[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saulo866:
I own a Huawei Mate 7, with 64GB , purchased in China, I rooted it.

Model HUAWEI MT7-TL10.

I kept the original EMUI 3.0

1.

Does anybody know how to change desktop grid from default 5x4 to 6x5?

2.

I installed Nova Launcher and Nova Settings >but the Nova launcher is not retained. At each reboot the original EMUI takes over. Does anybody know how to make Nova Launcher the default launcher and makes it stable, retain after reboot?

Google New Launcher does not work either. It cannot even launch

Thank you

Saulo
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saulo866:
Additionally I would like to install the new Lollipop ROM, but run the Chinese version, and I am afraid I will loose both root and GAPPS if I upgrade to the suggested ROM from within the phone itself....

2.

Do I need the new TWRP? Or a special ROM?

Thanks

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] EnricoLH:
I bought my M4 Aqua Dual last Tuesday. Everything is fine, except of the front camera...

The front camera is really darker than the main one. I know it's normal (different focal etc..) but it takes pictures too dark to be appreciate, and the video are even worst.

I will attach 3 pics. The first one from the main camera. The other 2 from the front one.

Tell me what you think about that. I purchased my phone from Amazon FR, so they can easily replace that (even though I hope it's a SW problem).
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Hitman951:
I think its just the camera sensor is bad, mine is dark too.

Mine is dark, too. Looks like a vignette effect applied to everything. I think we can't do anything with it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gederickson:
Can you compare it with another phone?

because m4 main camera is always brighter than other phones, maybe that why you feel front camera darker
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] EnricoLH:
I compared to iPhone 6 (surely not a selfie phone). Sadly, iPhone front camera is MUCH lighter. So sad about that.... I mean, it's too much dark!!!

Awesome phone so far. I've had it about 2 weeks. This is the first real issue I've had:

When I try to play a video in a Google+ post I get "Can't Play Video". Embedded Youtube videos in Google+ work fine though. When I try to play a video in my Google Photos collection, I'll get "Video not found." and then a few seconds later, "Can't play video." The exception to this is videos that I've recorded with this phone and backed up to Google Photos. Those play fine but the phone can't play any of my older videos.

All the Google+ and Photos videos play fine from my old Android phone and my PC. Any ideas?

So far, I've tried clearing the app data and cache on Google+ and Google Photos. I also tried enabling Nu Player in Developer Options.

Edit: I just tried using Chrome instead of the Google Photos app and the videos played fine. For the Google+ videos, Chrome can't play them, but Firefox can.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Multitrak:
I discovered the same "can't play video" issue in G+ videos but YouTube ones play fine - I have reported this numerous times to Google and I also tried switching from awesome player to Nu Player in dev options - the only solution so far I've found is to go to Apps and uninstall G+ updates to the stock version - then they play perfectly again - I assume this is a glitch in the 5.0.2 lollipop version, so hopefully we get 5.1 ota or Marshmallow by Christmas as I've seen rumored, I have the carrier unlocked 6045i which I put my $30 a month Tmobile sim in.

I also noticed there seems to be no Minutes used section under mobile and whereas I can set the date range for billing in mobile data, I can't set the wifi usage date range, haven't tried any root yet as I'm hoping for ota to solve these minor bugs, otherwise love the phone also.

Sorry about the loss of your wife
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haibane:
Sorry to hear about your loss. It is possible you could simply just try to boot it into recovery mode. Have you put a custom recovery on there? IIRC, you can still access a device via ADB in recovery even if it isn't a custom recovery.

This should allow you to flash a new OS to the device and bypass the existing password. Maybe someone else can chime in and correct me if I am wrong. Sorry I haven't tried running without a custom recovery assuming you are.

If this was *my* wife, I think I'd have more important things to worry about than trying to break into her phone. I certainly wouldn't be using that as part of a story on the internet for breaking phone security.

OP: If you are NOT a scammer, then sorry to tell you that if you can't figure out the password, you can't gain access to the phone. HOWEVER, proof of purchase and copy of death certificate should be adequate for sending it back to factory for repair.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donmaikeru:
Okay, I'm in an odd situation.

I'm running a custom ROM and tried to flash an old .zip - long story short, got into a bootloop. Usually this wouldn't be a problem, I'd go into recovery with my hardware keys and just flash my ROM again.

But now that my volume keys are messed up and I haven't enabled developer debugging (to push adb commands), I'm not sure how else can I get into recovery.

Could someone please help? Is it possible for me to force developer debugging through some other method or can I get into recovery while I'm under bootloop, no volume keys, and without developer debugging?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Mike_SattyEng:
I ran into an unusual problem. From a powered off state, my tablet worked normal. However, when I locked it using the power button or with the Samsung book cover, then I unlocked it, I would occasionally find a dark area in the upper left corner (tablet oriented with button to the left). A simple restart cleared the problem. This would happen randomly.

Two days ago it got worse. When I lifted the cover or pressed the power button, with the tablet in standby mode, the screen would remain dark but the two soft buttons above and below the physical button would illuminate as normal.

The only way to get the tablet to work again was a to hold the power button down and force a hard reset. It would work fine until I locked it or the screen timed out and the OS turned off the screen. When I attempted to unlock it, I had the dark screen problem. Additionally, I also discovered that when I did a hard restart, the screen brightness would not change when I adjusted it with the software control.

Using a flashlight, I turned it on over the screen and discovered the problem was the screen backlight was not turning on so the screen was visible. However, because it was working after a hard reboot I knew it had to be a software or hardware problem and not a backlight failure.

During my troubleshooting I visited these two links:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-2014/340754-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-2014-screen-stays-black-but-audio-buttons-work.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moaGerOZ8CA

After reviewing the Youtube video I was able to use a plastic hotel room key to remove the Tablet's cover. I then removed and reseated the display ribbon cable. During the reinstall I ensured the cable was properly seated into the connector. I then powered on the tablet and locked and unlocked the tablet several time to ensure the backlight/black screen problem was resolved.

I hope this helps anyone else whom may have experienced a similar problem.

:)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Eyzi:
I think I've found the culprit. I had the same issue where the screen went black but removing the back reattaching the screen cable fixed it temporarily.

What I did to fix was go to "Lock screen" setting and set the "Lock automatically" to "immediately".

Ever since the issue has gone. It seems there's a software issue but god only knows.

I hope this solution works for others too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lecorbusier:
Had this a couple of times with stock roms. First time during the first or second reboot or power cycle, which worried me back then. Not with CM/LOS/RR, all from our David(P605).

The issue with the cables running across the battery is a real concern. I think it's caused by pressure on the back causing the cables to bend and work in the tiny gap between battery and cover, which immediately closes on slight pressure. A case with a stiff back should help, i never had such issues. One part which receives extra pressure is the battery connector, which can cause bad solder connections there.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j4rp0:
Hi! First of all, i know, there are hundreds of possible causes to battery drains: wakelocks, account sync, malicious apps (FB, Instagram...), but i've been researching and i have no clue about what is causing it.

I'm with Cataclysm (MM) and franco.kernel r34, have greenified almost all the aps, and limited permissions with app ops, however, tonight i've had a 20% battery loss, 40% of the time awake, and no wakelocks detected.

Maybe i'm freaking out because of nothing and 20% of battery loss is a usual thing, but i think it's not.

Here are some screenshots:

[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trance_nut:
Hi,

I have my Honor 6 (indian version) rooted on EMUI 2.3. Thought of upgrading to lollipop today.

Mistake: Did a factory reset on the rooted phone.

Then downloaded EMUI 2.3 stock image from here hihonor.in/support/downloads

After flashing this image the software version was b115. Then downloaded EMUI 3.0 from the same site and tried a local update.

Now, the phone does not update, it restarts and shows version as EMUI 2.3. I am unable to access stock recovery. My bootloader is unlocked and can fastboot and flash stock recovery image (extracted from b115 rom). The flashing shows a success but still cannot access stock recovery.

One more strange thing, after all this if I try to do a factory reset from the "Backup and reset" menu, it does not reset the phone. The phone restarts and boots back into EMUI 2.3 with nothing reset.

Please help/suggest what should I do
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisJ:
I've just had my official folio case delivered and it is really nice. A very snug fit, too snug... I can't get the damn thing off the phone. I'm terrified to apply any more pressure in case I damage the phone.

I'm on chat to Google as I type this and so far they have suggested sending the case back for replacement. Which is a bit tricky as it is stuck...

Update: It is being escalated but it looks likely that it will be an exchange for new phone and possibly a case. They are looking into whether the case design is too snug or not.

I ended up using one of those guitar pick type case openers. Thankfully there was no damage to the phone or the case. Once the case was off, I flexed it several times and this has made the plastic more flexible.

I have had the exact same problem! I felt like I was going to break the phone trying to remove it. I finally managed to remove the Nexus 6p Folio Case without damaging the case nor phone. I made a video showing how I did this. Hope it helps others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2-a6SkxSyE
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisJ:
Just watched your video, nice work. I had considered a hot air gun or hair drier to soften it but was concerned that in doing so that I might soften the adhesive used in the phone construction too and any flexing then applied trying to remove the case might weaken the structural integrity of the phone.

My phone now has clear damage where the case touches the phone near the power button. Fortunately Google have been great and they have refunded me the case and have arranged an exchange of phone.

A slight complication if that my SIM is stuck in the phone (trapped by the case). Fortunately, my network make swapping a SIM really easy and I have a spare non-allocated one available. It's likely going to be a pain for others in the same predicament though.

It's a real pity as, as you say in the video, the case is really nice. It just doesn't fit...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david31262:
Thanks so much for the video. I never would have gotten the case off without the help. I had heard there might be a problem, but already had the case. I initially didn't put in on all the way. But., wow, it's deceiving how easy it goes on vs how hard it is to get off.

There's really a problem with the design (at least the type of plastic used for the back).

For removal I....

I pulled the lower right corner as you showed. Then I bent it back and forth a few times (while holding the case to minimize stress on the phone -> being especially careful where the metal is thin around the pwr/volume buttons) to try and loosen it up..

Then I figured out that the more you pull the lower right, the tighter the lower left. So I put a folded plastic tab (from a hanging folder label) under the lower right and let it go back into position (but no lock around the 6P).

Then I used a cut off piece of plastic (from the same hanging label) to shimmy under the corner on the lower left (starting from the left side and pulling on the corner as I went). I was able to get the plastic wrapped far enough around the lower left corner to slide off the case (which got the whole bottom lose).

Wow, this is crazy for a $50 case. Maybe Google could send everyone some flexible plastic picks and some extra instructions for getting this thing off.

Now I'm considering weather to return it, or perhaps file down the lip on the lower left corner so it's easier to remove.

i also just received a Spigen Case (for a heck of a lot less money). It's seems fine, but of course doesn't cover the screen (my Naked N5 got scratched up when it slid from my coat pocket down the right side of the driver's seat -> then I got the Folio). Spigen: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016CBFBVI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

One more removal idea. Since the Lower Right is the easiest to get off, maybe slide the plastic under the lower left corner first. Then, slide another under the lower right. Then, try and get the bottom loose. (I haven't tried this yet).

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

Hmmm, since the lower left corner is tighter then the right, maybe it would be easier to slide the plastic under the lower left corner first, then slide another piece under the lower right corner, then slide off the bottom. Push it just enough to clear the bottom of the phone, then slide the phone down to avoid breaking the top/back of the case.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a99tandem:
I never could justify going with a folio case. They always just seemed to get in the way. I'm currently using the Speck CandyShell Grip, and there are no application/removal issues, and no screenshot issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbanners:
Argh! Same problem here. Am using quite a lot of pressure on the bottom right corner with both thumbs, but having no luck getting the Folio Case off my 6P. Am very reluctant to use any more force or a sharp implement for fear of causing any damage to the (very expensive) phone. Not an urgent problem as I'm basically happy with the case, but the ability to take the case off – albeit with a small bit of pressure – was something I took for granted.

The chap on the phone at Google Customer Service was very sympathetic, and said if I do cause any damage to either the case or phone, then not to worry – they'll be covered (sadly I couldn't leave any positive feedback for the Rep as the automated follow-up survey was in French...!) However, I think I'll wait until I do really need to take the cover off before trying with any more force.
