[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farlicimo:
Has anyone else noticed, or can confirm this is how it works, that the ambient display only triggers when there is a lock screen? I have found it totally unreliable and even did a reset on my phone trying to fix it. Then as I was trying to get it to work by messaging my wife she asked if it only works when locked like her iPhone. . . .and lo and behold with my testing, it does only work while locked. Explains why after the factory reset it worked until I switched so that the power button doesn't automatically lock. This on target for anyone else? If so this just seems a terrible implementation and so easy to fix.

EDIT: Seems doesn't have to be locked but has to have some form of lock screen . . .i.e. swipe lock screen suffices. Anyone know if Smartlock can set to swipe instead of no lock screen?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
Makes sense as it's only a black and white version of the notifications on the lockscreen.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikecosta64:
Although not having a nexus 5x myself. I have seen from several reviewers that the ambient display does not trigger every time the phone is taken out. Unlike moto display it barely works. Also as the nexus 5x has an LCD panel ambient display is not battery efficient since it has to light up the black pixels unlike an AMOLED panel (nexus 6p,moto x pure). If this is the case when I do get this phone I would rather turn it off and just use LED light plus fingerprint sensor is incredibly fast and works 100% (from what I have heard) so not a big deal that ambient display doesn't work properly. It's really more disappointing on the nexus 6p were it can benefit from ambient display due to the AMOLED panel
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopesrequiem:
Yeah only moto has a good ambient display. Nexus fails at that
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acolyte192:
This. I found out I can make it work 99% of the time when I lift my phone up vertically, from a previously horizontal position. Which isn't too handy, really. It could work better. As someone mentioned, if it could work on a tap, that'd be great, but I figure that would prove as a big battery drain, as it would have to detect that it's in your pocket, and that it doesn't need to turn on the ambient display while in it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
I agree it is useless. If the notifications blinked on the screen constantly until I checked them I would use it. The fact they flash on the screen for like 30 seconds and then turn off makes this "feature" worthless as a notification system. I have been using the LED light and light flow. It's customized to show me different colors based on email, text etc... and I have it set to go to sleep at night so it doesn't bother me. I know from across a room what type of notification I have and whether I need to check it. Until Ambient Display can match that, or at least even notify me reliably without my interaction, I will not use it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farlicimo:
I haven't quite decided if I want to use it yet or not. I had a Moto X in the past and agree that was way better. What it does that I still find useful is that when sitting on my desk I can glance at it when an alert comes in and then decide if I want to look at it further. The light would tell me what kind of notification it is but sometimes you need a little context on the actual notification to see if you want to look at it.

The other thing I am glad I figured out was that ok Google does not seem to light up the screen unless its locked also. That doesn't seem to have anything to do with the ambient display setting either, it is just tied to being locked.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Do you mean that Ambient Display doesn't light up the screen if it's off but not locked (somehow) or do you mean the "OK Google" hotword detection with the screen on/off?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farlicimo:
Both. I've found with no lock screen (think swipe to unlock probably counts) Ambient display nor OK Google lights up the screen. Since then I've decided not to use smartlock to keep unlocked by location or Bluetooth (car) but only by voice. Have it set to lock itself after 5 seconds since between the fingerprint and voice unlock its about as good as actually being unlocked.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 021adam:
I agree it is useless, but I don't mean that as a knock on the phone or Google. I had a Moto X before the 5x and I didn't like active display. I prefer a notification LED.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtoomey79:
I love ambient display and am enraged that it doesn't work on here.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spooky75:
is there a way to turn on ambient display ONLY for notifications? I don't like ambient display on picking (touching) the phone
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garese:
Yeah, I think that would be more useful. Otherwise, I think I'll deactivate it...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N5X_ita:
based on my experience:

1)the notification showed with ambient display blink four times (1''on, 10'' off) then the "blink"stops.

2)Triggering the ambient display has always worked for me: as someone said before, in order to get it, the phone must go from whatever position you have it to vertical (usb-c socket facing down) otherwise it won't trigger.

I whish I could use the led, but It won't show the notification content (if ambient display is off) so the only information I could get without watching the phone on my desk is that something happened with that app (based on the colour of the led).

I use Ambient display (with stock rom) because it's the only way to show the content of the notification without having to turn on the display (saving life to that mushy buttons)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garese:
Yeah, I think that's useful for saving some button-life too.

Since I got my N5X yesterday, I'll try keeping it on and practice my phone-carrying skills to have AD activated only when I want it to.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
Ambient display has been worked over on Pure Nexus (and other roms I'm sure). It actually makes it useful.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
In theory it is, but in my experience, it still lights up a little bit random. I use the 'notification only' option, but when I receive one message, the display still lights up like three times after a random amount of seconds... Don't you have this issue?

Sent from the Matrix
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
I didn't, no. I also didn't have a 'Notification only' option in PN. Im pretty sure the 'Notification trigger' switch made it so notifications didn't trigger Ambient display. I didn't ever flip that switch since it worked the way I wanted it to. Anyway, Im on stock now for kicks, giggles, and the re-prioritization of life. So I cant test it now. Sorry.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
I meant the Notification Trigger[emoji6] I will test it again. Tnx for your answer.

Umm.... Yeah. I understand how to turn it off & where to do so. The problem is (with it turned off) it still works as if it's still turned on. ?

[Moto X Q&A] Mike7143:
Been on lollipop for a bit now and I'm just not digging it. I don't like the double slide-down on the status bar, don't like that gravitybox doesn't seem to work well, I keep getting random reboots, and as far as I can tell, removable media doesn't seem to be working.

I've got a Verizon XT1060 developer edition and I'm unlocked. Upgraded from kitkat via OTA updates but did a factory reset of everything first, took the few small OTAs, then to lollipop.

I've been reading around about downgrading but it seems the majority of the posts with the danger danger notes are either for people who've been flashing stuff that wasn't officially for their phone, don't have developer edition devices, have root but don't want to lose it, etc.

What's the skinny on going back to the latest official kitkat version with a fully unlocked, XT1060? Can I just go grab the 4.4.4 image files from Motorola and flash ALL of them? Or do I need to skip flashing a couple files in there?

Kinda pissed that this update isn't going well. I suppose there's a chance I need to flash the stock files once Motorola posts them that'd help but that'll be a while and it's not going to change gravitybox support and the features I'm not digging.

How i can port Rom for M-HORSE Mate 7 Smartphone MTK6572 Dual Core 5.5 Inch Android? I try all MTK6572 Rom But i have bootloop or my phone don't start? Please help me!
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

I am going to use an analogy. Porting a ROM is like transplanting a kidney. The donor (base phone) and the recipient (phone to port to) must be very similar. Having a chipset in common is like having the same blood type. It's only a 1 of 6 match, and the recipient will undoubtedly reject the kidney no matter what. Which is why you bootlooped with ROM's that have only the chipset in common with your device. Luckily you are still getting to boot logos, a wrong ROM could overwrite your bootloader, or modem, and it'd be lights out, forever.

For a Huawei clone (that isn't really a clone, since it has a completely different chipset than the Huawei), there isn't much love for this device. As in you may be the first to ask about this device on this site.

My recommendation at this point, is to restore your stock backup (hopefully you made one). If not, you will need a stock ROM, and that will be like asking for a kidney. If this is the case, this is where to ask:

> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly]

Please note, you will need to register for an account to an XDA account to do this.

Once you are back on stock, you can look for a 4 of 6 match (or better) by looking at teardown websites and comparing the chips. The more chips in common the better. I don't imagine you will find anything usable, but one can dream until the possibility of someone creating native ROMs for the device. If you do find a device that fits the fill, and it has a custom ROM, be sure to fix the updater script to flash boot to the right partition.

Hope this helps, and good luck! :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Clayfree:
Here's my problem. I have an 8125 and need to unlock it to use with T-Mobile. Here's the problem - the phone cannot connect via usb, it charges and everything else seems fine but no data connect.

Is there any way I can unlock this phone? Is calling Cingular my last resort?

Thanks for any help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ultraprimeomega:
calling cingular is the last and safest choice so go for it

but their is sites that you go and pay $$$ and they give you the pin to unlock but i have never used them because i just go to my local phone store to unlock phones
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xeno1:
Try changing usb ports on the back (or front) of your computer with the sync cable and see if that doesn't correct your problem with no data connect. I am assuming that you are runnung activesync on your computer if you're using xp or whatever vistas version is called if you're using vista.

Cingular should still sim unlock your phone for free though if you call them.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] renedg:
use usb killer to change usb setting and you can use activesync again

use usbkiller to change usb setting and you can use activesync again

after that you can find tools on forum to unlock your device

So what should i doing to install another ROM??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
All custom roms here on XDA are specific to the device and forum where you find them.......

S2 roms can only be found in the S2 forums.....

S5 roms can only be found in the S5 forums....

Sony roms......Sony forums.....

Nexus roms.......Nexus forums

etc, etc, etc........

Look here in the S2 forums and you'll find a wide variety of roms to choose from for THIS device.......

Some are basic CyanogenMod roms, some are stock based, some are themed to look like other devices......

You have ICS, JB, KK and LP based roms to choose from......basically you would be hard pressed to exhaust all the flashing possibilities presented on this forum......

One word of caution......If you're after usability and stability, steer clear of the LP based roms......While it's good that current roms are still being compiled for the S2, it is fair to say that the LP based roms are still relatively new, and are not as stable as the older (ICS, JB & KK) roms.

I'm not going to recommend one rom over another.....For one thing, it's against XDA rules, but more importantly, using custom roms is about trial and error.....about trying things out until YOU find a rom that suits YOU......

Basically it comes down to you putting in the screen time, doing your research and experimenting.......

XDA is a friendly bunch of people, and we'll be here to help if things go wrong, but if you learn the processes before you start modifying, things shouldn't go wrong.......

So....put in the screen time, choose what's best for you, and flash away......

Good luck and happy flashing.....

Keith.

Sorry but there is many missings with these ROMs/kernels

There is no many swap and stweaks supported kernel

Some ROMs wont boot after install and other ones doesn't give you full access with root in addition to that triangle away was my best friend

I m using wizzedkat 3.1 and right now cant find a kernel which support stweaks and swap files

easy, use dorimanX 8.44 v005 by computoncio here: http://dorimanx.casoncia.org/index....005-COMP-[16-17]-[29-09]-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE.zip

If you want a different version, here is the link to the folder: http://dorimanx.casoncia.org/index.php?dir=V8/

(You want any V8 version of the kernel because only the V8 kernels support stock Jelly Bean.

64g sd card not recognised by android teclast x98 solved

problem X98 would not even recognise the 64G SD card on further investigation I found that the factory default for this card was in the X-fat format which seemed to work ok in WIN10 mode but was not seen in Android 5.1 mode. I removed the SD card and reformated the card to NTFS 64g on my desktop computer then inserted SD card into tablet plugged tablet in usb port of desktop computer, imediately noticed that the the external SD card was now recognised, proceeded to drag and drop all files to the x98 external SD card no problems now. Works like a charm!

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyriaZ:
Hello ppl..

Yesterday i decided to flash latest "back to n0t3" Note 5 port rom by [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION].Installed latest modem and bootloader (oj5) installed latest Philz recovery wiped and formated everything,and i flashed the rom and layest arter kernel (7.2). Wiped cache / dalvik cache x3 and rebooted the device.Strangelly the device took only 15 sec to boot up to "Select language" menu.. So there i selected my native language,puted my wifi passwors,and here we go.

Normally the next step isbto sign in with your google account.For me it asks me to sign in with an account that allready synced with that device.offcourse it didnt accept my Google account and i couldnt move farward....I cant understand what is going wrong with my phone since i see i an the only one who deal with that problem.

I will provide you all the things i tryed allready but didnt work .

Reflahed the rom

Download the zip file again

Flashed again stock firmware and reroot my device from the beggining

Trying and flashed successfully with latest TWRP and Philz recoverys with no luck

The even stranger think is i decided to try Ditto's Note 5/S6edge+ port rom and i had the same results...It asked me again to sign in with an account that allready synced with that device...

What is going on guys anyone have any idea what is the problem in my phone?

My device is 920f
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theodric58:
Sounds like Google Factory Reset Protection. Not sure how rooting and flashing will interact with the FRP. Did you have more than one Google account on the phone? If so, you might try another account.

FYI, from what I understand, if you change (reset) your Google password, it will not work on the phone for 72 hours.
