Playing around with the slowmo video and I noticed that during playback, the slow motion doesn't start until like 3-4 seconds into the video. Is this normal?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nnergia:
Hello to all,

I recently changed my rom to cyanogenmod 11 and my kernel to boeffla NG and I see a big difference on the graphics of my S3, my graphics went low and everything got sharper. I changed my GPUsettings several times but still I see no big difference like I used to have with my previous kernel.

Currently at Boeffla app my setting at gpu are:

GPU Frequencies are setted to default (160/266/350/440/533)

GPU Voltages: Undervolt Medium

Any idea to have smoothergraphics like i used to have ?

I just got into this kind of staff, like installing new roms / kernel / rooting / etc.

I solved it, at display+led tab it has an option about sharpness tweak status, this changed everything back to normal.
[Verizon LG G3] tmord1:
I noticed that since 5.1.1 or (sometime around it's release) when I download an apk or an update from playstore, I am shown a list of service, broadcast receiver, activities, etc. with toggles. I am not sure if this is a result of one of the apps I have installed (like cm security, my android tools, amplify) or if it is just a new policy on google play. Anyone else see this? Is there a guideline as to what if any can be toggled and why I should/ should not mess with it. I've been reluctant to mess with anything up until now b/c I am not sure what this is. Can anyone direct me to a guideline thread or shed some light on it for me? Thanks in advance.

I've included some pictures of what I'm describing from a recent Dolphin upgrade from playstore.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
someone can correct me if im wrong, but i believe i read somewhere thats some new features to help make users more aware of the permissions they agree to in more detail.

i dont recall it mentioning as in depth as the receivers, but it may have. for the most part, you really dont want to mess with those, otherwise the app could partially or completely stop working properly.

what you can and cant turn off is really going to be a case by case basis. i have tried doing some of that before, and tbh, its generally not worth the effort it takes to figure it all out. the battery gains are usually minimal to non existent. only thing some what useful is disabling the ad servers.

your really better off not touching any of those, unless you have a rogue issue you are trying to rectify.
[Verizon LG G3] surviveland:
Why not sending your screenshots to support@Dolphin.com for help? Seeking support from Dolphin is much more time saving.
[Verizon LG G3] tmord1:
That was just an example, it does that for all apps downloaded from Google play. Apparently, it is to disclose permissions required by apps more thoroughly. At the time that it I posted, it was a relatively new feature and I was wondering about it.

Hi Everyone.

I have rooted my phone. Installed xposed framework , oversharpening fix and changed high temperature and thermal mitigation in hidden settings. Yesterday left my phone on the table. Tomorrow at 12 o clock my friends told me that when we call you it says you are out of coverage area. I looked at the phone and tried to call somebody. There appeared this Emergency call only ! . I rebooted it was fixed. But due to this problem I missed an important call from work. My question is does rooting or installing xposed framework or changing hidden settings affect signal reception ? Please I ask everybody to answer. Thank you in advance ! Sorry for my bad English
[LG G Flex 2] le grande magnetto:
Hello. I'm new owner of GF2. :highfive:

I was wondering about removing google and some of the LG bloat. I'm used to just flashing custom ROM and not caring about few apps, but since this phone is LBL, it is not quite my style.

I searched GF2 subforums, but did not manage to find what I was looking for..

I'd like to know if it's possible to remove google apps. Do I need a root for it? Is it possible only to disable them?

Also, do you have any other GF2 specific tricks to share? Maybe how to utilize deep blacks in oled more often? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[LG G Flex 2] bgoker:
Yes you need root.
[LG G Flex 2] Mr.Nice.ba:

Those 8gigs you see there are the operative system of your GF2 and No, there is no way to delete it.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ryan stewart:
Those who have their phone know the cable on the fast charger is 1 meter, which is not long enough to reach any table youd ever have a plug next to.

I tried two different type C -> Type C cables and neither would fast charge with the included wall wart.

Anyone find a longer cable that fast charges with our plugs? 2 meters would be great.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
It's tough sledding hacking through all the different Amazon.com listings to get something with an actual USB 3.1 and 3A rating for a 2m cable. The ones I;ve seen are either out of stock, take forever to come from China or overpriced in the $25-30 range. Would love to hear from anyone that actually found one too.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jbrinkley:
I bought a type C to A from amazon for the computer and it charges rapidly on all my wall chargers down to 2.4 amp.

Monoprice was out, otherwise I would have ordered there. >>> http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13010

this is what I'm using, fast charges and mounts no problem.

http://tinyurl.com/oyahw4h amazon link

I would bet this will work. same brand as what I have, they have a real thick jacket on them. It's a good cord.

http://tinyurl.com/oyahw4h amazon link

edit, I just read the description on amazon for those cords

....Note for Nexus 5X/6P: In order to ensure FAST CHARGING, please ensure the charger can output 5V/3A. The cable can afford 3A current did not mean it can provide 3A. We recommend use Google official USB Type C charger with our USB C to C cable...
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
That monoprice page is goofy.. title lists it as USB 2.0 and then the description goes on to talk about USB 3.1
[Nexus 5X Accessories] br125:
Monoprice 2.0 six foot c to c cable charges just as fast as the 3 foot cable that came with the phone. High quality stuff. The phone doesn't support higher than 2.0 anyway.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
USB 2.0 refers to the data transmission standard and really nothing to do with charging amps. Although, to be USB 3.1 compliant, I think the cable needs to be fairly stout to handle the increased loads in both data speed and charging power. My guess is this cable is in fact 3.1, but someone made a mistake updating the title.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] br125:
I understand that. Monoprice's 2.0 c to c cable supports up to 3A. No point in spending almost double the price on the 3.1 cable..
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
What I am saying is that it is hard to even trust the 3A rating with the conflicting statements on 2.0 vs 3.1. Do you have the cable and have tested it? That would be different.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] br125:
Yes I do have the cable. Monoprice has that 3.1 description on all of their type c cables for some reason. The 2.0 3a cable works just fine.. I just went from 49% to 82% from when I went outside to winterize my boat and when I just went back in to check my phone, not sure how long that was, but a pretty short period of time. I usually put it on the charger when I turn on the TV at night and take it off when it hits 100% before I do to sleep.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] aiwapro:
I ordered this USB A to C one, http://.ebay.com/itm/261840366171 . The phone says Charging Rapidly. I have not done any data transfer with the computer, but upon plugging it in, the computer detected it ok. It ships from the US, but took a little while with standard shipping. Maybe almost a week;

OnePlus
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
It might say rapidly charging but I doubt it's as fast as the stock charger. I've used a USB-A to type C cable, got rapidly charging, but it was only max 1800 mAh as opposed to the 2800+ with the stock one.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Do0zman:
You're right but its still faster than not rapidly charging
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Not really. That's not even faster than a regular phone that on a 2.0A charger.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] landale:
I dunno about that. I have used a couple 2A Samsung USB chargers with type a to c cable and my phone charges almost as quickly as the stock charger at least in regards of empty to full. I think the difference between the stock and alternate high amp chargers that are around 2A is how quickly it can do a partial quick charge from say 0 to 50% but from 0 to 100% I haven't noticed much of a difference.

I am using this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013DAES3S
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
I got one of his cables to review... I got it to charge 2.2A + using a 2.4A charger. But I do think you are correct in that there probably isnt a 3A option with anything using USB TYPE-A. 3A seems to be the realm of pure USB TYPE-C.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] caseyweed:
I purchased this cable and it charges at the same rate as the short OEM cable supplied with the 5x.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] ryan stewart:
Thanks but unfortunately i got it and it didnt work, it just says charging with the stock charger. That sucks because otherwise its a great length and a really nice cable, guess I will have to return it.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] caseyweed:
That's really odd. Mine registered fast charging immediately. I tested with Ampere multiple times and received the exact same reading with both cables.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] crafty35a:
I also have one, and I don't think it's possible to get 3A through it. It's USB 2.0 only, which is a much thinner cable than the USB3.0/3.1 cables. I don't think any of those thiner USB2.0 cables will be able to charge the 5x at the maximum rate. The listing does claim to be able to support it, but I'm not sure I buy it.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
I got this one and although it isnt a long cable it still doesnt charge as fast as the OEM. I can get about 2.3A from it which is decent but still not as good as the 2.8A I have seen with the OEM cable.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01460683C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

One thing to consider though... after testing for a while, even the OEM cable fluctuates down to really low levels as the battery cools or something like that - it's my guess anyways. You will never see a steady 2.8A from the OEM set up either. It goes up and down... so the only real test IMO is to test a full charge from 10% and time it.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
Sure - but if I'm going to pay big bucks for a cable, I am going to first try and find a future proof USB type-C cable that is also 3.1, so that I can also use it with other products I might acquire down the road. If they just dont exist yet, then 2.0 is fine no doubt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] utmba95:
Unfortunately I have to use Airwatch with a password policy of 5 min, and my company bans rooted phones. Until recently, I could still use No Screen Off to keep the screen alive while in my car. These types of applications quit working recently. The developer option for "stay awake" is also grayed out. Did 5.1.1 break this or some other Google update? My Airwatch admin claims they didn't change anything and don't have a setting for this.

Google Maps can still keep the screen alive while navigating. Is this because the foreground application can keep the screen alive? I'm using Nova Launcher if that matters. I really don't want to switch to a car dock that only has 6 icons on the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Tasker maybe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] utmba95:
I am using tasker, but it needs Secure Settings & root access to do this. This is what I did on my previous phone until Airwatch. My main question is what changed? This worked fine until a week or two ago which may or may not correspond to when I updated 5.1.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] utmba95:
I did find a way using Tasker to get what I want. Tasker is the default car dock app, and I create a profile for Docked Any (car didn't work). This profile launches a task that merely sets Car Mode on. This causes Car Widget to launch which does the rest.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
I just got my new 6P and attached a tempered glass screen protector. I've never had a screen protector interfere with the proximity sensor but as soon as I do something like make a call, the screen goes black and won't power back on with the power button. Sometimes even after the phone call has ended, it'll make the lock and unlock sounds but the screen stays black. Anyone else?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joackie27:
You need to get a TGSP with the proximity sensor cutout. In the meantime, you can use the power button to end call (Settings -> Accessibility -> Power button ends call).

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
Yeah, I think something is wrong here. It responds to light but as soon as the phone call starts, pitch black, and even when I use the power button to kill the call, I still have to push it one more time for the lock sound, and then again for it to unlock. A master reset might be in order. It did update as soon as I pulled it out of the box. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to restore it and just started fresh.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akwally1:
So I'm having the same issue with my 6P, but before I remove my beautifully applied screen protector, I'd like to be sure that removing it fixes the issue. There's a Google groups thread that is saying the issue is software-based and that phones without a screen protector that have upgraded to Marshmallow (Nexus 5, Nexus 6) are still having the issues.

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/oqh-V37hgDM

So has anyone who has been having this issue successfully resolved it by either getting a new screen protector that has the cutouts or removing the screen protector altogether?

I also noticed when I'm on the calls if I move the phone away from my ear, the screen doesn't light up, I have to press power button.
