[LG G6 Questions and Answers] BBlazed62:
tight radius glass cuts are a weak point for compression/bending in a pocket

camera glass shattered while in a sweatpant pocket, sitting on the couch. Took video of my daughter, put it in a pocket, took it out 5 min later, with a complete spider pattern. The break radiates away from the round filleted cut out for the flash. This, IMO, is a design flaw. Clearly a pressure point against a tight radius glass cut out. I don't want to waste time with LG repairing the stupid thing, i just want the replacement glass to be available for purchase. takes 2 minutes to swap out (peel up the broken glass, plop down the new adhesive - as i have found in researching this is a common problem on the V20).

Make me an offer.
[Moto X Q&A] publicanimal:
Subject line.

I am running Lineage 13 right now, but this is a general question. I haven't fiddled with Android Pay in a while but I want to try to get it to work. Apparently as of about 6 months ago Android Pay doesn't work on some phones with unlocked bootloaders. Is there a work around that anybody as gotten to work on there 2013 Moto X?

I am rooted with Magisk right now but I think the unlocked bootloader is my primary stumbling block. In general I don't need root on a day to day basis.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] rubyknight:
First off, I'm sorry if this is a duplicate.. I've searched as hard as I can but I don't see any other threads that fit my issue.

My stock, unrooted Google Pixel (from the Play Store, pre-ordered) is currently experiencing a meltdown after I created a new profile on the phone for a 6 year old girl to play games on it. I've factory wiped the phone from the Backup & Reset menu but the issue persisted through a reset. I've been looking at the possibility of rooting the phone and flashing a stock image to see if that helps, but I'm asking for help first to see if anyone has any ideas. The phone has been great for me, I've had no camera flares, no lag or overheating issues, no sound issues. It's been a great phone which is why I've tried to avoid rooting it. The phone still seems to be in perfect working order, but no sound from headphone jack, earphone, or any other, and no videos will play.

Symptoms:

-Can't play music. Spotify loads and acts like it's playing but no sound comes out (headphones and speakers both)

-Can't play videos: Youtube error:There was a problem while playing, Facebook videos freeze, downloaded MP4's in the stock Photo's app also freeze. GIF's will play, but no videos

-Can't make phone calls, speaker or otherwise. It won't play any sounds at all. The phone app seems to work, but no sound.

-Alarms are muted, although they still cause vibrations if I set it in my alarm app

-Basically: no sound, no videos. Period.

[IMG="youtube"]http://i65.tinypic.com/2ywz7kw.png[/IMG]

What works:

Everything else. Texting, data, games, camera, etc. Bluetooth, Wifi, and NFC all seem to work as well.

Cause:

I created a second profile secured by a six year old child's fingerprint so she could use my phone freely. I installed 3 games, as well as Youtube Kids, and nothing else. When she started the games, no sound would play. I switched back to my main profile and realized I had left it in Do Not Disturb mode which somehow carried over to the child's profile, even though do not disturb wasn't on in the child's profile. I went to sleep that night, and woke up to find my phone vibrating instead of a ringtone for my alarm. Then it got stuck in a bootloop for a bit when I turned the alarm off. It eventually stopped restarting and the above symptoms have been permanent for the last day and a half.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jonnywhite:
I'm having the same issue but I think it's due to the Android 7.1.2 update that came today.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] rubyknight:
Good to know I'm not the only one then. I've been running the update for over a week with no issues though, so I still wonder why it happened out if the blue like that.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] rubyknight:
Just wanted to post an update to this to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

I got a security update today of about 64mb. When it installed and restarted my phone, sound magically came back. YouTube videos started working as well. But for some reason Snapchat videos wouldn't record sound. So I rebooted my phone and now it's broken again.. No sound, no videos.

Any ideas??

Just a thought: why do you want a custom ROM for a phone that is already very good at stock, that has still the manufacturer's warranty, that costs +/- 800€ here in Portugal and that flashing a custom ROM can have the chance of bricking it? :confused: I wouldn't spend +/- 800€ in a phone to brick it after that. . .

What's with all the Knox hate? The fact that Knox exists in Samsung ROMs is the reason we're able to have device-wide adblocking and package disabling without having to hack the device, and while still retaining the ability to do OTA updates.

There are probably a lot of other features that used to require root, or custom firmware, that we can now simply do with apps, all thanks to Knox.

Yeah that's not like worthy. With Knox gone does Samsung Pay still work? I know Knox is a security system. Do OTA updates still work without Knox present?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] martylavender:
I asked this in another thread where they were talking about flashing with a firmware that had KNOX removed. I understand what KNOX is. I understand its purpose. My question is, if we flash with a firmware that has no KNOX enabled, what does this mean for us?

Do OTA updates still work?

Does Samsung Pay still work?

What are the shortcomings of KNOX not being enabled/existing?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ramoneluis:
To flash any custom rom, you need to flash a custom recovery. This will make you knox 0x1.

This will bronken your samsung pay, secure folder...

if you go back to stock, you will not enable more to use samsung pay. But Ota will work...

[Nexus 6P General] marbertshere:
So, I had fantastic battery life on MM. After N, it has not been great. A lot of people report the same. I also talked to people that went back to M, but didn't see the benefits return.

What I'm thinking is that our batteries are quickly degrading at this point (if you've had it since launch or not long after). A couple months ago I ran Accubattery and it reported that my battery health was at 89%. I ran it just recent and now my battery is at 81% it's designed capacity.

Is it possible for a battery to degrade that quickly? Is this to be expected? I'm debating whether or not I should get my battery replaced or hold off and buy the OP5 when it comes out. Anyway, I love this phone.
[Nexus 6P General] tafo:
Im experiencing the same problem as many users have it too .Accubattery reported that i have 56% of battery life , I don't know if it's accurate or not(don't forget accubattery measures battery life from software input through comparisons)...but in real life.. we really have a bad battery-life problem. technically, im convinced that it is a hardware issue( due to faulty battery or fast degradation...), because many Nexus 6p users have replaced the battery and it worked as it should.., but on the other hand, it is really weired that this issue has existed after nougat update! Moreover, some pixel users reported the same problem( different phone generation, different core hardware, different manufacturer, same software developer )and it was fixed by google in 7.1.2 as i read recently. I'm really confused ?
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
Have you noted a decrease with another phone using the same app? I have seen anyone use the battery capacity part of Accu outside the 6P. It could be the app measuring it wrong and the same readings could be happening to other phones as well.
[Nexus 6P General] tafo:
I bought pixel xl for a Couple of weeks and then i returned it back...I used accubattery on it and it showed that I have 105% of battery life, but yes i feel its inaccurate
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
They definitely cut corners on the battery, Chinese electronics you buy online (tablets, etc.) are known for this and I feel like that's what happened here as well. I wonder if the people getting replacements are getting stock ones or from other companies, since I'm worried a stock one would have the same issues after a brief amount of time.
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
Haha, that happened to me too! When I saw Accu say 105% battery capacity on my 1 year old 6P, a prompt uninstall of it followed.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

Can't speak for others, but from personal experience, the 6Ps that I have seen behave just like other phones. Unfortunately every phone manufacturer may have their issues, I have seen countless battery issues on other phones, including early shutdowns that has even plagued iOS devices.

It's a good thing that manufacturers offer warranty. Lemon law should also apply in those unrepairable situations.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
It is definitely a much bigger issue on this phone... It is very common, while other phones may have issues, all do to some degree no doubt, it is a huge problem with the 6p and is happening to a very large number of people.
[Nexus 6P General] marbertshere:
I can't say that I have only because I don't have another phone to test it on. It could be inaccurate, honestly. But there's no doubt that my battery life sucks compared to what it was on 6.0.1.
[Nexus 6P General] jal3223:
Why did you return it?
[Nexus 6P General] tafo:
For a reason that pixel xl didn't convince me. With all the advantages of pixel xl( SD 821..outstanding battery life, superb camera performance) i felt it as an incremental upgrade!!! So paying worth of 700$ is unjustifiable, thus i took a decision even to go for OnePlus one 5 or to go for pixel xl 2

Another​ thing That flashing ROMs and adding mods are waaay easier than pixel phones.. its really pain in the neck if u did something wrong??.. This is my personal opinion.
[Nexus 6P General] B3501:
Google sent out an internal memo to all support staff instructing them to accept returns after the warranty was over because of the battery problem. Its a know defect and something that is far more widespread than it happening to the odd phone.
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
That's great news! That means that nobody will have issues anymore.
[Nexus 6P General] B3501:
That was back in December.
[Nexus 6P General] esoh:
I'm assuming that this is only if you bought it on Play Store, right? I bought at BB. Anyone have any luck getting returns from non-Play Store purchases?
[Nexus 6P General] B3501:
Yeah, Playstore only.
[Nexus 6P General] marbertshere:
I'm really considering getting the one plus 5. Pixel looks amazing but I can't justify the price tag
[Nexus 6P General] thesebastian:
The Huawei battery that comes with the 6P is really bad considering many of them (like the one I had before I did the replacement) lose more than 50% battery capacity in less than 2 years and stop reporting precisely the % from 100% to 1% causing instants shutdowns.

I highly recommend you to replace your battery with a non Huawei battery like the X-Longer. It's as good as the stock battery when the phone is brand new. Now I honestly can't tell if this battery will lose less than 10% in 2 years (regular good batteries) or more than 10% in 2 years (Nexus 6P stock battery, at least many of them)

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] marbertshere:
Did you do the replacement yourself or have someone else do it? How painful was the process?
[Nexus 6P General] thesebastian:
I did it myself. I've equipped before doing it.

- Cameron sino battery

- heat gun

- precision knife and one poker card

- and some generic repair tools.

The glass is not the worst part. It just requires patience I feel that I can remove the glass many times without an issue.

Now in my case...the removal of the cover was the most difficult part...

It's painful but I had a unusable brick before...(2 hours SoT and shutdown at 20%. Now I have a usable phone...4:30 SoT and shutdown at 1%. So I don't care if I estetically damaged a bit the corner).

[Nexus 6P General] Born<ICs:
I've had my 6P since the first month they shipped for Google Sept/Oct 2015. I had decent battery life until recently. Never experienced shutdowns or anything weird. I've been rooted since day one but running stock. Was on 7.0 until finally flashing April 7.1.2 the other day.

Installed Accubattery and health is at 60%. Since april update battery seems to drain far more rapidly. Usage is mainly web surfing via wifi.

Guess I need to find best available replacement battery soon. Is it ok to buy battery in advance and lying around for a few months before installing?

For best battery health what are do's and don'ts.

At home I often just left it plugged in while in use and or charged to 100% then again when down to ~30%. I'd leave it plugged in overnight. Is using fast charger all the time not good?
[Nexus 6P General] __NBH__:
I thought the battery hit was due to nougat, on marshmallow i had amazing battery, like over 6 hours screen on time consistently. Since nougat i get 5 and my phone shut down once at 20% saying the battery was empty. I still like the phone but also need a new case and screen protector and am wondering if it's worth spending more on it or cutting my losses and upgrading while it still works.
[Nexus 6P General] Born<ICs:
If you rma through google what battery are they actually installing? Original factory one or something else?
[Nexus 6P General] esoh:
So Accubatt is showing 45% of max capacity (1518 mAh of 3450 mAh, and I bought it in Jun 16) and now shutting off at 75%. So I pretty much get an hour of phone time before it dies. Brutal. I'm going to try a battery replacement myself. In the meantime, has anyone tried that old trick of putting your phone in the freezer to "reenergize" the battery? Since I'm replacing the battery anyway and I'm just waiting for it to arrive, would putting in the freezer do anything else to potentially damage the phone? Screen maybe?
