[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzerapple:
Actually since lollipop you must log out of your Google account before a reset. If you just factory reset you well still have access to the device to track it out wipe your account from it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
I could be wrong here, but if you have stock recovery, a factory wipe can only be started in the phone's settings menu. If you have twrp installed, a wipe can be started with out being in the phone, but you need a password to start it.

If you do wipe the phone, it is still useless as you need the persons gmail username and password to complete the setup, so the phone is useless to all other users bar the user of the phone.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdubl:
I think you can factory reset from stock recovery.

So I don't get it. I thought user data was encrypted from phone, i.e., the internal storage. If I factory reset, I don't need a Google account to start the phone up. So then couldn't I access the internal storage data with a file explorer?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzerapple:
You have to authorize the phone to sync with your computer so you can not get on that way either. If you do not authorize you can not push adb or anything else.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjlangen:
As km8j said, yes, you can factory reset the phone, but you won't be able to recover any of the encrypted data. That's why before you get rid of an old phone you should encrypt (if it wasn't) and wipe it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
Thats not quite right. If you factory reset your phone, you do need a google account to complete the initial setup wizard. The only exception is if the user releases it from his or her's google account so it can be sold on.

But yes to complete the instillation it will ask for a google account that has been authorised and wont continue until it gets it. This happens automaticly the first time you sign in to play store.

Also factory reset will fully wipe the phone, brand new out of the box. It also wipes the users data, so if you were able to get on the phone, there would be no data to access. I really do like the way google have thought about it. Also I never keep anything on the phone that I would consider critical.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] km8j:
A lot of inaccurate information here. You have been able to skip that Google account setup on all android phones for the past few years. Also in basically any file system, when joy delete a file, even formatting, the content is not deleted. So while the information is not there at face value when you wipe the phone it can easily be recovered without encryption.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdubl:
Yeah, that keeps confusing me. I have activated so many phones without inputting a Google account. It says "skip" right there on the screen!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Didn't Google introduce the security features with the Nexus 6 and 5.0? It locks the phone to your google account even after a factory reset but requires compatible hardware.

I haven't seen it mentioned with this year's devices but when setting up a pin on the 5x I believe it asked if I wanted to enable that feature.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
No. If your data is encrypted, no one can access it without your decryption key. As for access to the device, if you had set up a Google account on the device, and had a lockscreen password/pin/pattern/etc., then no one else can use the device other than you unless you remove your Google account and lockscreen password before you factory reset. This was a new feature introduced with devices that sold with 5.0+

Yes!

With the stock recovery, you can reset either from within Android or from within the stock recovery.

Prior to devices shipped with 5.0+, this was true. No longer.

Yes, you can skip Google account setup. However, IF you do set up a Google account and a lockscreen password, THEN you cannot skip the Google account setup on that device after a factory reset (if you hadn't already removed the account prior to the reset).

Hello Guys,

I recently bought a moto g 2015 2GB Varient. When i Look the device as straight i can see everything clearly. When i bring the phone close and slightly Turn I can see a texturing on my phone. I Can see these texturing when the Display is on. THese textures are similar just like back of moto G 2015. Is this normal or just the problem faced by me.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creative21:
It's normal. i can also see same textures on my moto g xt1550.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanarace:
Long story short. Picked up a used Defy locked to Telus (Canadian). Rooted phone. Installed TWRP. Installed CM11 as per this site, took a while to find all the needed files, but it works. A little slow, but works and thanks to everyone who made this happen.

My problem is now the sim is still locked to Telus. I need it unlocked to use on Wind. (same system as TMobile) I tried soft unlock but without a telus sim to start from it will not work. Unlock code will only work on factory phone or so it seems. How can I get this phone back to factory or close to factory?

I am a dumbass and didn't backup original rom (sbf file). I think i should be able to get away with a Tmobile sbf but I can not wrap my head around getting the phone to take a stock froyo rom? I believe the problem is ext4 vs ext3 and I have tried everything I could find reverting but not have had any luck.

Can someone provide a NOOB like me some direction or a link to still active links to the needed files.

Thank you

Steve

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aianas:
Ok, so I have a brand new Moto X Style (XT1572) bought in the UK.

After the initial 10 days when everything was working fine, the touchscreen has began showing some really irritating erratic behavior:

When I swipe, the screen interprets it as a touch

Single touch is sometimes doubled (for example, with the back navigation button)

Pulling down the notification bar gets it half way, then the phone thinks I have removed my finger so pulls it back up, even though my finger is still on the screen

The phone has never been dropped, no water splashed on it, no nasty handling, I am always extremely careful with all my devices. And the phone is not rooted or altered in any way.

So far I have tried the following, but none solved the issue:

Forced rebooted the device.

Reset to factory settings.

Re-reset factory settings and not install anything for 2 days except Twitter and Chrome.

Changed 3 different launchers besides stock.

Changed apps with alternatives.

Reset apps, reinstalled apps.

Removed screen protector and repeat previous steps.

Tried both with the fast charger connected and not connected. With factory provided cable.

Tried both with a normal charger connected and not connected. With factory provided cable.

The problem appears at random times/apps, anywhere there's scrolling involved: Chrome and Twitter are the most obvious. I have never unwillingly clicked on so many ads in the past as I have since this problem started. Worst part is that the phone decides for me if I want to touch or long touch or scroll, so it opens pages/tweets/apps I don't want to open. All at random. And then, after a while, it's fine. And then it starts again.

As you understand, the phone is unusable during the times it behaves erratically.

Not a happy first-time-Motorola customer here. Any ideas anyone?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
I've made a post about weird screen issues where randomly it registers a swipe as a touch, and if you hold down on that touch, the screen goes insane and freaks out.. but the second I lift my finger up and put it down again it's fine... therefore it wsnt much of an issue for me.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokart2:
I've been seeing weird stuff too. Force closing of games that play perfect on my original Moto X too...?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtLemacks:
I think this is a result of the slim bezels. I noticed that most of the problems I have is when the skin from a finger holding the phone seems to be too close to the screen and it's registering it as a contact. Of course, this causes it not to interpret the contact you're intentionally making correctly.

My solution theory: use the included bumper or a case and see if you still have the problem. The case/bumper should help prevent unintended contact.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
still have the problem with the case. it's weird Phantom touches that happen. I feel like it might be software, but idk.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aianas:
Just coming back to say that the problem was not software related.

It was THE BLOODY CASE!!! :eek:

Can't believe it, can you?

It was an i-Blason Halo Series Hybrid Clear Case / Cover with TPU Bumper.

The edge of the case was registering touches on the screen!!!

Now in search of a new case.

BTW, I'd like to thank [MENTION=2770600]jayochs[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4227252]AtLemacks[/MENTION] for the great hint.

Still can't believe it...
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
weird. I have a regular TPU and it still does it. does it even without a case at all.

Sent from my Moto X Pure Edition
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robmoff2:
I have the same issue and a TPU case as well. I've found that locking and unlocking the device helps temporarily, but the issue soon returns. Obviously, this is not ideal... It's driving me insane.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapki:
Same issue here. Tried downgrading to 5.1.1 but the issue persists. Now I am going to try custom firmware. I Live abroad so I can not receive replacement:(
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aianas:
For all with the same issue, try operating your phone without a protection case for a few days. I found out this was the reason for the erratic behaviour.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete:
I have been having this issue as well. It happens a lot when I am swiping text, or scrolling. When scrolling, my touch is sometimes registered as a 'click.' While swipe typing, it is as though my finger is removed then replaced, like the touchscreen input is skipping.

I will try removing the case, although this happens also when I am not holding it (phone on table). I think it might be possible that I need to push harder on the glass protector, except that the OP tried not using it altogether.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userwaldo:
I found this thread which mentions adding some tape to the touch screen connectors.

Several people claim it solved their problem. I tried it without any success, but maybe it will help someone else.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] RueTheDay:
True bumper like the one Google sold for the Nexus 4. Just a ring around the phone made of rubber or soft plastic, but nothing on the front or back. Just enough of a lip on both sides to keep the screen or back cover from making impact on a drop.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] icevapor:
I've not found any yet, even on aliexpress. We may just have to wait for them.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] randomrobbi:
Someone on reddit said that Evolution Labs is making a Rhino Shield Crash Guard for the 5X. I hope so, because I would prefer just a bumper.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] icevapor:
That would be nice. I'm a fan of the bumper. There will be some chinese ones popping up soon too probably.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] cowpen:
I hope so. Coming from an N4, I'm definitely not a fan of the sharp edges of the 5X.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] RueTheDay:
Got my 5X today along with the Adopted case. I really like the case, it's made of a flexible rubber like material and is fairly thin. Sort of like a bumper with a thin back.

And how to remove SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE from download mode

I have Note 3 SM-N9005 Lollipop 5.0 stock rom (N9005XXEGBNL8) and rooted with TWRP recovery. I really want Xposed, tried to flash it and got stuck in bootloop, so I tried deodexing my rom, I did it with Joel Droid Lollipop Batch Deodexer, it went well until I tried to install it with TWRP, instant bootloop again, then I tried flashing any custom rom with TWRP and before flashing I always do advanced wipe, but nothing helps, roms doesn't even start installing, my phone just reboots and I'm in a bootloop again, but after flashing rom bootloop is different it doesn't show Samsung logo it just shows Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005. So my question is can it be bootloader and if so how can I unlock it? Or is it something entirely different?

2. sometimes when i shut down my phone it restarts by itself even though i tell it to shut of.

does any of you know anything about these problems? please help me! i really need help with this.

[Nexus 5X General] dpwhitty11:
I'm making this thread mainly to help others get up and running on Sprint. I suppose this can be the general Sprint N5X thread too.

In order to get service, we need to use a certain sim card. At least here in Houston, no stores actually carry the sim. Best Buy allegedly has the sim, but they're charging out the ass for it.

To order the sim, head to the international service chat. Inform them you need to order a sim for the Nexus 5X. Provide this ID number for the sim card: 019962040146. They'll ship it to you at no charge, and shipping is roughly 3 business days.

Feel free to post your own experiences with this whole process in this thread.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
I simply went to a Sprint store with a repair on site and said I needed a SIM card for my Nexus 5X. The guy was aware of it and even showed me how they looked up the make and model for a phone and boom, the nano SIM type appeared. From the time he called me over to help to completion was maybe 15-20 minutes.
[Nexus 5X General] ohJey:
I'm waiting until Tuesday for my sim card :(
[Nexus 5X General] KennyG123:
You are VERY correct! Sprint is stupid when it comes to SIM cards....they need to be programmed specifically for the model phone you have and do not have any generic SIM cards. I needed one for a used M9 I purchased and no store had one...had to order from customer service...the M8 SIM card will not work. So until Sprint gets up to speed with the rest of the world you have the best procedure right here.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
For delivery or at a store? The repair store I went to literally had a bag full of them.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------
