nexus 5

I have been using rooted 4.4.2 Kitkat for a long time and decided to upgrade to Marshmallow. I got some questions: 1. Can I use the Nexus Root Toolkit to directly upgrade to Marshmallow or I have to do something like flashing or factory reset before that? 2. I still have Franco Kernel...

All of a sudden my Gmail app won't sync emails from Hotmail. Emails from Gmail are being recieved as normal. I received a notification saying that it couldn't log into Hotmail. I entered my Hotmail details, but these didn't work, so I decided to remove the account and try again. I then reset my...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post about this. If not, I apologise. I cannot find the Go Live icon on the Facebook Android app. It is supposed to appear when you add a new status, but it is not available. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the app, but that has not worked...

I'm not able to use a wireless network at home. So I'm looking for a wired ethernet (RJ45) adapter that plugs into my phone's USB port. I know these devices exist, but I've not been able to locate one that works with my phone + Android 6 (Marshmallow). If someone knows of one that works with...

I have two PCs running Windows 7 on a local home network - one connected wirelessly and the other wired to the router. Both have files shared, and I can access the shared files from either computer or from my Nexus 5 using ES File Explorer...usually. However, I'm having an issue where, for no...

I have a 2.5 year old Nexus 5. Good phone, good value, no major complaints. But last week, my flashlight stopped working. I use it in restaurants with dim light to see the menu. And when I was eating lunch and went to use it, it wasn't there. I tried the obvious, cutting it on and off...

Greetings, I could use some help with a replacement Nexus 5 please. The old one failed with a boot-loop, and research indicated a stuck power button, but the published fix didn't work for me. The vendor refunded price+shipping pending receipt, so I ordered a new one which arrived yesterday...

Every time I attempt to turn on my hotspot, it turns off straight away. Then, it will continue quickly turning on and off again for quite some time before saying (underneath 'portable Wi-Fi hotspot) 'error'. Can anyone help? The phone is a Nexus 5 on Android 6.0

I flashed stock marshmallow on my phone, which is rooted. I have es file explorer but now I cannot find my files. It's so weird. When I plug in my phone and look at "internal storage" I see a bunch of folders but I cannot find those same folders using es file explorer. My pictures are in one of...

I tried using the banks gapps at the DU site first and the installation failed. Then I tried the old PA Gapps I had installed the last time and they didn't work either. Any other ideas? I'm downloading the DU gapps now but I'm worried they won't work either. I did a clean install. eta: I...

This was the first time this happened to my nexus 5 (6.0.1). My phone just went black and frozed on me. I could see the all the WiFi signal, the time and among other at the top of screen. The app I had running was called darker. Its where it dims the screen and gives it a red hue. I tried...

Today, we were looking round a 16th Century National Trust building where I was taking the occasional picture, then turning off the phone until the next opportunity came along. At one point, I turned on the phone (camera was already selected) and noticed that the picture was just a series of...

Hi All, I have Nexus 5 Marshmallow w latest updates. A few months ago the battery started to drain fast. I checked which apps may be using a lot of battery but it seems that no app was causing a problem. I replaced the battery with an LG OEM battery and the new battery is now also draining fast...

Hey guys! Normal use all day and then I go to unlock my phone and the emergency lock screen just appeared. 50px line rule plus the word "Emergency" below it. I don't have any lock features enabled on the device so I am a little perplexed. Has anyone ever experienced this before? P.S. I would...
