[Nexus 5X General] blackrome0:
It's a shame hearing this, I'm still torn between buying this, the honor 7 and the moto x force. I've tried all 3 of them and the honor 7 seems more appealing right now. The only problem is the EU version only has 16gb of ram, but it does have an SD card slot. Also I'm not sure it'll be compatible with xposed framework and particularly gravity box, these I know which will work with the 5X and the moto x force.

For that reason alone I'm still tempted to go with the 5X, but hearing the negative feedback doesn't really help. When I tried the 5X in CPW the screen was hella dim, even at full brightness. Have other users found the screen to be pretty dim as well? Saying that though I am coming from a galaxy note 4 ha!

I tried the moto x force, also in CPW, but found it to be pretty wide to handle with one hand, so pretty much instantly put me off.

So there you have it! My my heart says honor 7 but my head says nexus 5X.

What do you all think?
[Nexus 5X General] 95Z28:
I personally find the height a little much for one handed use, though it is doable for my hands, but width is fine on the 5X. I use auto brightness and find it gets bright enough to use in sunlight with no issues. I also don't have any of the lag/delay issues the prior poster complained of. I find the 5X to be a very satisfactory device. I would recommend the 5X to anyone looking for a new device, but I'll also be the first to admit I am a bit of a Nexus fanboy.
[Nexus 5X General] drew2d1:
Just took mine back to CPW too. It's just too much money for what you're getting. I didn't like the screen, speaker or headphone volume levels. Was quite slippery too.

Can get the S6 for the same price and that just feels so much better. Looks like I'll be using Touchwiz :(
[Nexus 5X General] LR07:
I love this phone. Only thing I hate is the speaker, it sucks
[Nexus 5X General] b0gman:
In general after 72 hours with the phone I have to say I am confused as to what people are complaining about. Besides a few issues with WiFi calling I have had an excellent experience with the device so far. Prior to the 5x I had an S6 64GB and before that a N5 32 GB. The few instances I have encountered lag have been very brief and over all the device is virtually lag free despite having 7 email accounts and 2 exchange accounts running on it. The camera is a bit of a mixed bag and being an avid amateur photographer I tend to be critical of all smartphone cameras with the S6 being no exception. There is no edge distortion in the photos which is a welcome change from the S6 and the firmware on the camera appears to engage in very little post processing which is a good thing IMHO. Lacking OIS does challenge it a bit in moderately lit environments however the massive sensor the 5x/6p are equipped with does an excellent job keeping sensor noise down. The compression of the files with the stock camera app as well seems quite low and even without the ability in the stock app to generate DNG files the images are quite workable in photoshop/gimp. The double tap of the power button to launch the camera works within 1 second 7/10 times and the 3/10 it takes no more than 2 seconds. This is not meant to start a flame war but to those that fuss about the .5 seconds faster the s6 is... You need to get a life its not a big deal and most phones that launch faster are 100+ dollars more expensive. Battery life and sound quality are adequate however I do feel as though the S6 had slightly better clarity out of its speaker though as an audio snob I feel compelled to say that you get what you pay for. The internal amp delivered great sound quality on my Shure E4 headphones. The AT-m50s sounded great as well. The battery seems to finish the day at around 30% which is serviceable and thats after an average of 3 hours on the phone and 50+ emails sent and replied to with an additional 30 minutes or so of web-surfing. Call quality is generally quite good and reception is above average in the Virginia market on T mobile.

To withdrawn: If you are having these issues with the phone it sounds like you got a lemon I am sure Carephonewarehouse will swap it out for you.
[Nexus 5X General] blassster:
I saw another thread where someone returned their yellowed phone for a new one, their original one was definitely defective as shown in a side by side picture.

This thing needs more RAM. I knew I'd be underwhelmed, same RAM limitations as the N5. Hate refreshing Chrome tabs so frequently or Doggcatcher/Music being killed off when doing certain things. Expected better battery life due to the 1080p screen. Big bezels around the screen suck. Already running low on the 32gb storage like N5. The N5 seemed pretty bleeding edge at the time of its release, this doesn't feel that way. There are good things but this seems to be a complaints thread.

No other options for me, I hate non-Nexus, returned 6P due to size. It'll hold me off for a year, will probably sell it for the next Nexus (Google: please make a 5P in 2016).
[Nexus 5X General] tangiers:
I buy the Nexus every year (started back with the Galaxy Nexus). I even bought the Nexus 6 though I knew it would be too big for me (it was). But I can't buy one this year. The 6P is too big and with all the build issues and now 4G radio issues in Australia, it's a non starter. I have gone to look at the 5X three times now but I just cannot force myself to buy it. It is a major step down from the other phones I have (S6 and OPT) in every respect. The only thing I can find in its favour is it is light. The build quality feels so cheap. Perhaps if it had been priced at half of where it presently priced, I might have been able to buy it as a carefree phone that I could flash custom roms on and drop without concern. There simply isn't anything in Marshmallow that is so wonderful that I can't wait for an update to Marshmallow on my existing phones. I found myself seriously considering buying a Nexus 5 (2013) instead (my old one has a cracked screen) just to get past my Nexus disappointment... No AMOLED, no wireless charging, no tap to wake, no OIS, small storage, small battery, slow processor, poor audio, a quickly deteriorating exterior finish and plastic buttons.... Sorry, but this will be a no Nexus year for me.
[Nexus 5X General] Pume:
IMO the build quality is on par with the N5. The speaker is pretty bad but other than that I am happy with 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] ethanfel:
Funny post you complain about :

"

"

and saying :

When the original nexus 5 is doing a lot worse than the nexus 5x is every aspect (except wireless charging). Quite funny.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

From my pov, the n5x feel better in my hand than my nexus 5. Yeah the speaker is bad, better than the useless nexus 5's but still bad. I'm happy too.
[Nexus 5X General] Sinergie:
Not really, screen is about the same, overall performance experience is about the same, battery experience is about the same (when you compare a new device of each model), storage is the same, audio is quite good on the N5 (except the low volume of the external speaker), build of the 5X is sturdier but it has cheap plastic buttons while the N5 has ceramic buttons and the exterior of the 5X is deteriorating in a couple of days usage which doesn't happen with the N5. Video recording is worse on the 5X than on the N5 because of the lack of OIS, which results in very shaky videos. The only aspect where the 5X is doing better than the N5 is in the photographic department.

In retrospect your reply is funnier ;)

In what way is the speaker in the 5X better than the one in the N5?
[Nexus 5X General] 95Z28:
I have to disagree with much of your comparison. My N5 when new could barely provide a full days use with 4 hours SOT, 5X easily bests it in that regard with a best of almost 6 hours. I preferred the texture of N5 back, but actual quality I personally have no complaints on either device. I'm not much of a photographer, but the couple videos I've taken with the 5X actually impressed me with the clarity and detail, and were not shaky at all. And while neither phone has great quality speakers I find the 5X is noticeably louder, so that is an improvement in my book.

I did absolutely enjoy my N5, but yes the 5X is an overall improvement. Maybe not enough to justify upgrading from a perfectly functioning N5, but it is an upgrade.

I tried to make rom working modem following Ev3rtH's result "AOSP Marshmallow 6.0 for Z1 Compact"

when i test in my z2, modem works (IMEI,SIM,Data,call...)

and the working and not working are same as Ev3rtH's posting

Working and Not working :

Working:

-Boots

-Screen

-Brightness

-Orientation sensor

-Ambient light sensor

-Wifi

-Bluetooth

-IMEI shows up, still have to test with SIM

Not working:

-Camera

-NFC

-GPS (haven´t tested yet)

-Internal SD doesn´t mount right - As pointed out by tgascoigne, if you´re playing around with the mount points and Android asks you to format it, DON´T. You will wipe the boot and system partitions.

It is not official build and unstable

Is there any problem in this post, please give a comment

another new function, when you login with your google account (at least this was possible with gapps), a new menu appear on your settings, called "Google" or something like that, it shows and let you configure in a simple way lots of settings from your google acccount, like, youtube historic, location, voice commands, etc

[Security Discussion] km8j:
Curious if you guys use Google Authenticator or SMS as your primary for MFA. Google Authenticator doesn't support the app backup features of Android so moving phones is a huge PITA without root. Obviously text messages is not quite as sexxxxy and also requires signal.
[Security Discussion] 3857:
I use the Google Authenticator app if possible. Sometimes text message can take minutes to arrive, so authenticator app is always ready :)

I can always restore account via text message, if I change my phone and then reinstall authenticator to new phone. And I don't currently root because it breaks security model of android and I think rooting makes authenticator app more vulnerable to attacks.

Hello, Wiko Ridge Fab's kernel doesn't allow the double tap to wake, so: is there a way to modify it? Or to create a new one?

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist :)

Unfortunally this is not possible because it is not a software side thing but an hardware one, so if the phone hardware doesn't support that then it can't be included from user side.

Hi everyone. May I be advised on how to obtain SGP771 stock rom to flash my tablet back to default? There is a problem with my Z4 after installing Lucky Patcher and now, as soon as there is an internet connection available, my tablet will keep rebooting after showing me the home screen. It won't do so if I disable WiFi on the device. I will then get an error message that states "Unfortunately YouTube has stopped" I have tried disabling YouTube and uninstall lucky patcher but it doesn't work. It all started after I had chosen to patch unsigned apk. For your kind advice please on where I can get the stock rom.

Hello all,

I want to replace my damaged glass from my I9505.I have seen many guides/videos how to do that, but I have some questions about the adhesive between the screen and the digitizer:

1)Some people remove the old adhesive by rubbing it and cleaning with isopropyl alcohol. Others use specialized remover. Which one would you suggest? Is there any chance that the remover solvent will damage the digitizer?

2)There are many UV LOCA adhesives: TP-1000,TP-2500, Octopus glue. Do you have any experience with them?

3)Is there a requirement about the power of the UV Lamp? There are lamps rated at range 10W-50W.

The Meizu MX5 may not have been the best phone of the year, but the device impressed with the lovely camera and fairly good performance.

[IMG="meizu metal"]http://img1.mydrivers.com/img/20151021/s_12bd2d581215408ebfb6876b8ec2b4e8.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="meizu metal"]http://img1.mydrivers.com/img/20151021/s_64a3a89589b544c8b1c8e366e67e3c9e.jpg[/IMG]

Meizu today unveiled the YunOS-powered Blue Charm Metal smartphone, which essentially looks like a Meizu MX5 on a budget. What’s interesting are the price tags for the 16GB and 32GB versions of this phone at 1099 Yuan ($173) and 1,299 Yuan ($205).

[IMG="meizu metal"]http://img1.mydrivers.com/img/20151021/s_19853a6d53a94e7aa5370df562f7e31b.jpg[/IMG]

Specifications are very similar to the Meizu MX5, as mentioned. The screen on top is the same 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080p on paper, but it seems like there’s no AMOLED like the MX5 but an LTPS panel with 2.5D curved glass on top.

[IMG="meizu metal"]http://img1.mydrivers.com/img/20151021/s_73c5832d93dc44b0a5da779862151904.jpg[/IMG]

Moving on, the Blue Charm Metal is powered by the same MediaTek MT6795 Helio X10 as the Meizu MX5, but with a 2.0GHz clock as opposed to the 2.2GHz of the MX5. With that, the Blue Charm Metal gets 2GB of RAM and either 16 or 32GB of ROM, expandable via microSD.

There’s no laser focus this time round, but PDAF instead (something you also see on the Redmi Note 2) for the 13 mega-pixel rear camera. On the front, the Blue Charm Metal will have a 5 mega-pixel sensor.

[IMG="meizu metal"]http://img1.mydrivers.com/img/20151021/s_0952f5d0183641cea6b5446d2da894f6.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="meizu metal"]http://img1.mydrivers.com/img/20151021/s_0f1c4c09fc7249ce8de221e6721d7ef0.jpg[/IMG]

If you thought the phone spells decent value for money already, there’s more: the Blue Charm Metal will come with mTouch 2.1, aka what Meizu call a fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button. Also noteworthy is the fact that this $173 phone will have a 3140mAh battery of non-removable nature.

[IMG="meizu metal"]http://img1.mydrivers.com/img/20151021/s_d88278f5112d4aa1a4d6013e26918515.jpg[/IMG]

On paper, the Meizu Blue Charm Metal looks like a very tough competitor to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2… which falls second to this phone in a couple of departments. Don’t you think?

[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
This seems really intriguing. It's shown up on some of the stores for presale now... They're selling the 16gb version outside of China for a little bit more than the prices originally mentioned (which is what one would expect - the online stores always charge a bit of a premium over the Chinese market prices when selling outside of China). GeekBuying is the first place I saw it.

Seems like a pretty decent phone, though... The build quality of the M2 note was fantastic, and the styling was beautiful. It was just crippled by the MT6753 processor inside. So seeing an X10 processor in the same kind of styling? That's VERY interesting.
