Was it hard to fix USB port? Mine is busted and I have to charge wireless and I'm getting tired of it. Was it pricey? Thanks

Hi... You can take a look at this video:

[youtube]YVHb_uf6HSs[/youtube]

A friend of mine had his USB port damaged too. He bought the component from an online shop for 1$ or less. Shipping from China was more expensive than the USB port, lol... He disassembled the motherboard and we took it to an electronic shop nearby. The guy was cool since I already brang him a few things to repair. He charged something like 10$ to do the job.

Approximately 20$ to replace isn't too bad I think... :)

Hi there, I got this phone 2 weeks ago and I was wondering why my battery life it is so bad (with any ROM, ATM I'm using PIXEL ROM where I get the best battery life)View attachment 4041596View attachment 4041597, so I went to AIDA64 and Kernel Auditor, and it shows as can you see

It shows 2000mah instead of 2910mah (even how AIDA64 says)

I tried with battery calibration and same problem, what is causing my problem? Do I need go to change the battery?

(The traduction of AIDA64 would be, Capacidad (informado por Android) = Capacity (Informed by Android)

Capacidad (desde base de datos) = Capacity (from Data base))

Hi,

I own 6045K and use stock rom. AIDA64 shows 2000mAh reported capacty on my device too.

But I don't seem to have battery life problem. My phone lasts a day on heavy usage ( listen steamed music on 4g for 4 hours a day, and 2 hours of screen time, play simple games, watch youtube, etc...) and that's fair enough for me.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persona78:
The 2000mah is written in software like a safety measure. ( So don't happen like Samsung, Pfffff!) The 2910 can be the max capacity but is unsafe!

If you have high consumption check your apps, or maybe you spend to much time on Internet like Facebook, etc.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panchovix:
Hmm after calibrating I get now like 4:30 to 5 hours screen, is supposed to be like that or it should be more?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ElementalWindX:
Is the pixel better in terms of not fighting the manufacturer to root the phone and rom it? Does it allow the built in call recording (like editing the xml file on a rooted galaxy?)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
It's a Google phone, there is no fight rooting or roming or moding it. It's wide open. Hit the unlock slider, fastboot flash unlock. Done.

Verizon version is a bit different. So far no problem as long as you unlock it before it updates. That may change, but so far so good.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ElementalWindX:
That's what I was hoping to hear.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nabbed:
It is the carrier that locks phones. Like Verizon. Both Samsung and Google leave their phones open by default.

Of course, you may lose some functionality on rooting. Like security features and pay systems.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ElementalWindX:
Yea I don't care about pay systems, or the built in security. None of the card readers at the stores around here even do NFC devices. I always have my cards on me too. My biggest concern is being able to record phone calls automatically. I seriously hate how Verizon locks them down. Right now I have an S6 G920V on version QA3 I'm trying to figure out how to root and have no idea how to at this moment.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nabbed:
Samsung Pay works with old magnetic card readers where you swipe your card, because they bought the company which developed a special magnetic sensing/beaming chip called MST.

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00043865/

So it basically works everywhere except where you need to insert the card inside the machine like gas stations or ATMs. And it gives you points to redeem goodies from Samsung, like gift cards or their hardware.

I was really enjoying Samsung Pay when I had S6 Edge and Note 7. I didn't have to carry a wallet - just a case with a driver's license and a hundred dollar bill. I really miss it.

Now, Verizon is awful in Midwest, where I live. It's the most overpriced carrier with zero benefits to back up their high prices. I switched from Note 7 on US Cellular prepaid, where I was paying $37 per month, to Pixel XL on Project FI, where I'm now paying $25 per month. Aside from a few simple quirks, I think FI is perfect for a low data user such as myself. Stay away from Verizon.

As far as rooting Verizon devices... I think you may be SOL. It varies depending on the device/software version, but usually they are locked pretty tight.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
The Pixel is a much better choice simply based on the development efforts and the quicker updates from Google, which helps developers get their custom firmwares out much faster with the newest features.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nabbed:
'

7.1.1 Broke Bluetooth functionality. It seems like every single update in the beginning of an update cycle only introduces more bugs. It is a common theme and trend in modern technology. Another trend in technology, most bugs get fixed after about a year. But this phone become obsolete after 6 months.

We, the consumers, cannot win - technology companies release buggy products because they can, and they love quick and flashy profits, Quality Assurance seems to be taking a back seat to corporate profits. Because we, the consumers, seem to buy anything to please us in these times.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Bluetooth is working fine on my phone. In fact, I'm not experiencing any problems on my phone. I am on the latest build of DU 11.1 based on NOF26V.

And I'm not sure how you are coming to the conclusion that this model will be obsolete in 6 months. It has OS updates guaranteed all the way through Android P...

Regardless of all that, I still think it is vastly better to develop for a phone that is getting constant updates from the manufacturer (Google) rather than one that is typically behind (Samsung).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
Infinitely better. I loved my S7 while I had it, but the root method was so terrible and caused lag, heat, and poor battery life regardless of any "fix" for it. It's a shame because I loved the phone and would NOT have switched if it weren't for those issues listed. Needless to say, I NEED root on my phone and I wasn't willing to give up any of those things to get it. The root method for this phone is far better and gives me the freedom I want with MY phone. The constant on time updates, and general smoothness of the phone help as well :)

With that being said, I would not be against giving Samsung another try. I love their phones, but I don't care for their locked bootloaders. If the S8 comes with a developer edition or root is easily achieved I'd have no issues going back. I'd also have no issue staying with future Pixel phones. :good:

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Just so you guys understand why the root method for the S7 caused those issues...

In order to root the S7, you needed to flash a developer kernel. This is allowed even with the locked bootloader of the S7 since it is signed and accepted by the bootloader.

As we all know, a kernel can cause a lot of issues with the phone, and that is exactly what happened with the S7. That kernel was not tweaked properly and especially not for real-world usage. But it did allow us to root the phone, so it was a sacrifice (in my opinion).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
I understood that just fine. It was all the issues caused by root that made me jump ship to the Pixel. As for the other guy (who obviously didn't understand the problems that root caused) I can't say for sure what his issue was. Just trying to help the OP with his decision through my experience with both devices.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bbacon:
I agree with what most people here are saying, I used to have a Galaxy S7 Edge, I loved everything about it, except for the locked bootloader. As previously mentioned it could be rooted, but there just weren't many roms out there and there was also a slight lag and poor battery life that occured after flashing the engineer boot. I just missed being able to customize it as much as I could all my old HTC devices. I switched the the Pixel XL 3 weeks ago rooted it day 1 and haven't missed the S7 Edge once
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
I came from an S7 Edge as well. It was an excellent phone if you didn't require root access. But I like to customize. I had it for 7 months the went to the Pixel XL.

Just tried that, it booted me back to the recovery. The only thing that it said on my computer's side is "resuming boot..." and some time statistics. Any commands I can run to help you guys help me?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] followmsi:
Format data, not wipe, inside twrp.

If you still have problems, Install system vendor and boot.img again.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techy121592:
Ok, will try that and come back to you. Thank you.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techy121592:
I tried formatting the data partition, which didn't seem to make much of a difference, also I tried installing the boot and vendor images through twrp last night. Then vendor image applied without any problems, but the boot image didn't get installed, it looked like it was trying to reference the boot image like it is a directory.

Would I want to extract the image and then reference the directory? Though I don't know if twrp will let me point at a directory rather than a file.

Whenever I flashed roms, I tend to use fastboot, and then root it with twrp. Instead of that, would I be able to install the factory image zip from google? Or could I safely install all of the images(except recovery) through twrp individually? Do you think there is a flag or setting that I need to set in android, if so do you think I could install a custom rom and set the setting?

Sorry if these questions make me sound like a noob, but I am trying to be thorough.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Just use wugs or skipsoft toolkit to flash to stock or if you know how together around in fastboot flash stock. You could just download pure nexus and flash it via twrp. These are just suggestions, attempt at your own risk.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] followmsi:
As we don't know the full story and we want to get your Pixel C back to normal ..

Pls install all partitions from latest google factory image via fastboot .. start with the bootloader.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-dragon-google_smaug.7900.27.0.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Pls delete boot first - before you flash it.

fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Do this for all partitions except recovery .. keep TRWP.

Do not boot into system and boot directly into TWRP and flash SuperSU.zip.

Reboot into system ..
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techy121592:
Clockcycle - after I failed to use Google flash-all script, I swapped to using wugs. When I tried skipsoft like 8+ months ago it didn't support the final release of Android Nougat, only the rc's. Nowadays, is skipsoft better than wugs?

Clockcycle & followingmsi - Thank you for your suggestions, I'm out and about, so I'll try it once I get back home tonight; I didn't want you to think I was being unresponsive.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techy121592:
I got the results that I was expecting, it doesn't mean anything to me, but maybe you guys will know. I typed, "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-dragon-google_smaug.7900.27.0.img" and got the following.

target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'bootloader'...
OKAY [ 0.624s]
FAILED (remote: unsupported command)
finished. total time: 0.640s

and when I typed, "fastboot erase boot" I got the following.

******** Did you mean format this ext4 partition?
erasing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: unsupported command)
finished. total time: 0.016s

Because of that, I tried formatting also, it gave me some output that looked like it was formatting it(showed me the inodes and everything,) but that was followed by the same "FAILED" message that you can see above.

When I was going through the menu to get to fastboot, I noticed that the bootloader must've got applied successfully the first time, when I was originally using the flash-all script, which is when this whole "adventure" began, because I saw that I had bootloader 7900.27.

I really feel like I am missing something that is staring me right in the face.

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stippLe:
So literally yesterday i had my Pixel C doing same thing after i unlocked bootloader and it got stuck on Erasing screen and then after hard reboot got stuck on google Splash screen. contacted google for help they didnt know crap. haha go figure. Of course this was after i tried a few things myself. They were sending me a new device which i canceled cause i fixed it later.

i was returning same crap for fastboot everytime couldnt do anything, from what i understand we messed up the Partitions somehow. So how to fix it, what might work for you as it worked for me.

I was on 7.1.1 Build number not important. I booted into Bootloader fastboot then to android recovery (stock), press PWR+VOL up to see menu for it as least for my pixel for other devices to each is own. Do a cache wipe and factory reset. when complete hold power and vol down to reboot.

Update system to latest firmware. somehow by letting OTA updates i did like 4 of them to get to 7.1.2 and then rebooted into Bootloader Fastboot Magically worked again so i preceded with root and what have you. all working Perfect now. Guess the OTA 7.1.2 update fixed all the partitions. Forget what specifically was missing from the partition but yeah. fastboot wouldn't let me do anything myself. IE flash all bat flash or boot anything. and ADB wouldn't flash anything.

of course i had to relock the bootloader in order for all this to work. Something about 7.1.2 just seemed to let me do what i want. on 7.1.1 it did not like unlocked bootloader not sure why. But im not a expert. =)

Back in day just used Odin to get back to factory not sure if thats a possiblity these days if someone knows let me know i would like to understand better.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seattleite:
Hello all. I haven't poked or prodded, or gone "under the hood" since I picked up the Nexus 6P at launch. I started to have problems with battery life when the Nougat betas started rolling out. So I jumped to the OnePlus 3T. Things are better, but I still miss the actual Google experience. I'm curious if it would be possible to mod the 6P to give me all the things I want. Below is my list. Let me know if it's possible, please, and I'll try to figure it out on my own. A lot has changed since my Nexus 5...

First, I'd like to modify the build prop to where I can get access to the pixel launcher directly from the play store. I know this is easy, but I'm not sure if it will work with the other wishes.

Second, I'd like to be able to run with Franco's kernel. I think this would greatly help my battery life issues.

I'd like to be able to keep Android pay, as I see it as a huge security benefit (plus, I'm trying to get down to just my phone and keys, no wallet).

Lastly, if possible, I'd like to relock the bootloader. I know this one isn't very likely, but like I said, it's a wish list of sorts.

Any and all advice is appreciated!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richii0207:
Based on your needs, sound like keeping your phone running on stock unrooted is the best idea. You can just install the pixel launcher from apkmirror.

Magisk is able to hide root and let you retain the ability to use Android pay, for now. In the future, it may not be able to and you would need to be on stock for it the work. You'll get updates without the headache of having to use a computer or flash different recoveries just to update.

In terms of battery, a 3450mah battery in a nonbloated phone should be yielding you good battery life. If not, check for a rogue app.

Rooting and modding isn't the same as it was in '09, it's gotten to the point where it's just more of a hassle and headache just to get it running as it should/properly. Android has gone a long way in terms of security measures which is a huge plus but it also hurts the modding ability at the same time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
You would need to be rooted to use a custom kernel and you can't have a locked bootloader and be rooted on the 6P. If you want to use Android Pay on a rooted phone Magidisc and PhilsSU are the only options that I know of. You will get better battery life with Franco's kernel but it will never be great on this phone. Can't the one plus 3 be modded to give you a more Google experience? I read that the developer activity was very active with that phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seattleite:
Totally derped on the custom kernel requiring root. The 3T does have a pretty deep community, but there's a little bit of a disconnect between the 3 and 3T. Another big thing for me is the touch latency. I swipe to type on the Gboard, and I'm always having to manually type words, because the 3T can't keep up. Never had the issue with the 6P though. Thanks for the advice on the 6P though. Might make it a weekend project, before switching my DD.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
That's interesting. I thought the 3T was supposed to be a pretty fast phone. I'm in the market for something to replace my 6p since it probably won't last too far past the end of the warranty. It sounds like the 3T isn't it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seattleite:
Oh, it's definitely a fast phone! Screen latency just isn't up to Nexus level. It's a great phone, no question. I would just like to jump back to "pure" Android sometimes. 3T, IMO, no better phone, for the value. Very customizable for sure, and solid as a rock (yay for 6GB of RAM!). Just feels slightly different from where I've made my home, since the Galaxy Nexus. The updates are even getting regular, to where you shouldn't worry about being left behind. I just miss carrying a little piece of Google with me from time to time.

My 2 year old Prophet has served me well. Now it is a little "sick". I lose signal in low reception areas (other phones display 1-2 bars). Worse, when I swap the batteries, sometimes the screen is all white with some lines on it. I have not tried your solution by pressing the red button. But I discovered, if my screen is in this state, I plug it in (recharge) and leave it for several hours. After that, it becomes normal again.

I've dropped my Prophet several times too, and the service center said if I have to change the mainboard, it'll cost me about US$300-400. The phone is probably only worth US$200 in the second hand market - but in good condition. So I now use it as a back-up emergency phone, and a dedicated GPS unit for my car.

I did a little search and found an app called Wi-Fi Manager. Success! It sees the network.

But wait, another problem! When i try to connect - it displays a message that

a standard Android doesn't support IBSS type networks (Ad hoc).

What can i do? I don't have any other way to share Nokia's internet,

and don't want to get the SIM card out, put it in Xperia, than again put it out,

mount it in that frame (different SIMcard sizes) and i need to have the Nokia on and be able to answer calls and write messages

on it. Be available all the time.

I have rooted the Xperia, soft is original, debranded (4.1.2 LT22i 6.2.A.1.100 Central Europe),

installed by myself with Flashtool.

How can i modify it to be able to connect to my shared "IBSS" network ?
