[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny89:
HI Guys,

I have the dreaded bootloop on my Nexus 5x. I hadnt flashed the device or run any beta OS'. I had the stock 7.1 image and all of a sudden, pulled the phone out of my pocket and bootloop. I tried my best to flash the phone to remove my data but i am unsure it stayed on long enough. It went through and did its thing in the bootloader and got to the erasing screen for about a second and shut off. My question is, now that devices are encrypted. Should any remaining files on the device be unreachable from technicians? Not that I had anything important anyway it was just a curiosity.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I know that this phone has a dedicated audio DAC. How is the headphone quality on this phone ? Does it get loud enough? This is very important to make before making a purchase decision.

Thanks

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] graffixnyc:
I created this thread so we can discuss build quality of the essential and any issues/defects with the device. Let's hope Essential at least got QC right after getting so much wrong...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] graffixnyc:
Just got my device. First thing I noticed was it has a little backlight bleeding. It's not horrible but there is a little there
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Hmm. Any updates download? And the big question; how is shutter lag and low light photos?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] graffixnyc:
Haven't tested it yet. I'm still setting it up, installing my apps and what not.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] graffixnyc:
Here are some pics showing the light bleed
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
I don't have any backlight bleed, but my screen does have quite a few dead pixels. Rest of the device seems really nice.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] graffixnyc:
Ouch.. Yeah I'd definitely prefer to have a little backlight bleeding that I only see when the screen is black over dead pixels. Are you going to try to get a replacement?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
thats not good and I have a feeling trying to get a replacement will be a hugeeee pain in the arse :(
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
Yeah, going to try and get a replacement. (or return within 15, if thats my only option) As Sloth mentioned - I don't imagine this will be an enjoyable experience.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] faded03cobra:
Light bleed and dead pixels are not acceptable imo. I'll be sending mine back if it has any type of defects.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] worldsoutro:
It looks like the light bleed isnt that bad though
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] graffixnyc:
No, it's really not. I only notice it when the phone boots up. I emailed them to see what they said. In my experience with IPS displays, they have always had bleeding to some extent or another. LG was notorious for backlight bleeding on their older devices at least
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] LastQuark:
The light bleed isn't that bad.

For dead pixels, how may dead pixels do you have? There is a certain number that is still within specifications. Also, are the deal pixels black or bright?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] canned_polar_bear:
god, i hope dead pixels don't start to become an issue. in this day and age that's really a deal-breaker whether it's within specifications or not.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] superchilpil:
Light bleed would be a huge issue for me. Not for what i paid for this phone, and knowing the customer service they have. I'll just send it back.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stewa2jm:
In my experience, I think every IPS display I've had has had varying degrees of light bleed.

Dead pixels will drive me insane.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
I have two completely dead pixels. Top center of the screen. You can see them with the phone completely off, which is odd. (Might be dust under the glass, though doesn't look like that)

I also have 3 stuck / super bright pixels. These are all clustered in the top right.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] EniGmA1987:
Build quality as in feel is great

Build quality as in workmanship is horrible.

Backlight bleed here too. Also:

Essential should have specified far better quality work for the titanium on this phone. It looks like Foxcon just used course grit sandpaper to round the edges of the phone and it both looks and feels terrible. It is such an annoyance that even after 2 days of use I still cant get used to it and every time I ahve the phone in my hand I feel like it is a piece of junk. I had originally decided to give it 2 days before I made up my mind about this but now after 2 days I still hate it too much. Ill give it the week but if I still cant get used to it then the phone is going back :(
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] IM0001:
You've said that but aren't showing us what you mean, does it look rough or just feel rough in the hand? Is it intentional to add grip or is it uneven and visually bad?

Maybe titanium has a more coarse feeling in the hand than machined aluminum since nothing else has used it before?

As for Dead Pixels, yea I don't care what the standard for acceptance is on that, if the number is =>1 I will send it back. Light bleed I can handle, but even a single pixel is a freaking eyesore on a $700 device. Hell No.

No company is immune from them but I will not accept it from any. Heck I got a $39 tablet from the Windows Store with a 1920x1200 screen and it had a bunch. Got it replaced (I think Just the screen as it looks like its been opened/put together again lol) but the replacement screen is perfect now.

[HTC One X] jabarinda9:
Hi Helpers,:fingers-crossed:

have HTC ONE X International / stock rom debloated by denkem // new layout// 22 GB space is full out of 24 gb.

i was using a debloated ROM from Denkem which i found thru xda [ i think ] installed months ago, my phone sometimes lags. will work very slow. if i restart it it will take 4-5 mins may be more. yesterday i decided i will try resurrection rom , so i started taking backup of few apps thru titanium Backup app inside phone memory. as phone was already working slow on top of that phone space further reduced due to backup of apps it became very slow lag of 20-30 seconds once i click anything. So i deleted music and pictures folder and made 2gb space.

Please note : i did not try flashing new recovery or ROM yet. For some reason i tot to restart my phone,.

SINCE then it doest boot.

When i try to do POWER + VOL down , sometimes it does open first screen where it shows LOCKED S-on status HBOOT 1.720000 READING SD CARD OR FAILED TO READ SD CARD .....that is all....it wont go any further. ALSO DURING THIS HBOOT screen if i try to detect it in laptop/ it says USB unrecognised / i tried installing htc driver again but NO meaning. Doest get detected in adb either. i have ADBTOOLKIT .

NOte: when connected to laptop it does show that continous RED light indicating charging.

{FYKI: i have KALI linux, but i am not a pro// incase anyone have a solution which involves linux}

WHAT TO DO NOW ??:cyclops:
[HTC One X] varg300:
Just a thought: Since it says that its unable to read the SD-card, could that indicate that the card is corrupted or broken in any way, and that's why it does not complete the startup/loading...? Have you tried to remove the sd card?
[HTC One X] jabarinda9:
HTC one x doest have a sd card...its has inbuilt memory

Even the old PC in my Dad's office with a 833Mhz Pentium III plays them on WMP flawlessly. On that old machine they look how they should look and that is like being played back 60fps!!!

I'm really annoyed about this :mad: I want playback that looks like 60fps.

Could it be that Deinterlacing doesn't work properly? And yes i already installed a costum codec. Typ ARMv7 NEON.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Are you on stock ROM? And which android version? Do you have deinterlacing enabled?

Note that deinterlacing only works with SW mode decoder.

The most recent app version uploaded to Play Store today has some fixes relating to .ts.
[MX Player] chieco:
Informations about my device Software:

If I enable deinterlacing even more framedrops happen and it gets unwatchable.

H/W or H/W+ doesn't even support the files.

Unfortunately it didn't have much impact on the performance.

Another Question I have is if I activated deinterlacing wich modus does it use? If I play my files with vlc I need it to be Bob. Can I change this Settings somehow?

I also uploaded a Sample maybe u or even the Developer could check this out since I bought the Pro version and helped them out. Please play this file with windows media player even if you have vlc or any other player with the perfect codec set up it will somehow always be better with windows media player. And I hope ur eyes or brain can process the difference in frame rate because some people don't see it. On WMP it should look very fluid nearly as something shot with 60fps and on mx player it looks like I said not like that. In the past i thought it has something to do with the CPU/GPU and that my old S4 simply does not have enough horsepower (which was still weird because i knew even on old Windows machines the MPEG2 codec never made any issues) but then I got me a Note3 because it even supports 4K video playback but nope still same issue. So it must have something to do with the software.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
[MENTION=4162837]chieco[/MENTION]

MX Player plays the video well in SW mode in my S5 without any lag...!!
[MX Player] bleu8888:
Are you running videos from network storage? And then it will be greatly dependent to network speed.

I tryed in on my Nexus 5 (which has inferior computing power to yours) for local and network playback.

But cannot reproduce your issue.
[MX Player] chieco:
First of all thanks everyone for their feedback.

No I don't stream it, it's stored on my internal memory.

Can u guys activate deinterlancing and see if it plays back normal?

And what about the framerate? I know it playsback "fine" but can't u guys see a difference in the framerate? Please take a look at this 15 Sec. Clip and pay attention to the first seconds where the Camera moves from person to person and maybe watch it few times on ur PC so that ur eye/brain gets used to the framerate and then look at it on ur Android Device. I'm not making this up :crying: And here another example its the Refrain from the first clip there is even more fast movement and camera zooms. Also it's hard to see sometime but there is also a "comb" effect happening. But since the Display's have such high ppi it not easy to spot.

Please guys it can't be only me that notices this :crying::crying::crying:
[MX Player] bleu8888:
First of all, MX Player does not drop frames in SW decoindg mode.

Instead, if video decoding is slow, video processing will be slowed down and a/v sync will be lost gradually.

Second,I tried hyoketsu-120316.ts on development mode and saw all logs coming out but cannot find any lags or frame drops on my Nexus 5.

Finally, I cannot understand why you think WMV plays videos like 60fps. It is just 30fps and I felt same non-smooth frame changes in first few seconds with WMV.

FYI, I used WMV 12 on Windows 7 64bits.

I am not sure but your monitor may have special deinterlacing feature. Some high end monitors put intermediate frames to make video playback smooth. For example, they make 30fps videos to 60fps or 120fps by creating intermediate frames in chipset level. Or your WMP may have some advanced deinterlacing filters intalled. Anyway I cannot find any difference with default WMV configuration and regular monitor. If this is the case, it will need more research.
[MX Player] chieco:
I swear to God bleu8888 I'm not making this up WMP does Play those files looking like 60fps!!! And I finally found a really good Sample so please for the last time check it out and report :crying: you have to believe me.

I have a old MacBook on that I've installed Windows 7 (Build 7600) the WMP Version 12.0.7600.16385 the screen resolution is 1280x800 @ 60Hz

For example the newest VLC Version don't plays MPEG2 as smooth as WMP. The best result I get when I activate DeInterlancing and choose X for the mode but even then it's not exactly that smooth/fluid.

On my main system OSX I use a old version of VLC 1.1.9 newer versions struggle playing MPEG2 as well. And on there the DeInterlancing Mode is called Bob other modes can't play it smooth.

If I activate DeInterlancing on mxplayer which mode will it use? Can u edit the codec and change the mode?

I wish we could meet and I would show you what I mean. I really want this to work properly so bad u can't believe it.

No I use the build in Display which doesn't have special features.

Tomorrow I try to get my hands on a Nexus 5 and see if it's the same.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Something must have changed regarding MPEG-2 compatibility.

I'm not sure if the Note 3 has hardware MPEG-2 (H.262) support; the fact that H/W doesn't work suggests that it does not.

If you transfer the video from a .ts container to mp4, does it make a difference? I would imagine not, but I'm interested to see what happens anyways.

Also, in mp4 the system stock media player will probably be able to play it. I'm curious if the system app can play it without lag.
[MX Player] chieco:
Do you know any MP4 Muxer that allows MPEG2 files? I don't.
[MX Player] bleu8888:
Ok Chieco, you are right. WMP plays this sample video far better than VLC and MX.

Actually MX does not have enough deinterlacing supports. This will be improved in the future.

Thanks.
[MX Player] chieco:
:crying: Thank You

My dream is to be able to watch all my videos that r like 99,1% in MPEG2 buttery smooth like on WMP. My eyes/brain r used to it being like 60fps looking and I really notice the difference really quick. Thank you for acknowledging it and for doing something about it I really appreciate it.:good:
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
I'm pretty sure that Handbrake can put MPEG2 into mp4, since it uses ffmpeg to encode the MPEG2. Mind trying it out?

I'm not sure about this second point, but some of the newer Samsung roms have media players that support mkv. See if yours will do MPEG2 in mkv.
[MX Player] chieco:
wait a minute... you mean re-encode my files not remux! HELL NO.... there is no way that I do that. Isn't it one of the best advantage of Android to be able just to copy whatever file format video u want and then install a great app like mxplayer and enjoy ur video? Thats the reason why I newer watched a single video on my iPhone. Besides my computer is so old that it takes ages to convert a video. And the video quality suffers from re-encoding. And especially on my MPEG2 files the "Magic" 60fps effect gets lost. I am using mxplayer for years now and I always blamed the slow processing power of my phone but i was fed up with this thats why I created this Thread and i can't be happier because bleu8888 recognized the problem and said he will fix this in the future! I surely don't know how long it will take but knowing he is doing something about it gives me patience.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Ah, right, I forgot that handbrake has no video passthru option; it's only got audio passthru. Oh well, in that case then yes, there is no simple way to get MPEG2 into an mp4 container.

SOLVED!!

Hello,

I am having problems connecting my P2 to Windows 7.

The cable should be fine, at least it is working to connect my Redmi 3S to the same computer as MTP-device.

When I connect the phone the usb-options is displayed so the phone is aware it is connected to a computer.

But then Windows 7 says the driver could not be installed.

When manually trying to update the driver it says it is already up do date.

Looking for solutions I found this thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797344

But my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{EEC5AD98-8080-425F-922A-DABF3DE3F69A} does not contain upper or lowerfilters.

Does anyone please have any idea on how to fix this?
