[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hkfan:
Hi

I am creating this post after searching for many hours and trying multiple things mentioned on xda and other sites. but nothing worked for me

I have T889V ( Note 2 from WindMobile) and by mistake I flashed At&T stock rom which resulted in loss of baseband and IMEI

Right now phone is working with only Wifi ( NO 3G and calls)

I have backup of this phone when I bought it. I have following backups

1. TWRP EFS backup

2. NVRAM Backup

3. QPST Backup.

4. Backup of m9kefs1, m9kefs2 and m9k2efs3

Tried following things

1. I have tried to ODIN stock Wind firmware but it did not bring back baseband

2. . Tried to flash modem from Tmobile 889 , but baseband still remains unknown.

3. Tried to odin Tmobile firmware but it always fails at radio/modem step.

4. Tried multiple pit files but all gets stuck at " Mapping pit file"

5. Tried to odin stock 4.12 firmware from Wind and manually copied m9kefs1, m9kefs2 and m9k2efs3 using dd , baseband still remains unknown.

6. Tried to restore my backup with QPST but it says says no phone connected , even though when I add port it sees COM3-USB/QC Diagnostic. Yes I changed mode to "RM*** + DM + MODEM".

Can someone please help me in getting this phone working again.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricG90:
Hello!

I tried flashing my Nexus 9 for the first time today. I have done this before on other devices, just been a while since last!

I first tried Dirty Unicorns. I installed TWRP, wiped the device and installed the rom but when booting the device get stuck at the Google logo. How long "should" it stay there?

Same thing wehn tring AICP rom.

Between flashing these roms i went back to stock with Nexus Root Toolkit and it booted as normal, just about 10s-20s(?) at the Google logo..

What am i doing wrong??????

Thanks,

Eric

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricG90:
Yes ofc! :) (can I install twrp without unlocking?)

I'm pretty sure It says unlocked in the boot menu.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madbat99:
It's those roms. They are based on a version of cyanogen that has a loooong boot problem. It takes about 7 or 8 minutes on the Google logo. Cyanogen has since fixed the issue, but those 2 roms have not.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricco333:
Same thing happened to me, and I didn't try to flash a CM based, I tried Pure Nexus which is AOSP and it hung at the Google logo for a good 10 minutes before I decided to flash-all.bat back to stock, now I'm stock MM, not-encrypted, not rooted with TWRP recovery installed, stock is pretty good and haven't really feel the need to root, but that's no fix for the flash addicted type.

I'm not flash-addicted, I just want a smooth nexus 9. So much stutter, loading the keyboard etc in the original rom. I was hoping it would be better in dirty unicorns.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
If you want smooth go with MM. Never realized how slow lolli was until I installed MM.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricG90:
Does it help to go unencrypted? I dont know about you guys but its often my nexus 9 thinks several seconds before opening an app or the multitasking window or going to the homescreen...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Jedi:
I always go unencrypted when I can. When I encrypted my M7 for use of work apps and WiFi access. It made my phone more sluggish. I have no secrets on my tablet unless you count the porn? Lol. I always disable it.

Hello,

I work with computers and started fixing phones and was wondering what software(mac, pc,linux) is best for getting rid of screen locks on android devices running different versions of android as well as apple if anyone can help. Also what is the simplest and easiest way to force a phone into adb mode with a broken screen?

Any and all help is welcome!

Thank you

Hey Everyone,

I found this on the HTC Wiki and thought it was a good Idea.

Too bad insurance costs $50 each time they ship you a phone.. (unless you walk into the store and wait for an hour while they check out your phone..)

[Mogul, XV6800 General] platniumrover:
He's not saying to use the insurance. But more less the warrantee. There is two protections that come through the insurance, but I cant remember the name of the two. Equipment replacement and ____________________. The second one is where they try to fix your fone, free of charge.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Crossfire9:
ESRP, or in store repair.

Sprint and HTC are both aware of this issue I am sure, and this doesn';t just plague our devices. Going to the attorney general for something like this is just plain silly, and won't get you anywhere.

I also know you can only do 2 or 3 replacements per year with insurance. I highly don't recommend you waste any on an issue that is known, beings that a new or refurbished phone is going to have the exact same issue - and maybe more.

WHAT IS THIS BLUETOOTH ISSUE? I'm not having any bluetooth issue, but I keep seeing this everywhere....but no descriptions of the issue....just the statement that there is one. What is the problem?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] defaultdotxbe:
yeah, i havent had one either, but granted all i use is a motorola s9 headset and ive beamed files a few times
[Mogul, XV6800 General] utexascg:
my specific issue has to do with pairing my mogul with my bluetooth enabled deck in my car. The deck is unable to find the phone and when it occasionally does find the device, it won't pair. I've tried changing the registry edits to allow my phone to appear as a standard phone device, rather than a WM6 phone. Neither works.....

Sprint acknowledges that there is a problem and when i contact Pioneer (the manufacturer of my deck) they say that the deck is designed to be used with any bluetooth device.

for reference, my deck is the DEH-P980BT from pioneer.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] DCerrone:
The error I am experiencing and my customers as well is that when BlueTooth is turned on, the phone will freeze and needs to be reset. Pairing is no issue. What I've done is turn on the BlueTooth on only when I need it. Since I've started doing this I haven't reset my phone in over a month. It is annoying though and I wish a fix could be found.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Polen:
My problem and many others is my voice cuts out for the other party sometime so much that they can't hear me at all, I turn off the BT headset and use the phone and they tell me now I can hear you very clearly. My voice tags rarly work with my headset too. The other day, I went to use my headset and it didn't work at all. I had to pair them backup.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] JakFrost:
I also experience various Bluetooth related issues. I do not know whether HTC is responsible for faulty phone hardware or Microsoft for faulty Bluetooth software stack.

Below are the problems that I have seen.

Bluetooth stack occassionaly crashes during usage and requires restart through CommManager. Often times in the morning the stack is unresponsive or stopped from overnight crash.

Plantronics 655 Bluetooth headset ocassionally loses connection to headset and requires Bluetooth stack to be restarted on the phone.

Sometimes the Bluetooth stack is stuck and the headset can answer incoming calls but no incoming audio is heard, just outgoing mic.

When using Motorola S9 Bluetooth wireless stereo earphones using the A2DP Bluetooth profile sometimes the music from Windows Media Player 10 skips every few seconds with music playing for less than 1 second and 2-5 second dead air and again 1 second of music and dead air... Bluetooth stack needs to be restarted to correct this issue, afterwards often the problem is resolved, sometimes WMP 10 needs to be restarted also, and sometimes the phone needs a soft reset.

OnCourse GPS Bluetooth receiver over a Serial Port Bluetooth wireless connection sometimes does not connect to the phone, a restart of the Bluetooth stack is required, when using Google Maps 1.2.0.9+ or TomTom 6.50.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] defaultdotxbe:
i dont have this problem with my S9s

however sometimes i do get about half-second skip every 5-10 seconds, this only seems to happen when the phone gets particularly warm (like when im outisde on a hot day) and goes away on its own without having to restart BT, WMP or the phone itself
[Mogul, XV6800 General] SultanH:
I have only experienced the audio fade with the S9 a few times and it gets resolved when I'm not too far from the phone.

But I have experienced it when talking with another party. It only seems to be on outgoing audio not incoming.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] little_rock:
Guys, I am a massive clumsy git!

Had/have an S5 currently in a spigen tough armor that I've needed to re-screen once in past 2 years.

I'm VERY nervous about destroying the lovely 6P that'll be winging its way to me in a week or so...

Is the Spigen offering the most productive? I saw a drop test for the iphone 6 + and it was damn impressive!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2G0ULiKNuw

I'm a little out of touch, so is there a better more protective case available for this 5.7 inch beauty?

Thx guys!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] erikivy:
I don't have any experience with either the Crash Guard or Spigen cases, but I've watched several tests of the Crash Guard and they sold me on their product. I'll be getting it when it becomes available. I'm still up in the air regarding a screen protector, however. I've always had tempered glass and really like them, but after watching the Rhinoshield videos of their screen protector, it's gotten a little more difficult to make a decision. Here is a link to their product page for anyone who hasn't seen the torture they can take.

http://www.evolutivelabs.com/pages/rhinoshield

In particular, check out the ball peen hammer and ball bearing drop test vids:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] enviii:
I'm definitely buying the bumper from evolutive labs. I like bumpers, but the videos have really sold me onto the product. I'm unsure about the glass/screen protector. Again, the rhino shield videos look very impressive, but I haven't heard enough about it. People use tempered glass often enough and don't complain either.

Spigen is where I will get my tempered glass if I do decide to purchase it instead of the Rhino shield though.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] little_rock:
The Rhino shield glass cover has me sold, need to find eviews on how it feels in action!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] little_rock:
Can I ask why you have the spigen preference please?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
I would probably throw the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro into the mix as well. The regular Unicorn Beetle is damn tough too. Evolutive Labs has confirmed a Crash Guard Bumper for the 6P, but not a PlayProof case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] little_rock:
is the playproof case stronger/more protective than the bumper case do you think?

i ahve my unit arrived and have barely taken it outta the dam box!!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] resynx:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] tkoreaper:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015X9UR2S/

Never had a problem with any of Supcase's cases.

To be totally honest, all you would really need is the standard Unicorn Beetle case (Not the Pro) and a tempered glass screen protector... Nothing more. It's seriously THAT good. I work in the oilfield and this combination has saved my phone so many times... even times where I thought it was doomed and the tempered glass broke. You could literally drop your phone's screen on a rock from 5ft and it would only break the tempered glass protector. The actual screen will be fine.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
Me too other than a lack of a belt clip. That is the missing piece to all the cases out there. How do you carry the phone? Until I get my leather holster or a belt clip/case, I've been putting my 6P in my front pocket. Works for work slacks, but not for jeans.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tkoreaper:
I usually just put it in my pocket. For me, belt clips have always been more annoying than anything especially when sitting and standing repeatedly. I wear jeans and don't have an issue. I'm guessing you may be smaller than me or at least have smaller pockets lol.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] little_rock:
Can some one edicts me as ro why a tempered glass would be superior to the rhino shield?

That rhino shield seems amazing

Thx
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
Size 33 waist, but I'm blaming it on bigger junk!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tkoreaper:
Rhino Shield's videos don't show comparisons to other forms of protection so it's hard to know the difference without testing it yourself. I've personally never used a rhino shield so I cannot say, but there are things we should consider.

1. Is it better than a standard tempered glass protector?

If yes, by how much?

2. How does it feel?

3. After all this, is the difference, if any, worth the cost and/or really needed?

I can only say, from experience, that a standard tempered glass protector has done it's job at protecting my device... even in some extreme conditions. It has never failed me. With this in mind, and if the Rhino Shield is much better, why should you need it if latter is proven to be good enough. Again, this has been from my experience. The only time I could see the Rhino Shield winning, if it is truly better, is at excessive drop distances, but does that ever really happen?

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Haha, yeah I've got about 5-7 inches on you. What kinds of cases have you used in the past? These Supcase cases don't stick to cloth material like Otterbox has been notorious for.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
They work differently. Glass breaks to dissipate energy while the multi layered plastic supposedly reflect some of the energy back. Both help spread the energy across the surface. Not an expert. But a lot of people like glass because the glass ones maintain the same FEEL on the screen while the Plastic ones have a more mushy feel.

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Otterbox defender mostly. I love my 6P and think the design is pretty to look at, but slippery as all get out in my hand. I like the Beetle but wish it had a belt clip with it. I bought a leather holster made for an iPhone 6s Plus and hope it will fit the 6P with the basic Beetle on it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tkoreaper:
Yeah, that's your problem. Those Otterboxes use like a rubber material that can be very clingy. I don't think you'll have any issues with the standard Supcase case, but the Pro model does come with its own clip so you may consider that one too. Only downside is it's a little bulkier and it hides the beauty of the device whereas the regular model kinda accents its beauty.

You also make a really good point about the glass vs rhino shield. The rhino shield won't break because it's not glass, but the tempered glass will. There are many manufacturers that provide lifetime warranties on their glass protectors though so you could essentially buy 2 for the price of the rhino shield and get one replaced if it breaks while your backup protector takes over. That would probably be the best way IMO... I just don't trust or like the feel of anything other than glass, personally.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] little_rock:
Thx all for the great info... amazing insights. What tempered glass system would you endorse?

Do they stick on the screen or are they part of the case? Sorry for being dumb, as I said am out of touch!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tkoreaper:
They stick to the glass. All of them have an adhesion layer on top of some sort of shatterproof bonding that keeps everything together even if it shatters... It certainly doesn't have the explosion effect of the glass you see in the rhino shield demo videos.

As far as recommendations, they're all similar, but I tend to lead towards Nillkin as I've used them the most. But other notable ones are Skinomi and Spigen and a few others that are constantly mentioned here.

Btw, if you go the route of getting the Beetle Pro (the big one) it has a plastic protector built in that I would recommend removing. It can be pushed out and then you can remove any left over glue. You can then put it on your device and it'll fit snugly over the tempered glass protector to make a great fit.

If you don't need to transfer files often and the files are small you might also want to check out Pushbullet (https://www.pushbullet.com/) although you will need to install it on your phone and your pc it will also allow you to transfer files as long as the file size is smaller than 25mb.

[Xperia Z5 General] jeremy_inc:
I bought an Aukey quick charger (PA-T2) and thought some people might be interested in charging speeds on a Z5 as I couldn't really find any before I bought it (the ones in the UK at least do not come with a quick charger)

Sony claims on the Z5 site that you will get "a full days charge after 45 minutes".

What I've done to test is to wait till the battery got completely to 0% and turned itself off, then just plugged in the charger with the phone remaining off. After half an hour it had charged to 32%, and at 45 minutes it had reached 53%. Not sure that would count as "a full days charge", but it's quite significant and would probably last till the end of the day if you charged mid morning.

After that I turned the phone back on and checked on Ampere the charge rate, which at 56% was 2180mA. As the battery gets more charge this slows down.

- Once it reached 60% it slowed to around 1800-1850mA

- At 65%-85% it slowed to around 1500-1600mA

- At 75% the total charging time has been 1h 12m. As you can see the first two 25%'s took 22 minutes each, but this 3rd 25% took 32 minutes.

- After 1h 25m the charge was at 85%

- Between 87 and 90% charging rate slowed to 1220mA, 1h 32min since start.

- at 95% charging is crawling along at 650mA, took 10 minutes from 90-95%

- Completed charging at 1h59m.

As I was using the phone to check the charge rates etc, I would say it could probably be finished 10 minutes quicker. Also mobile network/data and wifi were on and normal apps syncing (for the 2nd half when the phone was on) - I wanted it to be a "typical" charge time instead of one where I couldn't send/receive messages etc.

So in conclusion, quick charge works significantly better from a low charge, but for little top ups above ~75% you might not see much benefit

"Up to 2 days' battery life"

"a full days charge after 45 minutes"

0%->53% in 45 minutes

100% / 2 days = 50%.
[Xperia Z5 General] Azdian:
from 5% to 100% it took around 2 hours and 15 minutes.

so is it really a big difference between the stock charger and the quick charger?
[Xperia Z5 General] lagittaja:
By the way jeremy, did you charge the Z5 from the Aukey's orange port or from one of the green ports? I don't know if there's a difference but at least they're labeled differently, the orange port having the QC logo.
[Xperia Z5 General] jeremy_inc:
I did it from the orange QC port. My Z5 didn't come with a stock charger (O2 in the UK don't give you a charger "to save the environment").

If I plug the cable into one of the non-QC ports on that same Aukey charger the max charge rate it goes at is 1310mA (at 50%) and seems to vary down and then back up from that a bit, so the QC is definitely a lot better than the standard ports.

In regards to this comment:

There is NO way my Z5 lasts 2 days. I've been using it about a week now and the battery life is probably around 80% of what I would get out of my Z3. On the Z3 before Lollipop I would very often get 2 full days, but since then it was usually about 1.5 days. On the Z5 I'd say I get about 24-30h, little over 4h screen time, but as I said I've only had it a week so I'll see if it improves as I settle with it.

0-60 in 30 minutes?!

Qualcomm claim "In laboratory tests using a 3300mAh battery, a Quick Charge 2.0 enabled device went from 0% to 60% charge in 30 minutes"

I'm just wondering if anyone on here is actually getting this kind of result with their Quick Charger as my QC 2.0 certified charger (Tronsmart TS-WC1Q) only manages roughly 1% per minute. As the Z5 has a 2900mAh battery I was expecting even better results than the Qualcomm quoted 3300mAh charge time.

If you are getting roughly 60% charge in 30 minutes, please include your charger model and if the device was on or off during charging. Thanks!
