[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kingrichards:
In my test the pixel standby is definitely longer I have S7 Edge and standby will go down much quicker
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] scottjb:
This. S7 standby is not good. I find my Pixel does much better in standby mode.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pipspeak:
Good to know. Thanks. And is SoT about the same between them with, say, heavy use in one day?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] scottjb:
I can't say--I have not done an SOT test as all my use is mixed. A heavy use day for me is 3 hours of SOT and just about any phone can handle that. I did have occasion to charge the S7 during the day. That's rare with my Pixel.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
I went from the stock Unlocked S7, which ide expect to be the closest to the Play Store Pixel - both lacking carrier bloat. Having said that, the Pixel outperforms the S7 hands down on battery life and performance. I don't have anything scientific, but I simply replaced my S7 with a pixel as my daily driver. I didn't change my habits (if anything I use my Pixel more). At the end of the day my S7 would be in the ~20% range. Currently at the same time everyday my Pixel is at ~60%. The difference is drastic and very noticeable.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] metrize:
I think a lot are paid, I mean it's a new phone and Google wants publicity dor it. Notice how some weeks later only then negative reviews are posted. But still, just wait for the S8, this phone is smooth but it's not worth the price
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] k0nkuzh0n:
How do they compare in terms of getting hot under load? S7 is supposed to have heat pipes, and from some reviews I've watched, it performs quite well.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] scottjb:
I don't notice my Pixel heating up as much as my S7 did.

I wish.

For real the battery is awesome and the phone is very snappy.

I am still having some weird issues with my Bluetooth conection and my '14 camry hybrid. Sometimes it disconnects abruptly And then I cannot get it to connect again without restarting the car.

My S7 did not have any issues in this department
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] docluv01:
Hi Guys

I have a S6 on verizon with unlimited data.

What I wanted to find out, if I were to buy the pixel XL from the google store, what insuarance would you recommend?

The problem is the device protection they offer, does not cover loss/theft. I see there are 3rd party companies (Geek Squad, Worth ave) that do offer complete covereage.

Has anyone tried these?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear VR] Hawkhell:
Honestly I think Google Cardboard is more convenient and versatile. I disabled my VR service and use it as a Cardboard headset. It does feel comfy at least. Every time you take your headset out it resets everything. That's not ok. Not being able to set your orientation for laying down or slightly adjusting for comfort is not ok. Sure some apps allow that but it should be a system feature. But I didn't expect any less from Samsung since they so this with all their products.
[Samsung Gear VR] aaroncal:
You need to hold on the back button to pop up your profile and you can reorient the screen anytime you want in any vr app you want. I do it all the time when I feel like laying down during a movie
[Samsung Gear VR] iBolski:
Love my VR headset. Was given a code to get about $50 worth of stuff from the store. Chose the entertainment pack over the game pack. Glad I did. Face Your Fear made me scream with the ghost story one. Very immersive and scary. Can't wait to make my two older daughters try it. Lol!

Also, everything hasn't reset for me when I take the headset off. It starts right back where I left off, but maybe it depends on the app as well. If an app cannot handle going to sleep and recover properly, then that's the app, not the VR headset. Android Apps have to be programmed to handle when they are put "to sleep" properly. If not, then most apps will just restart and that's on the application developer, not the VR headset. I only know this as I've learned Android App programming and that is one of the life cycles of an application that is the responsibility of the app developer.
[Samsung Gear VR] truckerdewd:
Must be nice. I'm still waiting to get my $50 worth of bonus content. Been waiting since September. Oculus support is still looking into it.

[Samsung Gear VR] TodWulff:
Laying down during what kind of movie? ðŸ˜‚
[Samsung Gear VR] iBolski:
That's strange. I got a card with the set from the VZW store. It was a scratch-off card. I then went into the Oculus store, redeemed the code and could pick between a game or an entertainment pack. I chose the entertainment pack which included ID4 and Life of Pi movies. It also included Affected - The Manor. Damn thing scared the crap out of me multiple times that I screamed. Ticked off my wife because she thought I hurt myself. :laugh:

But I got them immediately. No wait, so maybe my deal is different?

You can also rearrange the screens the same way.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidcopernicus:
Bought my phone used. LGE Nexus 5 Hammerhead - Android Lollipop 5.0.1

System Update comes up at a certain point. After downloading, installing and restarting:

Team Win TWRP v 2.3.0.8 (? not 100% on the version). Had a "Welcome to the Control Room" moment. Didn't know that was down here.

Ran Root Checker Basic to "verify root access and installation on this device..."

Came back with "Root access is not properly installed on this device." No ****? :eek:

Obviously, previous owner rooted phone and installed this. Thing is, the operating system is vanilla as far as I can tell. Certainly nothing to denote custom functioning or layout. And it's clunky as a muh. Looking for those sweet sweet upgrades...;)

My question is this: given current state of the phone (rooted), what our my best options on increasing functionality and efficiency of my phone?

In other words, should I try and update the 200+MB file sent by Google, or should I ditch that path and max out what is now pretty old tech, with a solid, tried and true, custom OS that XDA heads trust? Also, where might I find the info on DLing and installing said OS?

Also, any stray observations welcome.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndarkside93:
It depends. There should be a guide for doing a full restore to stock in the guides sub forum for the Nexus 5 . If you want, I would recommend a move to a marshmallow ROM for beginners.

First you must install an updated recovery. Follow instructions before continuing. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...nTwrk1RLdbbm4DHLA&sig2=868XID8flOqKUZlzjJUbfw will install a CAF recovery. You can only use a CAF ROM on this recovery.

Turn download updates radio s and baseband. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxeul4rF_fZDTWpHMU5tTWV6ZGs/view is the latest for CAF

Then Download ROM and Gapps

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...tZ3F-YmW0i5TK_Dxw&sig2=mdmMDS0FRJByUWdv6bAchw is marshmallow (6.0)

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...IuqwdCU3C_N0Bfhmw&sig2=eG7alOlJQ9qXLocytcz8Aw is nougat (7.1)

Install instructions

1 power off phone

2 boot into recovery (hold power and volume down button to enter bootloader, use volume button to select recovery, , press power to select entry)

3 once in twrp press wipe, and follow on-screen prompt

4 now press back button until you reach main menu.

5 click install

6 install updates radio and bootloader from download folder

7 install ROM

8 install Gapps

9 wipe cache

10 reboot system.

Hope this helps. If you have any more questions, PM me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.teejster:
My personal advice would be to return to full stock 1st and then start playing around afterwards.

Assuming you go that route all the instructions on how to do so are provided directly from google :

[Micromax Canvas A1] nikeshpd9:
Many problems started in my Canvas a1 phone after I updated it to Android marshmallow. The phone started lagging a lot, one of the most annoying problems was it was not getting switched on after I rebooted it, and only got on after trying for many times, it happened many times but one day it was not getting on in anyway after trying for many times. So I took it to Micromax service centre and they said "if I will be successful in installing a software then it's okay otherwise the phone is no more as it is two yrs old" and unfortunately they were unsuccessful. So, can anything be done to it to bring it to life? Please help!!
[Micromax Canvas A1] Akshatk:
First of all. There was absolutely no need for you to take your phone to the service centre. Don't go to service centre unless it's a hardware related problem.

As for the fix- flash using sp flash tools. There must be a thread about this in canvas a1 section.
[Huawei Watch] Dacoco:
Hi,

I have the Huawei watch for a couple of days now and I encountered the following issue when using a third party charger. It does NOT happen with the original charger:

https://youtu.be/9RcHAtedB8Y

I heard that maybe cheap charger aren't well made but wtf is this? I used the original charger and the cheap dock when recording this video.

Also my display flickers when using white watchfaces in dozemode (when they are white in dozemode too). But that seems to be a common issue from what I read here.

Thanks
[Huawei Watch] DaKiller147:
I remember similar issues with my old Galaxy S4 and unbranded charger. While connected to charger the lock screen would flicker every couple of seconds and touchscreen wasn't responding at all. I assume this is essentially the same issue in both cases.

Couldn't find any info on the issue so I just bought a better charger, unfortunately after 18 months there are still no decent replacement chargers out there for the Huawei Watch (startup anyone?).
[Huawei Watch] Dacoco:
I sent my watch to Huawei due to another problem and got a new watch back and - that's the strange part - with the new watch and the same charger the problem doesn't occur!

How can one explain that?!
[Sony Xperia M2] Zissis:
Hi everyone, I am looking for some help and I will try to be specific. I am trying to root my Xperia M2 (I have unlocked the bootloader).

-USB debugging is ON.

I am trying to boot into my bootloader, flash TWRP, boot into TWRP, install SuperSu.

I am stuck in the step of booting into my bootloader using ADB. I have tried the simple method of running a CMD and using the "adb reboot bootloader" command. CMD responds with "no devices/emulators found".

I tried the "adb reboot bootloader" command while my phone is on fastboot mode and while it's turned on. None seem to work.

What I am expecting is my phone to boot in a screen showing the android logo. Am I wrong?

Other commands I've tried and the response I got:

Adb devices --> List of devices: empty

fastboot devices --> my model and the word "fastboot"

Before you comment "install drivers", please note that I am aware of this, I have searched the web for drivers and I am pretty sure I have the drivers. If you are familiar with the process of installing the drivers please post the way of installing them, because i might have done something wrong..

I believe that what i am doing wrong is having the phone in the wrong state.. I might be executing a command with my phone turned on, while it needs to be off, so if you could clarify the phone's state in every step, that would be great

I apologize if I forgot crucial details, I am a newbie. Thanks in advance, i will make sure to answer every question and provide info needed.

Hi,

Have anyone tried installing drivers for USB devices on O2 flame, like USB to serial converter etc. I was trying to do this and it fails. I want to use my USB to serial converter to connect to the Flame's OTG port. I tried to install the FTDI driver according to the procedure given. but O2 flame does'nt allow to install any driver. I am really :confused:. Trying this for quite a long time.

Anyone had a success in doing this, will appreciate your help.

Best regards,

Its not only this driver. In the process to evaluate if the Flame supports installation of new USB driver. I found that it is not allowing. Not even the DLLMain is called.

Done. This is not that easy to though.

Install a USB driver on Flame

Sorry I was not in touch with this forum for a long time.

For this the first step is to do the registry setting correctly:

HKLM/DRIVERS/USB/LOADCLIENTS

HKLM/DRIVERS/USB/...

Dont forget to mention the index and the prefix values.

the dll must be placed in the /windows folder

Important: Build the driver project with the windows ce version 4.2.

Hello everyone, first thanks for all the help, i'm new in here but the people is awesome:good::cool:

My problem with my J5 Sm-j500m (root with CF-Auto-Root, android 6.0.1, firmware from sammobile ) is this: i have tried to setup my sd card as adoptable storage with two methods and i have failed.

1) Adb shell

i installed android sdk windows and run the comand window with the comands "adb devices"

and i get this:

List of devices attached

5806d690 device

So next, i do: "adb shell sm list-disks adoptable"

and i always get this: CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: cannot locate symbol "_ZN7android14AndroidRuntime5startEPKcRKNS_6VectorINS_7String8EEE" referenced by "app_process"...

i've tried "adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true" and other with the same luck, so no solution here.

2) i download root essencials and i tried without luck, it says "insert sd card" and the sd is already in the phone i tried with other sd and the same happened.

Does Anyone know how to do it? on a J500M? i see this http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/finally-adoptable-storage-j500fmm-t3470225 and this http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j5/themes/galaxy-j5-adaptable-storage-6-0-1-t3470020 both options says i have to Flash a zip with TWRP and its done but i don't know how can i do that, because i don't have TWRP. also its not specific to SM-J500M.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valkry:
So my friend gave me his old sgs5 for free because it is missing the battery and back plate, both of which i ordered off amazon and are arriving later today, i have a question about the amoled panel

the glass of the digitizer is flawless, no cracks to be seen whatsoever and is very smooth and scratch free to the touch; however, inside on what i can assume only to be the amoled panel itself, (unless there is another thin layer of glass between the GG3 and amoled display , which i am not sure of) on the very top right corner and about 1.5-2mm in, there is a small hairline fracture that cuts the corner, also, there is a very small fracture of the same type on the top of the panel about two-thirds of the way to the left that extends roughly 1.5-2ish-mm down the screen, but ends without cutting back to the edge of the screen.

my question is this; When i recieve the battery and back plate today in the mail, will i put it together only to find that i get no video on the amoled at all? or simply black screen except for that tiny cut-off corner on the top right, as from what i can tell that is where the main video ribbon connects?

the phone has been -somewhat- manhandled, as there are a couple fractures in the glass over the camera and some indentations on the plastic chrome ribbon that encompasses the device on the corners from what i can only assume are drops. Otherwise the device looks to be in perfect working order, and i cannot imagine that it has sustained enough impact trauma to actually hurt anyone on the mainboard if the gg3 screen itself is flawless with no blemishes.

thanks for your time, any insight is much appreciated.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
I have the opportunity to really put the video and audio recording abilities of this phone to the test tonight at a couple of music venues. I've got to admit that the audio settings of the manual video camera and the HD audio recorder confuse me a bit. I understand that this phone has a raised level at which it'll clip (130db) but I don't even really know how to go about making sure I'm not clipping audio. (Video, sure, but not audio.) Any advice, instruction and/or input is appreciated with audio stuff. I want to give this thing a fair shake.

Second question... I know where two of the three mics are, one top and one bottom, but I've not yet seen anyone point out where the third one is, ideas?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
A weird place to keep a mic.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
Ok, didn't get any input so I went in flying blind last night. For audio settings, I went into the HD audio recorder and looked at its concert settings and used those. I think I still need to figure out the settings better but I can actually hear more separation to the parts of the band than I could when I was there. (It was loud and just about a wall of noise!) So I have two links attached below. One was recorded just with the main lens. The other one I switched between the two. As you will see, there's a couple of things to point out, all which were obvious and to be expected. 1) My hands are shaky, especially standing there holding a phone up at various points of the set and through entire songs. 2) The wide angle lens obviously doesn't do as well being f2.4 at 8mp vs f1.8 and 16mp for the main but it did allow me to take in the whole band despite standing up front. 3) I'm not sure if the stabilization was active or not. I think it might have been and there's just only so much one should expect from it. Any way, the settings I used for the visual portion were FHD, bit rate high (24), ISO 3200 at 1/60 with video set to 30fps. (Oh! And I need to add a note, the refocusing is my fault for touching the screen during recording.)
