[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
I didnt spent my money on a phone that i have to update manually. If that was what i wanted i would have gone for a budget phone for less than 100 euro

Yes i can sideload it or flash it..been there done that but the point is that it isnt what you should normally be doing. From a few days old phone i may expect that it can use the ota updates. And i am not the only one having this problem..looks like a lot of people are facing this problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Agreed. That is not something an average user should have to do. So, option 1 (wait for OTA) is probably what you'll need to go with.

Google issues updates in waves - apparently your phone hasn't been 'selected' so far, so hang in there. You'll get the OTA eventually.

Edit: You didn't spent money on a phone that you "have to" update manually. You spent money on a phone that gives you the option to update manually if you don't want to wait for the OTA. With other devices, you don't have an option - you have to wait for the OTA. With a Nexus device, you have options if you choose to not wait - that's what I'm trying to explain.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
oke, you got me on that last point..its indeed that i got the option to do it manually. I do know how to do it, so that isnt the problem.

I know that not everyone will get an update at the same time and it is done in batches/waves but mine is still at 5.0, when did that came out..the end of 2014?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Did you just get your phone? Or have you been using it for months, while stuck on 5.0?

If you just got it, you can wait a few days to see if it recognizes that you need a bunch of updates. But if you have been using it all this while, with 5.0, there is something wrong

Getting to the latest OS version may fix the issue - but even if it doesn't (for whatever reason -worst case scenario), what do you lose? Instead of being stuck on a year old OS, you'll be stuck on the latest version.

Again, you don't have to and you shouldn't have to. But what do you stand to lose? (Especially since you know how to do it)

Maybe talk to Google Nexus support - they can be surprisingly helpful.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
just been on the phone with shop were i bought it. i can return it if i want to, but then i would be without a phone for up to 3 weeks.

they also said that it can take up to 18 months before you get the updates..i didnt answer that remark
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basioso:
Not how i predicted my nexus experince

I am stuck on 5.1.1 i was rooted when i was rooted my phone had the update loaded only could'nt download it bc it was rooted so i unrooted it but i wanted to keep all of my data and i didnt know you could update while unlocked so i locked but now i lost every thing and i am stuck without a ota i thought about sideloading but i am not verry experienced so i dont know if there is a marshmallow updst for build number lyz28e bc if i pich a ota my buildnumber isnt there and another question is do you wipe your phone if you side load

Again can i just sideload a ota made for another build number

You would really help me if you anwser

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
OTA files will take your device from one specific build to another specific build. So for example, there will be an OTA file that takes your phone from Build X To build Y, and another to take it from Build Y to build Z. If you are on X, you can't go directly to Z using OTA files.

Check this link for details of available OTA files. http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493

Using ADB sideload will not wipe your phone
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tryklon:
Can anyone recommend a good guide to install all the OTA in order to keep my data?

I have all the OTA files and know the order in which to install them, I just need a guide of how to use ADB and what to do not to lose my data.

Buy a Nexus and wait for updates? I bought a Nexus so I can update or flash a rom, unlock the bootloader or whatever I want... I had no idea nexus users waited for an ota. I find this thread kind of funny. Google servers being down?Hahaha!! Just update manually and move on...

I've gotten several OTAs. Never bothered to install being rooted and all. Just dl'd the factory images. I wasn't giving up root to install an OTA. Fastboot ftw... :)

Info: bought from Google, running on vzw with a cut down sim from my gnex. Used the GFs droid turbo to set up a nano sim. Got OTAs on both sims...

Anyone else seeing 99008 showing up in your battery stats draining a decent amount of battery? Any clue what it could be or how to fix it?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I commented on what I think a likely scenario is here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63482256&postcount=5

Maybe it's of some use or you could use adb to find out more after reading it. What you need is any utility/app that allows you to see what image is associated with whatever battery usage throws up on the screen. I think "Quick Info" is one and "GSAM" might be another. They're free. If you find the image, post it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychicsword:
I think that is caused by uninstalling apps that used a significant percentage of your battery life. Did you recently uninstall anything?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dashraider:
Hmmm interesting I did uninstall an app or two recently one of them where showing up in the battery history I uninstalled it because I don't use it so that may be it

[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
Guys, thought I understood this as I've successfuly used SP Flash tool with previous devices but I'm going round in circles.

I've installed the Mediatek driver package so the preloader is installed.

When I try and flash Philz recovery via SP Flashtool I hit download, connect the P8000 then get an error "Brom error: s_com_port_open_fail (1013)

What am I doing wrong.

On the phone I have gone through the following :

SuperSU is installed

I've enabled developer options

I've then gone to OEM unlocking and at the prompt have clicked enable to the "Allow OEM unlocking"

I then switched off the phone and tried using flashtool as above.

I don;t know what to do next?

Sorry to be a pain.

Mike
[Elephone P8000] sharkware:
What package for flashing have you downloaded and have you made sure to chose the correct .scatter file? How does it look in Device manager when you connect the phone via USB when it's turned off?

I would GUESS it's incorrect flash file or incorrectly installed drivers...
[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
Thanks, I've done some more digging.

I've installed the mediatek driver package. I switch off the phone (power off).

When I connect the phone with device manager open the preloader driver appears under com ports (no yellow exclamation mark) for about 2 seconds. At that point the phone enters charging mode (large battery comes up on screen) and at the same time the preloader entry vanished from device manager.
[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
Solved my own problem in the end - it would seem I was using an old version of the flash tool.

New version installed the recovery instantly.

I am new to android.

I Had temp rooted my phone using king root app.

I tried to download and install the OTA but while installing it would take me to the Fastboot mode and not update.

so I downloaded the flashify app from the play store and flashed the ota.

now my phone wont boot into the system even if I select factory reset it just comes back to fastboot mode.

I unlocked my phone and flashed twrp and using filemanager in twrp I saw that all my files are intact.

Is there any way I can boot into the system without loosing my data.

I read somewhere that all the options are mapped to flashboot so it is not rebooting to system, so is there any file I can edit to set the reboot option back to system .

Please help me.

From reading through the thread for that rom a bit, it seems CM based things have had some MMs issues in general. Might be due to the automatic APN settings. Have you checked that the APN is correct? If so, try another SMS/MMS app that supports manually editing of the APN settings. If that fails, then not a whole lot else you can do.

Recently upgraded with Vodafone UK to the new Sony Xperia Z5, I like it, but this is the second one I have had delivered because of a rattle problem/fault with the first one. Received 2nd one, same problem, a fault within the hardware - a rattle vibration when you tap in the corners of the phone. It sounds like it hasn't been fitted together properly, it doesn't feel solid. See video. If you have a Sony Z5 standard, check yours out, doe sit make this rattle vibration?

Sony/Vodafone, please get it sorted as the phone is great apart from this hardware build flaw.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

Edit; Tried to post a YouTube link, but this forum won't let me yet. Go on to You Tube and enter "Sony Xperia Z5 (standard) - tapping rattle" it should take you to the video.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's the vibration motor. The bearings that it uses to produce vibration might rattle. Look at disassembly pictures of phones and when you compare from where the rattle comes from it's always the same place the vibration motor is in.

Keep contemplating this to replace my TomTom Multisport. Really miss the motoactiv when it worked, and it would be nice to transfer a Playlist, pop on the bt headphones and go. Will I regret the purchase? I have some amazon points and a gift card I can get it for about $80 or so.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cyleo:
I use mine mainly as a GPS device to keep track of my tracks. Ghostrunner is great for mapping your runs. GPS is very quick and accurate in my opninion (owner for 3 weeks, bought it for the GPS)

Overall i'm happy, used it with Ghostracer, Strava & Runkeeper some of the apps can be flakey but other than that i love it.

Golf and running watch

Hi. I just bought the SW3 for running and golf. Was tired of lugging my phone along to listen to music. I tried Runkeeper but it stopped working a few times in the middle of a run. Have switched to Ghostracer and it has performed flawlessly. I put some music on the SW3 and it worked well with my Plantronics BT earbuds. I wasn't so happy yesterday on the golf course as the SW3 ran out of battery on the back 9. Could have been because I was using Golfshot and the SW3 was connected to my phone the whole time. I might try Hole 19 and put the SW3 into Airplane Mode. Still early days for me though. I rooted the SW3 yesterday and put on crpalmer's tetra kernel to see if that will help out with battery life.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] doclloyd:
Yes overall the GPS on this device has been great, especially with the Ghostracer app others mentioned. The only challenge comes in when the metal backplate gets really wet from a lot of sweat or if you get stuck running in a good rain. I had a 7 mile run in September that stopped logging at 4.1 miles when the drizzle coming down became a solid downpour. Ghostracer kept tracking time, but GPS coordinates gave up. It seems to be a known issue to many users.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chrisinleedsuk:
Wifey has one and it's complete garbage. You have to start music and running app in a particular order, it takes forever to get a GPS fix and it invariably either loses GPS or freezes/crashes mid run. Sony don't even seem to have bothered to make a GPS tracking app, so users had to wait for the rest of the developers to catch up.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] JavaGP:
I normally take my phone with me when I walk or run so I can stream Pandora and, thus, use the phone's GPS. But a couple of days ago I decided to leave my phone behind and listen to the music I had downloaded to my watch. I had a big problem getting the music (Play Music) and tracking (Ghostracer) to stay on. I started with the Ghostracer and then turned on the Play Music, but the play music stopped the Ghostracer. Then I restarted the Ghostracer (which began recording as a new run), but this stopped the Play Music. I went back and forth a few times before I was able to get them both to stay on. It seems like everytime I left the Ghostracer display, it would stop the current run. Runkeeper (which I normally use when I am running with my phone) does not do this. For this reason, once I got them both to stay on, I left the display on the Ghostracer app.

Once I got them both to stay on, everything was fine, but this was almost a quarter of a mile into my run (which was supposed to be 5 miles). So I ended up going somewhat over 5 miles for my total run that day. I think the trick is to start the Play Music first, but I'm not sure. If anyone has any advice on this, please let us know.

As for the GPS, once I got Ghostracer to stay on, it worked flawlessly. It was at least as accurate as my phone's GPS is.

I should also point out that I was using Jabra Sport Pulse BTLE earbuds. I like it that the Ghostracer app displays both the average and current heartrate from the Jabra Sport Pulse on my watch along with the pace, distance, and time.

I don't like it that I can hear each step reverberate in the Jabra Sport Pulse earbuds as a heavy background BLOOMP, BLOOMP, BLOOMP... sound. The SMS BioSport earbuds that I use with Runkeeper when I run with my phone do not have this problem (and they don't have to be recharged).

So for now, I'll continue running with my phone, streaming Pandora thru the SMS BioSport earbuds, using the Runkeeper app on my watch to display the time, distance and pace, viewing the Pandora notifications on my watch for the artist and song title (and to control volume and skip tracks), and listening for the Runkeeper audio cues on my earbuds that give me my current and average heart rate (along with pace, distance, and time) every 5 minutes. This is not an ideal arrangement, but the best one available for now.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] plemen:
Strange about the Play music and Ghostracer interfering - I use both of those for each run and don't have any issues... Chrisinleedsuk - I do start Ghostracer about 2 minutes before running to get a good signal without the phone.
