[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigM69:
Hello world, I have the midnight blue nexus 6. I have had this device for awhile and over time its got dings and dents as well as a busted screen. I replaced the digitizer a few months back. Also replaced the mid frame and back battery cover to cloud white,got tired of the blue. This device us 2 yrs old and I'm starting to notice some issues with the device its self. No matter which ROM I run I have terrible lag and when I'm on the internet it just kicks me off. I believe its time to replace the logic board? Do you guys think putting in a new mother board will solve the problems?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seahorsepip:
Did you ever replace the battery?

I got lagg, sudden shutdown, static noise etc etc due to a bad battery. Replacing the battery fixed it. Keep in mind to not buy refurbished ebay battery crap :P
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigM69:
No haven't replaced the battery yet. I have been looking at some battery's on Amazon. They have a battery called Newpower99 its compatible with the nexus 6. I think my device has the 3025mAh and the newpower99 battery is 3200mAh price is 45.25 I wonder if its worth it. Thank you for the suggestion I will start out with a new battery first then go from there.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigM69:
I ordered some 2mm double sided sticky tape too just in case I need it for the back battery cover. I don't like using a hair dryer because I'm always afraid I'm gonna get the phone to hot. I need to order a heat gun that has a temp adjustment.

[MENTION=4453000]seahorsepip[/MENTION] that battery is a little pricey. This is the one I bought. I hope its a good battery! Its rather cheap so that makes me think its not gonna be that great. Probably end up buying another battery just to be on the safe side..View attachment 4013306

I'm unable to disable my lock screen pin. When I punch in the pin to disable it does nothing. When I got up this morning it would not let me remove the lock screen password.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cadavjo:
Do you, by chance, use AdBlock?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seahorsepip:
That's very strange, there are pin removal zips, you can try that.

Are you running stock? It can be an issue after flashing mods?

But it's hard to say if it's battery related or not, I've had so many unexplainable weird bugs when my battery was dying...

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cadavjo:
I can't speak for any of those mods, but I used to always get the "Thread Deleted" message, websites wouldn't load, laggy, etc. After wiping my phone countless times, too only temporarily solve the problem I finally realized it was AdBlock causing my connection issues. I'm guessing the way the proxy was handling the traffic.

But it sounds like you may be having other issues, too. Don't know what it's worth to you, but you can do an exchange with Motorola, too. Broke my screen, Motorola charged like over $100 to replace. In my case, I got a brand new phone. Did that within the last 6 months.

Lol, I was on Android N for a long time,I got sick of it and went back to marshmallow. N isn't all that special to me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigM69:
I already checked on a replacement with Motorola and its gonna cost me 150. I bought this phone from a guy on swappa about 4 months ago it didn't start acting up until after Christmas. I have a new OEM battery on the way I'm gonna try that out and see how she does. If the new battery doesn't fix the issues I'm having I'll probably just buy a new mother board.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seahorsepip:
The motherboard is noy something that starts causing issues normally, though I replaced my motherboard after a hardbrick once.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigM69:
I wonder what's causing the issues? It started awhile back when I was running android N. I have ran 4 different Nug ROMs and a few different MM ROMs and I had the same issues on every single ROM I ran. Ill be getting a new battery in a few days. I really do hope the new battery fixes my issues. Thing is my battery holds a great charge and functions great as far as battery life goes.

I will be monitoring the battery life and temp. My old battery got very hot when charging and web browsing at the same time,brightness level was medium.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamantin001:
Hi there!

I've seen many articles and YouTube videos about installing different kinds of Linux on Android phones. I've been trying for 2 days now to get it working but even though I've tried many different apps, settings, I end up having the same issue.

I downloaded the Linux Deploy app from play store, installed busybox (Stephen/meefik/JRummy) from play store, downloaded VNC viewer too.

I opened the Linux Deploy, tried with many different settings, including only changing Distribution to Kali-Linux, changing architectures, installation path, file system, and desktop environment.

Most of the cases I ended up the Linux Deploy saying everything's fine, VNC running, but when I opened VNC viewer, tried connecting to VNC server under 'localhost', typing in the password 'changeme', I always got only a blank black display with the white square cursor in the middle. I could move the cursor, but no desktop was visible..

Can anyone who feels familiar with these apps help me please?:rolleyes:

Thank you!

I am using a Sony xperia z3 (D6603) rooted, UB, RXSW Rom marshmallow edition v4.0, build number 23.5.A.1.151, but also didn't work in simple prerooted 6.0.1.

Screenshots of Linux Deploy settings in the attachment section.

Just let me know if you need any more information!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 3omar7:
I am going to try out some roms is it worth it or there is not any good roms yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kash20:
I used to be a keen rooter and user of custom roms but I realised slowly you can achieve most of the desired benefits of rooting by not rooting. It depends on the person, but for me it was blocking ads and removing bloatware. Now you can get Package Disabler Pro which disables anything you want, and 3rd party apps like Adguard which block all ads also. And the added benefit of having a working Android Pay (Though it does work on rooted stock)

I want a pure stock android like lineage os should I root for this matter ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AzzyC:
Yup theres a lot of good stable ROMs though they may still be unofficial. Some ROMs even go up to having Nougat.

The best ROM out there is the SuperMan ROM though, a lot of features and liked by many.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 3omar7:
did you spend any money?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ca12bon:
I initially rooted the phone to try out different ROMS, xposed etc... but I'm now regretting it. I cannot use Samsung Pay, something that is generally used by most S7 users here in Korea and globally.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] throbberx8:
I should have said I stopped rooting on my previous s5.

So when I ran into major problems with this phone(s7 unrooted ), I had no problems getting it repaired by Samsung.

So no it didn't cost me anything.

If I did root I probably would have been screwed!!

So be aware, and think carefully if you need root.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DanRyb:
So I looked around at the available kernels the various developers posted here and it doesn't look like any of them come with dm-verity disabled? Does anyone know of any? I don't want full-blown root but I do like to make minor changes to /system through ADB in recovery (like replacing some font files, etc). Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
I'm not sure how this ties into modifying the system while in recovery? I was under the assumption that DM verity is just a check, and only "works" when the bootloader is locked.

If you're unlocked and running TWRP then it shouldn't pose any issues?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DanRyb:
DM-verity is a complete system check. If you modify any portion of the system in recovery, once you boot into the OS with dm-verity enabled, it essentially "recovers" the changed bits on the fly, and therefore your changes don't "stick". They are reverted immediately. It's actually a great security feature but since there's changes I want to make, I need dm-verity disabled.

Has anyone used any battery case yet? I've seen some on Amazon, but only a few and none from recognized companies. Not sure if the reviews are trustworthy either.

I like using ultra slim cases and so obviously battery cases are not my preference for daily drivers. But would be awesome for those crazy long days, specially on hikes where no charging options.
[Google Pixel Accessories] smgrimes:
I have this one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBHLY4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GM.Iyb8JDK15M

It's...terrible. To reach the fingerprint sensor requires acrobatics or a sideways reach that is wholly uncomfortable. It charges either slowly or rapidly (100 mah to about 1450) at the cases own prerogative. It throws the flash off when taking a picture as well.

I've found that at seemingly random intervals I would have had to taken the phone out to charge it (the case would be at 100% charged and would be trickle charging the phone at such a low level that sometimes it loses a charge instead of gaining one.

Also, it's a fingerprint magnet.

There only seems to be two on Amazon and minus the names they are the exact same case.

For sixty bucks? Don't buy it. Or be prepared to return it. As I'm going to.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] masterm112:
Hey there,

im just installed a few smarthome components here and think about using my old surface rt as a display. The task is easy: Only show the webpage of my smarthome software (lokal website).

But I've got two problems:

1.)

I can't get the lock screen disabled. I've tried with the group policies and the registery hack. The folder to delete the lockscreen (method #3) doesn't exists on my surface.

2.)

How to wake up the surface from standby by hardware?

Theres no problem to generate a digital signal to wake it up (motion sensors, door sensors etc) which switch a relay on. But drilling a hole into the surface to solder it as a paralell connection to the on button isn't a good solution.

So what can I do?

Is there a possibility to use the keyboard connector?

Can i use a USB device to wake it up? Or a bluetooth connection?

Quite good would be a solution using the power cord. I could set my relay into the power cord, which let the surface think the power connector was removed for short time. This brings the surface to wakeup but will it harm the battery or supply?

Anybody an Idea?

Thanks,

Dirk
