s6 without a doubt if you can get the z5 that would a good phone but overal still not as good as the s6 because it has an amoled screen
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajyihia:
there is no comparison...the S6....better screen, camera, UI, cpu, gpu.....the only thing better in the sony is the battery life.....also i don't like sony's phones because they look like a cube...it's like no beauty...just sharp edges....
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiborprogmed:
i have had the z3+ . it HOT like fire. don't purchase.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
Just get the S6.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewmk20:
I had the sony z1, z ultra , z3+ . The z3+ was worst . Bad notification light (unlike z1 where you get a bar of light that you can actually seee in daylight) plus it overheats and throttles like hell. I now have LG G3 (same **** with overheating but the speaker is way way louder and the screen much nices and crisper than z3/z3+) and a S6 920F .
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodhaund:
What about the z5?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeehkaev:
Just get the S6, the Z5 fingerprint scanner is also trashy according to reviews. The screen is not super amoled, and that Exynoss will just crush the Z5 SnapDragon, not to mention the S6 is pretty cool and the Z5 gets hot very usually.

Without a doubt get the S6, if you need water protection get the S6 Active.

Hi,

Can anyone here tell me which cardboard works fine with Nexus 6P? Actually I have a OnePlus 2 Cardboard with me, but it doesn't work well with Nexus 6P. Many things doesn't work, pictures isn't prominent, sound is cracking... lot of issues. So, if anyone can tell me which cardboard will work with Nexus 6P, it will be really great. Also I'm from India so a Amazon.in link or similar would be really nice.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
I was just coming on here to ask the same thing. I have the original cardboard and the 6P just doesn't fit.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] goalkeepr:
The View Master fits perfectly. It's $25 on Amazon.com and 4,444 on amazon.in.

http://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B011EG5HJ2/
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tw1tch175:
The View Master one is great just keep in mind that the 6P just barely fit in it so you will be taking any cases off to use it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AlSimmons:
I snagged a Star Wars cardboard from a Verizon store and it fits well with my 6p and Spek Candy She'll Grip case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ayush84:
get the viewmaster thingy but from Amazon US, cheaper than Amazon India. Refund on import duty almost a given.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ves:
The version two cardboard was made for bigger phones (Nexus 6 among others). Anyways here you can view a few: https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/get-cardboard/

Though with the new Cardboard Camera app the next generation of cardboard boxes would ideally have a whole for a camera or a piece cut out at the top
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thephatness:
You want one with a headstrap. And you'll be totally sold on the experience by not having to hold it to your face. It's amazing how effective it works. The front facing speakers are key here. I can take about 30 minutes of wearing it before starting to feel weird. Then it takes some time to get reacquainted back with the real world because your vestibular system is out of wack.

I got this one:

http://www.unofficialcardboard.com/products/2-0-plus?variant=7602772993

The only downside is that with the Spigen Rugged Armor case, the sticky pad doesn't adhere to the back well. But it's not a problem. The phone won't be sliding out of the side. Put something soft in the nose rest for more comfort. The 6p is a heavy thing to be held up by the bridge of your nose!

Edit: For those new to this, charge the phone beforehand. The VR apps are using a lot of the phone's capabilities.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] badbob001:
I bought the viewmaster vr but I returned it because it is annoying to have to remove my phone case to make it fit and even then, it's not easy to get my large phone between the clamps.

Now I'm thinking of IAMCARDBOARD's new DSVCR item:

I did have some concern with the strap pressing on the side buttons, but I think if the buttons are kept to the top, the strap won't touch them. But for phones with buttons on both sides, then it would be an issue.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] goalkeepr:
Google does not allow head straps, so no "certified" devices will have one.

https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en//get/cardboard/downloads/wwgc_best_practices.pdf

Parts to avoid

Do not include a headstrap with your viewer. When the user holds the Cardboard with their

hands against the face, their head rotation speed is limited by the torso rotational speed

(which is much slower than the neck rotational speed). This reduces the chance of “VR

sickness” caused by rendering/IMU latency and increases the immersiveness in VR.

Seems like most of the threads are about USB-C cables for your old chargers. I just want to buy a whole new charger with cable. As I plan to sell my old quick charge 2.0 and cables with my note 4. Just curious if the "universal" 15w charger on the Google site https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_charger the official and only true fast charging one? Is it even the same one that comes included with the 6p? Seems weird that it wouldn't be labeled under Huawei or Google, makes it almost seem like a generic charger.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljoao77:
I ask this because we are now in December. I have recently fired up an old Z1 and want to breathe new life into it. So I have been looking around for a while now. A few things I gathered.

: Sony supports custom roms and supplies everything needed for a rom.

: fxp.co makes roms but they have been inactive since October, does this mean their latest rom is stable?

: Sony have released some camera stuff yesterday but nobody has come forward and said they will take it and build with it.

Everything seems dead and as if no one wants to build further. I don't know how to build otherwise I would of done it my self by now and shared it.

Is this device dead? Is there someone who knows what they are doing going to release a build? I'm still on stock waiting for my first AOSP build to flash.

Coming from a motorola (Moto G 2014) that has a million roms build a day. This is weird for me to not have a rom to flash and use as a DD.

I'm coming off as a snotty kid here I know. I just want to flash some AOSP's... So thats the question... Are there any AOSP's that can be flashed and used as DD?

Thanks for at least trying to read this... Pece
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascus:
Yeah it is a little dead around here unfortunately hahaha. I've tried all the CM/AOSP ROMs and from my experience almost all of them are good as daily drivers with no issues with the exception of the Marshmallow one currently being worked on.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljoao77:
So whick ROM do you suggest then?

On FXP they have this one : AOSP_L_MR1_151203_honami... I guess that is the latest one with the camera thingy that was published. 151203 means 3rd of Dec 2015. Right???

I guess I should just download and flash and answer my own questions :eek:

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascus:
Yea it does.

Up to you man, I personally just grab CM12.1 off the nightlies website http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/honami/ and maybe also flash M5 kernel on there, which you can find in the development section.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljoao77:
I just want to say... I've been at it for about 4hours now... This is harder than I expected. I finally have a AOSP rom. FXP latest build... Finally have TWRP recovery... About to flash open g apps stock package... I hope it all goes well... This is way harder than the hundreds of other android phones I've done this with.

Edit : It seems that cyanogenmod is the only stable ROM I could get past setup with. After I installed Gapps. I installed Aroma Gapps and selected the apps I use. The Gapps run perfectly and Google camera seems to be pretty good and taking full 20mp shots. I'm impressed with CM12.1. It runs good. After doing an antutu benchmark to see if the performance is close to stock I see that it ,"Benched", Way more that stock. 43288 is my score on Antutu. I know bechmarks tell half a story but it seems to tell an interesting one... It seems CM12.1 is really great and with the Gapps I'm getting my ,"stock android", feels anyhow.

This was the toughest device for me to get a working custom ROM with. There should be a new thread detailing how, late 2015. To get a custom ROM working.

AOSP with FXP in no good for actual use. CM12.1 is really good.

I answered my own questions I wanted details too. I'll be using this CM12.1 Xperia Z1 as my DD and see if it works.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
The first thing to do to stop projecting the image of a snotty kid is to read original development thread. You may surprise yourself finding plenty of custom roms including CM, Paranoid, Slimrom, DU and others. You can find kitkat and both versions of lollipop and every time custom roms were several months ahead of stock.

So, don't be shy and read. :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D33KK:
I think this is a little harsh, flashing a new device can be quite overwhelming, especially if the forums are as inactive as they are here in the Z1 section.

But OP, there is a super long thread pinned about flashing and rooting for newcomers, you should check that out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2440565
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
Little harsh? I don't think so. I don't appreciate it when freeloaders complain, especially when they don't know what they are talking about. The guy wasn't asking questions on how to flash, he basically came in and proclaimed that there are no custom roms for Z1, everything is dead and he is waiting for the first custom rom to flash. He clearly didn't bother to read and discover a multitude of custom roms for Z1. And by making that ridiculous statement, he has insulted everybody who contributes to Z1 development..

And by the way, what does "dead" mean? Inability to have updates twice a day? Lollipop has just recently became stable and marshmallows won't get there for at least a year. Plus, I am not sure that M is worth the effort: not much changed as compared to LP.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D33KK:
Yeah I agree with you, Lolipop is really good on the Z1, even if we do eventually get M I'm not sure it'll be worth the upgrade.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljoao77:
You miss understand. Let me explain. I went through all the custom roms threads. And I read the comments. The comments all speak of incomplete roms that have a major flaws in it. Camera not working is the main problem. I also did search the forum to figure out how to flash the Sony. The forum helped but it was scattered everywhere. Some solutions were not even in the Z1 page but in another Sony Xperia page. (The drivers not being accepted by newer windows) This thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2440565 would definitely come in handy, I must of over looked it.

I am sorry if you think I'm clueless to this. But I have had about 5 phones that I've flashed custom roms on. Motorola, HTC and samsung. All those phones were easy. The Sony is very complicated because I couldn't get into the recovery, after following instructions from Sony and on this forum. Using EMMA to flash the recovery, Pressing the right buttons. I could not get it to work... But with fastboot I kept trying and somehow got it to flash TWRP recovery. Allowing me to install CM12.1

Flashing the FXP AOSP roms was easy. But that rom didn't work. Neither did the Recovery that came with it.

I Just wanted to know how to get this AOSP that Sony bragged about. But in essence it doesn't exist. Not in a functional form for users.

And I think that was my biggest problem. Understanding that the AOSP thing is not for me. Or others that want it as a DD.

*Edit After reading the replies and felt the need to refreshen my story. I understand there are lots of Custom ROMS. The whole idea here was that I was looking for AOSP that all the articles talk about. Sony releasing AOSP build for their phones. But it isn't exactly the full story. I was just looking for these Sony AOSP Roms... But I did end up with CM12.1... I was thinking about trying this Jaguar one that is so active as well. I'm not trying to rip on the custom roms the community was working on. I was justy trying to find Sony's AOSP. I'm sure the Custom roms are great. And I will eventually find the perfect one for me.

Hello,

My Device:

Fire HDX 8.9" (4rd Gen/2014)

Codename: SATURN

Version: 4.5.5

1) Is it possible to root it on 4.5.5? How to proceed?

2) Is there a stable CyanogenMod and which version?

Sorry, but I don't get it as most threads refer to the 3rd Gen and older OS versions. Thank you very much.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
At present there are no proven root/rollback/rom options for 4th Gen HDX models running FireOS 4.5.5. You'll find some vids around stating all versions of FireOS v4 can be rooted (only valid on 3rd gen devices through 4.5.3) but you will likely end up disappointed or owning an expensive brick. Given 4.5.5 has been out awhile with no known root I think the best hope lies FireOS v5 assuming it gets rolled out to 4th gen devices. That's were people will be looking for vulnerabilities and developing exploits.

If you absolutely need root and/or CM I would seriously consider returning your device and going with something else.

Hey Guys,

I got my new HDX 8.9 from Amazon today (should be 2014 with SD805 and 64GB/Wifi) but my OS is 4.2 with an Update waiting to 4.5.3 (just those numbers in the settings, nothing like 14.4.....). Is it possible to unlock the bootloader and get a new Custom Rom with 4.2? I learned FireOS is utterly useless for me...

Thanks,

Hermelinmaster

BTW: First post, but i use XDA since Galaxy S2 root and Custom Rom-Tutorials came up. Great Forum!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
On your device (4th Gen HDX) you can not unlock the bootloader nor utilize Safestrap to host a custom rom (Safestrap v4 only works on 3rd gen HDX devices). Unfortunately, your only option is FireOS. Might as well let it upgrade as there is no benefit to staying on 4.2. It will eventually update to 4.5.5 which appears to be the terminal sub-release in the 4.x series.

If you are thinking there must be some other path there isn't (or at least one that has been widely published/noticed). No root option either.

If Amazon follows through and ports FireOS v5 to the HDX you will have an environment closer to native Android and potentially a new vulnerability that can be leveraged to install a different ROM . Until then you can soften the FireOS v4 experience by sideloading apps and/or utilizing a 3rd party marketplace like 1Mobile.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Hermelinmaster:
The Amazon Marketplace and some sideloaded Apps are for most of my app-needs enough but 1. I need Widgets and 2. I need some Google-Apps. And those seem to cause some trouble.

Think I just wait for End of January and send it back or sell it (got it quite cheap, now I know why) if there are no new methods for Custom Roms by then...

Thanks for your help.
