Fellow XDAers,

Some of you may already be aware of my Google Sheet with recommended USB Type C accessories (cables, adapters, power banks, chargers) and other N5X/N6P accessories (screen protectors, skins, cases). I created this as a source of information on USB Type C cables based upon Benson Leung's reviews (Google Pixel Engineer). This spreadsheet has morphed over time based on user feedback and input. I am actively maintaining this sheet with the latest information on USB Type C products and enhancements have been made to also include other types of accessories. Community input is extremely valuable and I would love to hear your comments on the sheet. Please let me know if you come across any products I have not included on the sheet or if information is inaccurate.

I will continue to maintain this sheet and post updates on XDA, my blog, and reddit.com/r/nexus6p and reddit.com/r/nexus5x.

why do you have skintomi's cutouts as bad? they were revised a month ago like all of the other mfrs and are perfectly fine
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bmcclure937:
Thanks for the heads-up! This is exactly why I created this thread. I received some reports of bad cutouts so I updated a while back but I was not aware of the newer revision.

Appreciate it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thacounty:
This needs a sticky. The spreadsheet is extremely valuable for a new or existing Nexus 5X/6P owner.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
First of all there are already 2 dedicated OP's with this spreadsheet inside of them. There is no need to create an additional one with just the sheet. We should all know this by now, but if a MOD wants to sticky just the sheet that's fine, but again we don't need 1000000 OP's for the same exact thing.

This is his sheet. He's posting it so people can comment if something is incorrect and he'll fix it or add to it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I reported this OP and recommended that either the spreadsheet gets a "sticky" or one of the OP's containing it. I just don't think it's helpful seeing a ton of these OP's when it could be streamlined so people can get the information they need faster without added confusion. I hope one of these OP's or the spreadsheet gets pinned up top so we can avoid seeing so many OP's discussing the same thing.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thacounty:
I don't disagree, I just think since it's his sheet, this should be the main thread.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
We will see what the MOD's do. I just hope they reduce the unnecessary OP's so we stop confusing people. I still believe that the sheet should be pinned or "stickied" in some manner as I stated so lets see what happens :D
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bmcclure937:
Thanks for your input. I appreciate you raising this idea to the mods. I would love to have this stickied as I feel it is a great resource to the community. More importantly, I created this thread on XDA so I could get community input and feedback on the Google Sheet.

Over time, new products are added/removed/updated and it is difficult to keep up with all of the products. I keep up with forums, product reviews, my own reviews, etc. Having other eyes checking for mistakes is great but it is also good to hear new ideas from the community. The feedback I have received on reddit has been very beneficial so I was hoping to extend that to XDA!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I agree, that's why I flagged it so in some way or another the spreadsheet/ Type-C OP's in general can make their way to becoming 'stickied' I will try to recommend that this gets 'stickied' again if for some reason it falls through.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] moorcupcake:
thanks OP, i found this very useful

The whole type c to type c is a pain because you cant even use the supplier in box cable to charge your phone via a laptop or usb car charger so these cables are essential

great work
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Just received my Aukey charger from amazon using with Google USB A to C cable ...

Does not display charging rapidly

Any ideas ?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thacounty:
You should not be seeing rapid charging using an A to C Cable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Then why are we recomending this charger ?

So we need a C to C Cable to Achieve Rapid charging ?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thacounty:
Because it understands how much current it can allow instead of allowing 3A when it's rated for 2.0 and breaking or causing a house fire.

As of right now, correct. You will need C to C for rapid charging. USB A was never meant to allow 5V at 3A. I think A maxes at 2.4A.

Any info about this TechNet cable?

I ordered below cable 2 weeks ago, didn't get it yet, but wanted to find out if it is a good cable to use. The title of the item has been updated and it says that the cable complies with USB Type C specification Release 1.1

I will of course do some of my own tests once I get it, but it would be good if it would be tested by Google.

Have not tried this one but I do not think it passed a CheckR that someone posted on G+. Let me know what you find when you get the cable.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Xyberz:
Okay, I've searched, sifted through a boatload of possible threads relating to mine and still haven't found a resolution to my problem.

My Wi-Fi doesn't connect to my wi-fi router at home. My laptop connects perfectly fine without any hiccups. I've gotten the wi-fi to connect to our local Apple Store's wi-fi network to access the internet.

I double checked the password like a hundred times, disabled to proxy, and made sure the network is connecting to the internet and not on the my work settings.

I'm still using WM5 and not sure if it's an issue with the OS or not.

Please someone lend a helping hand. I've spent many hours researching this problem and still nothing.

Note: I did get it to connect only once when I first got last week and it didn't work again after I left the house. I've master reseted the damn thing over 5 times just to make sure.

:confused: :confused: :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sprice82:
1.Erase the settings for your home network out of your phone 2. Remove the security from your router and try connecting again

If that does not work hard reset the router again and try to connectthrough its default settings (make sure their are no saved wifi networks in your phone)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Xyberz:
I've tried your method. The first didn't work.

The second method worked. I had to hard reset my router and try again and it finally worked even with my password. I also master reset my phone prior to hard resetting my router.

Thanks for the info. Would you happen to know why it might have done that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sprice82:
It might have bveen the security settings on the router or your router was just blocking it all together...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Xyberz:
This sucks. It eventually keeps doing the same thing again and again. When I leave my house and try to reconnect later when I get home, WHAM! No connections. It can find my router and says it's available but when it tries to connect, it can't. I don't know what the hell is wrong.

I've master resetted both my phone and router and started all over from scratch. :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] badbert:
On my Linksys router i use no security protocols. i use MAC address filtering instead. If the router does not have your mac address you can not connect. Drives the neighborhood war-drivers crazy!! It says unsecured, but they can not connect no matter what they try!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] guesserit:
me neither

Since I installed wm6, my wifi will connect to my network but apps like internet explorer won't load a page , it just stays stuck on : "locating...."

any idea?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Xyberz:
Me 2, same thing. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sprice82:
Go to the settings for wifi and go to "Configure Network adapters" and make sure the all say the "The internet" and not "work"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Xyberz:
That's the first thing i did buddy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sprice82:
I am not really sure what it could be then, when I intaslled the official cingular wm6 Rom it was doing the same thing then I did a hard reset and when it was installing the extended Rom I did a soft reset and that fixed it, but then again I hyad to manually put all the settings in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Vomithaus:
You might want to check if your really connected... If I start mine out about 1 inch from the router and get connected, I can walk all over the house and it will show connected (even updates the signal strength). However...IE will just keep saying 'locating' like yours. This is because it cannot reach the wifi base with it's buggered up transmitter. I don't think there is a cure for this.... Ikeep looking though...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Xyberz:
How do you do that and find the mac address on the 8525? I'm using Black Majik's cooked rom so it may be different from the original WM5.

Also an update on hooking to my router. I disconnected my router and cable modem and left it off for about 3 minutes. I then plugged it back in and let both reset. I connected afterwards and it works fine. Don't know what will happen later on when I leave and it disconnects.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] darkcyber20:
Is there anyway to get the Gear 1 to work with the Nexus 6P? So far, I have been unable to achieve this? I was running Tizen on my Gear 1 and after the battery completely was dying and would not hold a charge for more than a few minutes Samsung repaired it under warranty and of course flashed the stock original firmware back on it. So, does Tizen work with the Nexus 6P or is it all in Gear Manager? Gear Manager simply doesn't connect. I can pair my Gear 1 to the Nexus 6P but Gear Manager seems to be the hang up.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MegaStali:
try null rom

Any luck on this? I have a Gear 1 and a Nexus 6P. I downgraded the Gear from Tizen back to android. Looking for a way to use the Gear 1 with my Nexus 6p. Would appreciate any help.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcyber20:
I'm setting up my Nexus 6P and see this option that says I can transfer stuff from my old android to my new one but when I open Google App and go to settings I cannot find anything called "search for nearby device"...where is it? Also, is this feature in just Lollipop and higher?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
I believe it is only available on Lollipop and Marshmallow, and might only be part of the initial setup of the phone. I don't know if you can invoke it manually.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casyis:
It's at the bottom of Google app settings.

Edit: Correction - go to Settings>Google, and it's near the bottom.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:
Settings, Google, Set up nearby device
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcyber20:
Well, if it is only in Lollipop and above that would explain why I can't find it on my Note 3 running Biggins final KitKat release then :( Oh well, I just backed everything up with Titanium Backup and transferred that to my Nexus 6P and retrieved my stuff from there. Thanks all!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VALYYYY:
You know that if you turn on Location Toggle, was default on GPS only, once is enabled, will ask if you want to switch on High Accuracy (GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks) and you could tick to "not ask me again", than will be default on High Accuracy. I checked that and now, is automatically on High Location Accuracy, but do not want it. Does anyone know how I get back to the GPS Only by default?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nofearek9:
have same problem with cyanmode 12.1 on tab 2 7.0 .

if i go to settings,turn on and location services select the option device only ,leave it on,close the settings windows and then if i use the shortcut menu from the top screen ,disabling/enabling the location,it will stay gps only

BUT if i shutoff the device again the same problem....

Hi,

just wondering if someone tried to build a custom rom for this specific device..

I tried searching a lot on the internet but didn't find anything usefull till now, maybe I missed something or due to the fact this device is partially unkown, maybe who knows preferred to keep it for itself.

So please, do someone know anything about it?

It's the support for this wonderfull tablet really ended?

[General Topics] G4 Man2:
Nitpicking a bit here, but you can't edit install-build-deps-android.sh until you gclient sync because you have nothing to alter :p also you have to cd src before building. Maybe this will clear things up for some noobs.
[General Topics] danieldmm:
And don't forget you need also play services before runhooks ;)

install-build-deps-android.sh should install that. It did that for me.

Just installed it from XDA Labs.

Question: how can I login to my Google account and get sync?
[General Topics] ZeroX7C:
The official version of SWE from the CAF repository has removed Google account sign-in. You'll need to go to accounts.google.com and sign-in again.

I didn't add it because I wanted the build to be completely original and synced with the CAF repo. If you want Google sign-in I believe you can try JSwarts's browser, it's also on XDA Labs.

Hey been using the browser for a couple days but i run into a problem where if the browser sits idle for a bit and I go to use it, I cant click the address bar and type so I end up having to kill the app to get it to work again. I'm on nexus 6 btw
[General Topics] ZeroX7C:
I don't get that problem though, is there a specific website that experiences this problem?
[General Topics] gatorz77:
No just through regular use of the browser.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraizel:
Hi,

I bought the k1 and rooted it using your tutorials but as I record gameplay to youtube I get the nasty black sides as the native resolution is 1920x1200 I have tried to change it using some apps on google playstore but without sucess it messes up with the controls and the whole system gets messed up.

So as I new to android devices user (ex-iOS :D) user I migrated to android but the screen resolution is bugging me is there a way to chage it to native youtube videos 1920x1080?

Thanks

And if you asked I tried different recording softwares and they all fall into de same problem
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil_Sephiroth:
Native resolution is the resolution of the screen, then you can't do it....

1920x1200 is 16:10 resolution, then i think you can't use a 16:9 like 1920x1080

Thank you!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wards5150:
Just got one myself. Seems good although I thought there would be more apps available on the playstore. I've installed Kodi(playstore) and set it up after watching various vids on YouTube. Kodi is a must. You can watch or listen to practically anything. Enjoy.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ur2punk:
Thank you. That was my next stop. I also have to peruse this forum too. Seems like rooting it may enable me to install more(?) apps from Google Play ... too much to learn!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost2030:
There's apps that you won't see on the Play Store within the NP, but if you go on your computer browser you will see that they are compatible with the NP so you could install them through there. You could also side load apps.

FYI....you could buy an OTG cable along with a USB hub and attach additional storage or keyboard and mouse to it as well.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pumm3l:
I bought the Startech Micro USB to USB OTG Host Adapter on amazon for $5 and it works perfect.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasontermechi:
You can sideload apps without rooting it. Just look up how to sideload (super easy) and just download the .apk files. Your mind will be blown by what this small device can do.

Any apks you can recommend. Any with nexus player support. I bought a USB mouse but can get frustrating at times.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasontermechi:
Depends what you want to do. I know there's a list of apps and what not in the general thread I believe. Basically just about every app gets moved over at some point.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReDuXX528:
Hello there!

Recently I had some problems with random rebooting my device, so I decided to wipe the entire phone and install new version of CM12.1. I hadn't any problems during that process. I installed my favourite apps and configured my device. Everything worked quite nice and fast. First problem appeared when I did first reboot. Phone just.. gets bootloop. No matter what i'm doing - next reboot is always bootloop. I don't have idea what should I do :( CM11 starts to annoy me a bit.. I'm using a Huawei Ascend G620s-L01.

Any kind of help would be much appreciated!

Regards, Mat. [MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]

Oh.. Same thing happens on CM13.. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReDuXX528:
Anybody has an idea? :/ I realised that the AOSP ROMs based on Lollipop works! But after first reboot SIM stops working.. I'm gonna die..

edit:

ah, I noticed that radio and sim card stopped working on almost every ROM. It works only on some CM roms..
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
Well, I have cooked a personal norwegian touchflo wm6 rom, based on the new official wm6.

Thanks to tom_codons for the released worling oem touchflo.

And i used gollums touchflo fix, and its not activated by a button, but activated by sliding a finger from top to bottom.

Im not gonna release my rom the way its now (if ever), because I did not implement the touchflo fix in the rom, it was installed with a cab after flashing.

And there is alot of work to do with the rom itself.

But, I have the kaiser home plugin, the touch commManager, the touch dialer and the kaiser networkwizard working.

and I have added a few apps like PIMbackup, total commander2, Sun Java, pocket rar, htc audiomanagerand a few tweeks.

Its running very good.

I just have to figure out to change the pagepool so that wont be needed after flashing, and I need to do some regedits.

If anyone have oem regedits, please provide me with a link. Like in.ex not having the cabs deletet after install, etc etc.

Ill start working on a wwe this week.

Ill was thinking making just a few edits and implement touchflo, so that ppl can have a "clean" os.nb to work with. But im sure some more experienced chefs can tune it way better then me
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] meschle:
Congrats - glad you got it sorted. Most of the reg edits are in wiki - majority of wm5 ones apply to wm6. If you have problems let me know. As for pagepool look at the thread in elf upgrading - it worked on my artemis rom so i am sure it will work on your herald, pm me if you need any help.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
thx man, it has been quite alot of hrs gone by to get it work, thx to many.

Ill post both norwegian rom and wwe when I belive they are ready, and I will give proper credits to all who has helped providing sollutions.

But be careful offering help, I might take you up on that :) lol

It doesn't seem you've paid attention enough while reading his post! :-)

Peace!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Tha1nOnly:
yes ure right, im sorry bout that. but can somebody tell me if there is a standalone touchflo plugin which i can install on my p4350 herald with wm6?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] slvrbllt:
I'd wait for ITJE's release.

I mean, there's a plethora of different ROMs and setups out there, most of the times overloaded with programs you would never use.

An official WM6 ROM with only HTC Home and/or TouchFlo is definitely what most of us are waiting for.

As far as I know, there is no single CAB to install TouchFlo, while the HTC Home plugin is available on this forum (Kaiser version works fine with our Herald).

Hope it helps.
