[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhughes1966:
I will get this started. I first started by activating the Adaptive Brightness under the display settings.

It makes the screen dimmer - to my eyes even though it sets the overall brightness to exactly half way.

I thought my whites looked somewhat grey at that setting so I turned it off and put my screen back down to 1/3 (LOL) and I am pleased with the results - especially at night as the whites look whiter.

anything past half at night burns in my retinas much less the screen.

I have not noticed any less Screen on time. I still get about 4.5 - 5 hours until it hits 15%. This is with location turned on and email push. I don't use twitter, facebook or any of those social apps the young people are using these days.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargate125645:
Is there an easy way to dim the screen to the point where you can't see the picture? I stream the phone in my car, which means it will get hot with charging, screen on, and high usage simultaneously. Since it is an AMOLED screen, it would not allow for screen off like other devices. Seems like without this, burn in would be a big problem for me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhughes1966:
I would think that you could just do the 2 finger swipe to bring it to the default menu. Then set the slider down as low as possible until you can barely see anything. I took a 5 hour drive today with my Nexus 6P with the girlfriend and had it plugged in for at least 2 hours at a time. My phone did not get really warm while either plugged or when running on battery.

Also I have enabled the System UI Tuner and now my phone screen only stays on when plugged into the power source if I select "stay on when plugged in"
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargate125645:
No burn in issues? I would think there is a way to reduce brightness beyond stock but I don't know enough to do that at this point. Perhaps through Xposed it something.

I had a gnex that I kept on low brightness and refused to get another nexus until battery was straightened out. On my dmaxx, I kept the brightness high and no burn in on the amoled. The 6p isn't as good at battery, despite being huge, but it's good enough. I keep it on 60-100 brightness, using lux to adjust it as needed. No burn in so far

Hello ...

is there a way to really lock keys and the only way to used them is either unlock using the touch screen or if some special event happends like phone call o something but re-lock the keys after this events end?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n46krb:
Hey everyone

I'm new here. So I repair mobile phones, tablets, Apple products, computers for a living. So I'm very familiar with the hardware side but I'm completely new to rooting. I'm also familiar with Jailbreaking for iPhones but from what I can see, it's a bit more complicated maybe?

I have a galaxy S6 Edge (Model SM-G925W8) with Bell, in Canada. I'd like to root it but I'm so afraid I'll brick it and then they won't cover it under warranty. It's still under warranty. The reason I'd like to root: I wanted to backup my current, original version of Android BEFORE I upgrade to 5.1.1 in case I experience problems with battery drain or I just plain don't like it. I've heard, to do that, I have to root. Once I root and do that, then I may look into doing other things.

I've been reading mixed reviews on reliable roms? for this version of the Edge. If anyone can point me in the right direction and tell me , step for step, what I have to do to successfully root this and 'jailbreak' the phone, that would be great. thanks! !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Even if you do you won't be able to restore it with that type of backup. You will have to flash a stock firmware.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oglet75:
It's my first post on here so go easy on me guys :)

I'm trying to mirror from my TV to my Amazon Fire TV as well as use WIFI-Direct. I've made sure they are both on the same network and the TV picks up the Fire TV. I select connect and it's sending a message to the Fire TV asking permission. After I've selected for it to be approved nothing happens and the Samsung TV in the living room (right on the other side of the wall from the Fire TV) just keeps trying to connect.

Any ideas? I've searched and searched to see what OS my TV is running and I can't find it anywhere, there are quite a few apps available so I'm not sure if its a custom version of Android or not.

I'd greatly appreciate any help or assistance anyone can give me. I've also noticed a network which is available called Direct-3F-FireTV-8b54 but have no idea of a default login or password.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpencerB:
I setup a fire tablet for a friend by rooting it, and adding google play. Tested the system, and various apps by logging into my personal google account via play. Everything works great, except that I can't figure out a way to log out of my google account on the device before giving it back to my friend.

The issue seems to be that the amazon system doesn't have an "accounts" or "accounts & sync" settings menu like most android devices, where you can remove/delete accounts.

I was able to change my google password, and then wipe the data from the various apps to prevent the device from syncing any further but the issue is that my account is still listed in play/gmail/etc, and there is a 'sign in' notification that won't go away.

Anyone have any thoughts on a work around to fully remove my google account from the device?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theholycow01:
Would clearing data for the Google Play services apps do it?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Do you have a google settings app, looks like a cog?

If so, sign in and security, devices and notifications, loads a web page, on recently used devices click review devices, select the Fire, Press remove?

Come to think of it I think you can load the web page on pc if don't have the app, try logging in at

https://myaccount.google.com/u/1/security#activity

On the left select - Device activity & notifications, scroll down and select review devices, select the Fire and press Remove.

Looks like it should do the trick.

I did this as well. It effectively does the same thing as changing your google password. It does not remove the account from the device. It still shows up in all the google programs, and prompts a permanent notification that the account requires attention. I think this process is intended to prompt a device to re-sign in to google without changing the password itself.

I think your original post prior to edit, stating that a factory reset is the easiest method, might be the way to go.

If you are on the stock rom like the OP you can't access the menu pjs mentions, the one you can get to via "google settings", "account preferences", "delete your account or services" would do what you fear above.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpencerB:
Ah, CM12.1 is how you are able to do it. I'm still on the stock Amazon rom with Nova launcher.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
OK, it sounds like my original post was correct for rooted stock so I'll try to reconstruct it, if not for you, then for others who might need it.

There's no simple way to remove a google account. Basically, you have to delete gapps, either manually or by factory reset, and reinstall.

(EDIT: Reinstalling over current Gapps - Didn't think to mention this as an option because when I installed new Gapps over old I had major problems with google apps crashing and had to factory reset anyway. That was over a year ago with earlier Gapps version, though. Maybe it could magically work now?)

Factory Reset: I think this is easiest. Do the reset and then install Gapps again. Your apps and data will be deleted, but root survives. If you flashed the SuperSU zip, the app installed to /system so you won't have to reinstall it. Same with your launcher if you moved that to /system. (If you didn't flash SuperSU zip, you'll need to reinstall the app after resetting.)

Disable your launcher and enable the Fire launcher before resetting. The state of system apps disabled/enabled with the "adb shell pm" command doesn't change with the reset. (I've confirmed this several times with gatesjunior's Debloater tool. Still, I always keep wifi off during a reset and disable OTA again afterwards.) :eek:

Manually: You must uninstall (at least) play store, play services, gmail, google accounts and google setup. Use Titanium Backup to search for all things "google" and see if there's anything else that sounds account-related. Make a list of what you're getting rid of, back them up and uninstall. Then get new apks from some place like apkMirror.
