[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inZillaWeTrust:
So I got my Nexus 6P yesterday and the first thing I did was unlock the bootloader and root. However I just noticed this morning that I no longer have access to the camera. If I open the camera app it just shows a black screen with the camera symbol in the middle and Snapchat just gives me a black screen. The only things I have done were u lock bootloader, Root and I changed my DPI to 400. I've tried reboots and clearing data/cache from both Snapchat and my camera app with no success.

This is almost surely correct. Had the same issue a few patches back. Reflash the factory image and then use systemless root, or find the correct boot.img for your version, assuming one exists.

Hi everybody, sorry to bother you.

My name is Diego, i live in Argentina.

I bought my cell 2 days ago and it´s a US phone, an AT&T one. It´s full of garbage, 15 apps of ATT and more stuff like that.

I need to install/flash a stock rom asap.

I was looking all the guides and i´m really confused. I come from Samsung, it seems to me more easy than this (or maybe it´s just a question of time xD). In adittion of all this, english is not my native language ... so. I want to ask you for help.

I need that you guide me, simple steps, in order to achive my goal: a stock rom.

Please, can you do that for me?

Thanks a lot.​

Can you help me please?

I'm running the latest version of stock on my Asus Z300C. My accounts only sync immediately after rebooting. This includes three Google accounts (including two managed accounts) and one Evernote account.

Hello Guys, :)

since i saw a a bunch of posts with: "Help stucked on bootlogo" , "wiped OS", etc. ,

and i've done it by my selfe ^^ :P,

I found the answer, so you need a working TWRP, and a SD-Card with a good /dload folder.

Go to the TWRP with power on key and at the same time vol + (up).

Now go to Reboot and Bootloader :)

now you flash the standard recovery.

Like you flashed the TWRP just with the restoration Recovery.img .

All you need is inside of this link provided by Hirs_E_Fruit from his Root Guide.

If you have finaly done flashing the stock recovery you can shutdown your phone and start it with power key + vol+ and vol-

all three at the same time for a solid amout of time :P idk about 8 sek or so i normaly release the power key after 5 seconds +-.

yea then you should see a blue circle a usb plug in middel of it and some chinese writing.

Hope this will help someone :)

Have Fun and Good Luck

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] omeryounos:
So Facebook (Oculus) has come up big time supporting Samsung. Let's discuss everything related to VR hardware and S7 related experience here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] omeryounos:
Free VR headset for all S7 and S7 edge pre-orders in US and Europe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
Well VR on 1440p just sucks. Samsung could have brought out 4k, that would have been a huge improvement, but on 1440p you can even see subpixels. Hopefully the s7 edge+ will be 4k, then VR will start to become interesting I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] omeryounos:
I think that's the limitation of the screen and SOC. I don't think that even exynos 8890 or SD820 could handle 4K with reasonable frame rates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
Sony's Z5 has 4k and that's based on an 810, so the above soc's should easily be able to handle 4k. I'm really not sure why nobody seems to bring out 4k screens this year. It would take VR to a new level. Yes, at 4k ,you'd still see pixels, but it would be a huge upgrade and a LOT better VR experience. This whole '1st gen' VR just sucks. I guess we'll have to wait to 2017 though to see a better VR gen appear, maybe the oculus 2 then.

It kinda pisses me off though. I mean who cares about a slightly better camera, a slightly faster cpu. That's not the stuff that matters anymore. My Nexus 6p shoots perfect pictures and everything sails perfectly smooth. But VR just still sucks and everyone that has tried the current VR generation at least has seen the potential that this has. This is going to be huge. But not just this year because the manufacturers dont care about it. I dont get that at all .... If the S7 would have had 4k, I would have bought it without thinking twice ! But now, why the hell should I buy a phone that's only slightly better/faster than what I have now ? (one could even argue that the Nexus 6p is better, I'm pretty sure the interface at least is smoother). So without 4k, no reason to upgrade at all. [/end of rant] ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Toss3:
Your Nexus 6P takes perfect pictures? Pretty sure it doesn't in low light situations. The new phones that come out also aren't really aimed at those with newer phones, but for those that haven't upgraded in the last two years. 4K for VR would be awesome, but I'm sure Oculus were the ones that didn't want the Gear VR to provide a better experience than what you get on the rift. Also not sure if Samsung have any <6" 4k amoled screens at this point that are good enough for VR/Smartphones :confused:. I figured I would switch from my Note 4 to the S7 Edge with the free Gear VR, as that will hold me over until we get 4k screens with the S8 and Note 7. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
What makes you say that ? The nexus 6p was optimized for low light (just like the s7 is now), and was until the s7 THE best phone for low light photos: http://imgur.com/a/dfgLs

Sure the S7 probably is slightly better but I dont care, I'm not a photo purist. My nexus 6p shoots very nice low light photo's and that's all I care about.

Yeah that's what I figure too. It must have been a deal between samsung and Oculus/facebook. Zuckerberg knew that if the S7 would feature 4k, it would KILL the oculus and that's why they made a deal. Gear VR is a joint project between them anyway and Zuckerberg also spoke during the Samsung S7 presentation so they're good 'friends' nowadays anyway. Really really too bad. The joke would be huge if Apple decided to feature the iphone 7 with 4k and go from nowhere to the leading position in the VR race :) It would become my first iphone then ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mathieulh:
the Z5 uses an IPS LCD display, which have very bad response times for VR. UHD amoled displays are just too expensive at this time.

You would need a 8K panel to not see the sub pixels because oculus use magnifying lenses (which is an ugly hack) to artificially increase the FOV.

By comparison, if you use a HMZ-T3 HMD, even through it uses 2 720p micro OLED panels (which btw is a much better solution than one 1440p OLED panel, though more expensive), you don't see any sub pixels even at 720p resolution, so no screen door effect, unlike the Gear VR and Oculus Rift

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

More like, the VR is still a niche market and regular users are totally content with 1440p 5.5" panels on their phones, there aren't enough VR users out there for Samsung to justify the cost and 2160p vs 1440p on a cell phone panel is more of a gimmick than anything else to anyone but VR users.

Finally, VR games are GPU intensive, it costs a lot of power (read battery) and dissipates a lot of heat (which you need to constantly keep under a certain temperature) to drive a VR game or app at 2160p (or higher).

A 2160p panel would make much more sense on the actual RIFT device that can be driven by proper GPU architectures (Pascal or Polaris coming in 2016), that said, Oculus have to do with what they are given, and Samsung isn't producing small sized 4K OLED panels, in fact there isn't enough demand on the Rift to justify the production of a custom panel for it, not to mention it's already overpriced enough as it is (€750 in Europe, which is a joke...Good luck targeting mainstream consumers with prices like that)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
Yes and you'd need 8k *per eye* to stop seeing pixels at all, I know. But still, 4k would be a huge upgrade over 1440p. If I play a 1080p VR movie or a 1440p, that's a huge difference already in the whole expierence (1080p just really sucks, 1440p is just bearable in my opinion). The coming years we'll see every year a better and better experience up till the point when we've reached that 8k per eye in combo with low response rate. It's a gradual process. But that's why I'm a bit pissed that another year seems to be thrown away now nobody is implementing 4k this year. I just cant wait man :) VR is going to be huge, everybody who tried gear VR knows that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
It's a chicken-egg dilemma. Samsung now seems to have chosen the strategy to first get more people into VR (the whole s7 presentation was built up around VR and they're giving away free gear vr's now with pre-orders). But not offering a good experience, by offering 1440p, most likely wont attract huge interest. My collegue for example was really excited about VR coming but when he tried the current gen his excitement was totally gone. And I must say my own experience was quite similar. In my opinion the current VR gen is just a promise of better days to come: you can see what it can do but just at very low quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mathieulh:
Try the Sony HMZ series and you will see what a good HMD is like (sub pixels can't be seen at all, you feel like in front of a 130" screen), that said, no VR on those since you only have a 45° FOV and no head tracking. At least they don't compromise the FOV for image distortion and screen door effects though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
Well, maybe 2016 will be a lost year in the VR world, but things WILL get interesting the coming years, if samsung can get indeed 11k displays for phones ready by 2018: http://www.mobilechoiceuk.com/News/...a-11k-screen-samsungs-on-it.aspx#.Vhd8iDYVjIU

I think (a modification to) Sony's Z5 approach is going to be the right way. in non-VR usage these phones should render 1440p but when connected to a VR headset, the higher resolutions should become enabled. I think that's going to be the way of the future.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
For 100 USD/EUR no, it doesn't suck at all.

In will only be lost for you, everybody else will enjoy the technology.

I suppose you never watched TV until Full HD became available. Well...your loss :)

Your remarks remind me of the fox and sour grapes. VR is here and you have very limited options with your Huawei phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] chong67:
How much can the VR sell for?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shocky2:
1440p/2 is just about bearable for VR, Samsung are not looking to directly compete with Oculus Rift, this entry level VR so the experience reflects that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaq1907:
Will Samsung give Gear VR or Gear VR2 with pre-orders? Do anyone know?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
So you call seeing sub-pixels and lag that makes you nauseous actually a good experience ? Good for you then.

LOL, you never heard of google cardboard ? I have this one http://www.homido.com/ (which actually isnt even cardboard cause it doesnt feature the cardboard button) but there are so many different (cardboard based) VR goggles out there, anyone with a smartphone can have VR and has a zillion options, just check out Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=vr+goggles

But it doesnt matter which headset you're using, they all just s*ck cause 1440p is the max that's currently out there. Sony's Z5 is the only phone with a 4k display out there but those engineers at Sony made it so you cant use 4k for VR, not sure what they were thinking there ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
Agreed that it's about bearable. Obviously when they designed the Gear VR together with Oculus, they agreed not to compete with them and dont bring 4k to the consumer just yet. It's business I get that. I just wish they hadnt made such a deal would have pushed full power forwards. Cause now Samsung doesnt do it, I dont see nobody else doing it neither, at least not in 2016 ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
Oculus Rift resolution per eye: 1200x1080.

Gear VR resolution per eye: 1440x1280.

Surprise...Gear VR has better resolution than the best VR solution available.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] nizmoz15:
I am replacing my iPhone 5S with a new work phone. I personally carry a Note 5 with me for my personal stuff, but I don't want an iPhone for work any more. Now they allow android devices which have to be purchased directly from AT&T. So, I have waited past my time of replacing it to see the new S7 and G5. I am not wanting to carry two large phones with me (S7 Edge and my Note 5). So one smaller would help. I really wanted them to keep the size of the S6 edge, but that was one thing that made me sad to see.

Any recommendations between them you guys can help with?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] osmosizzz:
Have to be honest, as compared to the s6 line where the edge didn't really provide much of an advantage compared to the regular s6, this time around you're not only getting a nicer design, you're also getting a bigger display and a bigger battery. If you don't want to carry something large then go for the s7 non edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] nizmoz15:
I like honesty. :) Well my work phone is on my belt, and I carry my Note 5 in my pocket. So sizes probably wouldn't be that bad having it on my belt either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] osmosizzz:
Get the edge. It'll be more expensive by about 80 bucks but you'll enjoy the larger battery for sure. We're looking at 3000mah to 3600mah. Definitely worth the extra 80 bucks.

Hi,

I've had a FireTV lying around gathering dust for quite some time, waiting for a solution to root it.

I managed to root it the other day, and have been looking at the voice search feature.

After reversing some code, I found the actual voice search is handled by com.amazon.vizzini.apk

The SearchOverlay.class has this piece of code, which calls back to the amazon fireTV UI.

Intent localIntent = new Intent();

localIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.amazon.tv.launcher", "com.amazon.tv.launcher.ui.SearchResultsActivity"));

localIntent.putExtra("identifier", null);

localIntent.addFlags(402653184);

localIntent.putExtra("term", str);

localIntent.putExtra("text", str);

localIntent.putExtra("source", "VOICE");

localContext.startActivity(localIntent);

I wrote a small app, and replaced the amazon FireTV UI with my own app for testing :)

Proof of concept below, next step is to see if I can get it to push text to KODI :D
