I hurried to order my 5x in order to get the $50 Google promotional credit, thinking I could use the credit balance to purchase from the Google store the USB-C cables I knew I would need.

Today, I went to order my cables, and the store wouldn't let me check out, saying "invalid payment method."

I went back to the offer, and in the fine print on the terms it says: "Items ineligible for purchase using promotional balance include certain subscriptions (see the Help Center for more information),

as well as items in the Google Store

." (emphasis added). You can only use the credit to buy intangibles, not actual things.

I feel ripped off, like it was a cheap bait and switch. Was I unreasonable to think I could use a Google credit to buy things at the Google store? You can use the Google credit from their marketing questions (Google opinion rewards) at the store. I don't need any games or movies, but I do need new cables.

That's my rant.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] chocmatic:
This has always been the case.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] electric0ant:
pretty sure it is google PLAY credit, not google STORE credit. so no, you won't able to spend play credit at the store.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] RTNDO128:
I discovered that as well. Google Play credit, regardless of whether it was from this promo or the Opinion Rewards, cannot be used at the store. I called customer support to see if it could be applied to the type C wall charger they sell, and they wouldn't budge. Oh well.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Pandages:
I'm not happy that I can't use the balance on a charger, but I'm also not surprised. Physical equipment costs them a lot more than apps.

With the right cables, you can get away with using an older charger and a minimal difference in charge time. Most of those cables cost way less than google's quick chargers on the store.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] plokm:
yup
[Nexus 5X Accessories] antiseen:
What was the cutoff to receive this credit? I thought it was if you purchased in October? Anyway, I ordered on the 29th and got it on the 30th. Haven't heard anything about it.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jbdan:
You'll get an email to redeem the offer from the Googs. If you don't (say within a week or 2) I'd contact customer support
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kmmccorm:
If you are a Play Music subscriber you can use it to pay that subscription, I was able to switch my recurring payment method to my Play credit balance.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] vickmacky:
I'm pretty sure you had to order by the 25th to get the play store credit.

To the OP, how can you feel ripped off for something you got for free? Entitled much? It's said for play store use only since the beginning, it's your own fault for not reading. Everything has fine print these days.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] solara1973:
Yeah it definitely was the 25th. Any free money is good money. Paid for Nova Launcher prime for me!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] mrdeucie:
Picked up Ellie Goulding album with some of my credit. I also had a promo for half off an album so total cost was less than $9 Play credit
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kellybrf:
how did you do this? I can't find an option to use my play balance?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
I ordered mine on the 18th of October and had to call Google about the credit. It turned out there was an email with a redeem code. I bought nova prime as well! Love it.

And yes it's just Google play apps, BUT, if you're into dating apps, you can use the money towards ok cupid I know for sure but maybe some others as well. That's a plus as I'm trying to buy apps, but now I can't find any worth buying except nova launcher prime of course!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] solara1973:
If you want a camera app with more manual controls, check out ProShot. I used my Google credit to purchase that as well. And Tasker so I can double tap the screen to turn off the phone.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] plwalsh88:
Go to payments.google.com, click Bills and Accounts on the left, click Music subscription, and switch "Pay with" to Google Play Balance.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickromeo:
the phone should have the same SAR test regardless if its in India or North America. so which one is the real test result? there needs to be an accurate test done.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickromeo:
Test results in the United States, should match the test results in india or anywhere else in the world, it is after-all... the same exact phone the testing is being done on. the results should match no matter where you bring the phone to. If any of you have any other test results performed independently, please do share !
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 640k:
let me ask this - if these numbers are solid, is it going to prevent you from buying the phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habs101:
For me, and a few others I know Yes it will prevent them from buying the phone.

I had blackberry phones with high sar rates like the ones listed in the first post, and when talking on the phone .. it would heat up vs my note 3 .

So yes some people actually do look at SAR before purchasing
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pally777:
Checked the FCC for the tests done on the Nexus 6p. See the reports for "exposure" if you're interested. It does list various values for radiation.

I recently loaded the xda developers ver. 1.2 rom to unlock the sim, seemed to work but later found that the phone was not functioning after 5 mins., a soft reset gets it going again, but then stops again after a few mins. This has happened to all three phones I used this program on. Can anyone help me fix this? PLEASE HELP!!!!! Contact me at dspringman@shaw.ca
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] LumpiStefan:
What do you mean with "not functioning"?

Have you installed additonal software or just the ROM 1.2 ?

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] pigds:
By not functioning, I mean that no calls or text messages are received or sent after a few minutes of sitting. I have not installed any other software with it.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
did you install a radiostack along with the rom if so

and you did a 900/1800 radiostack on a 900/1900 device

or the other way around you should reflash the right radio stack

if not you can try choosing the right band in the bootloader
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] pigds:
I did not change the radio stack, the rom 3.17.00, radio version 6.12 . I have set to 1900 with bootloader, still same problem. FIDO in Vancouver, canada. got any suggestions? the sticker says its a pw10b1
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toobers:
I might be missing something coming from a Nexus 6, but the 2GB ram in my new 5x seems to always be full, and just full of Android OS.

I've rebooted and cleared the cache when it gets unbearable, but it seems to make little difference. In a day, I'm right back to maxed out ram and slowness (especially in the Camera app) ensues.

In fact, I've not seen anything less that 1.6 GB ram used, even after both those processes.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
I'm probably in the minority (at least here on xda) who never looks at RAM. I've gone into the "memory" setting once since I've owned the phone (11 days). I haven't cleared cache. My 5X works 99% perfect as far as lag/stutters or slow performance, for my use. Do you play a lot of games or use huge memory intensive apps maybe or does your phone slow to a crawl often, could be an app/s?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcolawl:
Depends what you have running, honestly. I use my phone a fair amount. Mostly for texting or to quickly Google something, so I usually don't have 10 apps all running at the same time. Right now my phone is using 1.3gb of RAM. I barely check. I've never felt that it's needed more. That being said, I suppose you can try flashing the clean ROM that has surfaced in the Development forum if you're willing to Root and unlock the bootloader.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budzylikessoup:
I've been noticing this as well.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimv1983:
My Nexus 5X usually runs at 1.3-1.4GB used and from what I've read that is a good thing because that means the RAM is being used efficiently by caching things used a lot and only freeing up memory when something else actually needs it. So far, after 10 days, I've only seen a very tiny bit of lag.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopri:
Yah it seems like 2GB is not nearly enough for moderate to heavy use. Another oddity is that the system tells me there is a sizable amount of free RAM (like 600~700 MB) when 3rd party apps say there is less than 200 MB left.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
No problems here. Runs just as well (if not better) than my 2 year old Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bexwhitt:
compared to the S3 with nameless rom 5.0 (the only one that did not randomly freeze up) the 5X is fairly faultless with very few niggles
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimv1983:
I'm guessing it's because of how memory is likely managed in Android and how the system vs 3rd party app report it. If you look at the Memory tab in the Resource Monitor on Windows 7 you will see memory that is "In Use" which is actually being used by programs. then you have memory that is "Stand By" which is memory that was used by previous programs/files but is technically "available" but keeping the old stuff there in case you use it again soon. If some thing else needs the memory then it is the stuff in "Stand By" that gets reallocated first. Then you have "Free" which really is free. I think Android memory management works in a similar way. If that is the case then the system might be showing you "Free" + "Stand By" since "Stand By" technically is available for use while the 3rd party app just shows what is marked as "Free".

Not sure if this is the case. Just a guess.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chimpknowskungfu:
So, as i understand it, I have to send a sprint prl using qpst to this phone in order to revert it back to stock settings. but what do I do after I send the prl to it? do i update profile/updale prl in system updates under settings?

I believe I changed a few settings like M.ip, ppp, AN/UN tabs, etc. when I programmed it to work with pageplus. That was quite a long time ago and i don't have the original settings for these fields in qpst. Will updating the profile restore these settings?

Also, where should I be getting the prl from? I found one that was named 25009.prl...would this be okay to use?

Thanks.

Shot in the dark I guess but since I got this device, Snapchat has been terribly laggy and almost unusable. Specifically when using the keyboard for text. Sometimes when I launch it, the camera is just black for roughly 5 seconds and then the back camera comes on finally. The chat feature is very slow at times and the entire app seems to stall and crash at least once a day. Anyone else notice this?

A quick google search yielded several recent topics on various forums complaining about the same thing, all on 6.0 Marshmallow. Hopefully it's not just this device.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budzylikessoup:
I'm getting this exact thing
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felipealco:
I went through that too. Once I had to restart it to make the camera work again. My tip is do not try use volume keys until it load completely. It just frozen the app in a black screen. Isn't perfect but can be used.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danthepan124:

I am returning my phone to my dad because i'm getting an upgrade and he wants to sell it, so i tried to revert to stock from CM12.1 unofficial nightlies. I flashed the FNJ1 system and boot.img. my phone was on FNJ1. now it's stuck on the at&t logo and i cant do anyhting, any help?

Edit: In the mean time i've reverted to cm12 but i still need to revert to stock so any help is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You have to factory reset after flashing back to stock. If you are going to sell it, I suggest doing so from stock recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] l3gionaires:
I reflashed the FNJ1 rom and then factory reset afterwards and it still hangs at the AT&T boot logo, any other suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Where did the rom come from exactly? There are a few that I've seen. Did you check the md5 to make sure the download wasn't corrupted?

Can you verify your bootloader / baseband?

Using terminal emulator (twrp has one built in) enter this.

getprop ro.bootloader

getprop ro.baseband

Let us know what it says.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] l3gionaires:
i used Enewman's fnj1 system and boot.img from the general forum here. and i cant boot into recovery only download mode, but i know for sure it was ucufnj1

also the other post is me:

We will need more detailed info if you don't mind.

What were you on before? cm 12.1

What "stock rom" and what recovery exactly did you flash. enewman's fnj1

How did you flash? cwm

You said it "still doesn't boot" but we're able to flash it, do you mean it just won't boot android? yes

Can you boot download mode? yes

What was wrong that made you need to flash the rom and recovery to make it boot, and how did it get to that point to begin with? need to get to stock to sell, wouldnt boot, and the soft brick help said to try flashing stock recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] l3gionaires:
I managed to boot into recovery by flashing an older version of CWM via Odin. i flashed CM12.1 back again and it boots! :P thank god i have a phone again. any ideas as to what is causing the softbrick?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Hard to say. I do know that enewman17 recommends flashing with twrp, and that's what most people have used AFAIK. So there may be something about the newer cwm that executes the script a little differently. That's purely a guess though. Could've just been a bad flash for whatever reason.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] l3gionaires:
Should I try flashing twrp and then flashing the stock rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
if i'm not mistaken CWM has pretty much been abondoned and no longer updated.

twrp and philz are preferred.

then again , "couldve just been a bad flash for whatever reason".

"all i can really do is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You can try it if you like. Keep cm available just in case though. You might try some of the other stock builds too. Check the general and development section. I think there's about 3 NJ2 roms, each done a little differently.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] l3gionaires:
TWRP is a million times better! works great thanks for the suggestion!

i updated my bootloader and modem to nj2 then flashed the stock rom for nj2 (this time using TWRP) and had the same outcome, it just hangs on the AT&T logo. I think this phone is doomed to be a CM12.1 phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
That's strange. Did you try a different one if the NJ2 stock roms as well?

Oh and did you check the md5 to make sure the download wasn't corrupted?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] l3gionaires:
all md5s match and i tried enewman's deodexed fnj2 roms as well and it still hangs at AT&T Logo. maybe it's an issue of returning from Lollipop to KK?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Check the cm rom threads. Maybe someone else there has run into a similar problem. I don't use it myself, so I'm not familiar enough with it to say.

I'll try to do a little digging when I get home. There's got to be some sort of explanation!

(Have you ever tried reformatting /system to anything other than ext4? )

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

Maybe try another TW custom rom. Just to see if it does the same thing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
It is probably a matter of coming back from an AOSP/CyanogenMod Lollipop rom back to a stock KitKat rom. I have seen a number of reports of people having the same issue of getting stuck at the logo during boot.

I have seen two fixes being reported as working, both are going to make you work to set the phone up for use.

1) After flashing enewman17's NJ1/NJ2 rom, stay in recovery and flash the stock recovery. Reboot into recovery then do a factory reset from the stock recovery.

2) If the above didn't work, use Odin to reflash TWRP or Philz recovery. From the recovery format the internal sdcard. Have the NJ1/NJ2 rom stored on an external sdcard so that you can reflash it from recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] l3gionaires:
i'll try these when I get home and update asap

also @ DocHoliday I don't Know how to do that
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] l3gionaires:
