[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chipk:
I couldn't get it to work either, though I didn't try on 6.0....

Looking for a solution!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juryben:
Damn, 6.0.1 probably fixed it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smac7:
does tethering not work with some carriers? As far as i know it works fine one att.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
I have ATT and can not tether. Its tried to tell me to sign up for a plan. Im NOT rooted yet though, are you?

I was trying to hold off on rooting this phone for, well no real reason at all, but tethering is kind of a must for me.

Tried PDAnet and FoxFi also with no luck
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beavis9k:
You can enable tethering without root by modifying build.prop while in recovery. Your bootloader must be unlocked. There's a post in the general section about it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
yeah read that, thanks. Right now was holding off on that as well since it would wipe the phone and pretty much null OTA updates. I mean if Im unlocking the bootloader, a few more steps is TWRP and then FLASH AWAY! lol

Im sure Ill root, they always root
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beavis9k:
I agree; losing OTA updates is kind of a pain, but worth it to me to get tethering working again. I just flash updates manually from Google's stock images in fastboot, then modify build.prop to re-enable tethering.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smac7:
no root. nothing. I just tested and it worked. I am on a recent next plan, not an old "unlimited" plan if that makes a difference.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
Maybe. I'm a grandfathered unlimited
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smac7:
that must be it. Any plans after that come with tethering. You can find ways to bypass it with root though.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ennis214:
I tried to post this in PN thread but I don't have privilege for that, Sorry for any inconvenience.

I was using Cataclysm + ElementalX kernel since I bought the phone.

Doze worked just fine and I can obviously tell it work (the flat line in battery stat)

But after I *clean * flash PureNexus + ElementalX, it seems I cannot get doze working anymore, battery constantly fall overnight.

Yesterday 6.0.1 PN is out so I *clean* flash everything and rocking PureNexus 6.0.1 and ElementalX for 6.0.1

but the problem still exist:/

I know it shouldn't be PureNexus's problem, but I can't figure out what is causing this issue :(

Thanks for helping in advance and sorry for my terrible English
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murphyjasonc:
I'm on PN and everything is working great. I don't know what could be causing this but I can past your post in the pure nexus thread and see if someone smarter than me can figure it out.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D47x:
Use cpu spy reloaded to double check if it really is not deep sleeping, and use betterbatterystats and wakelock detector to identify the process/wakelock that's disturbing your phones deep sleep
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ennis214:
Thank you very much!

Thats the weird part, I checked the cpu stat and it is deep sleep for whole night.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D47x:
have you flashed boot.img before you updated to 6.0.1? other than that you can try flashing franco kernel and see if anything changes or full clean install again, including flashing the relevant images (e.g. vendor, bootloader, boot, radio)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ennis214:
I have installed BetterBatteryStats and these are the result of last night

Does it mean it is because the network signal and wifi signal are bad?

But when I was in cataclysm + ElementalX, I put my phone in the same spot when I go to sleep.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bologner:
ennis214, did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the exact same problem, my phone will not doze. I flashed PN + ElementalX + SuperSU after clean wipe.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Based on the screenshots, your device is disconnecting your data connection when it's connected to Wi-Fi like it should by default. You device actually did pretty good compared to other stats I've seen. Looks like Google did quite a bit of syncing also, or it could have been app updates? Do yourself a favor and turn off automatic update of apps and notification of app updates in the play store. It'll save you some battery. Just make it a point to check the store every two days or so and you should be good.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Post some screenshots of your battery usage and we will be able to help you. His appears to have been resolved based on the shots he posted.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bologner:
It's looking a lot better. For those coming to this post:

* I disabled all the wakelocks in the EX Kernal Manager (Bluedroid, wlan_rx, wlan_ctrl, wlan). To do this, go into EX Kernel Manager>Hamburger Menu>Miscellaneous>Press each wakelock until it says "Disabled". MAKE SURE YOU PRESS THE POWER ICON ON THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN!

I'll report back tonight with battery stats if it didn't work.
[BlackBerry Priv] 84281227:
Just about to get my Priv (FINALLY!), buying stuffs to armor it up - quick chargers, cases etc..

So here is the question: as there is no official wireless charger for Priv, which 3rd-party wireless charger available is best for it?
[BlackBerry Priv] Charkatak:
I don't have priv yet, but planning to buy one in a few days. These are the wireless chargers I was looking at:

1) Anker

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ue&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_5&smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ

2) Spigen

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ue&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_6&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5

3) MoKo

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ue&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_7&smid=A2VT4H683M5NNA

4) Choetech

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ue&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_8&smid=A1NCVKF8LXGAA9

#3 has AC adapter included, but that is about it. I want it to be like a stand, so it will be easier to see what if I get a text, call...
[BlackBerry Priv] dmband64:
Not sure if you bought one yet, but I've had mine for a few days and I can tell you the wireless chargers that will work well with this will be a select few. It seems the coil in the PRIV is near the very bottom of the back, so chargers like the spigen listed above (Which I have and use with my Nexus 7 LTE) don't work well at all. It continuously connects and disconnects because the coil is so low on the PRIV that it doesn't line up well. I also have the most recent Samsung QI charger that I got for my Note 5, and that one actually works pretty well because you can set the PRIV on it towards the very bottom of the device. Another example is trying to us the Nexus QI charging orb, which the PRIV won't work well with because putting it on there so close to the bottom causes the device to fall over the top because it's top heavy. So long story short a pad or flat surface charger will most likely be best as it allows you to position the device properly. Hopefully this helps!

PS: This is the best device I've had in a long time, and I've owned most current and past flagships. Reminds me of my days on webOS with my Palm Pres...but a million times better!
[BlackBerry Priv] Charkatak:
My Priv is arriving tomorrow :) I will use your recommendation when I will be buying wireless charger... It is just when using the pad, the device is laying down instead of being vertical so I could see and read messages...

By the way, have you tried to put your Priv in landscape on the wireless charger such as spigen?
[BlackBerry Priv] dmband64:
Yeah I like the stand up chargers as well so I can view things while working. Let me know if you find a good one that works well.
[BlackBerry Priv] Charkatak:
I just asked users on amazon if some of the chargers do work well with Priv. Will reply here if I get any answer. Have you tried to put your Priv in landscape on the wireless charger such as spigen? The reason I asked is because I read that some user had issues with some phones which would disconnect/re-connect, but when placed horizontally on the charger, all was well.
[BlackBerry Priv] dmband64:
Yes it does wort of work. The problem is that the coil is so low on the Priv that it falls of when trying to put it on there horizontal. Same with the Nexus orb. It's kind of annoying. One solution with the spigen is to put something under the priv when it's on there horizontal so it meets up with the higher coil as the spigen has three coils.
[BlackBerry Priv] Charkatak:
I saw 2 different Samsung chargers on amazon... Do you know the samsung charger's model # that you have described in one of your replies?
[BlackBerry Priv] dmband64:
This is the one I have...

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EP-PG...1450725284&sr=8-3&keywords=samsung+qi+charger
[BlackBerry Priv] Charkatak:
Do you know if the main difference is the "fast charging" and if Priv might benefit from the below charger vs yours?

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Fast-...8755&sr=1-9&keywords=samsung+wireless+charger
[BlackBerry Priv] dmband64:
As far as I know the PRIV is not compatible with Fast Wireless Charging, but I'm not sure. The issue is simply the placement of the PRIV's wireless coil in the back of the phone. It's nearly at the very bottom of the phone so it doesn't align well with some wireless chargers. Most phones have the coil in the middle of the back.
[BlackBerry Priv] Charkatak:
Looks like Fast Charging is for samsung phones. I found couple of interesting chargers which are vertical:

1) http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Miko...636&sr=8-5&keywords=vertical+wireless+charger

2) http://www.amazon.com/Aukey-Wireles...636&sr=8-6&keywords=vertical+wireless+charger

I think I would get the first one....
[BlackBerry Priv] juwoon:
Anyone tried the Samsung wireless charger? I was trying with the Samsung wireless charger for S6 but it doesn't work... :(
[BlackBerry Priv] juwoon:
Just found out my device is STV100-3 which doesn't support wireless charging.... Darn darn darn..... Ahhhhhhhhh
[BlackBerry Priv] dmband64:
It should work with any QI wireless charger, assuming you have a model with wireless charging built in.

UPDATE: Contrary to my previous posts...the spigen charger referenced in this thread DOES work with the PRIV. I tried it again last night with a different cable and charger and it does work perfectly. It must have been an issue with the cable and charger I was using with it previously not providing enough voltage or something. Sorry for the incorrect information.

Also, I can confirm it does work with the Samsung chargers, but the PRIV's coil is at the very bottom so you have to line up the very bottom of the phone onto the charger. Hope this helps.
[BlackBerry Priv] Charkatak:
Thanks for the update!

Moko Standup Charger

My priv has the official blackberry leather flip case, and I'm only interested in chargers that work with the phone in the case.

I just got the Moko stand up Qi charger a few days ago and it does NOT work reliably with the Priv in a case. It seems to work some of the time, but the night before last it charged to 60% and stopped. It's pretty easy to reproduce this behavior since it's never charged to 100%. One strange thing is that even when it only charged to 60%, it's pretty warm between the Priv and the stand. I know lipo lifetime is accelerated with heat, so I don't think using this, even if charges to 60% is a great idea..

I have a cheap square samsung charger that seems to work better, but you have to find the sweet spot.

I'm still looking for one that is 100%. Eventually, I want two, one for my desk and one for my car (air vent) but I'm definitely not going to try the Moko car version.

EDIT: I made shim (out of cardboard for now) to raise the phone up in the Moko dock by 1/2 inch. It charged to 100% for the first time! The phone is still pretty warm (about 94 degrees F) but that might be the way all of the Qi chargers work.
[BlackBerry Priv] Charkatak:
After I got my Priv, I am leaning towards this one, but have yet to decide:

http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Miko...636&sr=8-5&keywords=vertical+wireless+charger
[BlackBerry Priv] davidjan1:
This Meenova wireless charging dock is another choice -- adjustable, drop & charge.

Why BB want to have two versions? One with wireless and one w/o.........

[BlackBerry Priv] watsys:
Agreed. It is annoying but I'm guessing that Bell and Rogers are to blame, trying to reduce their cost. I am in Canada and bought online from blackberry. Wireless charging works great and my phone is unlocked.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doubleghost:
Hi All,

I've tried to connect my 298GB exfat HD to T715 using USB OTG connector, the ES Explorer could detect that there was an additional storage been attached, but i couldn't see any file in the harddisk. What seems to be the problem here? Is it the capacity of hd that is too high or the filesystem that can't be read by the OS? My microsd card is formatted using exfat and it still can be read.

Do i need to be rooted and flash additional files? Should i be using FAT32 instead of exfat?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sub77:
try to format a < 64gb usb stick with exfat, so you can figure out if the problem is the filesystem or the capacity of your hd.

it its the fs fat32 should work if you dont want to use ext4.

cm should also handle ntfs partitions.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guy009:
You can format the drive to fat32 using a windows program such as easeus partition manager (there's a free version or trial). (Windows itself limits fat32 formatting to 32gig so you need a 3rd party app like easeus)

Just remember fat32 can't support files bigger than 4 gig - so no big mkv movies for example
[Samsung Gear VR] Chengalang:
Got my new Gear Vr today from Best Buy (shipped in two days online) and it's been awesome. One thing I was wondering though, how do I access all those 360 videos on YouTube?
[Samsung Gear VR] jfs1179:
Use the Samsung Internet app.
[Samsung Gear VR] Rican2008:
Care to show how?

When I use the Samsung browser to see youtube 360 videos, all it shows is the flat video on the browser. How do we get the head tracking and inside the video effect?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear VR] nofear365:
As far as I know, there's no true solution for this. I too am looking for a real fix. Everything I've found so far involves downloading the videos to the phone locally. Not what I want...
[Samsung Gear VR] dimaru:
In the SAMSUNG internet app, tap the full screen button in the bottom right corner then the integrated video player will give you the option to play the video as a side by side 3D or as a 360 video
[Samsung Gear VR] nofear365:
For a better understanding you can following this video. This solution works.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kxiB6ucj8Y
[Samsung Gear VR] sawdoctor:
Thanks for sharing, been driving me nuts
[Samsung Gear VR] static Nachos:
A better solution in my opinon

Hey if you want to watch you tube videos in the theater setting then go to sideloadvr.com and check out the youtube 360 cinema. Youll have to follow the guides on the site to 1. verify your phones signature, then sign your own apks to be validated with your device. Their is a automated process but didn't work for me I had to do it manually. Also the vrstream app is amazing, you can stream nvidia based computer games to your theater setting as well its quite breathtaking if you need any help hit me up.
[Samsung Gear VR] dorsefrith:
Correct me if I'm wrong but this app load only flat youtube videos? I was not able to use 360 effect, just flat screen. I was hoping for some real 360 experience.
[Samsung Gear VR] 3DEvolution:
You need the newest Youtube app for you to see 360 video. The older ones will not work.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

All you have to do is open the youtube app. You can use google cardboard icon on the bottom right. I have uploaded 3d 360 videos to youtube and it works seamlessly.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Zurginator:
I'm usually a fairly heavy user, but this week I haven't been quite as hard on the Z5C as I normally am, and I saw it as a chance to test the 2-day battery claims.

Everything was left turned on as per usual - Wifi, Bluetooth, LTE and the like were left on for the most part. Screen was on auto-brightness, all the usual stuff. I didn't try to 'milk' it for more. I didn't use any of the battery life extending modes.

52 hours and 26 minutes later, with 4 hours and 26 minutes of screen-on time, I was at 2%. I'd definitely call that a pass.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mediafellow:
that's amazing.. im experiencing 9 hours of battery life with 10 mins screen on time, trying to figure out how to fix wake lock with sonys tasks app and some calendar storage app but seem to be completely unsuccessfull in this... :( you think if i do a factory reset of the device that'll fix it?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] langeveld024:
Mine is changed out now because of faulty lens but I've used it for a few days and I got same usage as OP.

you might want to perform a full factory reset and if it doesn't solve your problem return it to Sony for warranty.

Also, do not close the recent apps constantly. Let them run in background will improve the way lollipop (and soon marshmallow) runs.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mediafellow:
thanks i've just done a factory reset and unfortunately still same two processes are holding up hundreds of wakelocks on my devices :( not sure how to further troubleshoot / fix this..

processes are :

com.android.providers.calendar

com.sonymobile.tasks

does anyone know what those processes do and how i can go about just removing them or replacing with something not buggy? will be leaving for an overseas trip in a weeks time (away for a whole month) and this new phone which i got especially for it (good camera and waterproof) will be completely useless to me if the battery keeps failing on me. love the phone so far but this battery issue is killing my transition experience

had full charge at 9am and now at 4pm already at 33% battery life :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] yubeie:
for testing purposes.. do you have a calendar app? can you disable it? or clear the cache from settings >apps...There is some rogue app that is constantly accessing storage.. I've had it happen on my old phone with custom ROM.. also do you have exchange/gmail sync try changing that
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ninestarkoko:
for battery problems you can use Wakelock Detector without root (following the guide in the google play page https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...A&sa=D&usg=AFQjCNFCL0Z8eiWrc0xTYvz2hQAgPd3xoA ) and, if you find system apps that can't be disabled manually, you can use Debloater (windows application) http://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 which can Hide ( pm hide command) the system apps. I don't know exactly what the command does but i hid three system packages and they disappeared from the running processes list: either they are completely hidden from the system or they are stopped and not running. For example, i hid the Software firmware upgrade app and its settings in Phone Info disappeared along with the Software upgrade notification in status bar.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rolo143:
My battery life was fine until I recently updated to latest fw version using Flashtool. I can't update the phone with PC Companion anymore. I'm a heavy user, I play games, watch videos, check social networks, listen to music, download apps etc. But before using flashtool battery can last me a day or so. I don't think it could last more than a day if I don't use it. At night, for example, sometimes I let the phone idle, even with stamina mode on, the phone drains 1% per hour. I don't think that's good. I hope with the marshmellow update battery can improve.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] langeveld024:
do you set up your phone after a factory reset?

U should try this: factory reset, not completely set up phone, only necessary apps like WhatsApp, Google account etc, maybe disable or remove the unneeded apps and then keep using the phone for 2 - 3 charge cycles. Then all should be good. If not, return the phone. If all is good by then, u know it's not fault of firmware or phone but fault of some app u installed.

Did u flash userdata.sin (factory reset)?

I really can't believe some people having this bad battery life.

It must be some bad app or something, I think..

The only way to test is full factory reset including wipe internal SD and then test the phone without fully setting everything up (installing apps etc)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rolo143:
I think I'll do a factory reset. But maybe when the marshmellow update comes, I don't want to have to set everything up again. Btw if I want to update phone flashing a new fw via flashtool is it recommended to do a factory reset before or after updating? Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] naviru:
Mine has only maybe 30ish % left in the evening after one day with some youtube on the bus to and from work and random email and IM check ( 3-4 hours screen on total). Maybe it's youtube taking away all my battery...

I suspect it can only last until noon the next day maximum if I do my normal use and don't push it on power saving.... I don't know if I can call it a pass.. I guess it's somewhere between a pass and fail to me..

but, I do notice that it drained very fast in the first few days when I bought the device. After using it for a week it's a lot better. So if anyone is wondering why the battery life on your new device is really bad, try use it for a few days.

[Galaxy S6 Active] pside15:
I wanted something more durable especially when it comes to water and since I was switching to AT&T the Active was an obvious choice. I've had the phone for a few days now and I'm really pleased with it, especially the camera and battery life. The first day I had almost 4 hours of screen on time which was close to full brightness and still had over 40% battery left. I thought that had to be a fluke or something but it's clearly not. Now to the point of my post, why is this phone not very popular? Why anyone would choose the regular S6 over the Active is beyond me. Does anyone think we'll ever see root on this phone? I'm very pleased with it out of the box but there's a few things I'd love root for. Like why does there have to be a persistent notification telling me I'm connected to wifi. That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I couldn't believe it couldn't be turned off.

Edit:

Gotta change that sig as its all wrong now, lol.
