[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] todivefor:
Sounds to me like you might have an unfixable problem. Is the water damage noticeable, that Sprint won't touch? If not, take it to another and don't volunteer that information. If they are able to detect water damage and won't touch, you are kind of SOL. Make an insurance claim if you have it or try Samsung.

This is where to get the latest firmware for your device. The download is very slow. Some guys on here have uploaded for a faster DL. Look around or just wait on one of these.

Flash one of these with odin, if it doesn't work, you likely will have to replace.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] EcryptedGimick:
Thanks todivefor! I'll give that a shot and if unsuccessful follow up with Samsung next. Appreciate the reply.

Faster Download

https://www.androidfilehost.com/user/?w=settings-dev-files&flid=40967

The two latest TAR files for Odin.

I would use OJ7 as it is newer and if you have taken an update, you would need that one. (You can always use a later TAR, but not revert back to an earlier.)

Use an MD5 checker (like this one for Windows: http://www.winmd5.com/) to make sure that your download is complete. Every file has an MD5, check that it matches what appears on the Android File Host page.

Best of luck.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basedthirst:
I was looking at buying a nexus 5 for $200, and was wondering about the following...

1. General performance for gaming, social media apps, chrome ,and the UI.

2. Battery life.( Screen on time, standby etc.)

3. Anything else I should know before buying.

Thanks guys :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
1. its good enough for gaming, the sd800 is no slouch.

2. 3 hours is what i get, also depends how intensive your use is.

3. you should easily find it for under 200
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F4uzan:
For general usage (like gaming, browsing, texting, etc), the phone runs absolutely well. It has some great multitasking capability, most of the time you won't feel stuttering at all.

Battery life is not good nor great, it's poor to be precise. Average screen on time you'll get is 2.5 hours to 3.5 hours. The standby, however, with Android 6.0 is absurdly amazing (personal opinion), you can get some days on standby without charging (again, this is a personal result).

You might want to give your hope for camera if you actually use it, it's not bad but it's not decent too. The HDR+ (from Google Camera) helps a lot, tho.

Also, the built-in microphone is bad, it's just bad. There's some tweak around to fix or improve it.

- This is all I can write, most of these are personal result and some user might experience a different result. -
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
The N5 is still a great little powerhouse. The only knocks on it that I can attest to are: screen is slightly washed out compared to a lot of phones, battery life is average at best, and 2 of the 3 N5's I've owned have just died for no known reason. (but that's more of a personal experience and not saying you will too) Camera is average, but not bad, and the speaker could be a little louder. But performance wise, it still kicks butt. It can still keep pace with the most recent phones punch for punch.

Now it's time for you to decide.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basedthirst:
Everything sounds good!! How would you say the N5 screen compares to the 3rd gen moto g?(I'm talking colors contrast etc, I know the nexus kills it when it comes to pixel density) because moto g's screen looked excellent to me to minus the resolution.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F4uzan:
If you like a warm color / screen, it's not that bad actually. I actually prefer a warmer screen because they are less harsh when turned on at night. Since I've never saw the third gen Moto G, I can't really say. What I can say is, the screen has a significant (at least on my N5) yellowish tint (hence the warmness), it might irritate you but you'll get used to it after using it for some time.

Hey guys.... I have a Motorola xt1563 dual sim. A week ago I was trying to flash my phone with this rom:

XT1563_LUX_RETCA_5.1.1_LPD23.118-10_cid14_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

But unfortunelly doesn't boot. The display only show me a text:

My phone is not unlocked and no root.

I really don't know what to do, anybody can help me? Any idea?

Do you have any other idea? Thanks, man.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeanca:
I assume you have a mexican or brazilian XT1563 the firmware you used is not made for it. I looked around and found a file factory page

http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=100&page=1

My BLIND guess is

XT1563_LUX_RETLA-IUSMX_5.1.1_LPD23.118-6.2_cid12_subsidy-IUSMXLA_CFC.xml.zip

this based on the IUSMX (which I assume means U.S and MEX)

Again it is a blind guess so double check, then triple check and proceed with caution.

not sure if I can actually link out to another page if not mod let me know and I'd be happy to take it down. Otherwise I have previously stumbled upon some forums in Spanish and Portuguese which point to the right firmware. I'd suggest look into those as well.

As usual google is your friend.

Hope it helps.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybergonvergalarga:
hey Joeanca....

I read your comment and that's true I have a Mexican XT1563, I will download all the firmwares and I try it, thats interesting.

About your blind questions.

IUSMXLA means

IUSACELL (name of the cellphone Company)

MX means Mexico

LA means Latinamerica

I will do it with caution, but let me explain you. I even downloaded the original firmware from motorola's webpage and also follow the instructions but nothing happends, the phone still show me the bootloader options with this message.

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (secure)

failed to validate system image

ERROR: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot

Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode

I'm not sure what's happening. And you say it, google it's a great tool, but I have a week searching for a solution but I can't find it.

Thanks for the advice Joeanca. Have a nice day. And if you know any other idea please let me know.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sid.X:
Go to About Phone in Settings.

Then click build number 6-9 times until it shows 'you are now a developer'.

Then go to Settings > Developer Options and select OEM unlock.

Then unlock you bootloader.

Flash a custom recovery (TWRP).

After that root your device.

And finally flash a custom rom.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybergonvergalarga:
Hey Sid.X

When I turn on the phone only shows the display in recovery mode, unfortunelly I can't do it all con can say. And the phone can't load Android, so that´s the problem. I can't find the solution because my phone is not working. I try to install the original rom from motorola's web page and nothing happends.

The phone also is oem locked and never root, and I buy it 2 months ago.

Do you have any other idea? Thanks for the advice, I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks anyway, have a good day.

[XDA Assist] :
OK, i have a Samsung note 8.0 tablet (gt-n5110) currently running cyanogenmod 12.1 which is lollipop 5.1. I am an avoid movie downloader and I have tons of SD cards full of movies I've downloaded. I used to watch them seamlessly on my tablet until recently. I can't recall if this problem started with the new ROM or not but no matter what app I'm using or what movie I'm watching, after a few seconds the audio track will skip and subsequently become drastically out of sync (usually 2-3 seconds or more behind the video which is maddening to me). I have tried multiple apps however I still prefer MX player. I do have the custom ac3 codec but I've tried using the default codec for regular mp4 files, same problem persists. Also, the problem continues whether I'm using a Bluetooth speaker or not. Any help would be greatly appreciate . I've fooled with all the settings I can find in MX, tried VLC, etc. I can't seem to find an answer that had fixed my specific problem. At this point I'm really frustrated and just want it fixed so if the answer had been right under my nose, you can call me an ass, I won't take offense, just please give me the answer lol.

Hey guys

Please may your help me. I recently bought a Wileyfox Swift and decided to install CyanogenMod 12.1 for my phone. I installed CM12.1 successfully and used it for a week. 2 days ago I tried to restore stock by fastbooting the ROM found on NeedROM. After it installed my Swift just turned off and couldn't turn back on. My PC sees it as Relink HS-USB QDLoader 9008. May someone please provide me with a way to unbrick this device?

Thanks

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gparmar76:
Hi Guys/Gals,

I recently got some small scratches on the back of my Z5 Premium chrome edition....it had me really bummed out and upset because it hasn't even been a week yet and it got scratched...I can't tell for sure what did it but I think it was from the one time I was in a rush and had the phone and my keys in the same pocket (I know, dumb mistake).

Anyway, I was trying to read up on different ways I could remove the scratches myself since it was only a small area...my wife came to me and said to hand it over and that she would be able to take care of it...I hesitated but i let her do whatever she was gonna do. She handed me the phone back looking like it had just came out of the box....not a single visible scratch at all....what has me even more interested is how she did it...she said she used clear nail polish on it...this is new to me and I didn't know that clear nail polish could be used to remove light scratches....she said she only used a light dab and then just worked it with a light cloth for buffing (I think). I just thought I'd post this in case anyone else is facing this issue. She also informed me that if you use too much or it doesn't look right, just clean it up by using nail polish remover and you could try again.

I was going to use metal polish but was afraid I would screw it up so I was holding off for a bit....if anyone else has good methods of clearing up light scratches for this phone, please post it here...a lot of us prefer to use their phones with no cases and these tips may come in handy.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Xperia devices seem to scratch easy on the back but not the front

I'd just buy a cheap screen protector just to prevent the back from being scratched up

My Z2 has a load of scratches ONLY on the back but my Z2 is also bent and 2 years old

As for removing the scratches my only advice is taking some window polish and cleaning it ALOT ( i did this with old PS2 games about 11 years ago )

Appreciate ur help :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] abo hani:
My eyes are nearly closed now, I'm gonna add it to the Tips thread, it's easy but a long way to make it .

Replacing Default icons can be done by Themes/Overlays/ 3rd Party Icons Changing Apps, You can't change it using the launcher it self ( you can if you change it's files => you need to be a developer to know where/what to modify ) .

So, tomorrow morning, gonna mention you when it's posted.

[Blu Pure XL] Andrews_pozo:
Hi..!! I´m thinking about buying this phone, I REALLY like it, but I´ve seen in reviews that the phone has some bugs and that Blu is not too worried about keep up to date thei phones... Also I wnat to know if the camera is good or bad, how does the finger print work, sound, and also if is going to be able to root... THANK YOU, hope you can help me..!! :):)
[Blu Pure XL] ETC295:
Overall it's a really good phone. The fingerprint scanner works well, the camera and sound are also really good quality. The only thing that I extremely hated was the OS. It is TERRIBLE, I'm not even joking, no app drawer, all the apps flood your screen, just a big no. There is a fix though, use nova launcher and it's gonna work a hell of a lot better. Also, I've heard there is some problems with google pay, but I don;t use it so I can't say for sure. Also, be aware that the costumer service is downright laughable, so don't expect BLU to be of much help. On the root, well there is a dev team here working on it, so I can't say if they'll be able to root it.

[Blu Pure XL] mhajii210:
This is the best phone I've ever had, and I would definitely recommend it, as long as you're okay with a big 6" phone. I personally got used to the size quickly. It is relatively easy to hold for the size. Fingerprint scanner works great for me, and the camera is better than I was expecting. It's not the best camera on a smartphone since it is a little slow to focus at times, and the low light pictures are okay, but overall I would say the camera is very good. The sound from the rear speakers is nice and loud. The call quality is great, and surprisingly I get a better data signal than on my HTC M9. I also got used to the UI quickly, but there is no app drawer. If that bothers you, you can easily install another launcher. The biggest issue with this phone is currently a lack of root, zero software development, and possibly no upgrade to Marshmallow. If you can live with the possibility of zero software development, I would highly recommend this phone. I truly feel that for the price you can't beat it. I have not discovered any major OS bugs to report. There are minor issues which you can easily fix by downloading an app or changing the launcher etc. Give it a go, and if you don't like it you have 30 days to mess with it and make a decision.
[Blu Pure XL] vision33r:
I have a couple of phones from work that I'm playing with to compare with the BLU Pure XL.

I'm on the fence. The large size is good to use but not many car gripper dock fits it well. You really have to try a few. Then there's the few issues with software updates etc that I'm not that concerned with since I have a few devices that are still on KitKat with no issues.

The phone has very good voice and data signal, GPS is pretty good. I often have that problem getting GPS lock with Note 4.

The screen is very well calibrated even better imo than the Note 5 which is a bit on the cool warm side. So overall this phone is a good deal for they money however it is so big that it's not a good daily driver for every situation like going to gym or out jogging this thing is a bit too big.
