:good: , Admittedly yesterday wasn't my best day and i apologise for that. I've had to deal with a tonne of trolls on XDA who would literally just make an account to bash a phone they themselves weren't using.

I do think there's a fair bit of fear mongering going on here though, " reputable " sites are pulling news from a few users on Reddit and just running to the hills with it, which is ridiculous in my opinion.

I recall a similar trend with the Nexus 4 glass back cracking , yet here i am with a Nexus 4 that's used every day without a case and no cracks

Anyone who has handled this phone knows its anything but " cheap ". This guy https://plus.google.com/115751916592440544868/posts/CBj7kHUSYcE dropped his twice without a scratch. As always with dropping phones , dents , scratches, its just luck of the draw.

No offence to you either but when people start to pull out degrees and such , its usually a lie or fabrication. I personally don't think listing our qualifications is a great way to start a post, but again that's just me.

Lets let bygones be bygones and move on :good::cowboy::)

same issue

I'm suffering the exact same problem, starting to kick off support with Google UK, are you able to tell me how much further down the line you are? I haven't damaged my phone but I can't get the phone out the case and need to do a sim swap.
[Nexus 6P General] ChrisJ:
Google have issued a refund for the case and processed an exchange for the phone. That should hopefully ship later today.

I'm just going to leave the case on the phone to send it back and do a SIM swap. It's dead easy with Giffgaff.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Innovator:
Hi,

Nice idea by planeta : USPL working through bootloader :)

Would fix every bricked phone, but not possible says the creator POF.

So short : bricked CID locked phones only re-flashable with original rom!

I saw for the wizard there is a CID unlock tool (see Wizard forum) and for some devices even 'unbrick tools'. A pity that we cannot do anything more with our bricked CID locked P3300, but waiting for the P3300 original dutch rom.

I wonder if you can unlock phone with imei check when your phone is allready bricked? If any other 'unbrick' solutions, please let me know, but i don't hope for it anymore

Cheers,

Innovator

I think that is the solution for some bricked phones after updates with locked CID.

Sorry but not possible, it first transfers patched SPL through activesync and places it on phone memory, and needs WinCE for that. If you already have a brick that tool will not help you. POF.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd-:
So I'm on my 2nd day of owning my 6P, and it rebooted without prompting at some point when it was in my pocket. After entering my PIN it just sits there on the animated Google logo, getting pretty hot but never making it past the boot screen.

I'm planning on trying a factory reset and seeing if it happens again since I was going to unlock the bootloader anyway, but I fear I've hit a hardware issue. Anyone seen this before?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mndl632:
i've had the same thing happen to me although this was after i restarted the phone. Been stuck on the animation part of the boot screen for a while now, wiping cache hasn't helped. Don't really want to do a factory wipe as I have a lot of stuff on the phone I need to backup first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rino757:
I guess just stuff regarding roots, mods, and upgrades, along with potential tips to increase performance is what I'm looking for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Agent5150:
I would not recommend S5 or S5 Active. I was using S4 and was very happy with it. S5 is a POS with Android 5.1.1. My S5 is fully stock and not rooted due to work related security that demands encrypted device. It lags very badly, battery consumption is poor with all power saver turned on.

If this post offends any S5 fans, I apologize. But I am a long time android user and have used multiple brands of android phones and compared to all others I have used, S5 being a flagship model is a POS, a rip off, and I will never ever use another Samsung. I have switched back to my old S4 and with 5.1.1, encryption and same work related software, it runs smooth and old battery lasts full day.

My S5 is now on Ebay .. I will be buying OnePlus 2 once S5 is sold.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] radon222:
I'm going to bump this thread and get in to hear other opinions too. I'm looking to update my personal phone (OG Note) to something newer. I have a work phone that's my daily carry and workhorse (Droid Turbo). I'm looking at the S5/S6 Active's for use on my motorcycle, around the pool for tunes and other playtime activities.

Right now the S6 Active's are going for approx. twice $$ that the S5's are on Swappa and I'm not sure if its worth the extra dough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] steve9271:
I would get the Moto X Pure. At least it is unlockable, the S5 is locked down tight. I want to sell my month old S5 and get a Moto X Pure. Just my .02
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] radon222:
That's even more expensive than a Swappa S6 Active. Because you know I would HAVE to get the 64gb if I was going to build one :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] steve9271:
But at Least with the Moto you can add an SD card and root/unlock. I might be putting my S5 on swappa soon.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] LAURCORE:
Toast is laser cut and handcrafted from sustainably grown, North American hardwoods, back by high grade adhesives from 3M. The hardwood veneers used are just shy of 1mm in thickness, so they add protection, grip, and gorgeousness, while retaining the sleek profile of the device. Easy to apply and remove, Toast will never harm your device, nor will it leave behind any permanent residue. Get a design or custom text "Toasted" (laser burned) into your cover for only $5. We'll even work with you to create a custom cover with your own design; just upload an image file and tell us how you'd like it laid out in the order instructions. Our customs designer will email you a rendering and work with you to get it all dialed in prior to sending it back to production for crafting.

We've been doing this for almost 4 years, and still the only ones wrapping devices in 100% wood. No plastic, no bull****; just real wood and leathery goodness, handcrafted with love in the USA.

Thanks for checking us out, and please let me know if you have any questions!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] k.s.deviate:
Very cool idea, only concern I can think of would be the wood covers in humid climates. I will be looking into this further tho. Thank you.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] LAURCORE:
Our 3M adhesives are amazing, and we actually use different ones depending on the materials of the actual device. We've been shipping internationally since day one, and to some of the most humid climates in the world. Rest assured, it will never be an issue.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Dwayne01:
Website?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
I have some concerns about this skins. As you said the adhesive is different and I saw that for removing it we should use a hair dryer. Back plate of the N5X looks like a little bit naive. May you guarantee that this skin won't damage N5X's back if I want to remove it?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
Sounds interesting! Please post some pics when you have the 5X version ready! Send one to me if you want an honest review as well!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] dpwhitty11:
I too would love to be able to review one of these skins... I dropped you a pm about that last night, op.

I had never heard of Toast until last night, and I spent a good 2 hours on youtube checking out all the phones that it has been made for with all of the colors and optional patterns & etching. Extremely neat stuff.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] GatorsUF:
Safe to assume the 6P is soon to follow? Any chance of leather for both devices? Inlay? Custom etching?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] LAURCORE:
Sorry, I'm a n00b on here so I can't post links just yet. T Mod Edit link removed
[Nexus 5X Accessories] LAURCORE:
We're getting the 6P all dialed in right now, and we'll commence Toasting next week. I'll be sure to let you know when they're up on the site.

Both 5X & 6P are part of the Inlay Series as well, and we offer custom etching on everything.

As for leather, we determined that it's going to take a lot of design work on these guys, so we're holding off until more requests start coming in. I've added you to the list, and I'll be sure to keep ya updated! :)

Here is the direct link: http://www.toastmade.com/products/nexus-5x.html

Looks pretty cool!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] LAURCORE:
Hitting the cover with a little heat from a hair dryer will help release the adhesive and it will come off with ease. If you do not do the hair dryer trick, there may be a little bit of adhesive left on the device, but you can literally roll it off with your fingertip. Rest assured, the OEM back will be exactly as it was prior to Toasting. We've covered countless devices without issue, however we would gladly replace your phone if it's damaged in the removal process.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] LAURCORE:
Thanks, minnemike! :highfive:

We're shooting the other woods right now, so we'll have images with front covers and etchings up later this afternoon!

Please shoot an email to pr@toastmade.com and let them know you're interested in reviewing the 5X! If you have a review site, youtube channel, etc., please reference that as well.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
Thank you so much... but alas I really do not have any formal review site or channel. Maybe in the near future though, so maybe I can take you up on it for future iterations. My reviews would be pretty much limited to a few message boards such as this one.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
Thank you for your quick response. I also want to be informed about durability. But I need an honest and objective response. It's wood so how durable is this skin? I don't mean protection.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] LAURCORE:
Check this out: http://imgur.com/gallery/NNd7jIt/new

Toast is built to last, and it ages gracefully. We use high quality hardwoods that receive 3 coats of a hand rubbed finish to protect from the elements. If it takes a hard hit, the wood may show a little scuff or scratch, but it looks natural. You can also apply a tiny amount of olive oil and it'll blend right in, but I personally prefer the worn look.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] minnemike:
At least for me, durability, as far as cosmetic looks go, wouldnt be an issue. I love the look of aged wood. Love the idea of making my phone look like something carved from an ancient forest, transported back in time and now just rediscovered. ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adobrakic:
Hello. I'm on 4.4.2, using Trent's ROM.

I'm having an issue where I can connect to WiFi, but no new networks show up after scans. I've been told here to flash "toltevzw_mj9_official_firmware.tar," but I have two issues: (1) I realized that I'm a dumb ass and posted on the wrong thread (that's not Trent's ROM), and am thus worried that the fix wouldn't work on Trent's ROM; (2) I can't find a working link of that .tar file.

I don't mind continuing to look for the file, but is flashing that likely to fix my issue, even on a different ROM? On Alliance, scanning for WiFi networks worked just fine.

rephrase: stupid --> inconvenient

I keep my tablet in it's case in easel mode 90% of the time, and watch hours and hours of youtube, so I need to be able to charge the device while I'm using it. So I end up with the tablet upside down to allow that, which then puts the volume and power buttons on the bottom. Very inconvenient. Is there a valid purpose for it being there that I am just not seeing? My hubby's tablet has it on the side, which just seems to make more sense. I'm curious...do you use your tablet differently, making it not an issue for you?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] the Doctor:
I'm just not annoyed by having the power button and volume rocker on the bottom when I have to plug it in. Every Android device I've owned has had the USB port on the bottom.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] afdish:
Due to YouTube videos having such a huge range of volume difference from one video to the next, I am constantly adjusting the volume. I can see if I mainly listened to music or audiobooks, then it wouldn't be such an issue. I've even looked for a nice low profile 90 degree usb cable connection that would allow me to have the power plugged in with the tablet right side up. No luck so far. I've even thought about building a stand/platform combo with a recess in the right place to give the usb cable a space to reside.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] shakatu:
I agree, and had the same problem with the Galaxy Tab 2. However, that one used a proprietary cable... This might not be a perfect solution either, but at least for this tablet you can buy a different usb cable with a right angle connection that would be less obtrusive in the case...

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] badlogicgames:
Can't help with a phone call, but the number one pain point in Android development is the build tool chain. Working together with Gradle Inc. and the Android folks to improve this would go a long way to eleviate the pain. The worst part atm are build times and the lack of proper incremental tooling.

Another pain point is Java 8 compatibility. There's retrolambda giving us lambdas (and limited default methods), but all the Java 8 APIs are missing. I understand if MS doesn't want to touch that topic though :)

You already did quite a nice job on emulator performance with your custom emu in Visual Studio :)

I have a galaxy nexus on verizon network. I thought it was a verizon phone so I tried to install toro roms, but would get the error "not a toro device". Found out my device is a toroplus. I install toroplus roms but unable to connect to network. I have been using the phone on my verizon account for about a month before I decided to root the phone. I have tried setting a verizon apn and have tried the different verizon apn shown on the device no luck.

Are you sure you just didn't install a toroplus recovery on a toro? Getting a toroplus activated on Verizon is no small feat. If your phone has a removable SIM card, it's a toro.

Hello Everyone. I have a strange problem.

I've had my wing for about a month now, and honestly I really do like it. It's been nice. There are some issues here and there, but I'm confident that once some good cooked roms start coming out, they'll be resolved.

The big problem right now though is WeatherPanel. It's been working great for the entire time i've had my wing - and suddenly, about two days ago, it just STOPPED updating weather.

I can still search for cities in WeatherPanel, and I can connect to the web via I.E., but no updates. running Diagnostics in WeatherPanel yields a text file with the following:

I went into HBOOT and attempted a recovery and it did nothing! Then I tried factory reset and it just freezes. Doesn't give me any prompts or proceed in any way.
