[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
Hi everyone,

I owned the 5x for a week and returned it because the performance was just not cutting it for me. In particular, I'd get annoying delays with the onscreen nav buttons, and especially with opening and closing the camera. I've been using a G4 since then and am mostly happy, but I still have the Nexus itch and I'm really missing the 5x's hardware.

I'm reading a lot about how the March update is supposed to fix the performance issues the 5x has had, but I haven't seen anything from any 5x owners in terms of whether the update is actually improving the experience of using the phone. Can anyone share their experiences with the new update? I'm thinking about possibly going back to the 5x but I don't want to do if if there are still performance issues.

Also the haptic feedback on the phone was the worst I've ever experienced with any phone. It was extremely weak while at the same time being accompanied by a very noticeably audible buzzing sound. I'm wondering if that's a common issue or if maybe I had a bad unit.

Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.s.deviate:
I'm running the new 19J build, fully stock. I can say with certainty that it is indeed quicker. Apps open much faster, camera opens as fast as my 6p. Haptic feedback is the same tho. My unit also has the loud noise to it, but I'm used to it now. Overall I feel the performance is better than most aosp roms available.

I was on the fence between my 5x and 6p because of the speed the 6p but with this update my 5x is just as fast with daily use. I don't believe in benchmarks so I didn't run one. I did notice tho that the 5x can now process HDR photos much faster. I'm now selling my 6p and sticking with my 5x.

This is just my experience, before the 5x I did have the g4. I don't miss it.

Greetings,

I have purchased my phone for over one month. I enjoyed it but I hate it that there is no available root support for this phone like towelroot.

If anyone could show me a way to root this phone using the phone itself, or through mac os, that will be a great help. I don't have a pc.

Google released a Preview of Android N for our loved Pixel!

Source: http://developer.android.com/preview/download.html#device-preview

Someone already flashed it?

[Pixel C General] bill3508:
Yeah its running fine.
[Pixel C General] amigo80:
Yes I have, it seem to be working fine, I am happy about spilt screen, but wifi seem to worse then with the Xceed kernel, but I need to do more testing.
[Pixel C General] spybyscript:
It's very janky compared to M with xceed kernel. 3DMark performance drops by nearly 1k points, 3D games (from brief tests) are extremely janky and nearly unplayable.

There appears to be sqlcipher issues - anything using sqlcipher will crash, most likely due to the heightened NDK security.

Definitely not something you'd want to use unless you're a developer wanting to make sure your stuff works with android N.
[Pixel C General] Joediver53:
Non-rooted pixel c running great on N
[Pixel C General] riro56:
It sounds great !! Before flashing, does the keyboard works fine, I mean, does update notification is still there ? Apps works well ?
[Pixel C General] charesa39:
Ordered my Pixel C today as part of the "developer sale" promo. Can't wait to flash this preview build and play around with multi-window.
[Pixel C General] tgyberg:
Nice!
[Pixel C General] spybyscript:
The device with N is sluggish, any app that relies on sqlcipher (many do) will crash/not work, many apps crash outright including Google's own apps. That said notifications do appear to work fine, the OS itself has some nice updates... although it will inexplicably start lagging at times. Battery life is horrible compared to a device running with the xceed kernel, and wifi also has issues especially on ipv6 routers.

I wouldn't use it as a daily driver - it really is ONLY good at the moment as a test device for writing your own applications that you want to either 1) take advantage of what it brings to dev work or 2) you really want to make sure your app works with N early on (problematic because this early from the N release there are bound to be many changes)
[Pixel C General] Joediver53:
Not rooted. Running N today. 7 hours of normal use. (no video or gaming) still at 82%........absolutely loving the battery life!
[Pixel C General] NJ72:
I've been running it since yesterday afternoon and both battery life and performance have been satisfactory. I agree that things run a little slower on N than they did on MM, but that's kinda part of the process IMHO - it's a beta after all.

I wonder if there have been any changes in USB-C display support in the N preview? I haven't tried it myself but has anyone else?
[Pixel C General] streilu:
I can confirm the amazing battery life! Also no Display Adapter available here.

Can anyone connect a Bluetooth headset when running N and see that it can pair as a headset? This Bluetooth profile was disabled in marshmallow.
[Pixel C General] gtaadicto92:
Installed it, and I'm very happy. Wifi issues are completely gone and I can finally get the maximum speed. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/1803338038

Simple question! Good enough for daily use?

Browsing, facebook, email and non-demanding apps.

Keyboard connects and works without issue?
[Pixel C General] Volvoash:
I have not had an issue with mine - Play Music, Social apps, Email, Keyboard, Wireless, Baldurs Gate all seem fine so far :good:
[Pixel C General] EvansJD:
Thanks.

Up and running. So far so good
[Pixel C General] fearthedear:
It's good for daily use for me too. Some Apps not working yet, mostly video content apps like Sky Go Germany or a news portal, but I can live without them for now.

Only one important thing: It didn't recognise my 5Ghz wifi network at home when the router was in automatic channel mode. When I set it to channel 36 it was fine. Apparently the Pixel has issues with some 5Ghz channels, but if you have access to your router that shouldn't be a problem.
[Pixel C General] Grims:
I received mine yesterday and went straight to N. I now understand how generous people were being to the Pixel C in reviews considering what it shipped with. It took me 15 minutes to get through the setup wizard because the touch screen was so unresponsive. I have no idea how this thing was approved for sale.

That said N (and im sure patched MM) is running great so far.
[Pixel C General] whoamigriffiths:
I guess it must be luck of the draw, as I got mine 2days ago and barring 1 reboot, it's been fantastic. I'm leery of updating to N as it's been so good.
[Pixel C General] gtaadicto92:
There is a very annoying bug when powering up the tablet and the unlock pattern doesn't show up. I have to restart it.

And by the way, calibrating the screen kills Netflix app. It shows a black screen unless you leave it at stock settings (255 red, 255 green, 255 blue)

WiFi is much better on 'N' only issue I have is my Amazon Apps are dead! Amazon Underground App load and installs apps, but when they run it complains that the store needs to be re-installed, which when you do will still give you the same error.
[Pixel C General] chinimen:
I'm just
[Pixel C General] VicHammer:
The update is out now for N but not OTA yet. Not even sure it's out for this unit either. Mine's running great, AWESOME battery life, can't imagine it getting better.
[Pixel C General] Volvoash:
Only issue I have noticed so far is the sound can drop off.

A reboot fixes it so no worries but a bit random.
[Pixel C General] madAdam6LOVE:
I joined the beta before the March update came out. Can anyone compare performance of N and the updated MM? Is it possible to enable split screen with the MM update?
[Pixel C General] kuau:
I just got my Pixel C the other day and immediately went for the N preview. I have been having random crashes in Chrome other then that seems to running OK. Just running Chrome, Gmail, Outlook, Facebook app and YouTube app which is working though if I try to click on any links in the YouTube app nothing happens.

" Aw Snap" is the error I get in Chrome even on this site.

Oh yeah, what is the best way to force use Request Desktop Site?
[Pixel C General] BaristaBot:
Click the three dots in the upper right corner, then select "request desktop site", but it doesn't stick. I think in order to make it permanent, we need root and an xposed module or a zip. There used to be a text file you could adb to the device but that doesn't work anymore.
[Pixel C General] gtaadicto92:
Another annoying bug I'm experiencing... Sometimes when I use Chrome the app freezes but it unblocks as soon as I drop down the notification bar.

[Pixel C General] charesa39:
I don't think this issue is specific to the N-preview though. I experience this exact same thing on the latest MM build. Although, I use Chrome Beta as opposed to the stock Chrome app.
[Pixel C General] rubene66:
i have the same problem in MM and android N chrome and chrome beta to i can not believe google have not fix this it sux
[Pixel C General] minieod:
i have a nexus 6p running the N build - and there were some hoops to go through for root.

pixel c is on the fedex truck for delivery today and i am going to put the N build on it later today.

i'm sure using the RC of 2.70 su could obtain root no problem - but anyone know about twrp's ability to work? the nexus 6p had this whole ordeal with needing decrypted boot.img's as the stock would auto encrypt the device. causing twrp to break.

is this similar here?

edit: actually, looks like xceed's n preview kernel is an img and forces no encrypt. so might be the solution. any confirmers?
[Pixel C General] regime2008:
I can confirm this. My pixel is not encrypted :)

Anyone can use MX Player on N? When I tried to launch it, nothing happen:(
[Pixel C General] EvansJD:
Just tried it and it does the same for me.

First launch there was a message on screen which I think was reporting an issue but it was only there for a fraction of a second before the app shut
[Pixel C General] Ava Pug:
Using the free version works fine for me. The Pro version crashes as soon as you open it.

[Pixel C General] silenus:
Hello :)

I will receive my Pixel C by thursday :) And I'm behind a choice :

1- root MM and install xposed and gravityBox

2- Install N preview

3- Install N preview and rooting it

What choice do you recommend to me, please :D

Sorry to post here : but it's to have thepoitn of view of those who have N preview installed
[Pixel C General] dkryder:
do each one for 2 weeks each to see which one you like the best.
[Pixel C General] rmagruder:
My wife is running stock Marshmallow. I'm running Android N. I would say N is great if you want the split screen otherwise stay on Marshmallow, as some apps will break on N. Most run fine, but games like Pure Pool and Witcher Battle Arena won't load. My exchange client (Nine) just doesn't do anything when I press the 'next' button after naming my exchange account, and other miscellaneous issues. I would still say 90% + of stuff runs just fine, and about 60% shows NO issues on side by side. The remaining issues with side by side are largely paint/resize problems from apps that just don't respond well to it. But that's to be expected.

I will probably stay on Android N as I have my phone on stock Marshmallow for those apps that are must-haves.
[Pixel C General] redukt:
Well it´s just an unfinished and sometimes nonstable version. I´ve tested it for a few hours and decide for upgrading to MM.
[Pixel C General] jonidog:
Upgraded to Android N today. Unexpectedly, the YouTube app works perfectly in split screen... Am I missing anything here? All reviews said it doesn't work/buggy as hell with YouTube. But here I am typing this with a video playing in the other window... Very happy!!
[Pixel C General] YevOmega:
I tried N preview a couple of weeks ago, and it was too buggy for me. I'm waiting until the May release before budging (skipping the upcoming April one). It seems that your mileage may vary though.
[Pixel C General] tensaiko:
I gave Android N a test run for about a day and a half until I finally gave up and switched back to Marshmallow. I stream games through the NBA and MLB apps. Neither could run on Android N. Immediately crashes.
[Pixel C General] Frippan:

I was on Marshmallow. Updated to Android N thinking it was preview 2. Turned out I updated to preview 1. Hopefully I will get the OTA to 2 soon.

[Pixel C General] nigelhealy:
What is the best thread to watch to track experiences on N previews?

I'm a ChromeOS fan looking at Android and Pixel C and want stability. I'm reading these reboot crashes messages and waiting for happy noises...

I thought Preview 2 = Beta = more stable but seems not? I'm reading as its more of a change than an debugged improvement?
[Pixel C General] BaristaBot:
as with any android preview, some things will improve while others get more bork'd. that's the risk we run in using a beta product, but we also help google out by reporting issues and sending logcats so they can track down bugs.

as for which thread to follow, probably this one.

fwiw, i haven't had any reboots in a while. i'm not sure if it's some app i updated or what.

So I have to switch phones I have smart switch to back up all other data but noticed it does not back up my apps and their preferences etc. So I am stuck having to rebuild my podcast library and re-enter notifications for all my medications... and yes... rebuild my clan village :(.

So without Root anyone have any suggestions on the best app to do this?

Also not extremely important but it'd be nice if it transfered over the app icon layout I had on the home screens

Thanks!

You can normally backup your user data with adb. Check the XDA forums to find tutorials.

You can also use Helium which works without root AFAIR.

Is there a way to reply directly from the lockscreen without unlocking the phone?

Tried the stock touchwiz messaging app, seems only to show the preview

I tried floatify but couldn't manage to set it up for this purpose.

Google's Messenger almost works. On stock lockscreen I can't add its widget, but on the notification bar I can reply. Anyone know how I can add widgets to lockscreen?

[Verizon LG G3] Designer17:
I just found out Verizon released Marshmallow for the G3 not too long ago so I thought I might switch back over to my old G3. Before doing so, I wanted to update the phone first and see how I like it. OTA update(on wifi) didn't find any new updates so I used the software upgrade assistant. The upgrade assistant found new updates and updated my phone to what I thought would be Marshmallow. To my surprise, it updated to Lollipop 5.1.1. I figured it must have to upgrade to Lollipop first, so I went back into the upgrade assistant and it says my phones up-to-date. Same goes for the OTA update.

It's been a couple hours now and my phones still not seeing any Marshmallow update. Does my phone have to have a sim card and be active in order to update to Marshmallow? What would cause me not to be able to update to Marshmallow?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Do you have an activated Verizon SIM in? Sometimes it can take days for the OTA to show up after restoring to stock.
[Verizon LG G3] Designer17:
No, I do not have a sim in. My current Verizon phone uses a nano sim so unfortunately, I can't just swap them out. I wanted to see how I liked Marshmallow before getting a new sim. However, I was able to upgrade to lollipop without a sim.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The computer software doesn't require a SIM, but as you discovered, they haven't released the 46A Marshmallow KDZ yet, which is why it only took you to 35B 5.1.1 since all the software does is download the latest released KDZ and flash it.

For OTAs on the phone itself, it does require an activated Verizon SIM for it to even recognize that there's an OTA available. I know there are adapters to change SIM sizes, but I've never had to use one.

If you root and put TWRP on (second link in my signature below), you can flash [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's completely stock 46A ROM in the Development section.
[Verizon LG G3] Designer17:
Thanks for clearing that up. Maybe I will flash adabbeb's rom instead of waiting for Verizon to release the KDZ.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome! Yeah, Verizon/LG are taking an extraordinarily long time to release this one. Complicating matters is that they changed things so that an old pattern of URL we were able to use in the past to check for the KDZ no longer works.

I was restoring my phone to a JasmineROM 9.1 TWRP backup to check a few times every day with the official computer software to see when it would start downloading the 46A KDZ but I've given up checking - it was a lot of backing up and restoring - someone else probably would find the news sooner anyway.
[Verizon LG G3] Designer17:
I know all about Verizon taking forever to release updates. My current phone, Sony Xperia Z3v, just got Lollipop a couple weeks ago. It's been nearly 2yrs since Verizon promised it would get Lollipop. I was quite shocked when I found out Marshmallow was already available for the G3.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wow, that is a LONG time!

We were all quite surprised when 46A released so quickly. Even before it was official, there were a few helpful people who got the OTA I think it was a couple of weeks or maybe even a month before anyone else, and with our help, they imaged the 46A partitions for us. Since we haven't had the KDZ available to extract, that's what the 46A-based ROMs are using. [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] and I compared all the files/partitions from the "leak" and the official OTA and they're identical, however, so no danger the ROMs are any different than the official besides that the rooted ROMs *have* to use the 35B modem because the 46A modem requires the 46A sbl1 partition, and the 46A sbl1 in combination with the 12B aboot (bootloader) which we require to be able to get into TWRP put the phone into QHSUSB_BULK mode. [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] tried modifying files to get the 46A modem and sbl1 to work with the 12B aboot, but no luck.

I remember when at least one user (I don't remember who) on here was insistent that we wouldn't get 5.1.1 and when the earliest reports of the OTA occurred, they thought it was fake. I was cautiously optimistic. Very grateful that we got 35B. If we never get another OTA to hopefully fix just the few quirks with 46A, I'd probably restore back to [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 v2.0 based on 35B as it's overall the cat's meow in my opinion. It gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing just how professional a job he did with it. I do admittedly find it hard to move "backwards" though, knowing there's a more recent stock ROM.
[Verizon LG G3] AtrixHDMan:
Were is this completely stock Marshmallow Rom located.All the ones I've found have been modified in someway.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
In the Development section, the one that says 46A firmware, thread by [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]. That's as close to 100% stock rooted you can be while still being able to get into TWRP.

There's only one other stock 46A-based ROM in the Development section.
[Verizon LG G3] AtrixHDMan:
Oh ok. I saw that.I'm guessing since I'm on 12B rooted I can just install TWRP and that 46A Rom and keep root and TWRP installed.Is that correct.If so I'm going to proceed but not if exposed can't be installed or since I already have exposed install will it still be after update to Marshmallow?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
As [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] says and links to in the first post of that thread, you have to be on the 35B bootstack, so flash the 35B bootstack before flashing that ROM.

Before you flash any ROM, in TWRP you select to wipe Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data. I wipe System as well.

Otherwise yes. You can, if you wish, use the built in LG Backup to backup your user apps and user data, and limited system data.

When you flash a ROM, it overwrites your old one, which includes overwriting Xposed or any other system modifications because when you flash Xposed or other system mods, it installs to the same place the ROM is. Xposed for Marshmallow works fine for me.
[Verizon LG G3] AtrixHDMan:
I'm still a little confused about how to install this.I'm on 12B and it sounds like I need to be on 35B before I can flash this 46A Rom.So do I need to install TWRP and 35B Rom first or can I go from 12B Rom to 46A Rom but I will need to flash 35B bootstack to go from 12B to 46A.
