Thank you both for the replies.

I would like to ask, are there any known issues while doing this?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Bulldog:
Before you upgrade to WM6 make sure you have eatleast bootloader V1.0.

Going back to WM5 is no issue as long you follow the right flashing procedure and don't interrupt anything during flashing.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] synergetic:
Thanks.

I have Bootloader 1.01. tried the update available at Club Imate for Bootloader 1.2 but it doesnt seem to update.

Will now try to flash the firmware.

Which one would you guys recommend?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnmbailey:
I have unlocked my US Cellular SM-N900R4 on Lilipop, and am now trying to get it working on T-mobile. After the local USC store unlocked it, I added an APN editor from the Playstore, and now have the data working for the LTE connection. The problem that i am having is that it gives a 'no Sim or Sim Error' when trying to place calls, probably due to the network setting not allowing me to select GSM / LTE network option. The only 2 options for network selection LET / CDMA or CDMA.

The following thread was for unlocking a Sprint G2 for Tmobile, but gave some good info but the apps just wornt work on my Note 3 on lilipop.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729370

The radio switcher app crashes, as well as the other ones that i saw on the PlayStore, so i cant select a GSM option

I was able to install an APN app to get the data working, so now i just need to get the voice / calls working. I was able to install the Rom Toolbox Lite app from the store, but there is no

ro.carrier=???

ro.build.target_operator=???

available from the build properties. Instead there are CDMA operator values for US Cellular and the 310??? value for US Celllar. Should i change this value to 'None'? IF so, what is the decimal value for the 'None' carrier option?

Can anyone give me some suggestions? are these apps specific to the Sprint G2 or to the android version? Is there a custom rom that might enable these settings?

Thanks in advance for any assistance or re-direction to information on the subject.

Hi, I just got my second Nexus 5x. The first one worked perfectly with my Airtel 4g sim card. But this new Nexus I got shows no sim inserted after a random time. The sim works perfectly when I insert it. But after like 4-5 hours I observe that the phone is showing no sim inserted. Only way its solved is if I take out the sim and reinsert it. Then again after some time I notice it's showing no sim. The sim is perfect because I used this sim with the other Nexus for a week.

Did anyone else face this kind of issue?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoopratnaker:
I just bought a Nexus 5x and I am facing a similar issue. It worked fine when I initially installed it and then it reported no sim. And I have been struggling to get it back on... For now I am going back to my Nexus 5... phew! I hope this is just a temp problem.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyotman007:
Which carrier sim are you using. And my sim starts working again when I re insert it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmudd:
There was a similar thread before and I had this problem before and so did a few other people. My problem stemmed from using a cut micro SIM that I cut down to nano size. The card was too thick or something and I was getting that intermittent issue. My solution was to get a real nano SIM card. I haven't had that problem since.

I don't know if you're using a trimmed SIM card or not, but if you are, I would suggest either getting a real nano SIM or sanding the trimmed one down to where it's not as thick.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsuchiro:
I had the same problem and replacing it with a nano SIM solved the issue.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyotman007:
Thanks for the input guys. I've a proper nano sim not cut out one. I haven't experienced the problem again since last night. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azarin:
Same issue here with a cut sim - worked fine after replacing it with a real nano SIM.

Even if you have a real nano SIM it may be worth asking your provider for a replacement - the phone seems to be a lot fussier than any other phone I have used in the past when it comes to SIM cards.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyotman007:
Got a brand new nano sim today. Still the same problem. No sim after an hour. Guess the device is faulty. Gonna return it to Amazon.

[General Topics] sketchman16:
It has just always been my default move to flash Gapps after a custom ROM flash. Reflex just like flashing SuperSU.

Lately I'm annoyed with it, though. There are some apps I don't want to update, ever. Using an app to remove the market link for an app works till you run the Play Store again, so it really doesn't work. Then you have to go through the apps one by one and update them instead of touching "Update All", or just remove the market link every time before you check for updates via Play. I suppose you could write a script that runs before the Play Store to do this automatically, but this is another annoyance rather than a fix IMHO. And you still get Play Services running the BG whenever it feels like it. Also something I don't like.

So, anybody not using Gapps at all on a DD device? And what are you using to get apps instead? I found androiddrawer.com to be pretty good, but any other full on "store" app seems to either not do enough of what Play Store does, or it does exactly what it does, and I don't want that, OR it's the Amazon "app store" which is just really stupid anymore.

So what I want is either an app store that gives me the option to leave an installed app alone forever and keep its stupid mouth shut about updates, OR ?

What do you use?
[General Topics] sketchman16:
Seem to have answered my own question. 1mobilemarket does the trick. Gives me the option to ignore app updates. That's all I needed. :)

I never install the gapps in the first place. I have a number of extracted apk files for those essential play store only apps, the rest is coming via the f-droid repository.
[General Topics] chowhk:
how to extract apk from Gapps?
[General Topics] sketchman16:
I went back to Gapps, unfortunately. F-droid does not have all I normally use, and they really need to have the option to ignore updates. Androiddrawer.com is an OK alternative, but not really ideal.

Think what I'll do it setup a dummy device in an emulator with Gapps installed to keep updated apks on tap and then I can cherry pick what I want with my real devices. Keeps data usage down to a minimum and lets me get rid of Gapps on my real devices. Wish there was a nicer way.
[General Topics] krasCGQ:
Actually, we here in Indonesia have some alternative app stores, but all of them aren't a replacement of Play Store.

Some of them are carrier-dependent for some features, like Gudang Aplikasi that their IAP only available to XL Axiata users and TemanDev and WePlay where their IAP only available for Telkomsel users.

Another app stores, like web-based JalanTikus and 9Apps, or Baidu Indonesia's MoboMarket.

These app stores' app lists were incomplete and no IAPs like Play Store has. So why Indonesians are using these app stores altogether with Play Store.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Squarez:
So I always root every single phone I get days into getting it. It has been different with this one. I want to root it so badly but I really want to use Samsung Pay. Chase Bank JUST got support, even though I don't have Chase, my girlfriend does so I can use her card from my phone lol.

I haven't been able to find anything indicating KNOX won't be tripped by ANY root method or even being reversed. If I could reset the KNOX counter then I will root away, but there isn't anyway to do that.

I don't even know what I'm asking, any input? Thanks folks!

Edit: It's a T-Mobile Note 5 SM-N920T

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Squarez:
Thanks, I'm not on much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] apd:
Nope - not going to happen. Rooting the Note 5 trips the Knox flag and it cannot be reset. Pingpong root (which didn't trip Knox) was killed off before the Note 5. If you root there will be no Samsung Pay (and the like), probably ever.

That said I rooted - as you can see from my signature I also have an iPhone, which I use for Apple Pay, so no worries!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Squarez:
I got a chance to use Samsung Pay with my girlfriends Chase card today and I'm not impressed. I waited all this time for nothing. Oh well, time to root. Any suggestions on method and ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] apd:

You should really root. Opens up so many possibilities. Ad blocking, titanium backup, cache cleaning, the list goes on and on.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ducter:
I am in the same situation. Not asking if I should root or not but haven't decided for myself. Been with android since 08 and have rooted every phone I've had, Knox is a different animal all together and, tho I like the note I know I won't be with it for too terribly long. I think tripping Knox will hurt the resale...I remember why I didn't care for Samsung all to well now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] TarquinnBlackwood:
Don't really see how tripping Knox effects resale since most buyers wouldn't know how to check. Just root. Life's too short.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Android_Monsters:
Yeah, come to the dark side. Root for all the people on the other carriers with locked bootloaders.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] AKW:
Amen. I myself am a recovering AT&T victim and I was so bummed when I learned they lock the bootloaders. That's one of the main reasons I switched to T-Mobile

On topic: Root it. Samsung pay is sorta cool, but sacrificing all the features you get with root for one sorta cool feature doesn't add up to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] darkjedi:
I don't miss root at all. Especially with AdGuard and the ability to use my custom font, I'd rather have Samsung Pay and updates when they're out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] playya:
correct my fellow xda member. With the xml that shuts down so many apps and the ability to change my fonts and finally nova launcher. With all this in place and a 1+ that I have rooted and running marshmallow life is grand. To those that say you are not impressed with the ability to not carry you cards with you and simply touch and pay you make no sense. Also why root a Samsung phone which can be used at 95% of the places you go and keep an Apple because of Apple Pay? If there is Apple Pay then there is Android Pay and Samsung gives you two options.

Sorry just my opinion on things but I root to remove bloat and increase battery life. Of course some options are great but I have found alternatives which help me cope. First phone since winmo days that I have not touched per se
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ducter:
Guess it's honesty. I wouldn't sell something without disclosing pertinent information. It's not this short life I am worried over.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] TarquinnBlackwood:
But, if you buy a used phone you expect the first owner to have used it. It's like saying you won't listen to music on it cause you might hurt the speakers.

I'm glad you're happy being not rooted. The note 5 is awesome stock.

As for me, I got mine the day they were released and was rooted the second I got to my cpu.

I've no regrets. I had to do an exchange. They gave me a new one no questions asked.

Knox isn't really the big deal people think it is.

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 AM ----------

I'm religious, too. Just hate the bloatware that comes with the stock rom, need my root apps, and love me some roms.

To each their own.

Trust me. I work at a cell phone store. You won't have any trouble selling your note 5 when you want to part with it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ducter:
You are right, to each their own. I have been on androids since the g1 pre order October of 08, rooted all my phone's and compiled cyan or AOSP for most of them. This is the first phone I have had that by rooting you actually lose something useful besides warranty. I agree, root is better but with the ability to still block ads and literally turn off services it's not as important to me as it once was. Your music analogy is flawed tho, listening to music should in no way void your warranty or remove a feature of the phone. Odds are, in an exchange situation they probably wouldn't even check, they could tho.

You are right, most people wouldn't know how to check for Knox but those same people probably know how to use pay, and an ever increasing chance they will want to.

Hard to say this after hating touchwiz for so long but you are right again, after a bit of tweaking the note isn't all thar bad stock, if I decide to keep the phone for a length of time, I will root it depending on software updates etc but that's also an added feature with android, it's your choice. I'll take the perceived hit on selling it with full disclosure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
Both of you have valid points.

I rooted because I hate, Hate, HATE FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM AND WHAT'S APP AND ALL THAT OTHER BULLSTUFF!!! Sorry got intense there. Bloat does nothing but steal, and for a device that has to be so "secure," they are sure keen on securing the wrong things.

I really do hope no information such as credit card info is being shared by the Bloat apps. Yes they say Samsung pay is secure.....*1 year later* Have you or anyone you know used Samsung Pay?!

Just saying, you never know. I rather use my card itself anyways. No one has successfully stolen it yet. Weird thing too though, as I'm getting older; and I'm 29, I've been using cash a lot more often instead of swiping my card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ducter:
I completely understand, hate the bloat as well.

I tried adding my debit card, samsung support says my bank is supported, bank says no, not yet so nope, haven't used it lol.

Oddity perhaps but at 44 I find myself using cash vs debit card as well. Years back the wife and I cut up all our credit cards except one, transferred all the balances over and haven't used that card either. Suppose the credit card part is just trying to actually live within our means, not using the debit card as much is just a trust issue. I have never had issues with it but we are all 1 possible swipe away from havoc lol.

Anyways, getting OT.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] playya:
Just want to say I have used Samsung Pay and without issue everywhere I have been. It comes in handy as some cards I prefer not to carry with me at times. I do not worry about security since its all insured and my money will be returned to me if anything goes wrong. Its ok to be more cautious but if we listen to everything and believe all we read at this stage we should not even have a phone or anything that can leave a digital footprint.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
They used to say that about leaded gasoline but yes, if everything is believed then some people shouldn't use smartphones. At least though all of the other info I have on my phone isn't my money or personal information.

My other reason for not using it is that I only have 2 cards to worry about. Credit and debit, and both from the same bank. Plus Samsung and Wells Fargo hasn't kissed and married yet. No pay for me anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] playya:
Then my friend the answer for you is quite simple.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
Yeah. I will say though that the fact that we can now use our smartphones (mini pocket computers) to pay for things is quite mind blowing if we look back at the fact that steam engines were a thing less than 300 years ago!!!

Download ftf file for your Xperia Z1

Be sure to download correct version of ftf. Check the model number of z1 and download it

Its recommended to keep battery charge atleast 40%+.

Now open flash tool switch off your phone

Click on the lightning symbol on top left of your screen and select flash mode and click ok

Browse through and select downloaded ftf file and wait for a dialogue box with phones animation to appear it may take some time to extract ftf file so be patient.

Do as dilogue box says and done..!!

[HTC One A9] calz2525:
Hi,

Just wondering how much RAM does the Android OS use up on everyone's HTC One A9.

On my device Android OS is consistently using around 700MB on average, which added to other apps equates to a total of 1.5GB in total of average memory use (I've got the UK version 2GB RAM, of which according to the RAM manager it only sees 1.8GB). So therefore I'm always using around 88% of my total RAM.

The next highest RAM user is Android System on 100MB.

I'm wondering is this normal? Are others seeing similar figures?
