P. Don't like the brightness at all. Am coming from the G3 and it's really sad. The Galaxy S6 is awesome. I always keep the phone at max brightness. Damn the battery, I say. I thought initially that perhaps the adaptive brightness setting was enabled. But it's not.

On paper it's brighter than the Nexus 6. But looking at them side by side, I don't see it even remotely brighter.

I hope that it's not really a limitation in the hardware and can be increased with a software mod.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brickedmyphone1:
Hello there, I am very very new, so please forgive if I do a mistake.

So earlier today I was trying to root my S5(SM-G900H) and I was trying out this method: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/04/how-to-root-galaxy-s5-recovery-root.html

Everything was going smooth, Odin showed me the "PASS!" too, but when I pressed the volume up, home and power button keys together, nothing happened and the phone was on the download mode, it didn't do anything. So I took out the battery and rebooted, and it rebooted normally and I was able to use it again. I tried the same method at least 10 times more but always failed. Then after some time I stumbled upon this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696537

Followed all steps except one, didn't uncheck the "Auto Reboot" box and the "F. Reset Time" simply because Odin didn't let me, the boxes were dim and the mouse didn't respond on hovering over them. So, now my mistake, I pressed start anyway and Odin got to the blue box saying "RESET" or something and my phone restarted and the "Samsung Galaxy S5" logo and the "Powered by android" logo screen came up and it has been stuck there forever. I tried getting it into recovery a lot of times but recovery just won't come however it does load the download mode, so I tried the same "[SM-G900*] CF-Auto-Root" method, only this time I used a version of Odin that let me uncheck all the boxes, I tried several times but it just got stuck on the download mode like it happened in the first method, I rebooted and still stuck on the black and white samsung screen, yes that's right, not even the boot up animation. PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP. I'M DYING

Here is a picture of what my problem looks like:

Download a stock firmware for your device model, and install it via Odin.

The best way to do it, is do it through kies3. Go:

tools > Firmware Upgrade And Initialisation, and follow the on screen steps. It will ask you for your serial number and model number, so have it handy. This is how I have saved my galaxy devices numerous times.

Since I installed WM6 I can´t recieve incoming calls. The phone lights up but nothing more, and when I click on the reception or phone symbol when it lights up it says "no service" (translated from Swedish).

It was also some problems with Active Sync 4.5 since I upgraded, but those problems might just be because I needed to reinstall it.

Does anybody please know how to fix this, otherwise tomorrow it will go to the repair-shop and I will lose 12 days and the order in my life. : (

The sim-card works on another phone and it worked with WM5, and I have tried hard reset and a reinstall of WM6, but the problem persists.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wacky.banana:
Hi,

Did you try to install an offoicial version of WM6 or one of the cooked ones of this board? If the latter did you take all the necessary precautions first eg installing an upgraded bootloader, etc?

If you have not you may have bricked your phone.

Give us a bit more detail so we can see how we can help.

hello

I had the same problem when I upgrade to official WM6 HTC rom, the phone don't ring and I loose the network.

I solve the problem with flashing the radio rom with older version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Jmii:
I put wm6 on my phone the first day I got it. so I don't really know if this was a problem b4 with wm5.

mine only seems to ring my end after about 8 rings from the dialer so I have to get it within 2 rings b4 voice mail kicks in. Ypu think the if I update the radio as well will that help me?

ps. sorry for hi-jacking your topic seemed along the same line.

Sorry it took a while to answer (sleeping time).

Hi there

I had the same problem with mine after flashing to wm6 (but on a trinity)

Apparently there are 2 fixes:

1. Get a NEW sim , or

2. Flash radio rom back to an earlier version that was used with wm5.

Hope this helps
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Danne:
Thanks! :)

Two concrete solutions.

One last question: I use a Swedish OS - do the radio roms that is under: "Extracted Radio ROMs for your Hermes" work for me? Or only Anglosaxian PDA:s?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SecureGSM:
similar problem discussed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1442269#post1442269

in fact Palm Treo 750 (HTC Cheetah) and Hermes are based on the same radio module.

latest Palm Treo WM6 Radio version: 1.47 (Qualcom)

What that Palm utility does is simply downgrading radio to earlier version. This might work for Hermes in bootloader mode as well.

My point is: no need to install hard sspl if one can downgrade to earlier version of radio with _official_ radio downgrade tool.

I will try later and report back.

update: Palm Radio downgrade tool picked up that device is incompatible. no luck so far.

Hi Guys,

Got the exact same problem with Bouygues Telecom. I put a Orange Sim card and it is working so I assume the issue comes from Bouygues Telecom.

So that to check, are the french guys all on Bouygues Telecom or are you using other Telco operators?

Guys,

to make it work, you need to flash ROM Radio 1.38 on top of Windows Mobile 6.

ROM Radio 1.38 can be finded at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms

[Android Studio] ecx00:
Hi guys. I am trying to save sensor data to a file and figured out how to do it. Only thing is how do I keep updating the file and append new data without over writing?

I created two functions, one for saving and one for appending:

public void saveToFile(String accelLine, String gyroLine) throws IOException {

File root = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS);
File Dir = new File(root.getAbsolutePath());
if(!Dir.exists()) {
Dir.mkdir();
}

senLine = accelLine + gyroLine;

File file = new File(Dir, "senData.txt");

FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
fos.write(senLine.getBytes());
fos.write('\n');
fos.close();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Initial Data Saved!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
newFile = 0;
senLine = "";
}

public void appendToFile(String accelLine, String gyroLine) throws IOException {
senLine = accelLine + gyroLine;
FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput("senData.txt", Context.MODE_APPEND);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fos);
osw.write(senLine);
osw.write('\n');
osw.flush();
osw.close();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "More Data Saved!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
newFile = 0;
senLine = "";
}

Maybe my implementation is wrong? Could someone tell me what did I do wrong? Its my first time with Android and Java. Sorry!

I am talking about default email app
[Blu Pure XL] DannyHammons:
Yes, it works for me

I had no problem signing into my work account (via office365). I had to choose office365 as the account type (even though our servers are Exchange servers.) I first tried "Exchange account", but that didn't work. So I gave Office365 a try, and it worked like a charm. I'm using Outlook for Android as my client, BTW.

[Blu Pure XL] aim1999x:
Does office365 or exchange works for anyone on anything other than using outlook app ? If yes please share which app you are using. I tried Mailwise and default email app and both just pull the list of folders but no mail.

I found it works with "nine" and "blue mail" so far. I guess I can live with that.

Friend of mine has a second hand note 3 (N9005) he has had for a while and he did a factory reset yesterday trying to clean it up. Now he can't use the phone because he didn't uncheck the reactivation lock before doing the reset. The previous owner can't remember the Samsung account credentials he used at all. I'm trying to help him fix it and wondering what I could do? There are no Samsung service centers where I live so that's not an option unfortunately.

Does anyone notice that when removing the phone from a pocket to a high or low light situation, the adaptive brightness takes several seconds to "adapt"?

Yes it's slow to react. I read this in some of the reviews but it was always blamed on early software. Let's hope it improves with updates.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95Z28:
So I pre-ordered the 5X to replace my Moto X 2014 which I purchased earlier this year when my N5 screen shattered during a drop. I have been using Nexus devices since the Galaxy Nexus, and only got the X because I didn't want a 6 inch phone like the N6 was. I actually ended up really liking the X, and ordered the 5X with intention of returning if it didn't seem like a significant upgrade. My first impressions were to return the 5X and use my Moto X until next year, but after a couple days the 5X has grown on me and I'm thinking keep it, sell the X. My single biggest complaint is adaptive display, in the past it was never very good, but on my N5 it actually improved significantly with Lollipop. However on the 5X it has been pretty bad, brightness changes are drastic and sudden like they used to be, on my Moto X it was always a smooth gradual change that wasn't noticeable. I used to not use it because it was so bad, but I've grown spoiled by really good functioning adaptive display and now don't want to give it up. I don't find it slow as much as inconsistent, changes screen brightness drastically when lighting around me changes a little bit. Hopefully will be fixed in a software update soon.

May this be the problem?

You have to be completely stock. Unrooting won't fix the problem. Flash stock firmware before upgrading. This is specific to lollipop updates because they refuse to install on modified system partition. That's why Unrooting wouldn't work.
