[GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread

Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.

There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??

People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.

I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.

Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...

I request all members of the Google PIXEL C sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.

I hope you guys get the idea behind this thread...

T-Mobile USA Thread

I know the 6P won't be sold through the carriers, at least not right away. I'm a Tmo subscriber and I was a little disappointed at first but buying the phone and paying for it in full is always the best route.
With that being said are you with Tmo? What area of the country are you in? Having issues or are new services going live? Questions about service with past or the new nexus device? Let's keep each other updated with what's going on with our carrier.
I've had just about every nexus phone while on Tmo. I had spotty service for awhile but over the years service has gotten much better for me in the Orlando area. This past year I've seen almost all the 3g towers turn into LTE. I got to use HD voice for the first time on my nexus 6. VOLTE got turned on. Band 12 going live (although not in my area, I've used it in other FL markets) Going forward to the 6P are we going lose some of these? I've already seen a report that band 12 will not be unlocked at launch for our device. Will volte be available? HD voice? None of these are deal breakers but it would suck to have such a cutting edge device yet it can't access some basic phone functions. What are your thoughts/insight?

Requesting a kernel tutorial thread!

Hi! Just as the name implies, I was curious if any of you kernel wizards could maybe start a thread or even here just share some settings you guys use. I've changed several ROMs and currently using squids kernel but I've never been comfortable messing with the values other then headphone gain. I've usually just flashed preconfigured kernels and left it as is. From what I'm seeing certain changes achieve things like performance gain, battery save etc.. I'd love some thoughts!

UK Nexus 5X Thread

Hi Guys

Started this forum for UK users.

Anything goes but please be courteous to each other.

Updates and support will be posted in this first post.

Looking forward to ordering my Nexus 5X!

How do I get out of "tree-view" for viewing thread posts?

Not sure what I did, but when I look at a thread now, instead of seeing each separate post I'm seeing a tree with just the first line of each post. Hope you know what I'm talking about and can tell me how to reverse it. Thanks!

Note 4 Orientation Thread, please educate me...

Hi Friends,

I'm a fairly experienced Samsung user, S4, Note 2, Note 3, and now finally waiting for my Note 4 to come in the mail. I took a break away from Sammy with LG G3 and G4. Can you guys help me get oriented with Note 4, with my quick questions? I've been reading the forum, but, as you guys would imagine, there's still room for clarity, thus my thread:

1. What is the BEST ROM you could recommend for the most stable experience, with performance and battery life? Some say Rapture hands down, others recommend Poprocks, but then I look at something like TEKXodus and the replies and views that ROM has and I am like WOW! Let's not forget the S6 ports!

2. Is there a way to do simple Mods on the Note 4 like changing Status Bar icon colors, and maybe changing the Toggles colors? If so, what is that app? I'm thinking of something like Gravity Box, Wanam Kit, LG Tweaksbox, but for the Note 4? Personally, I love foreverloco's simple AOSP style themes, but I doubt they'd work on the latest ROM versions?

3. What is the truth about Note 4 screen on time? On QHD screens on the G3 and G4, I couldn't get more than just under 4 hours for the LG G3 and not even 2.5 hours for the LG G4!! Biggest reason why I'm moving off of the phone! I never game, am on WiFi most of the day, don't have Bluetooth or NFC running. Just WiFi all day, all workday conference calls, and some days 2 to 3 hours of data on, not WiFi.

4. I don't know the model I'll get, but if I get the 910T3, am I screwed? Or screwed without it?

5. Any outstanding issues with Xposed on 5.1.1 ROMs?

Thank you in advance for your help and responses!

[GUIDE] [G901F] [G900] Battery Life Thread (root)

Today I want to present you a guide to become good batterylife on your device 

Im a owner of a Samsung Galaxy S5 G901F.
The update to Android 5.x was horrible because the battery lives no one day on the stock rom.
At Android 4.4 there was no problem….

Here is a blended guide to help improve your android battery experience.
This should work to many other Android devices, phones, tablets too.

In my case it’s a Galaxy S5 G901F….
It runs on SimpleGX Rom 1.4.1 (based on stock BOH4 firmware).
(I have finally tested it on my Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab)


Lets start…

Prerequisite is ROOT and Xposed framework for your firmware.
There are other posts and threads about. Im not sure.
Maybe Im looking out for the links.

Use BetterBatteryStats to make logs and see batterystats.
I don’t need Wakelock detector….

Requirements:


1.Greenify
2.Amplify
3.AppOpsXposed
4.PowerNap
5.Smart Network
(Additionally)
6. init.d Script for Google Play batterydrain (when the installed rom don’t have it)
7. Newest Play services and Playstore (recommended)

Basic Settings



Display
Display brightness is an important factor in your batterys life. The more brighter the screen is, the more battery it drains. So keep the brightness under control or use automated brightness, but switch one level darker. Or you can try manually adjusting the screen brightness to dark. Without needing a headlight lol….

Cell Network/3G/LTE/2G
Switch LTE/3G to 2G while not in use.(while on WiFi). Use Smart Network to switch between networks.

Wifi
-Even if your wifi is off, the phone searches for signal. To switch off this feature, go to Settings > Wifi > Options in top right corner > Advanced > Scanning always available > Off

-Make sure u use a static IP. Switch to “static” as follow:
Tap long on your Wifi-network, select “advanced settings”, scroll down and change “DHCP” to “static” in IP-line.

Location
Standard juice sucker in Android is the Location Services. You can turn it off while not in use. That saves a lot of battery. You can also set the location to “Device Only" in settings.
In my case, I never used location services.


Greenify

Use Greenify to hibernate apps that are not in use.
You must buy or download Donation Package of Greenify to use all features. Once you have a Donation Package, you need to activate the Greenify Xposed Module in your Xposed Framework. Once done, setup as follow:

-enable the Boost mode on top
-enable Experimental Features
-select ALL other stuff.

Important:Set Greenify as Admin in settings/security/greenify automator


(for Samsung G901F the “deep hibernation alpha” works perfect, at some other
Devices it should not work)

--Screenshots—



When installed and activated, open the Greenify app.
Select “show all” on top right corner to see ALL stuff on your phone.
Greenify all apps that suck battery in background.

For example:
-Maps
-Hangouts
-Browser
-Facebook
-Games
-Instagram
-(Google play services, set advanced options to “status always ignore”)
-(Google Play store, set advanced options to “status always ignore”)

Its not recommended to greenify Google play services.
I can say, on my lovely Samsung device it works well.
You must try it….

--screenshots--


Do not greenify apps as follow:
-Amplify
-Android system
-Greenify itself
-Better Battery Stats
-Xposed
-System apps
-Smart Network
-PowerNap
-AppOpsXposed

--Screenshots—


Amplify
It is a must have app for all devices running Xposed Framework.
You'll need a donation package to control wakelocks and alarms.
This is very specific to every device, because everyone have different apps on his phone/tablet.

Power Nap

In order to download the app you need to join the alpha testers community in Google+ here to become a Tester. Then you'll be able to download and run the app.

In my case the whitelisted apps are (Varies according to users):

Disable the following permissons of Google Services Framework

PNF Push Notifications Fixer

If you encounter any delayed Push Notification from any app after using this thread,
try the PNFroot Fix from here. Setup to Mobile 6/WiFi 5 minutes.

Init.d to fix batterydrain

Especially for our G901F with Android 5.0.2.
A few roms already have this fix. (Nova 1.3, SimpleGX 1.4.1)
Your Rom should have init.d support.
Place this script to etc/init.d folder as root and set permissions to 755.
