[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Radius Kid:
Why would you want to update when 5.1.1 has proven to be such a major headache?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxvris:
So I've been running the same rom for the last ~2 months without issue. Yesterday the radio was dropping several times an hour. sometimes it would come back with data, sometimes not. I decided to wipe cache/dalvik cache. all night and this morning it was fine. around noon the radio dropped again. came back with data and seemed fine. a few hours later it started freaking out. whole screen goes black and slowly pops in with a black background like the launcher restarted. This progressively got worse to the point where I couldn't do anything on the phone.

Once I got home I wiped the phone. upon booting half the screen was black, half with the welcome setup screen. (the black wasn't a straight line, it was choppy across the screen like something out of tetris)

I then tried using the return to stock tool. SAME THING.

I reinstalled TWRP (lost it during the last step). Installed a stock 6.0 MM rom , same issue.

Here's the weird part, the bootloader and TWRP function and run perfect. So i'm inclined to think theres a software issue and not a hardware issue. Any thoughts on this???

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spadz93:
Any way to disable the swipe up required before getting to the pattern unlock? Ideally I'd like to wake the phone and have the pattern unlock screen be the first thing that comes up. I am rooted and have xposed as well, so if anyone has any tips on how to get rid of that extra step, I'm all ears
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunsparc:
Not natively.

GravityBox has an option called Direct Unlock under Lockscreen Tweaks. "Shows security challenge directly when screen turns on". So no more swipe up then enter pin. Also, there's an option in here to Quick Unlock upon entering the correct pin without having to hit "enter". And my favorite Imprint mode "Wake and unlock", which unlocks the phone directly from the fingerprint reader, no other steps required.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spadz93:
I stumbled across that late last night. Definitely achieves what I'm looking for, just a shame it hides the clock as well. I'm running the setting you mentioned, just trying to find a way to keep the clock on the screen
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunsparc:
Why not use Imprint then?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spadz93:
I'm more of a fan of the pattern, but then again this is my first phone where the fingerprint sensor is easily accessible with a case on (coming from a line of samsungs, once you put a case on them the fingerprint scanner was worthless). Maybe I'll go that route
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colinlinton:
I'm on a 6P as well, but I'm running nougat. So is there a solution without using gravity box, as nougat is not compatible with xposed yet? I am currently rooted using magisk, so hopefully there is a mod I am unaware of for that I can use to bypass this.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocMAX:
Hi there,

is anyone aware of a phone similar to Moto G 2014 BUT with much more RAM? (> 3GB)

I can't find any.

Important: Dual-SIM and extra SD card slot. Front facing Stereo speakers. Same rubbish material. Same rounded desing. Notification LED.

Kr,

DocMAX

. Look at the Alcatel Idol 3 (5.5"). It might come close to what you're looking for.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocMAX:
Only 1 and 2 GB RAM :(.

But otherwise ok (good design).
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavireck:
Seriously, who needs 3gb ram on a phone ?

I agree that 1gb isn't always enough (especially when using ram intensive apps like Facebook and messenger) but 3gb ?

Every games I have tried work fine on 2gb.

Unless you use it as a game server, which is rare on a phone, it is completely useless.

That's what I think.

And I am not talking about the cost.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zman01:
Obviously you never had a phone with 3GB of ram. If you have a lot of apps installed it's very nice to have all those apps running in the background without waiting for an app to start when you click on the icon.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavireck:
Obviously it is better !

What I mean is why searching for a phone which doesn't exist or paying hundreds of dollars to buy a phone "because it has 3gb of ram" ?

I have a friend who has a phone with 3gb of ram. It ran just as smooth as my tablet with 2gb.

On this tablet I never quit my apps and I often find a office document still open on background which has not been closed, 3 after and the app is not reloading. It is still in ram.

If I were docMax I would stop searching and I would buy a cheap, good looking phone with 2 gb of ram.

P.S. OK I agree my post wasn't very helpful ;) it didn't help him in his research.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zman01:
Right. :) After bricking my moto g I bought a redmi note 3 which has 3GB of RAM. And sometimes when I use a lot of social media apps and some work related apps like gmail, word, adobe, etc. I have only around 400MB of free ram. But of course 2GB for most users is enough.
[General Questions and Answers] OldTacoman:
Hi

I live in a remote area but I can get 4g through my unlimited data plan. I want to set up a Wi-Fi router tethered to a Verizon Droid Maxx. I currently use EZTether but its quirky (no netflix), I hate the wires and can't share the connection. I would use the hot spot on the phone but don't want to get hit with the charges. I would prefer not to root the phone. Any ideas on how to do something along these lines?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awren:
I've had my 6P for 24 days. I noticed an issue a few days ago but tried to troubleshoot it on my own. The Wifi-Mac address, which is unique to the phone, changes every time I power down the phone. This prevents the use of an automatic sign into local hot spots/school or any network that asks you to enter your devices mac address. (if the mac address changes, it no longer matches what you provided to the network) I'd rather not send my NEW phone off for repair and Best Buy wouldn't exchange it for me since it's past 14 days from purchase.

Is this something simple in the settings? Or am I destined to send it back for warranty repair?

:confused:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:

He is 100% right. I boycotted the S6/Note 5 because of the Exynos chip. I have already pre ordered my S7 and it should be here in a day or so. (i might return it for the edge but that wont hinder development since they are basically the same device)

I know of at least one other dev who is getting a S7 as well, GarwynnXDA who helped me get CM 11 going on the S5 so a bright future should be in store for this device :)

There is NO data file in the zip. If you don't need to wipe it why put a command in your updater-script to do this? I know it does nothing if its missing because there is nothing to flash but it is not needed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] coolbeans2016:
Hello

Hope this thread is not dead! Is this fix for a specific Sprint phone to make work on Boost? Or in general most of them? This has been a major issue for alot of people in the past with experienced dev's on XDA using CDMA Workshop software, etc.....

Back like 4-5 years ago I figured out Boost would activate a Sprint phone by calling customer service and giving the #'s on phone. I was purchasing a phone from local pawn shop and surprisingly, found that all the previous, paid extras the prior owner had would still be working as well!!! As long as the phone wasn't reset! Mobile tv, sports channels, etc...

Did this in front of the pawn shop personal b4 purchase to make sure it would activate, needless to say that process got "burnt" as everyone caught on!

Sorry for such a long run on.... if this is still a good fix, please respond. Looking for my next phone for Boost and have run into even phones listed on the BYOD list being refused by customer service during activation!

Thanks,

zach

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AthlonII240:
I noticed weird battery issues as well, though mine seems to be related to the constantly on LTE cell radio being the bad guy. The below steps helped me as I troubleshooted my issues, maybe they'll help you as well.

I did the following things, and they seemed to make no difference to my situation: Enabled/disabled "Download booster", disabled VoLTE, remove/re-add my WiFi profile, disable/re-enable WiFI Calling, disable/re-enable IPSec passthrough on my router(this is what T-Mobile uses for WiFi Calling).

However, I did do another step after this that has

seemed to make a difference

:

1. Settings

2. "Backup and reset"

3. "Reset settings" NOT FACTORY DATA RESET.

4. Click "RESET SETTINGS".

After that my issue has gone away, and my battery life seems to have improved a fair bit. The nice thing about the above manner of resetting is it just resets network settings, profile settings and app permissions, it doesn't delete apps or personal data. I suspect that my issue was caused by an app permission gone awry as this has fixed my particular issue.

Hopefully this can help someone else.
