[Nexus 5X General] windplr:
I'm also coming from Verizon to Fi. I'm in northern Calif., in a moderately rural area. So far, it has been great. In my area, signal strength has been generally better than VZ. I love the simplicity of the service, it's everything that Verizon isn't. I also love the wifi call integration. It makes my experience at home so much better. I haven't yet been able to test handoff between wifi and cellular while on a call.
[Nexus 5X General] colorado_al:
I tried project Fi and it ended up costing me more money and coverage was not as good. I'm happy that I was able to buy the Nexus 5x for $250 through the Fi promotion. So that is awesome, but my data use is consistently between 3 and 4GB/month. On Fi that cost is about $50-$60/month. I had been using StraightTalk at $42.50/month (buying a 180 day card for $255). Coverage was not as good on Fi either. Back to Straighttalk for me. I get to keep the N5x at the $250 cost.
[Nexus 5X General] berndblb:
I have been on Fi for 6 months now and I love it. Coverage in Southern California is great, never even notice when it switches carriers. I cut my VZW bill in half with this.

International coverage is great too. Recently spent time in Denmark and Germany. Just turned the phone on, got a text message with the local rates (both in Denmark and Germany data was the same as here: $10/GB, calls were 20c/min) which are very reasonable. In Germany I spent most of the time in a rural area. Still, coverage and data speed were more than adequate. I used to have a second phone for Europe, using some local cheapo provider. Absolutely love that I can now use my Nexus wherever I am.
[Nexus 5X General] Voicebox:
I've been on Fi for a little over 3 months, and been satisfied, particularly with the cost savings. I'm coming from Tmobile so "gained" the Sprint coverage. Though in my area in Southern California, Tmobile had built out coverage the last few years and was very good. There've been only 2 times when my 5X switched to Sprint, and that was one lounge in the airport where I know the Tmobile signal was almost non-existent, and the other time in a subway (transit, not the sandwich shop.) I'm using the Signal Spy app which logs network history. In both cases, the Sprint signal was weak, but there. I already had wifi calling through Tmobile, but the hangouts syncing messages across devices and being able to text and call from my "cell" number from my computer or tablet is great.

I also have a Fi data sim in my Note 4. Which with the Hangouts dialer, does nearly everything the 5X does, other than being able to call and text over the cell network, and only uses the Tmobile network. But I can use hangouts to call and text over the data connection. Next time I travel internationally, I'll probably take that phone with the data SIM and just leave the 5x at home.

The reason I'm saving money is I'm almost always near wifi, so average only maybe 300MB per month of data, going back years. Plus the taxes on my $40 Tmobile plan were over $7, but are a bit more than $3 on Fi since it seems to be based on the $20 voice and text. So I've paid about $26 average over the 3 bills since starting, and that included international data usage which was cheaper than my historical practice of using a local SIM.

The worst part about Fi, has actually been the 5X. It is a mid tier phone, and I've never been a fan of stock Android. As an example, until maybe the start of May, to enter an event in the calendar, I couldn't just type "meeting 9am" and have it add to the calendar. The time had to be entered separately in the time section below. They just fixed that. Also there's no way to select a certain group of contacts to show, like TW has so my entire contact list is on the phone and I have to search versus just being able to scroll through a reasonably short list like on TW. Touchwiz also has the alphabet down the side so I can jump to a certain letter. Also, at just 1/2 wider and 1/2 longer, the Note 4 gets a lot more out of the screen. Much easier to read things on it.

Plus Google seems to screw around with the Fi app or OS too much. A January security update introduced a problem where mobile data could not be turned off by many users. I had this problem. Sometimes it would shut off, and sometimes not. Took until this month for it to be fixed. The voice quality is also not so great. It works, but I tried hangouts dialer on my Note 4, and the quality of the call was much better, as in normal clarity. Versus calls with noticeable noise on the 5X over cell or wifi. There's rumored to be a fix for that rolling out soon. So they do work on improving things. But I would like to buy a flagship phone to use with it.
[Nexus 5X General] Buddlespit:
My wife and I just finished our first month of Project Fi. We had come from Sprint after 15yrs, with three lines at $195/mo for ****ty coverage while paying for two $600 Galaxy S5s over 2 yrs. I dropped a line (daughter is 19 and has a job*) and straight out bought two 5x's for $200 each and 1G of data each for $30/mo. I am not disappointed one bit. I'm an appliance tech and I use maps for my routing and chrome for parts and/or error code lookup and still came in under my 1G limit. The T-Mobile coverage in my area (Tidewater Virginia) is a lot better than my old Sprint coverage. I rarely see the 4G Sprint icon and was VERY surprised by how often I see the wifi icon through out the day.

*Daughter also went on Project Fi, paid for her 5x up front and 2G data /mo.
[Nexus 5X General] geoff5093:
Weird. My friend used his 5x on Fi in Germany last month and had no problems at all using data or sms.

Fi just added US Cellular as well, so if you are in one of their 23 states rural coverage will be significantly better. 3-4GB is too much data for Fi compared to other carriers, you should look at adjusting your ways when on Fi, like only updating apps on WiFi, pre-download music, wait a few minutes to check social media until you get to a spot with WiFi, etc.
[Nexus 5X General] Dri94:
Maybe it was just my location
[Nexus 5X General] Voicebox:
There are threads on the Fi support forum where some people get service in a country while others don't. Or will get service in one part of the country, but not in another city. Also some people have service, switch to a local SIM for a while, put the Fi SIM back in and then get no service. It seems a bit random.

I had service while running to a connecting flight in one country, landed in my destination country and had no service. I can't remember what I did that eventually got it working, but luckily whatever I did got it working after getting to my hotel. I think I toggled airplane mode, rebooted, and tried different APNs. But some people have to try clearing the Fi App cache and some other more involved steps and never get service.

I got a Fi data SIM since those don't seem to mess with the phone so much. I'm taking both on my next trip and my prior phone in case the regular Fi SIM causes problems. The data SIM won't have cell service, but with data I can get a lot done.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] str8upn2:
my battery cover fell off and the battery popped out. Now when I power on after a soft reset the screen is stuck on the 4.0 Rom page.

The question:

I was going to upgrade to Tom's 4.1 anyway;

will a hard reset get the unit to function again?

Is there a alternative that saves my data?

If no alternative can I upgrade to 4.1 without a hard reset

knowing that I'll lose my data anyways?

Thanks for any help with this
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] meschle:
There is no way to retrieve your data - therefore flash to b&b 4.1 via bootloader mode. Hold down record button and soft reset - you'll have a multicolored screen - attach via usb to pc and begin flash (you do not need activesync and if you have already flashed uspl you dont need to do it again.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbarrett480:
Hey guys and girls,

I am thinking about switching from sense to an aosp rom but I know on other phones I have had quirks and things that haven't worked right compared to sense. I was hoping that you guys could help me out by answering some questions about aosp roms such as CM12.1 for example.

1. Does the camera take the same quality pics as sense?

2.. Does anyone ever have issues with duplicate texts being sent or received?

3. Is the signal strength the same as sense?

4. Does bluetooth have issues with cutting out when connected to an external speaker?

5. Does anyone have issues with their phone not ringing when people call?

Thanks for any help that you can give me!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
1.No, it works but it's not as good.

2. I personally didn't, not once. Using candy rom.

3. My signal was exactly the same, using EE UK.

4. Bluetooth worked exactly the same on candy rom, no issues at all, same for GPS.

5. Phone calls were spot on and the audio was actually louder.

Overall, AOSP is great, but you have to accept some limitations and some issues which pop up, the camera for me is the biggest issue, sense camera on a sense rom is just altogether a better experience, but if it's just point and shoot and simple stuff, you'll be fine.

Hope this helps.

is there anyway of double tap to wake on AOSP?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Its kernel related mate, it's been done on lots of other ROMs for other phones. One thing I've noticed besides your phone turning on in your pocket, it mashes your battery. It needs to be seriously optimized and up until now I've not seen dt2w on aosp on the m9.

Might get done but not just yet.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] keitaro182:
Hello everybody,

I hope I'm not out of topic or repeating a previous thread, but if so, please forgive me :fingers-crossed:

My sister's Xperia U's screen died and she wishes to get her text messages back. I've found various solutions on the interwebz but all of them require a recovery or at least ADB to be activated which is, unfortunately, not the case.

Do you guys know of any way to get those text messages back without ADB or a recovery ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

[General Questions and Answers] EpiclyToasted:
Hello,

so i have rooted my LG using instructions from this - link but i have not got polish laguage and i can't sent any SMSs or call anyone. I thought that i would acctualy change my system to Cyanogen, so i decided to unlock my phone using LG's manual and here is my problem, I can't get my device id, when i type 'adb reboot bootloader' everything looks fin but then when i type 'fastboot oem device-id' there is 'waiting for device' all time. I have installed those drivers manually and using SDK, I am not sure if i did it right but i have no idea what to do, i am not very familiar with this whole stuff as you can see.

After downgrading my device there was a information 'device locked - (...) you can unlock your device by device unlocker app' but this app says that there is a problem with unlocking my card and It stays locked, so i can't use network or call anybody.

I hope You can help me guys, anyway thank You in advance.

It might be that all R are for 5.x, but the way the files are in the 2nd link (the google one) I put in, R2 is sorted as the 5.1 release and R1 is the 5.0 release. Ms appear to be marshmallow-based.

I did find this announcement for R3, so maybe that's the one for 5.1.1 .

My overall impression is that Aldy wants people using the updater ap and that actually installing it is important to get the right version.... to the point where my desire to install his M2 build means I have to install M1 and then the updater ap to get to M2.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] lozbo:
I believe (as new to these forums, and newbie with the ROM upgrades) that all efforts in explaining stuff should be put up on the wiki, which I have just modified myself (the article about Universal Upgrade).

As a newbie, I lost too much time reading the forums to understand all the terms (and some I still don't understand) related to ROM upgrading (btw: I have just installed successfully the L26 WM6 PRO Business v7 Videocall2, by Laurentius26, which I'm testing), which IMHO is the first and most important article that newbies come out looking for (what is ROM, ROM upgrading, different ROMS, detailed step by step guide, etc).

And a guide (like a wiki) is much more easier to read and understand for newbies and in general, by everybody. This is true mainly because of the organization, hierarchy, and most important, the fact that the info is in only one page, not hundreds of threads.

So I urge everybody to look into it and strive to keep updated the Wiki, as I will try to do myself with as much as I can give for the community.

Having said that, I can only shout out loud a big thank you and congratulations to everybody on the forums, for their excelent work, support and those wonderful ROMs!

Hi everyone! Today a very strange thing happened... I was using my tablet with Windows, with a usb hub attached to use a simple mouse. This hub has a micro usb output, so that I can charge the tablet while plugging in usb devices (that's exactly the one techtablets uses in one of his videos about this tablet). All of a sudden it stopped charging, so I tried rebooting: NOTHING. Then I switched to Android, but still no luck!

I'm happy I see that it charges if it's completely off, but I don't think it's normal!

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] .oOOo.:
I have the same problem. The tablet will not charge while powered on and starts charging right away as soon as it powers off. I do not have to wiggle the cable or anything. ON = not charging, OFF = charging. It's very unlikely that this is caused by a bad connector.

Be careful when you use Android. If Android shuts down because the battery is low, the tablet will start as soon as you connect a power cable. The tablet starts up, stops charging because of this, shuts down because the battery is low, starts charging as soon as the tablet is powered down, starts up, stops charging, shuts down, starts charging, starts up, stops charging and s on. Viola: you have a boot loop.
