[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon5:
I got this phone yesterday. It is currently running Android 6.0.1 and the status bar keeps saying "No service". I have tried using 5.1.1, as well - same message.

When I first got the phone, I tried rooting 6.0.1 with the latest SuperSU but resulted in a bootloop so I reset the phone + unrooted it with the Nexus Root Toolkit.

I have tried using my SIM on another person's phone - works perfectly.

I have tried using another person's SIM on my phone - "No service".

In the "About phone" section -> Status -> SIM status, the phone recognizes my phone number and IMEI number. So my phone knows there is a SIM there and everything, it just can't connect to the phone network for some reason.

What could possibly be the problem?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Has the imei been blacklisted? Have you tried searching for networks?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3032329:
i been getting the same thing on and off since i had mine and seem stuck as well
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothicasshole:
What network are you using?? If its CDMA you have to get the imie# activated into the system by your wireless provider... So any Verizon/sprint for example you need to get that activated in their system.. Only GSM is plug & play at&t/t mobile
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon5:
My IMEI is not blacklisted according to protectyourdata.ca's IMEI checker.

I am using Bell. It is HSPA I think. The SIM card works with my Oneplus One, which hasn't had its IMEI # activated on their system.

I've decided to just return it and get a new one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothicasshole:
Hspa is a GSM technology.. Make 100% sure the nexus supports your radio bands.. I would honestly either try a nother sim card or call customer service.. Perhaps it could be a defective unit. Also make sure it fits 100% in the sim tray. I had that issue once with a sim that didn't quite snap into the sim tray
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon5:
I just checked and Bell requires phones to be 850 or 1900 MHz compatible. The Nexus 5 supports these frequencies. I tried my sister's and friend's sim cards and it still doesn't work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothicasshole:
You might have a defective sim reader

Also get a can of electronics spray air.. Blow out the sim port. Don't use your mouth as saliva can corrode the connector and they can claim water damage
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I use a nexus 5 on the bell network and everything works perfectly.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:
Some days ago i had my phone rooted and i installed xposed framework. My camera stopped working ( it opens and then shuts down). I am trying to install SemcCameraUI but i need the stock camera app first. Can somebody send me the stock camera app or atleast to tell me what to do next? I'd appreciate it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] amirul.35:
i have the problem too at first,then i tried to :

1)clear camera cache and data in the setting>apps

2)go to semccameraui folder via root explorer and delete the camera apk only

3)reboot and install the camera unlocked v4

and it work
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:
Yeah but i dont have the folder because i first deleted the stock camera and then i installed it again. And now i dont have the folder
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] amirul.35:
flash firmware back is the best way then,because i dont have any back up for the folder now
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:
yeah but ill no longer have root access. I rooted my phone with my bootloader locked. Now my bootloader is unlocked but im afraid of flashimg the firmware back.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] MK99:
So, you want this folder?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] amirul.35:
just flash the firmware,re root,not so hard to me
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:
Will it wipe my data?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] amirul.35:
yup,but you can exclude it in the option before you start flashing firmware
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] amirul.35:
correction,put the camerav4 apk in the system folder ony,set permission to rw-r-r,reboot thats all,no need to put in semccameraui folder
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:
how to set the permission to rw-r-r thats my last question thanks:)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] FirstMn:
Type in Google "Mega collection sony system files" and you see XDA Thread. Here is too Xperia m4 aqua, firmware 1.100 and 2.167 :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] nrokos:

[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
My Nook STR display looks like it has worn out or faded out.The (black) colour seems worn out , dimmed and heavy ghosting.(even after shut down, see the attached images).I can recover it bit by refreshing the scree (everytime I turn a page) but it is annoying and distracting.And this happen after about 5 min of booting and soon after nook start it look ok (but dimmed a bit)

This started to happen about a month ago and I have been using my Nook for 2 years now without any problem.

To solve this I restored it using the Nook Manager but the problem remains.

Please give me your views and advice. I am suspecting a hardware problem.

Note I don't use any apps like NoRefresher or FastMode.

[I'm new to this thread posting and apology for mistakes]:confused:

Thank You in advance

[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
Somebody like to help Please
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I'm no expert but I can't imagine that something like that is NOT hardware-related.
[Nook Touch General] digixmax:
If the problem remains after you did a "factory restore/reset" then it is most likely hardware related.

My NST had ghosting issue when I was experimenting with FastMode/NoRefresher but it went away after I did factory reset and went with a less exotic kernel hack.
[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
Thank you for your response guys

I think I could zoom in the problem.

I took several screen shots using the screen shot app in one of these threads

Surprisingly those images are perfect. :)

I think the software is working fine.

So the problem is in the display or the display driver. And I notice that the e ink display has becomer darker even when the Nook is power off.

Is there any way to test the display driver ?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Hmm, that looks strange.

It's certainly not the frame buffer, but you already proved that.

Dumping the frame buffer will give you a nice, clean shot.

It could be that the (plug-in) display itself has a problem.

It could be that the voltages out of the (electronic) driver are screwed up.

It could be that the VCom or the EPD waveforms are screwed up.

The first thing that I'd try would be plugging in another display.

I'd also check the dmesg to see if something happened.

You should see stuff similar to this (editted) version:

DSPTrace:=== DSP: Load waveforms for t = 25 ===
DSPTrace:=== DSP: EINK parser version 1.07 (MV5) ===
DSPTrace:-I- Mode Version: 0 INIT, 1 DU, 2 GC16, 3 GC16(r), 4 A2, 5 GL16, ...
DSPTrace:-I- WMTA = 000047 (hex)
DSPTrace:-I- Ranges: 0-3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-38-43-48
DSPTrace:-I- [4] Loaded ID = 5, t = 24 - 27, Subframes = 38
[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
Thank you Renate

I checked the dmesg log and found this part is different

DSPTrace:=== DSP: Load waveforms for t = 29

I am not an expert so I attached the log.

Testing with another display is the most reliable method but that takes time as I have to import one from China.:crying:

So is there anyother way to check the display driver ?

I checked the display cable it is perfect. I am really confused but also VERY curious to figure out this mystery :D
[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
More pictures of disembled display ( isn't is look strange the ghosting even when no power) :confused:
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
No, your dmesg log looks fine.

It's just that your room is warmer than mine!

It looks pretty low-level, driver voltages or display.

I'm sure somebody who works for the display manufacturer could tell you in a second exactly what it is.
[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
Thanks Renate

I think the only way to check (or solve) this issue is to plug a new display.

I was reluctant to spend on a display (nearly $25):crying:

But I ordered one from ebay and now waiting for it .:(

However, do you think the weather has any effect on the eink displays ?

I found a similar thread from mobileread forum. One poster reports a similar issue with kindle and sony readers.

Permanently screen fading over time problem in e-ink readers - MobileRead Forums

Several posters say they are in Asian countries.So I am also in asia (Sri lanka) So I wonder whether there is a connection.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I could tell you to fiddle with the EpdWaveforms and stuff, but that is a bit of black magic.

Your waveforms are apparently happy and loading.

I don't remember if B&N really set the Vcom on their devices before they left the factory.

The good thing with playing with the Vcom is that it's easily editable.

You said that you took your Nook apart.

Did you see the sticker on the back of the Epd connector?

That tells you the common voltage to the panel, around -2 Volts.

(The barcode says the same thing in Code128B, "-2.25".)

That should correlate to the value in /rom/devconf/epdVcom

You can try changing it if it doesn't.

It probably won't make a big effect, this is more fine-tuning for gray scale.

In my case:

echo -n "-2250" > epdVcom

(The number is in millivolts, with a minus sign.)

I dunno, put your Nook in the fridge and see if other waveforms work better.
[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
The voltage is the same Renate. But I don't think there is a problem with the Rom and other software stuff.Because I did a complete system restore and the problem remains.

What really bug me is whenever I boot it (or reboot) the screen become ok with clear text.But after about 10 min (this time varies) the problem happens.

I think it is difficult to troubleshoot without a new screen.Plus I haven't seen people complaining about faulty motherboards.This makes me hopeful. (correct me if I am wrong on this)

Anyway Thank you Renate for your time and effort I saw you always trying to help many posters here. Keep up the good work!
[Nook Touch General] NookST Student:
Update

I got a brand new display from a ebay seller and my Nook is better than a brand new.:D

The fading issue is in the display.

The new display is whiter and has better contrast than the orginal one.

The best thing is I can use Renate's Temblast Reader without complete Refresh.

I don't know whether the new display has high DPP but I am more than happy.

I think the weather has an effect on Eink displays.

Thank You Everybody for your kind consideration and advice specially Renate. (Renate look forward to see an updated version of your fantastic Reader app with dictionary and bookmark)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicsoda:
hey I wondering if it is possible to port the good camera from Huawei mate s or Huawei p8 , even honor 7 . they are the same with lot of good functions. well nexus 6p is a Huawei device too, do u think it is possible ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
It likely uses the EMUI framework so I doubt it. The Google camera app is great and there are other options on the play store if you don't like the stock one
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.gid:
y cant we have few features like using the fingerprint sensor for taking selfie or scrolling? No such app?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Its a Nexus (AOSP based)not a bloated EMUI phone. That's why it doesnt have those bloated features, nor does it need them. I never take 'selfies' or even use the FFC so it's not important to have for me. You have to remember that this is a Nexus not a skinned UI phone so it only has the bare minimum in terms of software features. If it had Huaweis normal UI it would be slower and the phone would be ruined.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.dj26:
Sorry m8 but the stock camera app sucks. No ISO, no Sutter speed, no manual focus, nothing. Fv-5 is great but it needs some bug fixing cuz sometimes is just wont focus and won't capture at all.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
None of that is really required on a phone. The stock camera app works great, and doesn't clutter things up with necessary features. I use my DSLR frequently in manual mode which serves a purpose for a real camera; phones don't need manual adjustments especially not the 6P. Every picture I've taken has come out perfectly the first time I took it. I don't need to play with settings like I did on my LG G3, Nexus 6, or S5.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.dj26:
I don't know about you but I really miss the HTC camera app. Editing the photos in real time using the MF, SP, and ISO can give you the image your looking for. Nevertheless, even on auto setting on FV-5 it takes better photos then the stock camera app on the 6p. For me it always seems to be over exposed and washed out.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I've never owned an HTC so I can't say I know what you're taking about. I know there are a lot is good camera apps out there, but I've never had any bad pictures from the stock app with auto HDR and flash off
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkExistence:
pretty sure you can get the HTC Camera app on apkmirror
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
You need the frameworks so the camera won't crash
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkExistence:
Weird. I just downloaded it. Well I didn't get the marshmallow version. Maybe being rooted has to do with it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.dj26:

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Fahrenheit51:
I got my Mi4C four days ago.

I already flashed TWRP and installed latest stable ROM from xiaomi.eu.

But even if the display quality is great, the speaker is awesome and the MIUI itself is still amazing.. the device isn't as fast as i was expecting.

The most tedious moment is when i'm writing a message (either sms, whatsapp or telegram). It's like the vibration is delayed and sometimes typed letters appears all together after 1 or 2 seconds instead of appearing one by one as i write them. I was expecting more from a hexacore snapdragon bloody super powerful processor... I mean, my old Nexus 4 with Minimal OS (Android 6.0) was incredibly faster while typing.

Ok, the Nexus 4 also took incredibly ugly photos and opening an app required more time than on Mi4C but the overall experience was more fluid.

Do you have the same feeling? or it just meets your needs?

:)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
To be honest, i have never experienced any delays while typing. On mine everything is buttery smooth (and i write a lot) :)

I think its the bloatware or the keyboard that comes with the China stable Rom. I would suggest to install Xiaomi.eu Rom or sMIUI. You will see how fast it is without all those China Apps ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Fahrenheit51:
That's weird!

Actually, as i wrote, i installed the latest stable ROM from xiaomi.eu 'cause i saw some apps chinese only and this got me like :confused: what...

Mhh.. do you have the 3gb or 2gb model? also, is there any known way to understand if the device is original by Xiaomi?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
I have the 3gb and my girlfriend has the 2gb Version and both are running fine. I have sMIUI installed and she has Xiaomi.EU developer rom
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Fahrenheit51:
Uhm ok thanks man. :) It could be just me :rolleyes: I'm using Google Keyboard (up-to-date) and when i type a letter I see the popup appearing just a bit later...

I'll wait for the next update on xiaomi.eu. Maybe it will be a little faster (it's nothing terrible but when i'm writing a long message its kinda annoying)

In the meantime, if anyone know how to check the authenticity of the device, please tell me.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ermacwins:
I also noticed the keyboard lag on miui eu ROMs. I guess it'll get ironed out eventually.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Fahrenheit51:
Thank you!

I was thinking it was just me and my obsession for immediate response. :p

Hopefully it will get better soon.

Today i noticed that i'm not able to send vocal messages on whatsapp. Any other user is experiencing the same issue? the timer starts but when i release to send it just doesn't send. :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] prototovsky:
My old phone was a Nexus 4. Mi4c feels better by far in system response in my opinion. I´m using stable rom from xiaomi.eu

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

Did you set the permissions for using camera and mic on security app?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Fahrenheit51:
Solved! (enabling "record audio" in permissions settings) Thank you.

First time using MIUI daily eheh..

Well.. that's weird. I let one of my friends try typing with my device and he confirmed that it feel like "delayed".

You barely notice it when you type one or two letters but with long words or even long messages it becomes a thing.

As i wrote i used Minimal OS (Android 6.0) on the Nexus4 and it was incredibly faster when using the google keyboard.

Is there anything i can check to understand if there is some performance issue?

how much should the Antutu score be? or how do i check if the device is original? (it actually looks like a legit Mi4C since everything appears as it should be..)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
First i would try 1 or 2 other Keyboards, if there is no such issue, you could look in settings, language and input, spell checker, click on the little world icon and disable " look for contact names". And you can open the Google keyboard settings, advanced, key popup dismiss delay and set it to "no delay".
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Fahrenheit51:
Wow man... I disabled all the suggestions (Contact names, next word, suggestion from google) and it's now as it should be!

No more delay. Just type and go. :victory:

Thank you so much.

(still unknown why suggestions were the cause of the problem :confused:)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
Good to hear that :) now you can look what was the cause when you re-enable the things you have disabled, but just one after another. I think its the contact names thing, or Google suggestions.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Fahrenheit51:
It looks like the major delay is caused by the "spell checker" in "language and input" settings.

Some minor delays also come with "Suggest contact names" and "Next-word suggestions" in the Google Keyboard Settings.

Didn't understand if "Show correction suggestions" and "Auto-correction" have a part on this trouble yet.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Karly Johnston:
I am on CM 12 right now but when i had the Chinese dev ROM i had no problems either. You might want to try flashing that.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Fahrenheit51:
I tried the original stable ROM from en.miui and I had problems with PlayStore. I did install it successfully using the GoogleInstaller apk but every app showed the msg "Your device is not compatible".

I think i'm gonna try the last weekly build from xiaomi.eu. (Do you think i can dirty-flash it? i'm running the last stable rom from xiaomi.eu)

Would like to wait for a stable CM13 before switching to CM (just to enjoy MIUI a bit more :p )
[XDA Assist] OffSideTech:
After a days of modding with Xposed Framework my ZTE ZMax it has came out to look nearly Brand new (As in UI) but because of the rooting process and the restrictions of the phone /system is a read-only and can only be edited in Recovery. Bloatware from Metro PCS still remains on the phone, I found a post on XDA that has a flashable zip to remove system apps (link below) and after editing the file to remove the apps that I want. Although I have only flashed things onto the the system (SuperSU and a boot animation). I have never removed anything from the /system on this phone and what I would like to know is what are the risks of using a flashable zip file to remove system apps instead of a application from Google Play (I've tried this several times and I have tried mounting /system as Read-Write and nothing works).

Apps I plain to remove: MetroZone, Metro411, MetroAppStore, MetroBlockIt, MetroZone, VirtualVoiceMail and MyMetro

After looking through a few Uninstaller apps from Google Play none of them say any of the apps listed above are essential to the phone. (There not even listed as a Should Keep applications).

If no information can be found about my device then I would request to know if it's safe to use Recovery to remove apps. Thank you.
