[Nexus 5X General] DarthMaul14:
Yes I agree in so many ways. Google used to be great. I remember so many people used to have Nexuses( or nexi?) back in the day but most of the people I know have switched to an OEM like Samsung or LG. One of my friends is a hardcore Nexus fan. He has had all the Nexuses except for the 6p and Galaxy Nexus. He currently has a 5x and I wonder what he's gonna do because he only likes stock Android. I'm not even sure where the pixel is headed. I still have my doubts about the first and second generation pixel. I don't even know why Google decided to add the edge sense feature. In the past the phone, charging cable and charging brick was made by the company who made the hardware of the phone and the software was always stock Android (no additional features) but for the pixel they are adding to the software with unique features. I also hate Motorola. I'm not a fruit fan but I gotta admit they are doing pretty good so far. Their devices are still supported and their geekbench scores are just amazing. I don't know what to upgrade to. I only want stock Android but there's no way I'm gonna buy a pixel(even if I have the money for it) and Motorola is headed down a dark path. Huawei seems like a great company (with their AI and machine learning which is impressive) but their software looks ugly. Their icon pack reminds me of the gingerbread days. I don't like TouchWiz and LG's UX seems sluggish (I still haven't gained their trust after the bootloop issue). I might buy a one plus 5t but I'm not sure. I generally buy mid range phones and I really wished I could have bought the moto x4 android one edition. I want to stay out of Samsung and LG mid rangers because there are so many of them, they have underpowered processors and they are most likely never gonna get any future updates. Also, they don't have a true mid ranger which rivals against other mid rangers like the g5 plus and honor 6x.
[Nexus 5X General] bimmerdriver:
If you're looking for a mid-range android phone, there aren't a lot of options, especially if you like a "pure" android.

My son has a oneplus 5 and he likes it, except for the fingerprint reader and the camera, which he doesn't like at all. It's a decent phone and the 5t will be an improvement. The nokia 8 looks pretty nice and the nokia 9 should be an improvement.

Pixel doesn't interest me at all. The 2 XL is too large and the 2 is just a warmed over pixel. It looks like it's a couple of years old, which it basically is. It's a lazy poor excuse for a phone. I'm so disgusted with google, they would have to knock it out of the park before I would buy another one of their phones. Their service and support suck and their products are hardly impressive.

There isn't a lot of love for samsung, but I was happy with the GS5 and the GS7. I could be happy with a GS8 or GS9. The two things I don't like about samsung are touchwiz (which isn't nearly as bad as it used to be) and knox, but you can live with them.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Guess I'll chime in with a little something of my own.

Back before the 5X was released, everybody dumped on it because the 6P coming as well, the "superior" version. And, to an extent, everyone was right to do so. The 6P had superior specs in everyway. But I still went ahead and bought my 5X on launch and I was happy, for a time. Then, the boot loop happened. What's funny about that, is the fact that it was virtually unheard of (correct me if I'm wrong), until the issue became insanely widespread at the same time, more or less a year later. And then, it started happening with the 6P. I think a little less severe than the 6P, but still happening nonetheless. So I got my replacement, which Google honored even though the warranty was way out, and I continued to enjoy my 5X. Because honestly, this device was really good for it's time. But the truth is, that time was very short lived because shortly after the release of these devices, better things started coming out almost immediately and instantly the 5X felt dated. But! It was kept alive by the wonderful dev scene we have here.

With that being said, this phone is just past it's prime, and now we're in the Pixel era of the Nexus line, which just costs too damn much (and even have their own sets of hardware problems) so I'm looking to finally pass this phone on. I've been eyeing the 5T a lot since the rumors about it started. Snapdragon 835 processor, same as the recent flagships of this year, a decent camera that can hold it's own against the competition, a beautiful design (yes, whatever, it looks like an iPhone knockoff but I truly love that design), decent sized battery, fingerprint reader on the back where it should be. The 5T is ticking all of the boxes I'm looking for in my next smartphone upgrade. I don't really care that the screen isn't QHD or whatever because honestly, any screen is gonna be better than the 5X, so I'm truly not missing out on much. The only thing I know I'm gonna be upset about, is the sacrificing of first-in-line Android OS updates. No matter how much a company boasts about how near stock Android is on its device, there's always gonna be a wait for updates, rather than getting it immediately as soon as Google pushes it. That's something I'm gonna have to get used to, leaving the Nexus line. But at this point, the upgrade is well worth it.
[Nexus 5X General] DarthMaul14:
Honestly I feel like the Nexus 5x would have been an awesome phone. I don't care if it's made of plastic, if it has a large camera bump and if it doesn't have a qhd display. If Google would have decided to put in the same snapdragon processor as the 6p and 3gb of ram, then it would have been an awesome phone. There's something about the color and design of the phone which I love. The ice blue color looks beautiful and honestly the black and quartz white. If it didn't have the bootloop issue and if it had the same specs as the 6p I would have bought it over my g5 plus which I currently own. The 808 was ok but my friend said that it could barely run Snapchat. I can't believe that the life time of the 5x is coming to an end. It felt like Marshmallow was yesterday. It's going to receive 8.1 and maybe a few security patches. I'm glad that Google decided to extend the time the 5x gets updates for. Honestly I feel like 8.0 is going to drain battery so 7.1.2 is what 5x users should stay on. I still can't understand why I love the design of the 5x so much. It's hard to look for a phone running stock Android and that gets updates first for a mid range(ish) price *cough cough pixel*.
[Nexus 5X General] paradoxiumwind:
Yeah it's a real shame that the Pixel line is such a disappointment. I mean, no headphone jack? ****ing hell google.

The Nexus support officially kind of ended yesterday. Android P Dev 1 came out and the Nexus 5x and 6p don't officially support it.

Does Anyone know if the SnapDragon Note 8's support QC 4+? If it does does anyone know if there are USB C cables that support it or suggest some cables? If it does not anyone recommend non-OEM cables that will charge the Note 8 fast (looking for 6ft-10ft).

[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] sk8223:
Hey all. The LeEco Pro3 is my first phone without a headphone jack, and I'm really curious about one thing: the included USB-C 3.5mm headphone adapter. The build quality doesn't seem particularly great so I'm guessing it'll break quite easily (I hope not).

Now, I stuff my phone into my pocket all the time with the headphone adapter connected, and it's always stuck at an angle. Unfortunately it has to be like that for me to fit it into my pockets, otherwise it dangles out and stays unprotected. I travel in bad weather (live in Canada), so I absolutely need everything to stay inside my pockets or my electronics will get wet. Sadly, the headphone adapter gets bent every time.

So I'm wondering... how long did your headphone adapter stay alive? When did it stop working? Is it still working? And can anyone recommend me other USB-C headphone adapters that work with LeEco phones? I do have a spare original LeEco adapter to use if mine breaks (from the Le2) but I'd rather buy other ones instead.

Thanks!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] Vichergsen:
Mine lasted a week or so.. but i knew it was going to break fast so i bought 6 more type c to 3.5 adapters from aliexpress at 1 usd. the only problem is that the channel pan is inverted but meh.. it was 1 usd so i can't ask much haha . my recommendation is to buy a lot of cheap adapters and use them freely without the constant fear of having just one and trying not to break it :)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] sk8223:
A week? Wow. But yeah, I recently replaced the OEM adapter which looked like it was about to break. Horrible build quality on these. Does the OEM one have a built-in DAC, and do all headphone jack adapters come with one? IDK.

I bought the VOXLINK adapter thinking it would let me charge and listen to music at the same time, but when doing so, it produces a static noise over audio, so it's impossible to enjoy music unless you're listening to a loud and heavy song that muffles the static well.

Why is it so hard to find a decent USB-C headphone jack dongle. Especially with phones ditching the poor headphone jack left and right.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] popoyaya:
Link for the 6 adapters for $1?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] thesingh603:
I mean if you want a quality one. I'd buy Google's adapter
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] Gorehuhn:
Mine died about 4 weeks after I got the phone. Bought a few adapters from xiaomi which look a lot sturdier. They were about 3€ per piece on Aliexpress.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] sk8223:
Huh, interesting. Yeah, I have little faith in adapters that only use that soft rubbery stuff to cover cables. Google's adapter also uses that material, and it's really no good for longevity. My Voxlink adapter is still going strong, though it's way too bulky to use. So I bought a cheaper one that uses the same material for $1, and although it's slightly too long, it's sturdy. But I miss how small and compact the original LeEco adapter is.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] trizex:
Mine is still working, more than a year old now. Used almost every day.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] dookie23:
Does the adapter that comes with the phone support headphones that have a 3 button control (Vol+ / Vol- / Play-Pause) and the microphone? I have ordered the phone but I am not sure if it will work with my Bose headphones that has the 3 buttons.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] Gorehuhn:
Works fine!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] dookie23:
In case I need to buy a new adapter in the future, what is the best way to find one that will work for the Le Pro 3? I have read that some adapters work for some phones but not all. I have seen a lot of adapters that are listed to be compatible with the Pixel and Moto Z but it doesn't mention the Le Pro 3.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] MrGeoX23:
My adapter is perfectly fine after 8 months
[LeEco Le Pro3 Accessories] Ace42:
Mine also works. I got the phone around November 2016.

Audio adapters, splitters or dedicated USB-C DACs known to work w/ Le Pro3?

Hey everyone, I know this thread has been inactive for two years, but has anyone tried more USB-C to 3.5mm adapters, USB-C splitters (audio jack + USB-C for charging and audio simultaneously) and/or dedicated USB-C DACs with the Le Pro3? I'm considering buying a sturdy audio adapter/splitter (like the ones from Ugreen or Baseus), or the DDHIFI TC35B, but I don't want to waste my money into something that will not work properly (or won't work at all) with the Le Pro3. From there, I ask you this question, I'd greatly appreciate if you could tell me of any adapter/splitter/DAC that's known to work with the LEX720/722/727.

Thanks in advance.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] ExperienceTesla:
yes: 3.1.0.0. i think the error is the system.new.dat. there is a way to keep system folder in rom zip instead of system.new.dat? like kitkat roms
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] wang1chung:
i know there is a command for the updater-script called package_extract_dir("system", "/system"); which should work if you extract system.new.dat to the /system directory of your rom zip, but there's a lot (like 100 lines) of other symlink and metadata commands that I don't understand.

Have you had any luck?

Edit.....think I found something. Try using the first 5 lines of transfer list file from the stock Rom. Maybe more, I'm not sure.

Edit 2: after looking at a breakdown of how the transfer list works, I think this is dangerous.

Edit 3: the "port rom" you uploaded is a lollipop 5.x android Rom, so I'm not sure what you're using as a "base Rom" when porting this as I thought the zf3 only came with 6.x and 7.x?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] spielnicht:
I got my 2XL and Bellroy case today. Yaaaay!

Love the phone. LOVE IT. Bad screen and all. Just hope the image burn-in isn't an actual burn-in but image retention. Anyway, the case, not so much. The biggest problem is that this is the first time ever, and I mean EVER, that a case is more slippery than the phone itself. I used the phone for a couple of hours and actually loved how the back and sides have a nice grip to them compared to other phones. I put the case on and the phone slipped out out of my hand within minutes (luckily on thick carpet). So that's the first and biggest issue. Second issue is that it's impossible to press the power and volume buttons with the case on. The buttons are way too recessed with the case on and the cutouts are too small. Third, the case creates this valley along the front screen that becomes a dust magnet. Forth, the texture of the leather definitely feels more like plastic than leather. If you compare this to the Apple made iPhone leather case (I don't do iPhone - but familiar with their leather case), you'd give the Apple made case a 8/10 and the Bellroy something like a 2/10, especially when you consider the price.

It's going back once I get an RMA # :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dontbeweakvato:
I've tried fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot OEM unlock and a couple others All In bootloader mode. I've used a couple different versions ADB fastboot. A lot of people have been using the minimal ADB 1.4.2 which is the most current. But i ended up getting them from googles platform-tools. Fastboot flashing unlock always responds with

FAILED (command write failed (no error))

Then the device reboots.

Developer settings is on OEM unlocking is checked and USB debugging is also checked.

I don't know what else to do other than start from scratch entirely including deleting all ADB and fastboot files and maybe factory resetting the device although I've only had it for a day. It's amazing sitting at my home with my computer and a phone and being pissed off for 3 hours no one understands this unlike us. I know a lot of other people had the same issue. Anyone have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated. This is a pixel XL 2 from Google

Just to confirm:

Is this a Verizon version?

Have you followed all of the steps for flashing a system image from https://developers.google.com/android/images

adb otherwise works (e.g., adb devices lists the phone)

fastboot otherwise works

I realize you already covered some of this. Unlocking will wipe anyway, so factory reset can't hurt.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dontbeweakvato:
This is not a Verizon version. ADB is working and ADB devices works correct. Fastboot devices respond with the device serial number so it appears to be working properly. I've never had issues like this, don't know why flashing a factory would do anything but I probably will. And maybe fastboot flashing unlock from a 'fresh' device as I have my apps on it from a Google restore.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danon.brown:
The latest minimal adb/fastboot work fine. Is usb debugging turned on? When you type fastboot devices do you see your phone?

The easiest way would be to re install minimal adb. At the end it ask do you want to re it. Say yes and it starts in the correct command prompt. Type fastboot reboot bootloader just to make sure it's communicating. If it doesn't reboot try another cable.

And I've never had this much problem on any phone ever it usually works the first time or second if I made an easy mistake but not after multiple hours and multiple command prompt checks and fastboot ADB checks.
