This Vulcan OTA build has the same problems with WiFi as the first MM 4.0 update for my LTE ROW with Y01 battery. The problems were fixed in the re-released version of the 4.0 update but when flashing this OTA the problems are back. I just wanted to confirm this, so if you had these problems you better wait for the official OTA with Vulcan support.
[Shield Tablet General] skooter32:
Yea and on the k1 miscellaneous is back a contacted Nvidia Customer Services and was told that they know about this bug and when they release the final image it will be fixed lol
[Shield Tablet General] yreham:
Can you rearrange quick setting tiles on the fly and access power menu by long press on back button?
[Shield Tablet General] pyro9219:
Anyone else missing the camera app using the current OTA?
[Shield Tablet General] Freshi87:
No,it is still there and works fine

Anyone having random reboots when the tablet is in deep sleep? Mine does 3-4 times a day
[Shield Tablet General] THEHOLYG0D:
Using Bit kernel?
[Shield Tablet General] afilbit:
Yes. Known problem?
[Shield Tablet General] THEHOLYG0D:
Happens to me too on that kernel, i don't know why, if you want to solve the problem dirty flash the zip if you have, you won't lose any data, and report it to the kernel thread with logcat if possible, happened to me on Bliss 6.2 and also on Resurrection Remix

I am finally able to enjoy MM Vulcan update on my Shield tablet US-LTE!!! Before I used the link provided here but later on a downgraded to lollipop and "subscribed for an update" (I used hypothetical company and the still sent me an OTA update haha). At least with this, I don't need to wait for At&t certification just to get MM update for my Shield. During the installation, don't worry about your saved data and settings. It will be OK.

Speed is awesome but I hated the SD card and USB-OTG write permissions of the OS. But I've seen a forum in geforce about how to workaround this. Basically when you insert the SD card for the first time and choose portable, the system will format it as exfat. Writing on it won't work. So just remove it and format it in your computer as fat32. Now Windows do not format to fat32 for any storage beyond 32gb. So what I did with my 64gb sandisk is to format it using a command line program called fat32format (just Google it). Do the same for USB OTGs (for now, only fat32 format works!)

Some notable observations:

Android 6.0.1!

Smoother operation

Landscape buttons can be annoying, need getting used to

Camera is surprisingly better, no FC so far, packed with more features

Antutu 91k+!!!!

Battery management seems better

Doesn't occassionally freeze unlike 5.1.1

No mobile internet button in quick settings

Close all button in recent apps

So far, this is it! Anyone who's afraid to shift has nothing to worry about. The reformatting part maybe annoying, but once you've passed that, it's like lollipop improved!

If any of you have other observations especially in conjunction with some apps, let me know. :)

For now, I will opt for a clean version (no root, bootloader locked). Before I've tried to root and unlock bootloader to enable the hidden multi window. It made my system unstable).
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Damn it, had I known it was just cuz of the file format system early, I would've save myself a lot of grief. Formatting it to fat32 using the fat32format program does indeed work for MM. Won't be putting any files above 2gb but that's not a concern for me. Lol Thanks for the tip man!

Vulcan on the US LTE is sweet. Running it for around a week now and no issues what so ever. Even connecting via 4G in Australia, zero issues..

Vulkan 5.0 Update

Hi guys. Some people here who were still using the developers preview version for all variants reported of a OTA for ANDROID N!!!

Since the Developer Preview sign up has already ended, we can't get a fresh update. Also the links above are no longer working so we can't go back to the the Preview version.

Anyone kind enough to provide link of your saved copies of Developers preview for wifii, lte-row and lte-us pls? ;)
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
interesting.. Not seen anything from Nvidia about it. They usually notify if there's a preview version out.
[Shield Tablet General] :
Not possible. NDA.
[Shield Tablet General] An Droid:
I've tried querying the OTA server with the correct information as if the Vulcan preview was still installed, but it returns the 4.1 update as the next update - can't trigger a new preview build.

Likely need a serial number that's registered for the preview builds rather than just the preview build installed.
[Shield Tablet General] :
Yep
[Shield Tablet General] Son-j:
Can anyone map out the build number from Vulkan Preview to the latest? Prior to getting updated with 5.0 Preview? :)

I think it's a combination of serial number and build number

October 6th:

Im working on the website now for us. I'll be changing this thread from "gauging interest" to the "development thread" for users of the portal to post comments and such on this thread.
[Wing, P4350 General] itje:
a good idea my friend, but a question:

A webpage containing info for herald users, or a kind of startportal with links?

If so, that is a good idea, because there is portals, like htc's one, but it sucks big time, there is never any new stuff there, and the links provided is not so good.

I have done alot of webdesign myself, but im a better graphics designer then a coder :) so if you need help, just say so :)
[Wing, P4350 General] neptune:
Great idea, am also a web page designer and would be glad to update the page with new links as they found.

A few basics to start with would be good such as:

blogs in mobile version (engadgetmobile,gizmodo,msmobiles,modaco...)

not sure if its possible but some sort of e-mail client would be nice such as google has done with their homepage.

ofcourse you can't forget to add your fav vidz for the week or month (or atleast what you would type to search cuz everyone uses their own means for viewing videos)

of course everyone would love to see some apps on there (i'm guessing if this became widespread you could only add freeware)

the main one would be a link to the herald forum here on xda dev (im sure i ain't the only who would use this)

Thats all I can think of now, keep us updated and I'll b glad to help with anything that I can.

Great idea btw

cheers
[Wing, P4350 General] TylerC161:
Yes, more of a portal idea.

I'll get to work on it tonight!

Please share links you believe would be of value to have in this portal.
[Wing, P4350 General] TylerC161:
Suggestions anyone?
[Wing, P4350 General] JLine05:
I second those ideas! Joystiq.com blog would be awesome.
[Wing, P4350 General] xsillence:
I can offer you webspace so you don't have to use your school's server. I can also register a domain. Let me know if you need anything. Send me a PM and we can discuss things. Good idea you have there.
[Wing, P4350 General] Tha1nOnly:
id like to built a small, only herald based forum. if you got a webspace with php imma do my best to get a fresh designed mobile device board ;)
[Wing, P4350 General] TylerC161:
Sounds good man!!!

Can you rigester .com's?

In this event, I'd like to leave suggestions open for website ideas..

www.HTCPortal.com?

Whats nice is, this could be used by ALL browsers of XDA, not just us Herald guys.

Tha1nonly,

If you would like to design a forum that will run in 320x240 that we can post messages from our device, that would be AWESOME! Let me know what you plan on doing with that, and I'll be sure to include the link in my portal.
[Wing, P4350 General] xsillence:
Yes, of course. Send me a PM
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
It is almost a year since I got my N6 from Verizon. I would want to upgrade by December. Are the alleged Nexuses from HTC worth it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Your question is a bit premature. Until the upcoming Nexus phones are released, there's no way to know whether they will be "worth" it or not.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
and you know for a fact that htc is building the next nexus? its a rumor btw.. until there is solid proof. only nexus that htc built was the nexus one. and it was worth it, especially for the time. and it even was the first smartphone to make it to space :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
I have no insider information, so yes it is the current rumor. Are there any others?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seabro01:
Another rumor is that HTC and Huawei will manufacture the next Nexus devices but they'd be designed by Google.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
If it comes with a SD820 processor then sure.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
Will VZW sell a Huawei phone and/or allow it on their network? I got burned last year with a phone from Moto, that at that time, could not activate.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroy97:
Considering how the current Nexus phones are only available in the Google store, VZW should allow it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
I could ask my VZW store before I buy it, but they are not the most knowledgeable about that sort of thing.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroy97:
Lol calm down, they just released two new ones, still lots of time until the new one comes out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
Never hurts to plan ahead and get some advice, here. Maybe they will be announced at MWC?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I would relax a bit guys. We have almost 6 MO the before the next nexus comes out.

I wouldn't be surprised if HTC does build it. Huawei on the other hand. Not very likely as the 6p was one of the worst selling nexus devices and most people refused to by it just because of who made it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
Six month for every carrier but Verizon. Should one expect 2 models?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Im not sure google will make that mistake again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiffan86:
Verizon or two models lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Either one. Due to the nature of Verizons network any AOSP device is gonna have trouble. Also Google will not make the same mistake of 2 nexus devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
Google could have learned its session, but we will see. Verizon may sell none of them but allow them on their network, to eventually sell one of them. Did Verizon sl the 5X?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
To be honest I am not sure. Verizon is not here.

Their biggest issue is the open source licensing. Alot of the telephone stuff for working on CDMA is closed sourced so it is hard to make it open source.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
My view is Verizon wants as much control as possible and the Nexus phones give the user too much freedom
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
While this is true, the basics are that the stuff to run the phone operations on CDMA network are all closed sourced. So you cant really release a device that is supposed to be completely open source running a CDMA network. Thats why there are always issues with nexus devices and CDMA networks. You see the same thing with sprint the last few CDMA networks in the world as most use the updated GSM network.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
That is clearly part of the reason. Still would be nice to see the

Nexuses released on all major US carriers around the same time this year.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dartdog:
It seems that Marshmellow on the N-6 does not have the same level of protection as Apple, that is that one can keep on trying to get the boot code to unlock without risking the phone self erasing. Is there a solution? Or is my understanding incorrect?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it sure soes wipe your phone, but i dont remember how many tries you get. its either less than or more than 10.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dartdog:
Is it documented anywhere? I have not seen it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
I had an iPhone before. iOS is the only OS that will automatically wipe the phone after 10 wrong attempts at the pin code or whatever password you have set. I used to have this before, but I removed it b/c I would often get it wrong multiple times after extreme intoxication.

IMO, I don't think the FBI is wrong in what they are asking and it's a shame it's being politicized. The FBI is asking for basically 3 things:

1. If there's an auto-wipe, take it off.

2. Set the phone up so it can have password attempts done via a computer. Apple phones are set up so you have to press with your finger the passcode.

3. Remove delay permanently. If the password is wrong, the phone delays for 10 seconds, then a minute, then etc......there's a cumulative delay for wrong password attempts.

That's it. The FBI says they will run a bruteforce script. All they want to do is plug the phone in and let it run without some of the security features.

That's not unreasonable. Apple's not even being asked to open it, the FBI said they will run their script. It's incredible the amount of misinformation that's spread about the issue.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dartdog:
I understand what it is about and respectfully disagree with your position. Once the method is available it could well be used by repressive regimes.

It also compromises the entire concept of encryption and if that fails it will even impact our own military negatively. Already Our weak encryption has resulted in Drone intercepts. The situation is worse that generally understood by the public.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroy97:
They're acting as if the backdoor developed by Apple would be massly sold off to others. In order for Apple to do a project like this, they'd need to keep it under tight wraps with a limited number of programmers, this also shows they don't trust their own employees.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alryder:
It's not their employees they don't trust to keep this under tight wraps, it's the government. Once this is in the hands of the government it might as well be published on a public website because IT WILL get leaked/hacked/stolen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Without getting too political, that's why there will always be jobs in politics. This argument very closely mirrors the gun control issue and the idea that the Government is over-reaching somehow.

There's a lot of "if's" .....if hackers get it, if it falls into the wrong hands, if this, if that.....lots of "could happen" scenarios.....yet we already know a scenario that DID happen. 14 people got shot up and it's very possible the 2 were in communication with others. That's an issue that needs to be addressed TODAY.

Apple is unique in that they control both the hardware and software. I do not agree with their stance and PRESUMABLY if somehow there is a control to bypass the encryption, Apple can change it's process both in the hardware and software at some point later in the future. There are security breaches all the time and systems are modified. Things change. People act like it's the end all be all magic key. Of course not, Apple can change their processes if needed. It's not a key either, it's a modification to the existing iOS.

Also, what's not being talked about is how Apple is REFUSING to comply with a Federal judge's order. That's not a suggestion or "recommendation" it's an order. Any other small company or individual who refuses judicial orders go to prison. Apple obviously plays by a different set of rules than everyone else.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I found this post by a user named "Kicking and Screaming" in the comments section on the Yahoo! Tech article regarding the government filing a motion to compel Apple to comply with the phone order.

Apple is not wanting a repeat of the mass surveillance of all citizens that occurred thanks to government overstepping its authority, which is why it has drawn a line in the sand here. However, the government became used to all that warrantless surveillance on Joe Terrorist, on you, and on me, and they want that warrantless surveillance again. The government is against encryption of private devices in general simply because it makes their job harder. The proof is in this case, where the FBI has had two months with the phone and hasn't been able to break the encryption.

So now the FBI is seeking to compel Apple to modify iOS to eliminate limits on brute force attacks. Sounds reasonable, right? After all, we have assurances from the FBI that the modified firmware will never be duplicated or used again after this incident. The question to ask yourself is, "do you really believe that?"

Should Apple be forced to modify the iOS firmware for this device, the effects in the future will be far-reaching. Neither you nor I would have any measure of privacy, as this would set a precedent whereby the government could snoop about your personal data as it desired by asking for a modified firmware to circumvent encryption. This appears to run counter to the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution, wherein we are protected from unreasonable search and seizure. It would certainly make us no better than China, and would only hasten the dismantling of the Constitution that has been happening for years.

Apple should NOT comply, as any law - no matter how altruistic or limited in scope - which tramples upon the rights of the citizens is an unjust law.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dartdog:
Well it seems no one has an answer to my original question, a Document reference that says if A Nexus phone will auto erase after a number of failed Pin attempts on the boot??
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
From appearances, this is an anti-theft feature added to some Verizon and US Cellular devices, notably Samsung, but is not present on the Nexus 6 from what I can see. In fact, in my device the only function that comes close is in the device administrators, where I can remotely wipe the device.

If you want that added security, take a look at this page.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
What the FBI is asking for is meaningless. Fact is, that they could find a competent engineer to RE the software and build the changes in themselves. They don't need apple to do the work for them.

Also, there are a number of problems with the apple position;

1) In order for this adjustment to become an attack, there needs to be a way to INSTALL it, which everybody knows, is not a simple task.

- apple does not allow downgrades, so provide a single-version bump for the target phone, and a two-version bump for everything else.

2) Unless the FBI suddenly has a supercomputer from the year 3916, they shouldn't be able to brute force it, unless there is a fundamental failure in the crypto used on the phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:

There may be a constitutional violation in what the FBI asks Apple to do.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papanut:
I don't know the answer but at any rate I have an app on my phone that will wipe the phone and I can set the number of unlock tries I want, it's called locker by zygote labs.

I also have an older app called "in the clear" that will wipe contacts, photo's, call log, sms log, calendar and SD card, with this one I just open the app and select "wipe".
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Off the top of my head, a couple of the features that *are* present on Nexus regarding login security, are as follows;

After too many tries, it will lock you out for a while,

After factory reset, you need to log in using the *google account credentials* matching a google account that was on the device before the reset. I believe that this expires some number of hours after the factory reset, 72 hours comes to mind...?

** EDIT: CDD Section 9.11: MUST rate limit login attempts, SHOULD use exponential backoff algorithm as per AOSP. What that means, is that the lockout time grows to the power of the number of tries.

1 try = 10 seconds,

2 tries = 10^2 = 100 seconds,

3 tries = 10^3 = 1,000 seconds,

4 tries = 10^4 = 10,000 seconds,

...

100 tries = 10^100 = 1x10^100 seconds = 3x10^92 years = the sun will be a cold dead rock LONG before this expires.

Now I believe that this applies both to the lock screen, AND to the bootup decrypt (if applicable). BUT, like with all things, just power it off, pull and dump the chip, and run your brute force against it. Thing is, the computational power needed to brute force it is way beyond the abilities of even the NSA.

The 72 hour thing is if you reset your Google password you won't be able to login to a reset device for 72hours
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiffan86:
In my own findings, on bootup, after 10 tries, it asked me to reboot to try again. On my lock screen, after 5 tries it locked out for 30 sec, after 10 another 30 sec, every time after was a 30 sec lockout. I'm running Krexus, so I'm unsure if stock is different.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joao Oliveira:
Hello.

Can someone explain me how on earth does fart charging works on this device?

I've tried the included cable and charger, third party chargers and i don't see any fast charging going on?!? or any indication on screen that it's happening.

I've read somewhere that you need a special cable to use with the included charger (?!?!) is this true? where do you get this cable?

Phone is amazing but the charging part is really is really weird if you ask me.

Thanks.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowihel2012:

it is quite fast :cool:
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joao Oliveira:
do you get any message saying fast charging?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbmc83:
it doesnt show any fast charging message, so i wouldnt rely on such a message to make sure its working. just use the included cable and charger and ull be fine :) it takes about 2.5 hours to charge from 0-100% via fastcharge
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowihel2012:
no :confused:
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joao Oliveira:
Yeah ...That's why I asked. I plugged a meter to the charger and never saw it go more than 5v 2a.

I think it needs a special cable for the 9v but I can't find any info.

2.5h is not fast charge. My old s6 edge plus used to take around 70-80 m from 5-100% if if you put the remaining 1000mah shouldn't take that long lol
