I have also got this phone with full Android version with all Google application already installed. So all works really fine.

But I cannot install TWRP on this phone.

The only one version I have got from other users doesn't work (or the phone automatically revert back to standard recovery).

I passed OEM Unlock with no problem (the only trap is that volume up key is changed with volume down e.g. to choose an option in fastboot mode (e.g. to confirm OEM unlock). So, the bootloader is unlocked, but after recovery flash it doesn't work and boot into the OS instead of TWRP.

I tried to do this many times with no success.

So, I rooted phone with KingRoot. It works with no problem and it is full root. I installed AdAway etc.

Can anybody help with TWRP? Do you have some working version for this phone?

Thanks in advance! Regards and Happy New year!
[Android General] fernxtwo:
I have a version of TWRP saved on my Google drive

Here's the link

Try that, it's in Chinese but don't change the language or theme or it won't work
[Android General] zencooler:
I've got this recovery from you (on my gmail) before. But unfortunately it doesn't work on my Qing Cong Metal.

I don't know why, but it is not booting into recovery after flashing (sucessfully!) on my phone... :(

Regards.
[Android General] Eleichstetten:
I had the same issue with the recovery I took from NeedROM.

Then I did allow the "OEM Bootloader change" in Developer Options, then switched off the phone.

Flashed Recovery by usage of SP-FlashTool and did restart directly, after flash process has finished, into recovery.

(By pressing "Power+VolDown")

Hi! I have this phone and i have some trouble. I'm not root.

I have the unknow source off, but sometime i look this option and it is on. This isn't a big problem, the real problem is apps has been installed and i didn't instal them.

I delete and few days later, it has been installed again.

One of them is superb cleaner app. What can i do to repair this problem??

Thank you

Hey guys.

When I was exploring the Internet via chrome my phone has been infected. The new tab opened by itself, phone started to vibrate and page said that my phone is infected and that I should download Antivirus (but this page was similar to other pages with slogans "YOU WON 100K$ CLICK HERE etc.) so I ignored it. Now after every call (only then) Clean Master is saying that I already installed "Games " so I can delete apk file. Sometimes I press YES or sometimes I press No and sometimes it appear on desktop as game (last time it was yahoo logo) sometimes it doesn't. Clean Master Says That is malware with ".bf" extension. I tried every AV, even Avast didn't find anything. I tried also looking for this file by my self but no results (CM Antivirus also find nothing) . (gonna add name of virus for better tagging)

NAME OF VIRUS:

Android .Troj.tb_downloader.bf

Elephone has leaked the news about Elephone S2 Smartphone with Uni-body and Bezel-less screen.

Elephone will release the Elephone S3 handset which is known as uni- body with bezel-less screen. We can only get very little news about Elephone S3 from the leaked photos. It has 2.5d bezel-less design and rear mounted fingerprint scanner. And the body appears to be a curved metal backed uni-body design. It will be also three colors , Rose gold, gold and silver.

So will elephone s3 become the next hit of elephone?

Hi guy's I wanna know if it's possible to install/flash the stock camera app from the official stock ROM on CyanogenMod 12.1 it is?

If it is how? Cause the camera on the cm12.1 have very lowlight and less quality than the stock onde..
[LG Optimus G (International)] KnowNadda:
I am running a CM 12 derivative (Bliss ROM for E970/GEEB) which uses Snapdragon Camera. Not sure it is the same as CM 12.1 but if you search for it one of the hits will be the thread http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/themes-apps/snapdragon-camera-t3213605 which has detailed installation instructions. Reading around it seems that some have gotten it to work without copying lib files.

Another camera that works with my E970 on Bliss (Lollipop) is Open Camera (which is free) from the Play Store
[LG Optimus G (International)] KnowNadda:
Reading for comprehension

Rereading your OP I see you want the stock LG camera. According to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2280974 it is not possible.

I wonder if you combine the Snapdragon camera install instructions with the LG stock files if you might be able to get it working.

Day 2 and amazing so far. Left VZ to stop wasting money on none used data.

Took 5 days to get the invite. Transferring my number went flawlessly and crazy fast. Up and running in under 15 minutes.

Nexus 6P and project fi. I guess I'm all googled up!
[Nexus 6P General] Gizmoe:
I activated today too also leaving verizon. I however have to wait a day or 2 for the number transfer to happen. Did you by chance give them the pin upfront. Because I did not know mine was my social until today when I entered it and it accepted it. Just wondering if that made it instantly activate for you.
[Nexus 6P General] Rainstalk:
It is amazing
[Nexus 6P General] Lepa79:
That's correct, I entered my VZ account info right after the invite request. When I got the SIM card, all information was pre populated, I hit activate and literary like 2 minutes and I get notification that transfer is complete and survive fully active!
[Nexus 6P General] Powell730:
Maybe I should do some more research, but what's so good about project fi? Seems extremely expensive, and limited data plans...
[Nexus 6P General] Gizmoe:
Extremely expensive!? Not sure what your sources are but its really cheap

https://fi.google.com/about/plan/
[Nexus 6P General] Powell730:
Well.. I guess it all depends on your usage. For me.. I was paying around $120 on T-Mobile for unlimited, just jumped to att unlimited and will pay around $100 after discounts... Which, yes, I could spend less on project Fi.. However, if I use more than 10gb/ month, which I often do, then I'm gonna spend just as much or more.

I should have clarified and said for data hungry users, it seems expensive.
[Nexus 6P General] SocksNUrToaster:
I will be switching from Fi to T-Mobile soon..I've had Fi for about 4 months now..I hate the idea of being data conscious.. I work from a van all the time so I rarely have WiFi..and I don't touch my phone because I hate the idea of opening xda developers and spending money on data that I could have saved if I didn't open it..so..yeah. Plus I get random beeps during phone calls which is a confirmed google issue that has been going on with Google voice for years..plus sometimes I have lte and nothing will load..all of that together makes me not want to deal with it anymore unfortunately..
[Nexus 6P General] Gizmoe:
My whole data usage for a month on Verizon is consistently under 1gb. I don't go out of my way to conserve data. I do however have cable internet and a router at home. So for people not using their mobile data as their only internet connection, project fi will be considerably cheaper. So far in my city I have better LTE coverage. This is day one though, but I get the filling coverage is going to be equal if not better.
[Nexus 6P General] Cleva1:
Service is never indicative until after the fourteen day nevertheless that was hoopla. The reality is if you use 2GB or less of data each month now then Fi is for you
[Nexus 6P General] dcillusions77:
Doesn't at&t throttle you after you use a certain amount though?
[Nexus 6P General] MATTHEWLONG:
It's good, can be buggy on custom roms. Expensive for high data use.
[Nexus 6P General] GTiceman:
I used Fi for almost a month before I cancelled. I was on UDP with VZW but got kicked off, my own dumb fault. Fi generally worked well for me, I had to switch my mindset. When I had UDP I never used WiFi ... ever and used my phone to tether when traveling. I had issues with Fi in two spots, one was in the middle of the woods, no surprise there, but VZW worked fine and the other was in Tampa on NYE, my signal indicated good but messages wouldn't send. since I am moving to Tampa in a few months I decided to abandon the Fi for now. I also want to better track my data usage on my VZW family plan for a few months to get a real indication of what I use, which I surmise to be 2-4Gb a month without seeking WiFi out and using WiFi at home. Fi seemed to rarely connect to WiFi automatically, something I expected to happen all the time. I also believe my battery life suffered a bit from the constant network switches and WiFi jumps.

Would I try it again, almost certainly. If you have a Unlimited plan and use it then Fi isn't right for you and Google even says that. If you are in a city, home, or office that has WiFi and you don't use a ton of data Fi is worth a shot. I ported my Google Voice number over and then back without issue.
[Nexus 6P General] zymphad:
Fi is expensive. $70 for 5Gb? It is $65 for 6Gb from T-Mobile plus binge for music and video streaming.

I am still on the $30 5GB plan from T-Mobile with binge on.

For $75 Fi plan, I better be on AT&T or Verizon network, not on the inferior TM or Sprint with some sort of streaming service.

I am disappointed by Fi. I was expecting google to have some sort of best in class hotspot network with cellular to fill in the gaps. Except TM and Sprint have best in class worst coverage outside of major urban areas, makes little sense. I thought Google was going to leverage google fibre network.

I already pay for xfinity and have access to xfinity hotspot frequently enough. So google fi makes no sense to me.
[Nexus 6P General] 2skies:
I just ordered a Fi sim card. Currently I'm on Straight Talk, an AT&T MVNO paying ~$48 for up to 5gb data then throttled after that. I don't think I even use 1-2gb a month because I'm always either at home or on campus with a great Wi-Fi signal. I can only see this as being an issue if I'm streaming Pandora or something via Bluetooth to my car. I'm hopeful.
[Nexus 6P General] boxcar8028:
Welcomw to Project Fi!

I have been with Fi since November 2015 and I love it! The coverage is great in my area (Seattle, WA). Band 12 is great and now I have LTE where I didn’t have before with just T-Mobile. And for me the best part is that I only pay for the data that I actually used.

You may want to join the Project Fi Community in Google+. it's invite only and vary helpful.

You may also want to check out this app, for me, its a must have app for Fi user. :cyclops:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cheekydevs.fiswitch
[Nexus 6P General] Matt K:
I just activated Fi myself. Coming from Sprint using a flip phone.

Fi seemed perfect for my set up since I work from home. It's actually why I was reluctant to switch to a smart phone, since I don't really need one at home and my wife has one for when we're out. But Fi was the same cost for phone service as the family plan I was on (with my parents) and then whatever data I use, which can't be much.
[Nexus 6P General] Gizmoe:
I can't tell the difference in network performance and I switched from Verizon. I agree they need to offer more data for less but at least you get money back for what you don't use. Even if I got on 4gb a month it would still be cheaper than my Verizon family plan. I barely use 1 gig a month though. I did read a rumor that if Fi takes off they will start offering more pricing flexibility and family plans. It is probably more rumor than fact though. But I assume they have a plan.
[Nexus 6P General] techmatlock:
I was interested in Fi and their financing plan for Nexus phones, but I don't want to give up unlimited music streaming on T-Mobile. Plus, I pay $30 a month for Unlimited Talk & Text with 10GB of data. At $30 a month on Fi, you get all that but only start at 1GB of data which isn't enough for me.
[Nexus 6P General] SchmilK:
I paid $26 last month for my FI plan.

I have WiFi at work for 9 hours a day, 15 minute drive each way to work, where I hop on xfiniti WiFi 4 or 6 times, then home on WiFi.

Now it's more of a game to see how little data I can use and make use of all the free WiFi around me.

If I were driving to my previous job at 65 miles each way streaming Netflix, yeah, I probably wouldn't be on fi.

But even if I pay $70 for 5 gb of data, next month if I only use 1gb it's $30 not $70.

No one else credits you back when you don't use data.
[Nexus 6P General] AndrasLOHF:
Proud Fi user here. I do miss my T-Mobile prepaid with unlimited streaming but the WiFi calling handoff and much better coverage area have me on Fi.
[Nexus 6P General] Lepa79:
We all know if you are a data hog and not around wifi most of your time, then project fi is definitely not for you. Otherwise, this service is heaven sent to people with awesome smart phone (cough cough nexus 6p) and don't need to pay a leg and arm for data they are not going to use. I'm happy.
[Nexus 6P General] flex360:
i pay 80 a month for Tmobile unlimited

im good with that. fi sounds nice and all, but i would go crazy watching data all the time

fi is for light users
[Nexus 6P General] Powell730:
They do throttle after 22gb, however, I was told only in congested cities and at peak times.

If this turns out not to be true I'll prolly switch back to T-Mobile as I'm not really out anything... I wasn't in a contract with T-Mobile and I'm not with att now so it's nothing just to switch back.
[Nexus 6P General] Swoh24:
I've been using Fi for about a month (coming from Verizon). Here's my experience.

Cons:

1) At least once a day, my Fi signal will drop, and constantly search for a signal for at least a minute (sometimes I have to flip the data switch). This sucks when I'm trying to use my GPS, listen to music, or check my bank account when I'm in the car.

2) I can't send a text message, or search on the web at the same time. It's a real inconvenience when I'm trying to look up something for someone.

Pros:

1) I only use about 2 to 2.5 gb a month so I always get credit back on my 3 gb bill. My bill is usually no more than $46. It use to be $60 (including fees and discounts) on Verizon.

2) My data usage is tracked by the app, and I can manage my account easily. Verizon's app use to be so buddy.

3) I have not had a dropped call on Fi. Ironically, I use to get dropped all the time on Verizon.

4) Data speeds are equal, if not better, than when I was on Verizon.

Overall: This cheap college student is satisfied. :)
[Nexus 6P General] geoff5093:
I tried Fi for a week. I wanted to use it since I loved the idea of switching carriers, and I thought it would force me to use my phone less (especially when out). First, Sprint coverage sucks in my area, but even if I forced it I could never connect to Sprint, it would just say no data connection. T-Mobile was always stronger anyways. The second issue is I spent even more time on my phone since if I wanted to check something, instead of just doing it I'd look for WiFi first or use a data-saving app like Opera Max. Turns out I spent way more time on my phone than before, and I was constantly checking my data usage. I'd spend time uninstalling apps or blocking those that used background data, and if something updated in the background I'd say "hell that just cost me $x.xx".

I switched to T-Mobile's 5GB for $30 plan. The same service basically, a lot more data, no overages just slowed data, and speed tests and music streaming are free.
[Nexus 6P General] @work:
I love the concept behind Fi, but I regularly use 50+ GB of non WiFi data in a month (I'm constantly on the move) and T-Mobile gives me unlimited for less than a hundie a month. You know, if your FI service is good why not just switch to T-Mobile? I would be surprised if you spent more time on sprints network anyways.
[Nexus 6P General] murso74:
I got fi without reading the fine print to use in Canada and to subsidize a 6p. I didn't realize calls were 20 cents a minute outside the US, and that data was throttled down to ridiculously slow speeds. My own fault, but I'd probably have been better off just switching to T-Mobile
[Nexus 6P General] Grimmity:
Sooooooo, I finally got my 6P AND I got accepted to Project Fi as well.

I have to wait a few more days for my Fi sim but thought that wouldn't be any issue, I'd just use my Sprint sim.... Well damn it, my Sprint sim is not the latest and greatest nano sim. Guess I'll have to use my One Max for a few more days.

Very much looking forward to starting with Fi though. I'll update with my review of it once I've had a week or two or use.

Edit: I'm thinking that Google's WiFi balloons will play into the whole Fi project down the road and will potentially make data usage go down even further because you'll pretty much always be connected to WiFi
[Nexus 6P General] jpeg42:
First, for 50+ GB a month, yeah, Fi is certainly not for you. Wow. That would be $500+ on Fi. I use about 250MB - 1GB per month. So it is perfect for me.

As for why not switch to T-mo? Well, several reasons:

1) T-mo coverage sucks at my house, but is great at my work. Sprint is great at my house, sucks at my work. It swaps seamlessly.

2) Hangouts integration with my phone number is totally awesome. Calls/texts all come to my computer or my phone.

3) International travel has been awesome. Not sure how it is with Tmo, but Fi lets you know what your rates will be when you arrive at a new country. Data is still the same price. Call prices vary, but are cheap. No swapping sims.

4) Wifi assist is nice when you can find it. Connects to strong open Wifi with a VPN.

5) Customer service is amazing, both supporting my Nexus 6p with any issues, as well as any issues with the service.

6) They send free stuff (legos, chargers), credit you when you have issues, and have a great community

7) Free 2 year financing on my 6p

8) They don't have any bull**** hoops. Tmo's plans are confusing as hell. I never know what I am going to be charged for data wise. I respect net neutrality and want all my data to be treated equal

9) I only get charged for what I use. So 250 MB a month is $2.50. That's it.

10) It is cool to be part of a growing service. Google Fiber will be in my city within 2-3 years. And I do believe Fi will be part of Google's overall plan and package here.
[Nexus 6P General] @work:
Yeah in your reception situation I can see why that's a good choice. The features your describing aside from WiFi and free stuff are all T-Mobile features. Including global roaming. And T-Mobile plans are simple, pay $80~ get unlimited everything
[Nexus 6P General] SirVilhelm:
I've been on fi for the three months, came from Verizon as well. I am really impressed by T-Mobile, my coverage is just as good if not better than Verizon where I am at in Orange County, CA.

I was around $90/month on Verizon and my least fi bill was $31. Not bad at all. And their support is first class.
[Nexus 6P General] FoxyDrew:
In my opinion Fi isn't as good as it could be. I used it for a month and got less than expected.

I currently use MetroPCS, which uses T-mobiles cell towers, and I get great reception. I also get LTE speeds of over 80Mbp/s down which is amazing, not to mention I get an unlimited amount of data for $55 a month.

Fi, also on T-Mobiles towers (and Sprint of course) I struggled to get 30Mbp/s in the same area. I had an app to check if I was on T-Mobile or Sprint and I was on T-Mobile 99% of the time because Sprint has horrible service in my area. I don't know why but I'm afraid T-Mobile might just favor thier T-Mobile and MetroPCS customers more than the one's using thier network through Fi.

I do miss FI's ability to send texts over WiFi as there is open WiFi in every room in my school, but no signal in that brick ancient building. But MetroPCS just seems the better option. I am also out of the house a lot so data usage is very high mostly because social media apps eat through it.

Also I upgrade my phone every year, and maybe next years Nexus doesn't deliver what i want? Then I would have to switch off Fi. For me not a big deal but for other people it may be.

On Metro (Don't have any ss's of when I was on Fi)
[Nexus 6P General] @work:
Google voice integration and text over wifi isn't a Fi exclusive feature either. Any Google voice user can do that and I've been doing it for years across all major carriers. T-Mobile also does it over wifi outnof the box. I guess I'm just surprised to read the word sprint and good reception in any sentence. That does not go "spring does not have good reception"
[Nexus 6P General] jpeg42:
Can't find that on their site? Have a link for the simple $80 unlimited everything with free international roaming?
[Nexus 6P General] Wickidmasshole:
I finally left AT&T after 10 years, i was paying about 100-120 a month, swapped over to cricket (same exact service for less then half the price, not even kidding) and its been the best god damn choice ive made. I was a little worried about the download cap speed but 8mb/sec is more then enough to stream you tube and netflix in 1080 with no buffering at all.

Fi does interest me, but i can almost reach 10GB a month if im lazy and dont sign into the wifi at work, So i think it could get pricey for me. Then again, like a commentor said a few pages back, it could be a fun game to see how little data i could use a month by utilizing all the wifi around me......
[Nexus 6P General] Gizmoe:
Well after a few days I can say in my city Fi coverage is far superior to Verizon and ATT. The major carriers must only focus on 1m plus populated cities. I have had both major carriers and neither have ever worked at my house and were spotty at work. On Fi I finally have full bars at both work and home with 50mb down and 12mb up LTE. I also never drop to 3g all the time like on verizon. Also my battery is lasting longer as a result of not searching for a signal all the time. I can say I am very happy with the service. It exceeded my expectations.
[Nexus 6P General] @work:
Looks like Im lucky, i locked min in at $80 a month and get a corp discount its 95 now and there is no contract, If you click on shop plans it tells you all of these things, it tells you that you have international roaming but if you seach for international roaming and type in a country it will show you that the majority of the civilized world has unlimited data. included. any plan above 3gb also includes unlimited video and music so if the majority of your data comes from that then you wont need an unlimited plan. if you pay a one time deposit of $25 tmobile will also send you either a wifi router for wifi calling at home or a 4g femto cell for use at home, just in case you have poor reception at home or office.
