'Get your apps & data' doesn't like my current phone ?



I've got a HTC One Mini 2 unbranded which backs up daily and for good measure I just forced it to up. I'm switching to a Nexus 5x and trying to transfer the settings, apps and data as it offered.

The Nexus 5x only lists by Nexus 7 tablet, not my HTC , any ideas ?

The HTC backup app isn't available for the Nexus 5x so I can't get that to restore everything.



Is there a ways to new tabs at the end of the current row of tabs?



When i double click a file it puts its tab after the current tab. Is there a ways to put it at the end of the current row of tabs?



Current Activated Project FI Users (your experiences so far)



I've been reading through the forum and the Project Fi waiting room thread kind of touches on my subject but there is some digging that has to be done to find post about how their experience has been so far now that they are on the Fi Network...

I've been activated for about a week now. So far the service has been pretty good. I spend most of my days on WIFI so it's a good fit for me. I've only had a couple issues so far.

1. My office is really big with many APs, when on a call and walking through the building it gets confused on what it should do. As my phone switches between APs it will move the call over to cell towers and then back to wifi and the end user says that I am cutting out really bad...
2. When I don't have WIFI available and connected to the sprint network I cannot use data and talk on the phone at the same time.. I guess this is what all sprint users currently deal with and is a limitation of technology but I've been with ATT for a long time and am not used to this. I don't believe its just because they are CDMA. Verizon has been doing this for a while now, correct?
3. If I'm connected to the sprint network and on a call then move to an area where tmobile has better service, when I get off of the call my service will go unavailable for multiple seconds while it disconnects and reconnects to the tmobile network.
4. Slowness to send and receive sms/mms to other carriers. This is not recreateable and is random.. Maybe 5% of the time.
5. Reduced daily battery life. Maybe 15%ish.. I think I was able to correct a lot of this by limiting background data.

I don't think this thread is duplicated but if it is point me to the correct location.

Verizon sm900v DE and current roms?



Currently I am running dirty unicorn. It works fine. A few hiccups but can deal with them.

I have installed a few other rooms but basically data doesn't work.

Darklord I can make calls and receive texts but can't send texts or get mobile data. Otherwise phone seems to run fine. Is there anyway I can copy files from DU to Darklord to get texting and data working?

I'm not sure what all files would be need. I found a few in build prop with apn info.

Also dom pop runs but no calls, data, text. I know development is ended here. Apn do not stick when set manually.

Cm for some reason shows my phone as tmobile not Verizon when I try to flash verizon and fails. If I flash tmobile it runs but again no service.

I'm also on 4.3 baseband I think. I'm okay with DU but would really like to try S6/n5 ports as a daily driver.

Please any advise would be appreciated?

Current subscribers won’t receive Google Play Music credit with a new Nexus purchase



Sorry Google Play Music subscribers. It looks like you won’t be getting an advertised three month credit when you purchase a new LG Nexus 5X or Huawei Nexus 6P. In the terms for the Play Nexus 90 promotion, it says the following:

“The Offer is only open to residents in the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, Poland, Greece, Japan, Australia and New Zealand (each an “Eligible Territory”) who:


Quote:









1. have purchased an Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X in a Eligible Territory (“Phone”) between September 29, 2015 and midnight Pacific Standard Time on April 18, 2017; and
2. at the time the Offer is redeemed: (i) are not current Google Play Music subscribers; (ii) have not been Google Play Music subscribers in the past 12 months; and/or (iii) have not participated in a Google Play Music trial in the past 12 months.”




In past cases, even as recently as the Nexus 6, current subscribers would get a credit towards their bill. I personally have a credit until December due to buying a Nexus 6 and I’ve been a subscriber since the service begun a few years ago.

Definitely disappointing but probably not something that will keep many people from purchasing the phone. If you’ve only used the free version of the service it appears that you’ll still be able to redeem the offer and get three free months.

Want to revert to stock recovery, where can I get current one from the recent OTA?



I flashed an OTA that was modified to work with TWRP, prior to that I unrooted, uninstalled xposed and flashed my current system files. OTA went well and I rerooted but no xposed.

My battery has been pretty bad since the update so I want to do a factory reset. I figure while I am at it I want to go back to stock recovery and not root immediately so I can see if Android pay will actually work.

Thanks



A critic on current phones - An (currently?) imaginatory phone



Hi,

I just want to share my crazy idea for a smartphone, which would be better than current models. I do think that none of the current models really suite my needs and I do hear a lot of complaints on Goggle+ and on other places. That's why I started a new blog and added the following post to it: (Unable to link to it) reisiphone.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/the-start/ [Please copy this link to the blog post. I do not want to copy the whole thing ^^]

Some questions to start with:
  • Do you also think, that current models are not fitting to how we use is? like overpowered with a tiny battery, which size is decreasing with every iteration.

  • And your opinion on the choice of Hardware I thought in the blog. Was it wise? I was more thinking about everyone than about power user?

  • Do you think this has a minor chance to get real?


I didn't make a render or something like that as it should be as simple as possible and I am really unable to do this :p
