I have a smart watch so smart unlock is always there. The problem is smart unlock goes into lock screen but finger print goes into home screen directly. I'm not sure if it's intentional to make more people use fingerprint.
[Nexus 5X General] _jordan_:
I stopped using smartlock because of nexus imprint. Smart lock is kind of hit or miss anyways (at least on the original nexus 5) and nexus imprint is much more accurate and reliable.

Also, of your phone is lost or stolen, a criminal wont be able to unlock it by going to a trusted location or connecting to a trusted WiFi/Bluetooth source.

I still use Smartlock with my car because its mounted and I can't get to the fingerprint scanner.
[Nexus 5X General] PhyscoAssassinx:
Wait this thing has a power button? Lol I've have barely used the power button since I set up imprint on day 1

It just works so flawlessly (unless my finger is wet/moist) I pick up the phone and my natural finger position lands and bam it's like my phone was never in sleep mode. I ended up only setting up smart voice for the ok google function and disabled face unlock and on body detection, I never used trusted location, WiFi or Bluetooth to paranoid about losing my phone

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmith71:
I have not received the OTA update to Marshmallow yet and getting impatient so I'm attempting to sideload the update myself. I've installed the SDK and drivers. The device is listed when I use 'adb devices' at the command prompt and it allows me to boot into the bootloader. But from there it disconnects from my computer and I'm not able to push the update to the device. I get "error: device '(null)' not found". Any advice?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
In the bootloader you use fastboot, not adb...

I rarely use adb, but I do believe you need to be booted into Android or the recovery (a custom one).

Edit: some reading for you: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-help-t3006500
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmith71:
Ok, but all the instructions I'm finding online to sideload the OTA say to type "adb sideload [the full name of the file].zip". This is after enter Recovery Mode and select "apply update from adb"

I typed "fastboot devices" and my device came up in the bootloader. I click into Recovery Mode and the computer makes the disconnect sound. That's where I'm cut off.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
Have you tried unplugging and plugging in the usb again after entering recovery?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmith71:
I ended up trying NRT and caused even more problems at first, so I ended up just flashing the update instead of sideloading it. I was freaked out for a while because it was stuck in the boot sequence but as of right now, it's working and I have 6.0.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
Yay!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
ok, sideloading is for twrp recovery. but thats not needed anymore as you can just move files in and out of twrp without adb. flashing factory images is only via fastboot while you are in bootloader. adb and fastboot are different.

I really want to get this Moto X because I loved the 1st gen so much, but I feel like we will get screwed over when it's time for Android N and Android O. I'm not sure if I should go Moto X for the next two years or Nexus 6p. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 as my daily driver and I love the Nexus advantage man. Opinions?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Nexus guaranteed. Any other phone its up in the air. If you really care about immediate updates and bug fixes then its nexus. If updated are secondary or you can wait then moto. Plus anything can happen.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prestige_DOPE:
I don't see how anyone could not have the latest update right away. I get so excited for new features I can't sit back and watch. Motorola claimed to be able to send get updates out faster due to no carriers but that doesn't guarantee support for the coming years :( its depressing this just hit me.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playerone_:
Really your preference, they are both solid devices. The better performer is the 6p, the moto x is a pretty close second. There's really no evidence comparing the two devices just yet, if that matters to you then wait a few more days until YouTubers post some comparison videos so you can get a closer look. Motorola is usually a month behind nexus devices for updates, but remember they are two to three months faster than your typical Samsung, lg etc..
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
This is exactly the reason I went with moto instead of nexus. I also use my sd card (64gb) which I can't use in a nexus. They both run stock Android and are the best contenders right now for quick updates. Anyone else is going to be lagging behind or left behind.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sporttster:
Think we're forgetting the benefit of being able to unlock the bootloader and easily load ROMS with the MXPE. This will allow the unit to endure long past other limited phones that were not unlockable or rootable. Before the MXPE I owned a Note 3. And in the last month I installed a lollipop ROM that was side loadable and that really boosted its lifespan and useability. I owned that phone for two years which could easily have lengthened that useability to another year or better. I came pretty close to not even purchasing the MXPE due to this fact but I figured a unlocked BL phone along with the improved camera on the MXPE made it wise to upgrade at this time. Not too many phones anymore can be unlocked and that, to me, is a huge factor-allowing for future upgrades regardless what the carrier or Moto does.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorzero:
Our bootloader is unlocked. Motorola has been good about releasing sources so far. We already have one or two ROMs for our device. I'm waiting for CM official to be released, personally. I think the chances of us getting these updates are decent, at least from the community development standpoint. Officially, I'm a little concerned beyond M, but I won't be staying on stock that much longer.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prestige_DOPE:
But how do you guys feel on staying on a older version of Android when the new one gets released? Does it bother you any?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goolac:
Well...not all new versions of operating systems are better than their predecessors... ie. Windows 8.

Now I am one who usually is a bleeding-edge technology user but with that comes the whole bugs issue. There are those who are a bit more conservative. These guys do not mind waiting for a more perfected solution. You sound like you are a bleeding-edge kind of guy and that is a very frustrating position to be in when there is something new and you can not have it due to your choice of phone/manufacturer. In that case I feel your pain. But for me the MXPE seems to be the the best balance in the regard.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocala:
I bought this phone rather than a Nexus because of its SD. That's more important to me than waiting a month or two for M. Now, if a new Android version drops in a year and Moto denies MXPE owners the upgrade, I'll grit my teeth and think about moving back to Samsung. I'll admit, it would shock me though...

<rant>Headslap for Googler who nixed SD for the Nexus. Stupid.</rant>

Prepare ur UHS-II card.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playerone_:
In my honest opinion I don't think Motorola will abandon this device, they have put a lot of emphasis on their definition of the word "pure" and what it entails. Also, like a few people have stated, you can significantly increase the lifespan by easily unlocking the bootloader and installing custom roms. Once cyanogenmod rolls out a stable release they are usually followed by nightly updates, literally almost every night for a long, long time. My LG G2 has been getting nightly updates since 2013.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prestige_DOPE:
It's all fun cool until their new flagship comes out. We'll see how they treat the 2014 Pure edition.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
This was the driving point for me leaving Samsung after the s3. Samsung would not even push any otas of the newest version of Android until their newest flagship with that update was released and had enough time in the light. They also hardly updated it to the newest version of touchwiz that the new flagship had, almost forcing those users to upgrade to get those features.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prestige_DOPE:
EXACTLY and to think... Carriers expected us to keep a phone for 2 years at that time.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oaklands:
This depends on the version I am left with. My G2 was left on a very buggy version Lollipop. I elected to stay on KitKat due to better battery life and overall better performance of the phone. I like to be on the latest version if it is better but am satisfied staying on an older version if it does everything I need. Granted, I am not a gamer and use my phone mostly for voice calls, emails, Tapatalk, web surfing as needed, and text messages.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinkerer_:
None of the Android phones are getting updates on a schedule sufficient to come anywhere close to mitigating security vulnerabilities. Not even Nexus. Most phones are likely infected with malware, even Nexus. All it takes is one of hundreds of infected apps, still up for download from the Google Play Store.

This aspect of the Android ecosystem is shameful. Evidently, there is not enough money in the business model to do a good job at this. Google made a big PR release promising better updates for all including cheap Android One devices, and ratcheted the promises up further after the first Stagefright exploit hit the news, and what really came of all the promises? Not much. A little better update performance for the few big names already known for better (but still pathetic) update performance.

So since security is already nonexistent, and updates will never resolve that, the only remaining reason to care is fault corrections (aka bug fixes) and features/support. The XT1575 is not perfect but it does OK in those two categories for me at 5.1.1, no worse than other phones I've had. I'll take an OTA to get LTE Band 12 /VoLTE when it comes, but otherwise don't see a compelling reason to care much about updates since the security vulns are going to be there anyway, and updates always introduce at least as many faults as they fix.

As for long-term support: This whole thing converges on a 2 year life cycle. You run into rapidly diminishing returns after that, it's not worth it to keep the phone going after 2 years. (Spent a lot of time and money keeping phones going past 2 years, believe me it's not worth it, chunk it and get a new one after 2 years.) So who cares if updates stop somewhere after a year?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kent1146:
I don't jump on the newest Android versions immediately, for two reasons.

1). Compatibility issues.

For example, you have a new major version of Android out that changes the way some UI elements are displayed. Not every app you have installed will be updated to support that on day 1. A fully-functional-but-slightly-older phone beats a bleeding-edge-mostly-functional phone.

2). You lose root.

This isn't an issue on an unlocked bootloader phone like the MXPE. But to date, most Android phones have locked bootloaders, and only got root through discovering some exploit. A new version of Android means potentially losing root, and potentially requiring the dev community to find another exploit to gain root. A rooted-but-slightly-older phone beats an unrooted-and-carrier-bloatware-loaded phone.

unlockable boot loader means longer 3rd party support and true asop availability. I remember how it was with my droid incredible it got 4.4.4 my galaxy s3 with s-off got up to 5.1.1

Would a UHS 1 card work ? Also Is it still possible to have ram in sdcard like the old days or swap?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrearierJester1:
Yeah but during sd card format you will be prompted with a low speed card. But it should work as is. Its just maybe Google is setting their expectations to use atleast UHS-II card.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kent1146:
You cannot go by SD card class ratings (Class 10, UHS 1/2, etc).

Those speed ratings represent

minimum write speeds

. They are there to certify that the SD card is capable of handling the write speed requirements of certain data workloads, like 1080p60 video recording. Those speed ratings do not reflect anything about read speeds, or which SD cards have write speeds that exceed the rating minimum.

For example, take a look at two cards both rated as UHS 1.

Samsung Pro MicroSD (UHS1)

Read speeds: 71 MBps

Write speed: 20 MBps

Sandisk Extreme Pro MicroSD (UHS1)

Read speeds: 91 MBps

Write speed: 75 MBps

Source: http://www.storagereview.com/sandisk_extreme_pro_microsdhc_review

Both cards clearly meet the UHS1 specification (10 MBps write speeds), which were designed to certify video / photo performance workloads. But if you want to know which card is better for file-based read/write workloads, you need to look up reviews that measure that type of workload.

And if you want the fastest, expect to pay for it. Top-end microSD cards will cost you just under $1/GB.

If you hold a X1 7D-501L and wish to unlock its bootloader to flash 3rd party recovery or modded ROMs, all you need to do is to flash the B102 ROM released by Huawei Germany.

B102 ROM is a KK 4.4.2 with EMUI3.0 and GAPPS.

Hi guys - great forum and lost of helpful solutions. THis may be a daft newbie question so sorry but but here goes..

I just changed from a v1605 (hermes) to the HTC 3600 (Trinity) and can only see address book entries in the contacts app on the new device. On the V1605, the contacts brought up both address book and SIM entries.

Have I missed something on the Trinity ? I actually prefer it to my old v1605

Any advice gratefully received

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a7a7:
Hello guys,

Here's what happened with my N7 2012

-> Got lollypop update, it made my tablet almost useless

-> So i stopped using it for around 5 months - during this time tablet was in power off stage with around 50% battery

-> Yesterday i learned how to install factory image and successfully did so - now its running very smooth on KitKat 4.4.4 (KTU84P)

-> But it takes VERY long to charge this thing - it took 5-6 hours to get it to 50% (in power off stage)

-> I allowed it to drain completely and again tried recharging but its still very slow

-> Note that battery does not drain fast - once charged, it works perfectly and drains properly according to usage

-> Edit: I have checked my charging wire & adapter (Original Asus) - when used with other devices, it works properly.

I am prepared to buy new battery and replace it but what if my charging port corroded? - I inspected it but cant see any aging/corrosion with bare eyes - tried to clean it (dry) with a brush - no help.

Any suggestion / help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

So I am posting this everywhere as I found very little information about how to do this and trouble shooting some issues. Made a reddit post and going to post it here (I hope this is a proper place to put this).

Just hold down the PS button and Share till the light starts to flash. Go to your Bluetooth and pair the game controller.

Trouble shooting suggestions are on bottom.

Now after about 30sec, and for some unknown reason, you will run into input lag. To fix this you will need to download an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect. Once installed goto Advanced Options - Connect Now. Once you push Connect Now the input lag should be gone.

If you are looking for a clamp I just bought something called Nyko Smart Clip - PlayStation 4 on Amazon for $10. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Trouble Shooting:

I had an issue when pairing that it would see the device but wouldn't pair. What I had to do was turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on and try again.

Another issue I had was Bluetooth Auto Connect wasn't fixing the lag issue on my Samsung Note Pro (same device I had an issue pairing, my Samsung Note 4 didn't have any of these issues). I had to uninstall sixaxis controller then restart device. Then uninstall Bluetooth Auto Connect and restart device. Then connect DS4 controller. Then install Bluetooth Auto Connect and spammed Connect Now. It seemed to work. FYI my Note Pro is rooted but my Note 4 isn't and this works on both devices!

To repair the controller to your PS4 plug it in with your charging cable and push the PS button, it will pair immediately. I personally bought a 2nd controller so I wouldn't have to do that.
[General Topics] Lighness00:
Hello, I tried this with my ps 4 controller and it says that the controller is paired but the light on the controller keeps flashing and it does not respond to any input and after some time it just turns off, the Bluetooth auto connect app just says that is unable to connect to wireless controller, please help, my device is a galaxy s7 edge.

Connecting the PS4 controller works for me but can't do anything else such as can't play games or anything, maybe a future update when everyone starts to cry a bit more about how the S7 Edge isn't compatible with any controller, I have tried 3rd party controllers and the right joystick and the rest of the buttons do not work, the only thing that works is the left joystick...
