I ported my T- mobile cell number to Fi and it only took around 2 hours and full texting in 3 hours.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medloh:
I'm in a different kind of hell. My AT&T contract doesn't run out until Nov 20th. They wanted an extra $95 to break the contract and let me transfer my current number to my new phone (6P). So I decided I'd just get a new number for now. I had to call a Fi rep, and explain that I had originally signed up for a number transfer, and he was able to get me a new number right away.

I might call google after the 20th and see if they can get that number back from AT&T for a small fee.

you may want to port your number to a cheep pre-pay just to save it until you can port it to Fi.

yeah, it was fast, vary fast and it was kinda cool to. I had my T- mobile sims card in my N5 and my new Fi sims in my 6P. The phone number came over first and then I was texting on my N5 and for about 5 minutes I was getting text on both phones and then only the 6P. Fi has been great for me, I can now get LTE in places that I couldn’t get with just T-Mobile.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medloh:
I can't. AT&T would charge me $95 for early termination if I did. That number is theirs until my contract ends on Nov 20, then they 'recycle' it, or so I was told by them over the phone.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Is it possible to double tap the screen to wake up the phone and then hold your thumb or finger over the power button to unlock the phone?

I have been burned by power buttons that have worn out over time on too many devices. I love my G2s ability to double tap and wake the screen. I hit the power button maybe once every few months.

So before buying this phone, I just want to make sure I can avoid using the power button except for once in a while.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapiollymega:
a power button should not be failing in normal use.... what phones have you had that cause you to have this paranoia.

Yes, you can double tap to wake the screen then touch the fingerprint and the device will be unlocked.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0080:
This is what I do, when tap to wake actually works. Seems a little flakey with the latest update during deep sleep. Sometimes take a lot more than two taps, then other times its quick. Same with fingerprint reader, I found my thumb works best or else Im frequently pressing it a few times to where I just give up and enter my pin lol. I also use Nova launcher which lets you assign a double tap gesture to lock the screen which you can then use any app from the play store that will blank the screen and lock.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stu83:
Not the OP, but my 22 month old Z1 Compact recently developed a faulty power button. Fortunately it was just under warranty still, so got repaired for free. The power button on my Nexus 4 also became faulty after a couple years use. Apparently a fairly familiar issue, quick fix was to slide a bit of paper in the button mechanism. My new shiny Z5C has just arrived and don't want the same thing happening again, so going to try out touch-to-wake.

Drop down menu press edit and a "Screen Mirror" icon should be available
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarrenHill:
I've not been able to get the "Screen Mirror" icon to work either with any of my devices (a Raspberry Pi running Kodi, a Sumvision Cyclone Micro 4 or an iPush HDMI dongle) but what has worked with all three is by using the "Quick Connect" function that you can activate just below the quick settings panel, and then selecting the relevant device on the same network.

You then either get options for mirroring or streaming movies/audio/pictures to the device, depending on what they allow (the Sumvision can support mirroring via Miracast receiver mode, the other two only stream although not an issue in my case as it was basically playing a movie on the TV that I was after doing anyway).

So i've been bouncing around here after recently getting my 6p in the mail, and it seems like some are wary of rooting until the marshmallow source drops. Should I hold off on root until such a time?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kozad:
I received my 6P yesterday, and by this morning I dropped it into a UPS box to send it back.

So, I got the 64GB aluminum version, it arrived a day after I placed my order. I set it up and let it install its OS update, which took forever, then I started to use it. Right away I noticed that the top speaker seemed louder than the bottom speaker when the phone was playing notification sounds. In two phone calls, people complained that it sounded like I was underwater or had them on speakerphone.

I was a little concerned by the speaker issue, so I took the time to play back audio from NPR and then tried a few videos. While playing back video, I flipped the phone this way and that, and moved the phone back and forth from ear to ear just to make sure I wasn't deaf in one ear. The top speaker was definitely much louder than the other. With the mic being housed with the bottom speaker, I'm lead to believe both issues are related.

I contacted customer support and the lady who took my call said that another user had called with the same issue, but she couldn't recall which model they had. She had spoken with the design team about this and they said it was a defect, that both speakers should be firing at the same volume level.

We did the mandatory factory reset and I fired up YouTube - then I moved my old phone back and forth over the speakers of the 6P and she could hear the difference too, so I ended up mailing it back for a refund - I plan to buy another, but an exchange would entail a $549 hold on my bank account, so a refund it is.

So, that said, I'm curious - has anyone else had this issue? I searched the web but didn't find anything, but I've tweeted to some people who were opening new devices and one of them said he felt the top speaker was louder on his unit too (I didn't say which speaker, I just asked if one was louder than the other), while another person said she'd follow up.

Oh dear... I wouldn't have minded it if it was just a tad louder, but it was bad - plus I was having some speaker overdrive issues as well. I guess I'll wait for Google to process my refund and keep an eye on these threads before deciding if I want to take the risk again... Which sucks, because I was loving the phone. Hell, I picked this over a Lumia 950 XL because I wanted to use some half decent apps and have access to Tap to Pay. Sure, Android still waits forever for iOS apps, but Windows waits for never. -_-

Does any one know of a theft alarm that will give a warning when my mobile is away from the receiver (in my pocket) more than a certain distance? Maybe built on RFID technology or blue tooth?
[General Topics] cktlcmd:
Your question made me imagine a phone tied by a piece of string to one of your pockets, so if someone jerks it out without you noticing, it would also jerk your pants. :) ;) lol :) ;)
[General Topics] hatamata:
:) :) that would be the simplest solution; still, I prefer technology, a very tiny transmitter hidden in the mobile, preferably a passive RFID tag so it will not contain a battery which then will be paired to a receiver that can only detect this tag. If the mobile is out of range, a buzzer and vibrating alarm is activated in the receiver.

I know that this seems possible, however, current RFID readers are priced in Ks of $, and this will not make it feasible for every one to buy it.

There are some alarms in the market with the same idea but built on different technology, their problem is that the transmitter is noticeable and the thief can simply remove them the moment he picks the mobile.

ok so you are running late for work and forget to put the non mobile side of the detector on your person one morning, you get part of the way out the door up the street and your phone starts buzzing and beeping like crazy.... run back to pick up the chip???

yeah if you really want this that bad string sounds good.
[General Topics] CameoTabby:
Also, if the phone slip of your hand, the string will prevent it from drop to the floor. Not a bad idea, expecially you get two protections for the price of one.
[General Topics] Ribdool:
If you carved some gooves into the side of the phone you could make a yoyo too.

come on guys, where I live, 3 out of 5 mobile owners had their mobiles theft at least once, if we use the string alarm, I imagine every one walking down the street is screaming out of pain because a thief tried to steal his mobile and had to let go when he found it stringed, this sudden release hearts I think :)
[General Topics] st3v3:
phones are considered disposable technology these days, i remember a few years back when insurance companies in australia use to offer insurance on phone theft but no one really bothered with it much.

if someone wants my phone badly enough to try and take it from my pocket i garentee there will be some sort of weapon involved and they will want my wallet and keys too and that being the case they can have it.

also considering that most people are aware that a phone can be tracked via the cell network who would buy it? its not like you will pay $50 down the pub for it knowing that someone would have reported it stolen and ur average thief aint smart enough to know how to change the IMEI number nor would anyone who is stupid enough to buy a $50 phone at a pub with half a string attached to it (LMAO)
[General Topics] cktlcmd:
Obviously you have not been on any poor parts of the world, based on your opinion. But in reality, there are parts of the world where cell phones don't have insurance, and they do sell it on the nearby pub, and people actually will buy them believe it or not. Just my observation.

[General Topics] hatamata:
where I live, it is exactly as what cktlcmd described, a phone may cost the salary of several months to some people, police can not track all of them and they get stolen only when you loose your attention for one moment (it takes less than 30 seconds of not paying attention to loose your mobile as per statistics), so may be a theft alarm does not sound feasible where st3v3 lives, but here, it sure is. Besides, loosing the data and having someone looking at your personal data is what hearts more.

As for Menneisyys's back up idea, it sure will save most data but not all of it, still, it will not prevent others from seeing my sensitive data stored on the phone.
[General Topics] hanmin:
I know that there are countries where a phone cost a few months of salary.. but I'm pretty sure that in those countries, there are always cheaper alternatives. E.g. India's gazillion-aire may buy an A380 as private jet.. build a tower as his own house.. but they do have pretty cheap cars (as I heard, £1,000+). Hence, I don't really understand when people are willing to spend several month of salary on a phone. If that's the case, then probably that's a risk they have to take. E.g., you don't get a convertible car in China unless you are prepared to hire body guards.

AND, if that phone is going to cost the person buying the phone x months of salary, I would think it would cost y (where y > x) months of salary for the person who is stealing it, and some beeping gadgets will not do the job. The beeping gadget will probably make a `theft` to a `robbery`, I think.

Anyway, cute beeping gadget .
