Yeah really...I don't miss Sense and was never fond of Blinkfeed. Win win for me.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
There are some things sense does better in my eyes.Its little things like the + on folders to batch add apps .Still can't believe stock android can't sync Facebook pics with contacts. Blinkfeed is good for me ,just need to sort out current location bug
[Nexus 6P General] flar2:
I used to be a big fan of Sense, but I prefer stock Android now. Google now is also a lot more useful than Blinkfeed. Once you start using it, it becomes very intuitive. It knows where I've parked, it knows which buses I take, it shows updates for my deliveries. Blinkfeed doesn't come close.
[Nexus 6P General] mushages:
now go explain this in the mega discussion thread. lol I converted my M8 to GPE and never going back.

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

that's the most annoying thing.I lost all my contact pics because I always synced them with Facebook and twitter.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Each to there own I suppose
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
The Facebook thing was removed years ago by Google due to fb policies. Not really a bug deal as Facebook is not really used outside of kids nowadays
[Nexus 6P General] mkouk:
Use sync.me and does the job fine
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Thanks that's what I used
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
It's actually the opposite. Kids don't use facebook these days, they use Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. It's the adults, parents, and grandparents that use facebook now.
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
Maybe where you are at. No one I know uses FB anymore. Except for the kids. The adults moved to G+. You will even find very few people here still use it for anything other then keeping tabs on their kids.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
So I'm out of touch with social media ?
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
Haha where do you live? I see zero people using Google+. Everyone here uses Facebook for sharing family photos and wishing their aunts a happy birthday.
[Nexus 6P General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Gotta be that granite dust is getting to you;)

I use both FB and G+. One for the old crowd and one for the new:good:

But Sense on my Google device
[Nexus 6P General] designgears:
Blinkfeed is just Flipboard anyways... not hard to replace :)
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
ITs not a matter of where I live but a matter of who people keep in contact with. If I want to wish a family member a happy birthday I will do it in a respectable manner like a phone call or in person. Family photos are not something I ever put on FB. G+ is more for the mature crowd really. Alot of people dont use it due to not having tons of stupid games (that leave back doors open to your account) Which is also the reason many people that I do deal with only use G+, no stupid game invites, no real virus filled posts. No need to keep going.

It all comes down to what you use it for I guess. The only people I know that use it are my kids and their friends. Many even stopped using whatsapp due to FB buying them out. Now you see a majority of users are from new developing countries like China and India.
[Nexus 6P General] grim489:
You could always install blinkfeed, there's a thread with a lot of HTC apps that can be installed on other phones.
[Nexus 6P General] Semantics:
Yeah, seriously lol. The only people on G+ are the people on XDA. The difference in numbers between G+ and Facebook would be staggering. Facebook only being used by kids. That darn well might be the stupidest thing I've ever read in my entire life.
[Nexus 6P General] Fraught:
Haha, I love how he says Facebook is only used by kids, implying a) there's no adults on Facebook, b) there's no demographical overlap between FB and G+ and c) he goes back and forth between "I am talking about the people I know, it isn't a universal truth" and "I don't know anyone who still uses FB so FB is only used by kids worldwide". Everything he's said is pretty hilariously ignorant and stupid.

Also, I don't know a SINGLE person who actively uses G+. Meanwhile, I don't know a single person who doesn't use FB, and I'm 21, so 95% of people on my FB are young adults (ranging from 17 - 29 in age). You have to be part of a very insular, very nerdy circle of friends to not have any of them use FB, and to have all of them use G+.

But uhh...yeah. I have CM12 on my M8 right now (waiting for the 6P to even come out here grumblegrumble) and never missed Blinkfeed. Google's stuff is more convenient and prettier.
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
You guys mistake me saying kids with how old someone is. Age means nothing. When I say kids im more talking mentality then age.

Nerdy? ok Ill agree to that. All my friends are gamers and tech geeks.

Now you guys can think what you want. FB is the myspace of this generation and most of the people I know only use G+, the rest dont use social networking at all.

Most of the people I know stopped using it when they were able to trace every virus they have ever had to facebook.

If you use it cool but understand there are those that dont use it.
[Nexus 6P General] Fraught:
Haha, thanks for replying so civilly. I actually really respect that.

And yeah, fair enough, different people have different people they associate with. Trust me, Facebook IS still a big deal to a lot of people, though, and wider adoption would only do Android good. I don't think blocking out any Facebook features is gonna do any smartphone brand good.
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
Oh I understand that it is still very big to alot of people.

If by brand you mean Google then I kinda agree. It's ruff when things don't work the way we think it should with linking different social networks together.

I know Google stopped supporting it when the tos for fb changed. Some oem have put it back into their distros and some have not.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cluey:
I picked one of these up second hand for a good deal but it's from China so no Google anything on stock ROM.

I followed the convoluted instructions to get back to 4.2.2 from this thread. Absolutely mind blowing that you've got to use a MITM program to flash a kdz file you've got on your HDD.

So now I'm back on the original 4.2.2 ROM what's my best way of rooting it so I can get a custom ROM on it. I have looked for an answer but as things have changed and most of you have been doing this for a while, upgrading things as you go, there is no Do this from stock post.

I tried the easy root from this thread which [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] suggested someone else try but it didn't work.

I'm not quite clear on if I need to do the original exploits using Loki like you originally had to or if I can go straight to a Bumped setup. So while the recovery thread by [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] looks like the right thread it assumes you already have root and a custom recovery already.

Looking at the available ROMs for this device I think I'd like to run the SlimRom LP SaberMod by [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] as I've heard very good things about that toolchain in the Moto G section.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cluey:
Replying to myself here.

I decided to try Towelroot as I was pretty sure 4.2.2 was susceptible to it and I was right.

Then I installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 via the flash program [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] mentioned in a different thread, (which I can't find now) [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool.

I didn't go for the 2.8.7.1 version as I'd read that was unofficial and using a different file system for something, as I wasn't 100% sure of what this meant I went with what I thought would work.

I've put the beta Marshmallow ROM on too and the tablet feels like a new device, SO much quicker than the stock one!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1pulpfiction:
This phone is locked and can not be unlocked.. I bought a phone on ebay plugged my Sim card in booted up and was prompted for an unlock code. I then called my service provider and he said he could not help with that but if I entered the wrong code in 10 times the phone would then ask for a puk Code. Well we completed this but it never asked for the PUK code. Instead, it gives me the message "This phone is locked and can not be unlocked"..

I have called the original service provider and the maker of the phone. AND WAS SENT TO AND FRO FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. I still have a locked network and "emergency calls only" at the bottom of the screen and "network locked" in the task bar. I found a website that gave me instructions to get to the screen where you can unlock the network by pressing 2945#*850# in the dialer which gives you 5 options;

Network unlock - where I get the same message again: this phone is locked and can not be unlocked

Service provider unlock - your phone is not personalized

Network SubSet- your phone is not personalized

Corporate- your phone is not personalized

SIM/USIM-your phone is not personalized

I really need help LG G3 850

Ps. when I called the original service provider and gave them the IMEI number she said the phone is clean and not blacklisted or any thing. Just FYI

[General Questions and Answers] fedcba098:
Hello,

Which android device has the best satellite GPS? Note: I am asking purely about the satellite-gps, not AGPS or anything else that doesn't depend purely on satellites in the sky.

Also, is there a website that lists which phones use which hardware GPS chips? Excluding software AGPS, this is entirely a hardware question. So if I can eliminate ****ty phones with known pure-gps problems, I can check the chip and eliminate a slew of other devices that won't serve as a useful alternative.

To clarify "best":

[a] high-availability (ie: always able to get a lock, even if it takes an hour)

fast lock time

[c] accuracy

In my case, I absolutely require [a], and I am far more interested in having than [c]. Inaccuracy within ~200m is fine.

Background: I'm looking for an old, small, used android device that I can pickup on ebay for bicycle touring. This phone will be rooted without gapps, running osmand with downloaded maps.

When traveling down a deserted road in, say, Cambodia, and I come to an unmarked fork in the road, I'd like to be able to [a] pedal ~200m down my best-guess of the fork boot this android device in airplane mode [c] quickly get my gps coordinates [d] see where I am on the map [e] determine if I took the correct fork.

Currently, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 (again, no AGPS). If I'm on a roof-top or in a field, I can sit, wait, and *never* get a GPS lock. Not only does it not get a lock, but the GPS Test and/or SatStat apps show that I can't see a single satellite. My guess is it's a hardware issue.

My searching online suggests that the S4 has *great* GPS lock-time, but it's hard to search & find reports from S4 users (or any phone for that matter) that don't use AGPS.

I'm thinking any phone that can run at least Android v3.0 = Honeycomb is fine. An older & lighter phone with a smaller screen is best. Of course, as long as it has a solid GPS chip ;)

TIA!

All i am focused on is to backup the original stock ROM that contains the stock recovery, and then rooting it to the way that i could get OTA updates if possible.

I've read many threads, but lately one of my friends suggested me to directly go to a website "www.kingroot.com" but i haven't done anything yet and i want to hear your advices and steps to be done first before rooting the device.

Hello everyone!

I've got my Sprint s4, unlocked it to use in Canada and flahed JFLTE-GPE. Since then i had no problems for half a year, but this autumnthe ROM got an update. It has lost all the personalisation and other stuff and moreover started rebooting randomly. I decided to switch to OCT-L, and the phone couldn't connect to the network. I tryed different settings and it either was written "Sprint" or "International" (at the network status). But also there was a setting at which it was rapidly changing from "Sprint" to my SIM card network. I flashed JFLTE-GPE back, but nothing changed except it didn't connect to my SIM card at all. I flashed OH1 modem (saw it somewhere on the forum) but it didnt give anything.

So I sent the same question for a third time and got the second gay again, this time he tried a bit harder and ended up sending me an email with steps, the final step being a factory reset which I was just about to do in bed and I decided to wait till the next day but decided to check for updates and low and behold the updates arrived!!!
