No problems for me... but I'm using a BT headsets :LOL:

That comment was about as useful as a condom with no teat.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 267841:
Sure, but it seems an easily solvable bug...
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
It's not a bug, it's a hardware defect. Bluetooth isn't as good quality as 3.5mm connections, some people like quality.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IWasPokemon:
Good for you using BT...but the problem I am facing is not "an easily solvable (software) bug":rolleyes:
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 267841:
first of all: I say bug. they exists software and hardware bug, aka defects.

and also, isn't a major problem. the phone is in your pocket. why don't use your fingers to up/down the volume?

note: I don't pretend to be a troll; is just it doesn't seems too important
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IWasPokemon:
Agreed... whatever we call it, and yes, from an user's perspective, such an issue really is not a major problem at all, as there are solutions/workarounds for it: such as yours, or using the soft slider from the pulldown menu if the hardware buttons on the phone are not functional either.

The purpose of my post is not for finding a solution for my needs, but wanted to verify with other Zuk Z1 owners and see if it's just a rare case, or it's indeed a born defect of ZUK Z1. The latter could be a big deal for a startup company...or maybe not.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Pretty much accurate. Fyi though, "bug" refers solely to software. Defect, flaw, imperfection etc could be used to describe hardware but "bug" is a software terminology. I could explain how the term came to be but honestly.. Who can be bothered listening to that? Pretty sure you lost interest in this message the very moment you realised I was correcting you about something you didn't give two sh*ts about :good: :D

Tried the only cable headset that I have located at my house.

It only can control the volume (by a slide, not by buttons) and is working fine to up/down the volume.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikons:
received my zuk z1 international version (from amazon germany) couple days ago. I have beats solo 2 and I cannot change the volume using the inline buttons. I can stop, start, forward the track but no volume control. Not sure if this is specific to Zuk since I just tried on oneplus 2 and it's behaving the same way, although the pin goes all the way down on my Oneplus 2. I guess at this point we need to figure out if this issue is due to the pin not going all the way down or there is something else hampering this functionality.

Hi , my ZUK was previously ZUI with such a system ordered , after a change to the CM and previously ZUI had no problem with volume. Regards.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IWasPokemon:
you mean there was no such a problem with ZUI but with Cynagon OS?
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IWasPokemon:
Thanks for the info. I will try it out on mine when I get a similar headphone set. BTW, would you mind to confirm if the plug of your headset can be inserted all way down into the Z1's audio socket, as it would do on your other phones?

Thank you!
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmxturuu@gmail.com:
no issues on mine either. but there is low volume bug but i just received an update maybe its fixed now, will let you know.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vomppis:
I've also noticed that my headphone plug doesn't go all the way to the end. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that though.

Also when I have my headphones plugged in and using the phone (basically doing anything with it that uses processor even a little) I can hear some "crackling" sound/noise from my headphones.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hassib85:
For Letv le1 pro if you have TWRP installed you won't be able to update via OTA automatically. It will fail and it is a real pain to always download the full rom package and flash. Moreover an OTA update notification will pop up continuously which is really annoying.

Here I will tell how to update via TWRP by doing a small modification to the OTA package.

Things Needed:

Winrar

Notepad ++

Steps

1. At first download the OTA package but don't reboot to install it

2. Copy the update zip from the ota update folder of you phone to your pc

3. Open the update.zip file but don't extract it. Just open it via winrar

4. In winrar window navigate to META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script

5. Double click on updater script and open it with Notepad ++

6. In Notepad++ window delete everything from row 8 up to the above line of "# radio update task" like the image sample below

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-mgR2LkvkEtQjVSU0tsNWdXRjQ/view?usp=sharing

7. Save it and close winrar

8. Copy this zip file to your phone and you will able to flash it via TWRP.

thank u for this helpful tutorial
[Nexus 6P Accessories] painfree:
Since I am a newbie in this technology, what is a proximity sensor and what is it used for when it detects or does not detect something?.. I installed the proximity sensor finder app on my Nexus 6 and I could not tell any details except timer started when portion of phone front was covered YET the measurement displayed did not say anything other than 0 or 5.00000 etc.. I also use the phone in speaker mode ..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Tsuul:
The proximity sensor is there to turn the screen off during a phone call when you move the phone to your head. It turns the screen back on when you move it away from your head after. On the 6P it is located below the speaker grill.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] painfree:
Thank you,, so the proximity sensor serves a power saving function? I just tested this with my Nexus 6 using a TruShield TGSP and it worked fine.. I find it strange that a clear glass screen protector would not work on the Nexus 6P ??
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Tung_meister:
No, the purpose of it is to deactivate the screen when it's against your face on a call so that you don't press things on the screen with your ear/face.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheMistyMay:
Yes, it does save a little power (you can power off the screen while on a call), but is really helps the screen know when you have the phone to your face. This allows it to disable input so you don't hit buttons on the screen while on a call.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TroyonXDA:
It's a neat feature, but adds some difficulty because not all screen protectors are cut out to allow it to function fully. Like those above said, it helps you by not pressing buttons while you're talking.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Hoodeddeathman:
I would also assume that android uses the proximity sensor for "on body detection" to tell if it's in your pocket or out in the open etc.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheBali86:
I am having similar sort of issue, I have glass protector on nexus 6P and when I dial any number the screen will go black and will not come back until the other person hangs up. even the phone is not near my face, how strange. not sure how to resolve
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dewedMountain:
I also have a problem of my screen not turning on if I move it away from my face. At first I thought it was proximity sensor dead, but I used the proximity sensor finder app and was able to see that it works fine if I cover it. So it could be a bug with dialer/caller app in Marshmallow. Or maybe there's a setting somewhere.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] twosix:
How to turn off the proximity sensor? I have a tgsp that does not have a cut out for the sensor.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Return the tgsp because it's defective. The newer revisions do not suffer from the defect.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ericss81:
My screen does not go dark when I put my 6P by my ear. How can I check if my sensor is on or off? TThanks
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbuddypal:
UPDATE: Got it working on a windows 7 machine.

I've been trying to unlock my bootloader but have been having issues. I have done the following:

- Enabled Developer Options

- Enabled USB Debugging

- Enabled the OEM Unlock in the Developer Options

- Installed drivers via android SDK

I have adb and fastboot installed from the android SDK. Using that, I have been able to see my device with 'adb devices'. I have also been able to reboot it using 'adb reboot bootloader'. However, once the phone is in fastboot, it does not seem to be detected by my machine. I have tried 'fastboot devices' to no avail. Using 'fastboot oem unlock' just stalls at '< waiting for device >'. Am I missing something?

I have also tried:

- Using a different computer

- Using different USB ports

- Using different ADB / fastboot package (the minimal one).

Please assist! I'd really like to unlock my bootloader now for future flexibility.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
There do appear to be new fastboot commands. Not sure if "fastboot devices" should work or not, but "fastboot oem unlock" has been replaced with "fastboot flashing unlock"
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitte:
Try downloading and installing the latest USB drivers with the SDK manager if you have not yet.

Then go into the device manager (win+x -> device manager)

search for something named like android or simmilar (i dont own a n5x so i cant help you with that)

right click -> update driver software -> browse computer -> pick from list -> have a disk -> browse

now you should see an openfile dialog. driver is in: android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

hit open and select "android adb interface" (not composite)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbuddypal:
For some reason i thought that only applied to the 6p. Regardless, I just tried that command and it does the same ' <waiting for device >'.

Well, I did previously do that where I selected the drivers from the downloaded directory (from google's website). Looking in the device manager, while the device is booted up (not in the bootloader), I see two entries. One in Portable Devices as Nexus 5x, and one in Android Device as "Android Composite ADB Interface". I can't seem to get it to NOT be composite. That driver keeps reappearing even if i try to uninstall it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitte:
The Nexus 5x entry is the MTP interface I guess. The other one would be the ADB interface. For the other one: I had the same problem with a galaxy nexus once when i uses outdated drivers. When you update the dirver there is a checkbox called sth like show only compatible drivers try checking/unchecking that if redular adb interface doesnt show up. Anyhow, i uploaded you the most recent USB drivers just in case. www32.zippyshare(dot)com/v/hloEVk9l/file.html

Install the normal adb interface one while you are in the bootloader and try unlock afterwards with either "fastboot oem unlock" or the new "fastboot flashing unlock"
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbuddypal:
A few more updates.....

When the USB option is set to "Charging", the device does show up as "Google Nexus ADB Interface". When I select PTP, it shows up as the "Android Composite ADB Interface". I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and that didnt seem to help. When the device is in the bootloader, it shows up in the computer's device manager as "Android". Is that normal? I had windows search for a driver in the drivers folder you uploaded but it didnt find any compatible one.

Still not working :(
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitte:
Yes this is normal. For the bootloader part, do not let windows search automaticly. Do as i described earlier exept use the driver i uploaded for you or search any other nexus usb driver install guide since the process did not change :)

Same applies to the installation when you are in the system already. Exept do not override any driver that is under portable devices since its the file transfer protocoll driver.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbuddypal:
I succeeded! To be honest - I'm not entirely sure how / why it worked. What I did was install ADB and fastboot from Here on a windows 7 desktop. I was able to detect the device in ADB and reboot to the bootloader. The first time I tried to run fastboot oem unlock failed. The fastboot flashing unlock didnt work and didnt seem to be recognized. I was about to give up, but ran fastboot oem unlock again and that time it worked.

Not sure exactly what that was about, but success! Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckxtales:
im having the same issue too. fastboot can't see the 5X phone. image attached. how did you resolve this?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfryer1193:
Solution on Linux

I had a similar problem earlier today on one of my linux boxes. Turns out, in order to use fastboot (successfully) under linux, you need to run fastboot with sudo rights.

If I had to guess, I'd guess this is because unlike adb, fastboot doesn't run as a server, so fastboot always needs to get elevated permissions to communicate with a device on a USB port.

Maybe it's possible that Windows wants Administrator rights for similar reasons?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbuddypal:
Sorry, I really don't have any more feedback to give you. It really did seem like voodoo when it worked. The only thing I can think to explain the "random" aspect is that perhaps it is related to the quality of cable used. I was using these (http://www.amazon.com/Orzly-Type-Cables-Assorted-Colours/dp/B013RMG5WY/ref=cm_rdp_product), which have now been taken down due to cable standards as described in the comments section for that product. I was thinking that maybe the different USB port on the desktop machine was somehow able to get sufficient voltage or something. Voodoo!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPurity:
I am having the exact same issue with my 6P right now. However it shows when I do adb devices, just not fastboot devices. Weird...

I even uninstalled the Google USB driver and reinstalled it using Android Studio but Still did not work. Then I even went to Device Manager and uninstalled and deleted the driver. Then went manually to file path C:\Users\MyWindowsLoginName\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver and clicked next. It installed successfully, but displays as Android Composite ADB Interface. So I guess that is correct then?

Tried to just sideload the new 6.0.1 OTA update using adb since adb devices was recongizing it but still not found...

C:\Users\Matthew\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb sideload angler-MMB29M-from-MDB08L.zip

loading: 'angler-MMB29M-from-MDB08L.zip'

error: device '(null)' not found

EDIT: I got it after unplugging my phone, killing the adb.exe process in task manager, waiting until in bootloader before plugging phone in, then running fastboot devices shows the serial number now. I hope that helps others!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garvinr:
I am having this same issue of not being able to install the fastboot driver on Nexus 5X in W7. ADB driver installed no problem, but attaching the 5x in fastboot mode results in "android" device appearing in device manager with no driver installed and no way to install drivers. I have tried every solution suggested in this thread ... re-installing Android SDK, direct installing via device manager, different cables/ports, updating java, running fastboot w/ admin rights, and a few others. Any other suggestions?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
I had the same trouble on my 64 bit Windows system. I believe it was HTC sync software that threw the monkey wrench. But I uninstalled that software together with all the adb fastboot drivers for my other devices, removed all adb fastboot versions, then installed the 64 bit version of the Minimal adb fastboot tool.

All good now
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangxiangg:
I think I had the exact same issue. ADB works perfectly fine, but while the phone is in fastboot mode, it shows up in Windows Device Manager as "Android" without a driver. I had to manually "force" install the driver to fix this:

1. right click -> "Update Driver Software..."

2. "Browse my computer for driver software"

3. "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

4. "Android Device"

5. Pick "Android Bootloader Interface Version: 11.0.0.0 [8/28/2014]" (you may get a warning for this from Windows, just OK it)

To clarify, you do this while you are in Fastboot Mode and you right-click on "Android" in step 1.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nordendorf:
+1 for Nova. If you got the $50 credit, get Nova Prime (paid), although test out the free one first to see if you like it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
I like Action Launcher 3 better than Nova but the latter is as good as it gets if you want to set up the phone old school. Realistically everyone should have a second launcher installed off the market just to get the backup for a corrupt stock launcher. You don't have to use it but if the stock launcher is hosed Android will start the phone up with the second which will allow you to get through your day and deal with the fix later.

Perhaps someone else will flesh this out for you but the reason people are saying install another launcher may be because you didn't used to be able to rid yourself of the search bar without root on Nexus devices. Not sure if this has changed since I only screwed around with it when it first came out for about the 5 minutes it took to figure out I hated it and haven't looked back since. Maybe that has changed though...

the gesture capabilities are nice on Nova too. i do a double tap to launch the Play Store for App updates.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mi|enko:
You should download the screen off app and bind the double tap to turn off the screen. That for off and the fingerprint for on, you'll never have to touch the power button (but double tapping the power button for quick camera is still pretty awesome, so you probably will - lol).

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
OK, so third party launchers? I always keep stock launcher active. I'm going to give the stock launcher a decent chance but that bar might drive me to Nova or action.

That doesn't make any sense. I've been using it for a few days and I've had no problems with Imprint at all.

Update: I take that back. So, I just played with it a little bit and you're right. If I power off via the button, imprint allows me to power on and unlock immediately. If I double-tap to power off, when I touch the sensor, it still asks for the pin code.

I personally like the Google Now launcher. I don't see what's wrong with the search bar at the top, personally. I'm not a fan of the newest skin they put on it, though.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banggugyangu:
As I saidsaid... I'm not much of a fan of the new skin for the search bar, but I find myself tapping that when I am just searching rather than swiping for Google Now.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gekko2:
i nixed the search bar and used Nova to place the Voice Search App Icon to the right of my App Drawer Button. so at the very bottom of my phone i have Phone Icon on left, App Drawer Button in middle, and Voice Search Icon on right. if i need to Voice Search i just hit it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haik0:
The only way to get rid of Google's search bar, without installing any 3rd party launcher is by having an "Xposed framework" installed on your device, which will allow you to install and run "Xposed GEL Settings", which will allow you to switch of the search bar and a lot more. Mind you, that Xposed Framework is not yet well optimized with Android 6.0 and even if it were, u still had to root your device to be able to install it.

So basically your best bet is to install Action Launcher 3 or Nova launcher, which will allow you to create the homescreen you want to have, including the ability to apply custom icon packs.

I personally use the Action Launcher 3, I made it look just like Google Now launcher, but without that search bar.
