[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royduin:
Hi All,

I was running CM12.1 on my HTC One M7 and I saw there was a new update (OTA) so I've downloaded it and installed it from the recovery. Afterwards it was a CM13 update but it went well (a "dirty flash") but as soon as CM booted the first time I did get a lot of "play services is stopped" errors. So I thought, Gapps is not compatible so I've downloaded the latest version from http://opengapps.org, the nano version. Flashed it, cleared the dalvik cache and rebooted.

Now the Google Play store is working again and I won't get any "play services is stopped" messages but other Google apps like Gmail and Youtube crashes directly when I open them. Maybe I've to try the "stock" version of Gapps?

Any thoughts?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Try a clean install, thats what you should always do when installing a major update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royduin:
I'm afraid I've too... but it's a OTA update (CM Nightly) so I've to pay more attention on what updates I install and won't install, didn't see it was CM13. Now trying to install the stock version of Gapps (with all the apps instead of the nano version). I hope it works, don't have the time to do a clean install with backups and stuff now.

I've installed the "stock" version of GApps and now everything is working fine.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] errikosd:
Dear all,

As my beloved G2's EOL is approaching, I am looking for a new phone. I have slimmed my choices down to two candidates. The Nexus 6P and the HTC 10.

I am favouring the 6P due to its software and the quick updates. However, being an older device, I think it's lacking a little bit on the hardware aspect. That's why I am considering the HTC 10 as the alternative, which, although still far away, is the most close-to-stock choice.

The 6P (64GB) is generally around 100 euros cheaper. Which one would you choose and why? I would really appreciate answers from people that have experience with the devices.

Thanks ahead!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosimoSguanci:
If dimensions are not a problem for you, and you want to mod your phone, definitely go for the 6P, especially if there's this difference in terms of price.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicmatron:
Hello,

I had the HTC10 since release, sold it last week and went for a 6P instead. Hardware-wise, the 10 is near-perfect for me. SD820, 5.2" screen, QC 3.0, great built and material quality. Why did I jump then? Simply because of software. I'm not a very patient person and AOSP development on the 10 wasn't quick enough for my liking. Which, of course, is my own fault rather than the devs', who do a great job moving CM13 forward with limited resources on this phone.

Here's my personal pro and con of both phones:

HTC 10:

+ Fantastic built and material quality

+ Checkmarks on almost all the nice things you want in a phone today (SD820, 4GB RAM, OIS, QC 3.0, fast FP sensor, etc.)

+ Pretty good camera

+ Sense is one of the lightest manufacturer Android flavors

+ Extremely fast while hardly heating up (outside games at least, I don't play any games on my phone)

- AOSP isn't anywhere near daily driver level, exotic audio implementations seem to make things difficult for devs

- The SLCD display looks great but isn't as power efficient as AMOLED

- HTC not the quickest of software updaters

6P

+ Second to none in terms of AOSP/community support

+ Also great in terms of look and feel

+ Great looking AMOLED display

+ Very potent speakers

+ Good camera, even though it lacks OIS

- SD810 wasn't the greatest of SoCs

- 3GB RAM isn't the gold standard anymore

- Some kind of quick charge is present, but requires specific chargers that aren't nearly as common as Qualcomm QuickCharger units

A lot of this is personal preference and may not matter to you as much as it matters to me. I would put it like this - in terms of hardware, HTC 10 is superior. In terms of software (support), 6P is superior. Both are still good on the respective hardware/software counterparts. However, one big plus for the 10 remains: HTC 10 can still grow strong in terms of AOSP support, while 6P can't improve it's hardware.

For me personally, I don't mind the 6P's disadvantages as much. Yes, the battery drains faster and getting proper charges can be problematic ... but I get to choose my software from a vast pool of options. Be it Vanilla 7.0/7.1, CM13 or CopperheadOS. On HTC 10, for now all you'd get are Sense-based ROMs or an alpha CM13.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] errikosd:
Hi, thanks for the answer.

To be honest, my main concern is that 6P is getting "old", speaking in mobile lifetime terms. Android version updates are guaranteed up to September 2017. There is a great community behind, but I know what happens when you have no official hardware support...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
6P has plenty of longevity especially on XDA!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlo:
I think Nexus 6P is better than HTC 10. Although HTC 10 chamfer and unibody design is cool, Nexus 6P has better combination of hardware and software. Get the latest update from Google and its built-in apps.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] errikosd:
Basically my question is: After it's EOL, will it be easy for developers to bring newer versions of Android to the 6P?

Eg., I suppose that Qualcomm will not release any drivers for Android P (or let's say 9.0) for the SD810 that is in the 6P. How will this affect development?

I can see Android N builds for the Nexus 5. Do developers have access to the BLOBs of the Nexus 5, or do they just patch stuff?

Many questions, thanks ahead. I am familiar with how the Drivers, BLOBs, HAL things work, but I just want to know better.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prattham:
We will definitely have a android 9.0 stable build no doubt lol

That's the advantage of having a nexus

All sources released :cool:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] errikosd:
For the record I went for the HTC 10. I really liked the 6P screen size (especially with dual window support), but the better hardware of the 10 bought me big time.

Anyway, thank you all for the answers. Cheers.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubeke30:
Hello everyone,

a few days ago my phone restarted. I didn't try to install a custom rom or something.. It just keeps starting up.

So I went into recovery mode and wiped the cache etc.. The phone starts but after starting the apps it is in a bootloop again.

It has something to do with my broken fingerprint scan I think because I saw it earlier in this forum with that problem too.

Is there any way to fix this ? I Can go into bootloader but oem unlocking and advanced reboot isn't on...

Hopefully someone can help me!

Ruben

If you're able to boot into bootloader, try to factory reset and see if you can boot up(all data is gone!). If not, the qfil method is the next step to flash cos from scratch.

[HTC One S] luksona2002:
so i decided to root my unlocked htc one s, i've tried lots of one click root apps like kingoroot and others but none of them worked. so i decided to use framaroot. so framaroot didnt work too and i got really pissed off, and i accidentally pressed a button which was saying this: execute script/sd card/custom and my phone restarted. i thought it would boot normally and i would use phone normally but i saw that lockscreen ring was gone. now i cant unlock my phone but it works inside really well. i mean facebook notifications and missed calls are appearing on upper screen part (forgot how its called the place where clock battery icon and others are displayed, also forgot to mention that i locked my bootloader before trying framaroot because i thought something bad would happen to my device) when i first tried to root my htc one s it always got stuck on entering recovery screen, but i could normally use my phone. no most of the times my phone wont even turn on, i mean when i trie to it manually goes to bootloader screen, i hardly manage to boot my phone normally but still without lockscreen ring. also when i try to connect it my pc i get windows error. i tried updating drivers and it didnt work. also my phone is 2yrs old so i cant retutn it to htc with warranty, also screen is little broken but can still use normally. pls anyone help me if you can :crying::crying::crying::crying:

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Taykiin:
Hey all, looking to get input for a working flash notification app. For when you get a text, call, app notification, etc... Perviously used a few on the Note 7 but can't seem to find one down that fully functions.

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ko0ky:
Flashing notifications has always been a big deal to me. I've been let down in the past with some devices limitation on different lights and what not. I purchased an app a couple years ago that works great if your device can handle it. I've tested it on the pixel and it works excellent. It's called lightflow.. and here's the play store link.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow&hl=en

You do need root, and in setting - notifications - click on the gear - turn on pulse notification light (which is off by default!?!?!?!). You also need to give it rights in the accessibility menu.

Should work fine for you as it's working GREAT for me.

Good luck!

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

here's a free version.. not sure how limited it is.. might be good for testing purposes (but I can already tell you this is working fine).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite&hl=en

also, I read on this app it doesn't REQUIRE root which I thought was required when I first purchased the app. Things might have changed. I did root my pixel and this app is working fine. If it doesn't work, it might be root related if you don't have root.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Taykiin:
Wow, great...just installed Light Flow. Was unaware of all the features associate with that app. I will be sure to give it a go here tonight and try and figure out all these settings! Thank you very much for the input!

Much appreciated!

Hey guys,

Its been a while since I rooted my phone (I've been using Samsung phones with locked bootloader) and it sure feels good to be back!

Now, I've been out of the loop for so long that I don't know what I should do next with my rooted V20!

I would love to have you guys come in here and discuss how we can make our V20 even better!

Thing's I've done so far.

Install Adaway

Remove Bloatware using titanium backup (is there better way to remove bloatware beside titanium backup?)

So far I removed all the TMobile apps, is there anything else I should remove that will improve the battery life?

Thanks and lets get this thread going! :good:
