I figure while I am waiting for my N6 we could have a chat about encryption vs decrypting. Now, I already plan on root and unlocking my bootloader so thats a moot point right there. The encryption issue? Well I am on the fence about that. I suspect roms (I don't think I will be playing much with...

I have been toying with the idea of picking up the first flex out of curiosity but I never really got around to it. Giving the situation with trying to get my hands on an Nexus 6 (which to me is not so much a toy as a daily driver). The new G flex 2 for me is more of a toy, or novelty if that...

Just curious on who uses their nexus 5 (4 or 6) as their daily driver / only device?

No idea what the problem is this time. Instead of freezing the stupid nag to update, I decided to take the OTA. I disabled (uninstalled xposed) went into supersu and clicked the check box to disable root. Rebooted. Downloaded the update. ERROR! Thats it. I am using the stock recovery. This...

With the "issues" with lollipop, I think I am going to hold off for a bit. However there is the pesky nag. I have titanium backup. I just don't know what to freeze to stop the nag. Is it Update Device 4.5.1.10 or is there something else?

Okay, I am pretty sure I just need to delete the update file, problem is, the phone is 20 miles away from me at the time. The phone is unlocked, running AT&T, they accepted the latest 4.4.4 update and its downloaded, they hit install D'oh! So now its boot looping into recovery TWRP. I...

Okay, I am hard on my devices. I now have officially broken two nexus 5s! Shattering the screen on both of them. It depends on how they fall. Both phones will still boot up. But otherwise unusable at least in the general sense. I now know I have the option to get perhaps the last one I...

(This post is a bit of thinking out loud, sometimes its better to spell things out to help come to a decision :)) Been a bit since I have visited the forums, guess I needed a break from things. Well, we (the household) are starting to get prepared to restructure things, ditch the contracts...

A while back I told you I cracked the screen on my Nexus 5, well, it still worked, but I ended up switching back to my note 2 for a few reasons but was thinking about taking the nexus 5 to t-mo to check out there network, so, I stuck the thing in my back pocket and carried it with me. Never did...

I am wondering if it is going to be worth the trouble of picking up the note 3 from t-mobile at full price and either wait for the 40 days (I think it was) or just root the thing and buy chainfires app to unlock the thing so that I can use it on AT&Ts network. The reason for this is so I can...

Just wondered if I strolled into the local t-mobile store (official one), plunked down my hard earned cash all 708.99 + tax on the counter, will they unlock the thing or would they still make me wait what, 6 months!? The only reason I would do this is so I can have access to the bootloader...

Not looking to argue or anything, but I was curious if anyone here has went back to a previous device after trying out the Nexus 5. If you have, what was your reasoning to do so?

Any experience choppy, slow, laggy almost unresponsive at times use of Google currents on the N7? This morning while browsing, it was almost unusable. I pulled out my note 10.1 (old edition) and loaded currents and it acted fine. On the ipad mini (first gen) smooth. N7, sputtering stuttering...

Okay, all. Here is my first guide! Disclaimer: I am NOT responsible for damaging your device(s) computers, wasted time, etc, should something go wrong. Also this guide assumes you have ADB set up and are comfortable using terminal, navigating to directories etc. This is NOT a script or...

My last two nexii (one 2012 wifi, then 2012 HSPA) are gone. The first just powered off, never came back on, the hspa version just sucked, would not stay charged for nothing, it got passed around several times and ended up getting dropped and shattered the screen. I mulled over the 2013 model...

Right onto concrete. Total fail. Pulled it out of my pocket, it caught then rolled down my leg. Nicked both corners on one side, sim card tray popped out most of the way and cracked the bottom left of my screen. Not even a month old.

But it don't reboot. It just sits there. Screen goes black, well goes to sleep. Sitting on a 239 (or something like that) update and it will NOT reboot to install the update. I press power to wake it up and it tells me update, click to install and rinse and repeat. I went into recovery and...

I downloaded the factory image for the 2012 nexus 7 (HSPA) pulled out the recovery.img from the .tgz and zip files, flashed it in fast boot so I could get stock recovery back and get rid of TWRP for hopefully easier OTAs (yeah, right:mad::rolleyes:) But all I got now is just andy on his back...

Yes, been a bit more then two weeks now, and I may need to get a new one. Whats wrong with the one I got? Well, aside from the minor stuff in my review thread, stuff that I have pretty much gotten over, I showed the device to my SIII toting mom. She loves it! She has barely used it, but...

No real reason for location services to be running while the device is sleeping. Wondered why my pocket was getting warm. Turned those services off. No reason for them to run unless I Activate the program that needs said service.

Just wondering if anyone here is using both a Nexus 5 (or 4) as well as a Nexus 7 LTE. I was seriously thinking about picking up the new retina iPad mini with LTE but after hearing some reports that the screen does not match up to the air (the mini has a washed out display - probably because...

So, I have had the device a little over a week and the long and short, I am a bit conflicted over the thing. First some background. My daily driver for the most part has been a galaxy note 2 from AT&T, one device I have had issues with from pretty much the get go, I feel the multi window...

Anyone know where I can get the note 10.1 stock firmware GT-N8013 (4.1.2) as I want to use mobile odin pro to flash back to stock so I can get updates. That and it seems to be acting quirky. Looks like I would just need the stock recovery for this device. Oh boy... Just need to find it...

A while back Verizon was not activating the new N7s on its network. I just looked up the N7s on the play store and seen they had 5 different flavors of N7s 16gb wifi 32gb wifi 32gb AT&T 32gb T-mo 32gb LTE (I am assuming this was with verizons sim card, presumably missing now) So, is...

Got my Note 3 last week, new line, got home, swapped sim cards with my note 2 (number was already registered with the microcell tower), and a quick reboot and the note 3 picked right back up. Once little snag, another reboot and things seamed set. All of the sudden, my battery is draining...
