[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HMejia_U:
Hello, this is my first post. I'm new to flashing phones. I have a Sony Xperia S and I'm trying to update it beyond Android 4. I instaled TWRP 2.8.7 Nozomi, and flashed Cyanogen 9 which happened to have a date of Nov/2015. When I tried to install Cyanogen 12, last version dated July/2015, I received the message "Can't flash version xxxx over a newer one". I don't know how to erase the first installation or how to override the date verification. Help is welcomed

I purchased a used LG Tribute2 and can't get past the google email screen. The previous owner wiped the gmail account and I don't know what it was or the password so I can't go any further and I can't reach the person I purchased it from. Any way to completely wipe the phone and reinstall lollipop?

Since the stock camera does not support the RAW capture yet (hopefully will), which camera app could be the best right now to capture RAW image using N6P?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _clive:
Camera FV-5 supports DNG, but there is some bugs that needs fixing.

Switching between P to Shutter Priorty and back breaks the app.

Easily the best camera app period. Being able to turn off noise reduction is the biggest feature yet. No other camera app in the play store compares simply because of that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toraddict:
when I look at my Nexus 6P directly it is white, but when tilting it has a blue tint.

Is this common in AMOLED displays or is it a defect.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglerstock:
Normal.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
Yes that is normal. But if you had said it was blue directly looking at it and turned white at an angle, then it would be a defect. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toraddict:
It is very noticeable in white pages tilting it a little causes faint blue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toraddict:
Compared the device to a nexus 6 mine has little blue when tilting a little like 10-15 degrees the nexus 6 doesn't why?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beni0208:
Very little viewing angle change turns whites into light blue

I have a nexus 6p and it drives me crazy with its color shifting, for a very little viewing angle change it turns all whites into blue and the more i turn it it goes into a rainbow effect. According to the people of internet an amoled panel should have great, nevertheless better viewing angles than a lcd panel. Well i have to say thats not the case now, i have a oneplusone to compare the two to eachother and the oneplusone has basicly no change of whites other than it gets a little bit darker but it does not rainbows out whatsoever. But on the other hand the nexus 6p for the smallest change from straight can change its white color. Very annoying.

Is there any solution for that, or it is what it is, and take it or leave it?

Anybody might has a solution for that?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
It is what it is: third one arrived today and still not the best whites but it is the better of the three. The build date on mine is 11/3.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpehenry:
Honestly it doesn't bother me because I always look at directly. If you really want to go postal, tilt it almost at 180 degree then you'll start to see rainbows. What bugs me is that even on direct facing, mine doesn't have even whites. Bottom is more green and top is more pink. But that's another topic on this forum.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tones1971:
It shouldn't be normal. Viewing angles are supposed to improve as tech improves. You wouldn't accept viewing angles like this from an oled tv.

My Samsung galaxy s3 had amoled screen and didn't suffer from this. And that was when amoled tech was way behind what it should be now.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTrogo:
Is this really normal for all 6P users? I think my phone didn't have that blue tint until I accidentally turned on "Picture Mode: RGB" under developer options. Now it doesn't matter if I turn it off or on again. The blue tint is seen each time I don't look straight at the phone. I even did a hard reset just to be sure. Did that accident really break the viewing angle or is it just my imagination?

My older Nexus 5 doesn't have that issue. The blue tint isn't seen when looking from all angles.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentallo:
Apparently that's normal for Amoled screens.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prng:
I've gone through a few Nexus 6P devices and all have been very similar and all of them have this issue. I would agree that all AMOLEDs have a similar issue however the Nexus 6P has a very narrow band of vertical visibility. I am either very susceptible to this and/or I use my phone at a slight enough angle and it drives me nuts.

I'm coming from a Nexus 6 that I didn't have the same issue with. Sure, if you angle it at extreme angles it gets weird, but I'm okay with that.

Hum. I encountered a strange problem now. Email suddenly dissapears from my gmail-inbox. One time it actually dissapeared when I was looking at the screen :p Any idea where it went?

I have tried the search function.

Another problem was that the attachment in one email, a jpeg picture, didnt show either...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peasmaker:
Hi,

I wish to install a newer ROM than the one I currently have, yet it seems I might need a new kernel and CWM instead if TWRP.

So my questions are:

1. How do I know if I need a new kernel?

2. At some kernel threads, it is said that they only work with kitkat ROMs for example, and other ROMs might brick the phone with this kernel.

So do I flash a new kernel first or a new ROM first? Basically, how do I not brick my phone?

3. I read somewhere that SGS2 users can't install recovery without installing a new kernel. Is it true?

4. I would appreciate some directions about installing a new recovery (I would probably need CWM).

5. Why is it so hard to find answers to these probably many times asked questions?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultravy:
1 - if you are happy with your current rom, dont flash a kernel if not sure what you are doing!

2 - kk and LP kernels are not compatible between them as your cpu doesn't fit in a incompatible motherboard ! newer kernels are safe from brickbug ! you wont brick your phone with a wrong kernel (kk kernel over LP rom), just a bootloop.

3 - because a kernel is a recovery and a recovery is a kernel.

4 - Slimsaber is a good rom to start ;) see first and second post

5 - is not hard to find if you know were to look!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Just a small correction. A recovery (CWM or TWRP) can not be installed by itself because we don't have a recovery partition. Therefore kernel with a custom recovery needs to be installed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peasmaker:
1. I am happy with the current ROM, yet I want to flash the kernel to fix the annoying FPBug and to finally get LP ROM. And I might not know what am I doing, but if I won't try I will never know ;)

I've flashed a new kernel and a new LP ROM, and I'm trying some others.

I still find it difficult to find a kernel that answers my needs since many kernels are hiding in specific posts and some kernel threads doesn't mention which recovery they install.

I appreciate both help, I learned some new stuff thanks to you guys.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabbieBot:
I've used Killer Mobile's TotalRecall app for years now but for the first time its basically broke as hell on a new device of mine. I brought it to their attention, and shortly after they released a minor update that I think actually made it worse. Now, they are telling me two weeks for a fix.

I hate being held captive on support but wouldn't be jazzed about throwing 10 bucks at another app to do the exact same thing. I think the only thing to do is be a complete pain in the ass until it's fixed. I'm being sarcastic. Kind of.

Does this still work for you? I've been looking for another option since the open source Call recorder for Android doesn't seem to work for Android 6.0.1 on my 6P while it does still work for Lollipop. I've tried a couple of options but it records only the incoming voice and very low, whether using only the device microphone or Bluetooth. If this still works for you it may be worth the purchase.

Thanks in advance.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Deleted member 2070558:
Hello everybody, I've just messed my Z3 tablet compact LTE.

Everything was working fine before flashing. I've brought this as second-hand just yesterday and I decided to use flashtool to do a fresh clean install of 23.4.A.1.232 firmware (Lollipop 5.1.1).

After a success flash of the firmware i unplugged it and powered on. Tablet screen is now blank, I can hear the boot sound, tap and hear the tap sound and browser files in windows.

I'm still able to turn off the tablet (power + vol up) and then enter flashmode (vol down + plug usb) and use flashtool again. I've trying to flash 4.4.4 Kitkat but didn't solve the issue.

Any help is really appreciated, thanks.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervine:
Well, it might not have an HDMI out socket, but I believe the USB socket is certified for MHL 3.0:

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-z5-dual/specifications/

Obviously you need an MHL adapter and they usually (always?) require an external USB power source. But, given all that, you should be ok to push your display to a TV via HDMI.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
Good response and you are correct. I may have misunderstood the inquiry. I thought the op was asking if the Z5 had a direct HDMI port like the Xperia Arc.

Oh no I was wondering if it was HDMI capable :D I will buy an MHL adapter. Thanks guys.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] krnfrk6663:
I've had this case a few days. It comes in two pieces, a slip on rubber type piece, and another plastic that slips over that. At first I felt it was a little loose, but I apparently wasn't fitting it completely correct. (I don't like to read instructions.) As soon as I picked my phone back up, I immediately noticed I didn't have my phone slipping in my hand anymore, felt comfortable about setting it down metal, other glass surfaces, etc. Later in the night of day one, I dropped it when I was getting out of my truck, straight into gravel. Checked the device expecting scratches, on something at least. Nothing... case didn't even have a nick. This case doesn't seem like much at all, it feels slight thin to be able to protect the device, but then in the act, it exceeded my expectations.

So overall, I would recommend this, especially if you're looking for a cheap case that isn't made in cheap ways. You get what you pay for with this, not a flimsy version of what they promised.

Style= Not 100% my taste but even in the duel red/black color combo. I still like it though.

Protection= It will take a fall, didn't want to really test that factor too much. I don't have a extra Note 5 laying around. I did accidentally drop it a few times. It didn't even damage the device or case at all.

Dislikes= The only thing I slightly don't like about the case, is once you put it on, it is very hard to find the buttons, even after you get used to it. They're super smooth. Making it feel like they're part of the case.

I'm giving this my approval. Definitely will look into their better cases in the near future.

This is the exact case I've gotten. I hope this helps anyone looking into purchasing one for their device.
