In a race to hit the market first most of the accessory manufacturers made a lot of poor design choices (Using leaks and wrong renders off the internet). Hope they give a lot of us refunds or better yet send us better replacement products for free.

Slick Wraps

Anyone having an issue on the Slick wraps, the whole is there, but I believe it may be off. I have two devices same issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 318sugarhill:
Received my replacement tgsp from Mr. SHIELD from Amazon. Free replacement. Much better design. The old one had the whole chunk cut out at the top for the speaker and camera, and bug chunk missing for the bottom speaker. Now the speakers are small rectangular cutouts with an extra notch for the proximity sensor, and a hole cutout for the front camera. Much better. Works without issue now.

Same problem with me I think our tempered glass may be a problem

I just got my 6p 3 days ago it was working perfectly before applying tempered glass

[SOLVED] Without glass protector

All

I was having all the issues everyone was reporting but .... I didnt have a glass protector on it - I've never had a glass protector

I downloaded this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=asd.vector.sensor&hl=en

and it showed me my proximity sensor was always at 0 - i.e. it thought there was something covering it constantly

I then read a post that stated the proximity was "behind" the top grill for the speaker (I had previously assumed it was just beneath this.

Anyway, I gave the speaker a few very large blows (dont laugh!), I guess I shouldve used compressed air canister !?

And it worked ?!

Something must have been stuck in the speaker grill and was causing the proximity sensor to read "0" all the time

Now its fixed and I have one less problem to deal with

Hope it helps you guys
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabrieVanZanten:
Damn..... that helped me too !!! A few good pufs on the top speaker and the proximity tester app shows a reaction again. If all issues could be this simple to solve :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lashurst:
I've got this problem now. I had a glass protector on but cracked it. So I bought another and when I made a call the screen went black. So I bought another with a bigger cutout. Still the same. So I've had to take it off. What is the cure for this?

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

I've just been trying the screen protector on the screen and ringing my house number. The sensor is below the top speaker and the protector covers it, hence a black screen. If I move the SP down a bit the phone works ok. So, it seems that the cutout isn't big enough. The gap below the speaker has to be the same as the black portion above it.

Happened to me
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirkBelig:
OMG! Canned air rescued mine, too! After Nougat, I had the screen staying off after calls. I don't have a screen protector and already did a miserable factory reset with no change. AIDA64 showed the proximity sensor at 5cm until I moved my hand close at which point it dropped to 0cm and stayed. Thought I was facing an RMA when I saw these posts. Puff puff with some canned are and voila!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpshintri:
I was also having same problem and after reading these answer's I also removed my screen guard and paste little down or you may cut the little portion of the screen really I done the first one and paste the screen little down of the sensor and my phone now working you all also try it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yulasinio:
How strange this is but it worked for me also. My phone screen would go black once I covered the sensor and would remain in this state not allowing me to hang up on calls.

On a sensor test the initial state was FAR once covered it would go NEAR and remain like this when uncovered.

After a few puffs with an air canister around the top speaker the sensor is back in action again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisarades:
Screen won't off

I have a quite different issue. It happened immediately and still on.

The screen was heating like a cooker when I'm calling. Then only I noticed that screen won't off when I'm calling. Then I checked with AIDA64 and confirmed that my proximity sensor isn't working.

Is there any possibility of having connection with weak battery? because until the proximity sensor issues observed, my battery has worked so well. But now everything has gone crazy. Sometimes phone start heating for no reason and when it restarted, it settles. But the battery is draining within 2-3 hours.

I'm in Sri Lanka and there is no proper agent or agency for repairs. Can any one suggest a good reason for the current issues?

Is it possible to replace proximity sensor alone? or I have to replace whole motherboard? or the battery?

The rattle from my volume rocker was the first thing I noticed when I received my device. I told google and they sent me a new one.

The new one's buttons are much better, but the screen has the pink hue issue like others here are complaining about. I'll see if it goes away in the next week and if not, I'll RMA this one too. ...sigh..
[One (M9) General] d-pak:
I consider myself an HTC fan. My last non HTC was iphone 3g.

So I got an S6 Edge using of those "Try a Samsung for $1 for a month" deals. I have been slowing bring the S6 up to speed for the last few days adding more apps that I use and finally switched over the Sim card.

I think I am a convert.

The screen and camera alone is worth it...the M9 has that soft button and by not having those the useful screen real estate of the s6 is so much more. The edge is gimmicky but cool. The AMOLED is the way to go....it can be kept so much brighter and crisp without using more battery.

The slap in the face of all M9 owners with the A9 having not only OIS but also AMOLED...is just salt in the wound. Seriously does HTC even listen to owners gripes.

The battery of the M9 is better, not having bloatware is better, I like the SD cards (though Lollipop onwards does not seem to favor external SD). The speaker sound on the M9 is richer and I use the speakers a lot for music, but the S6 is louder. Sense > TouchWiz (themes can help with that). Front Camera is better on M9.

But, the S6 charges very quickly (0-100% in ~1hr), the finger scanner is very useful. more screen. For the value S6 is kinda expensive.

I tried keeping both with me, but found myself favoring the S6. Even without cases the S6 is just too damn sexy to hold. Has HTC lost me as a customer forever?
[One (M9) General] rzarectha:
I understand what you mean, I have an M9 and my girlfriend has an Edge, so I had the chance to play with both quite a lot. All your observations are spot on, but my only recommendation is to never say never ;) HTC is not an "evil" company imo, they did fall short with the M9 but I still have hope they will treat this as a learning experience and give us better and better devices in the future.
[One (M9) General] Cryosx:
They lose you and just about everyone else if they don't deliver the M10. If HTC doesn't knock it out of the park (Amazing Phone Design, Amazing Battery Life, Amazing Screen, Amazing Camera, Audio Quality, etc.) then their phone business may very well die next year.
[One (M9) General] VergiL09:
My office mate has an S6 edge, and I would say that I agree with most of what you said, it's cool, has and EXCELLENT screen and camera.

But "Sense > TouchWiz" is still debatable.
[One (M9) General] teddy0209:
Samsung did leave their plastic trademark on the s6, but it cost way more to have 128gb storage... I like to customize, so I prefer qualcomm chips... The cam is downer on m9, but I don't use it a lot... I miss x-cam on LG though, best cam on phone for me... =)
[One (M9) General] Teo032:
Nice unbiased review. Appreciate it.

Also, are you charging the m9 with quick charge 2.0? Because HTC stock charger is not a quick charger.... whack I know lol
[One (M9) General] dlads:
Personally i wouldn't but thats me, whatever floats your boat.

I'd just be weary of their OS, it's heavy and not the most serious environment, HTC is much sleeker so (at least for me) keeps it looking much better and in my opinion more efficient.

The grass is always greener, it's for that reason i've always come back to HTC as you can see from my previous phones. The S5 was their last great phone, it had everything, development was spot on too.
[One (M9) General] gnuton:
I have an M9, but I still dream for something else. The M9 is a mediocre phone.

What makes it a bad phone for me is the camera, display and the outdated sense UI.

Unlocking the bootloader is BTW something nice but HTC scares people not to use it in order not to void the warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasmodye:
Hello all!

I want to root my Note 4 so I could remove bloatware, earphone volume restriction, wakelocks, etc and use a custom ROM but, reading at the forum, it looks like somethings are different now since I last rooted a phone( LG G2). Can you guys help me with some question?

1- I have a Galaxy Note 4 910C with 5.1.1 stock rom installed. What kernel( I don't want anything special here, only an good overall perfomance and battery life) do you guys think I should use since now a custom kernel is must for rooting?

2 - I'm also looking into using DN5 or Sixperience custom ROM and I always see people talking about new bootloader and modem. What are those?

3 - Is anything else I should know before rooting( custom kernel -> TWRP for recovery - Custom ROM)?

Thx in advance :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zionator:
1-2. If you need all the functions of the phone then stock kernel is best as some of it don't work right on custom kernels unless the developer of the custom rom has done something about it when changing the stock kernel for a custom. "Welcome to TW roms" Compared to other manufactures its a pain in the beep to use Sammy's TW but I do love the whole spen feature.

I don't have a C so cant tell you much about there battery life but a solid rom on stock kernel can be very good and mix it with what ever app you use to freeze apps and its good. I use 3c toolbox "paid version" the best app ever.

Bootloaders and modems must match the rom version you want to flash or you will end up in bootloops so example if you want coi3 based rom then bootloader and modem must be coi3 as well or it wont work. in odin BL = bootloader and CP = modem.

3. use odin to flash the recovery and rooting I cannot remember as I did that only once which was a few weeks after note 4 was released so much could have changed since that.
[XDA Assist] ozzyzorda:
I have a Galaxy Note 3 on T-Mobile. I have it rooted usig CF-AutoRoot with smn900t and Odin Mod.

my phone has been running fine (besides a busted GPS that I can't fix for some reason) until last week. I was playing Minions on my home network when the Wifi shut off suddenly. I thought nothing of it, but then I realized after hitting the Wifi button it wasn't turning on. I went to the setting menu and swiped the toggle to the right. It would remain grey and still say "off". After approx. 120 seconds, it just slides back over into the original "off" position. I also cannot utilize my systems Hotspot function.

I'd like to know if there is an option that doesn't require my to do a full system reset. I have data that I can't recover or back up and restore without root access. If I have to restore, I will not root my phone. it was nearly impossible for me to do, and it still doesn't give me full root access.

I have no idea what could have disabled my wifi and my phone was stationary for the most part when the issue happened. if you need any additional info, please let me know.

Outside of getting a new phone, anyone have any idea on how to get my WiFi capabilities back, or at least an alternative to downloading my apps and settings that doesn't require using my already capped cell data?
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Hmm ... could also be a hardware issue.

If you are still on warranty, try to flash back an official firmware and claim warranty.

If not ...

There you should get best and quick help and advices of users with the same device like you.

Good luck !
[XDA Assist] ozzyzorda:
I'm almost certain it is a hardware issue. I reset my phone back to stock and no bueno. Plus, my phone is long over its warranty date and the Knox Counter was tripped. I can't see how the hardware would just fail just sitting there, but its technology.

OK, unless they're rolling back the version machine this is just a shell. But it does tell us something in the works.

device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS990-SPRINT/LS990ZVC.rdf

Now, 2 possibilities: Some sort of urgent fix for both the G3 and G4 (since they both now have one in the oven) is one.

Second one is that the fluffy stuff - already reported on LG's own site as in the works - is coming.

Don yer tinfoil hats folks and speculate away!

Could you please elaborate on the fluffy stuff? BTW the ZVC.rdf has been out there for a long time, almost as long as the last update for the lg g3. See the following http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS990-SPRINT/latest still no release though.

P.S. I'm hoping that it has something to do with boost mobile hopefully adding the g3 to the approved devices list.
[Sprint LG G3] geeksmurf:
I'll just stick to speculating it's the monthly security updates LG said it would start doing. Shame Sprint will drag their feet so it won't really be current. Oh and Monthly or so updates are gonna be darn annoying dealing with rerooting and all that jazz.
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
This rdf posted around the 17th. I noticed it and put it inn my zv9 rdf thread. Hopefully something comes up from it. Probably 5.1.1 if anything, now that Marshmallow is out lol

Does boost not have it's own RDF type files, specifically for phones that are on(or capable of being on) boost?

Edit: just looked, and boost has a g3 listed on their phones page. Is that the ls990 or another variant?
[Sprint LG G3] dorsey6250:
Saw this in the rdf file:

<prf:eek:SVersion>Android 4.4.2 / M8974AAAAANLYD2145A.1</prf:eek:SVersion>

So unfortunately it doesn't look to be Marshmallow.

EDIT: I am dumb, that's a really old version. Maybe they're just not done updating the rdf yet? Maybe it is the big M...
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
The ZVC RDF was posted around the 17th of October. Almost 3 weeks ago, so it's not am old RDF. They have not changed barely anything in the RDF since the initial release, and ZVB was listed the same way, and it was still 5.0.1. The only important thing the RDF shows is that someone at Sprint is working on an update. Who knows what version the actual update will be.
[Sprint LG G3] geeksmurf:
7VC Source code has been posted. Sprint tends to release on a Monday or Friday. Might be a upcoming fun week...

Oh and it's still lollipop....
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
It will probably release tomorrow if the source is out now. It's still lollipop, but is it 5.1 or 5.0.1 is the real question now.
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
I guess I was wrong on the Monday date. Maybe Friday then lol.
[Sprint LG G3] RayTrue04:
http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS991-SPRINT/latest

It's not the G3 but it is 6.0. Being that the current firmware for the G3 is ZVB let's assume that 4.4.2 listed on ZVC is just because they haven't fully updated the rdf page. I don't see why they would release 5.1 instead of just skipping it for 6.0.
[Sprint LG G3] scottspa74:
Lots of self supporting going on there. I wouldn't be so confident. But, you, know more than I, clearly, about some stuff.
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
the readme in the source says download 5.0.1_r1 source and merge. thats the same as zva said, i believe. and the ZVB Build is using build LRX21Y which is somewhere between 5.0.0_r7 and 5.0.1_r1. hmmm

Hello to all. I would like to ask you advice/ opinion regarding my case. I own a Lenovo clone M7 MT6572 with those features:

Hardware : MT6572

Model : M7

Build number : A10E_AX_CHT_S7_MTH_V02_10042015

Build date UTC : 20150410-100306

Android v : 4.4.2

Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V36.P3, 2015/01/08 16:13

Kernel v : 3.4.67 (user@wchuanming) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Apr 10 18:01:07 CST 2015

It's rooted, but it still retains it's original ROM.

Suddenly ,out of the blue, the upper part of the screen (the area around the clock) started to blink or to flick, like in a PC monitor when you set the frequency to high.

The worst part was ,after a while , the 9/10 part of the screen went black (black out) except the small upper flickering part,which was still responsive to touch.If i close it for a couple minutes it is restored but for a short period of time.

I tried a lot like reseting and restoring the factory settings, formating the system and cache,but nothing seems to be the solution.

It's any way to boot it in safe mode? Do you believe is a software or a hardware problem? Any suggestion will be welcome
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
So, I pretty much hate lockscreen security and never enable a secure lockscreen because for me, it's an inconvenience (let's not get into a debate about it).

With the Nexus 6P, I wanted to give all of the features a try, so I enabled the fingerprint scanner and registered my prints to get the "full" experience. I also enabled trusted devices and connected my Moto 360, trusted faces, and trusted voices. For me, this means I should pretty much never see a PIN Lock screen, yet I have been getting it randomly all the time. Am I missing something?

It's completely random. The phone can be sitting on the table for a few minutes, I'll get an email/SMS and if I tap on it on Ambient display, sometimes it'll take me to the message and sometimes it will ask for a PIN (or fingerprint). My watch is still on my wrist. Sometimes, I go to unlock the phone with my fingerprint and it prompts me for my PIN out of the blue. And putting in my PIN is the only way to get it to let me in.

At this point, I'm ready to just turn it all off. I was only using it for faster unlocking and Google Play Purchases. I was never going to to use Android Pay because of the forced locksreen security and if this is how it's going to behave, I know I can't. Is anyone else having this issue? My phone is completely stock other than an unlocked bootloader.
