I like pushbullet channels when they exist for something I use. So right now mostly humble bundle and the custom ROM on my Nexus 6 which is handy.

Need some help. I flashed factory image 5.1.1 onto my Dad's Nexus 7 (2012, wifi only) and did a clean install in an attempt to make it feel snappier (I think he was previously running 4.4.3?) but hit a wall. When it boots up, and I start the setup process, I can't get past the Wifi setup. I can connect to his home wifi fine, but once it gets to "Checking connection..." I'm prompted with the following error:quote:Webpage not available The hell is that? The wifi connection is strong, and I tried power cycling his router/cable modem but I still get the same thing. Booting in safe mode didn't remedy the issue either. Help? [edit] Flashing 5.1.0 to see if that makes a difference. teagone fucked around with this message at 07:35 on May 16, 2015 |

DemonMage posted:Oh right, the notification thing is nice. It shows up in the chrome notifications so I totally forgot that wasn't a native feature. I do love that. Yeah I couldn't live without the notification sync with actions which is another feature he was going to lose moving to Android.

Good idea, because I just tried to do it after flashing to 5.1.0 and it did the same thing. Will update in a sec. [edit] Weird, that worked! Thanks. Any idea why I was getting issues when connected to the home network? teagone fucked around with this message at 07:46 on May 16, 2015 |

As long as you can adequately connect to it now that you're actually set up and in Android, then I'd say don't worry about it unless it happens again.

I was able to connect to home network after setup, but the Nexus 7 had the WiFi icon with the exclamation mark next to it. For some reason I had to assign it a static IP as opposed to letting the DHCP handle it or something. Once I assigned a static IP, the Nexus 7 had no issues connecting to the home network.

Yeah, it was working fine without a static IP before on 4.4.3. The Nexus wouldn't properly connect to the home WiFi otherwise post update to 5.1.1 for whatever reason, haha. But yeah, it's fine now. Thanks for help again.

After two years of successfully not dropping my Nexus 4, I dropped it. Fortunately I have another one. Is there an easy way to do a complete image of one phone and clone it to another one? The broken one's rooted, but I can't do anything with it since the touchscreen only half works.

It's a ball of suck to do this on android in general but since you're rooted you can at least pull it off. Go into the recovery and make a nandroid backup. Use adb to shell in and find the backup, then extract the .tgz using adb pull. Flash a custom recovery on your other nexus 4, wipe it, adb push the backup, use the recovery to restore the backup.

I replaced my old phone with a Nexus 6 and I couldn't be happier. I want to get a tempered glass screen protector and case, it seems the general consensus for cases is any Diztronic TPU variant but what about a screen protector? Are there any brands I should completely avoid or are they all more or less the same?

Just get a $10 glass one off Amazon. I've bought 3 different brands and they've all been the same, all good.

Butt Savage posted:Alright then. Guess I'll try that CM9 flash and get some experience doing something that's not really necessary anymore. They're building CM 12.1 for most of the S3 variants. AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. If you want to pretend to care about stability, the last snapshot of CM11 was for the unified builds that they've since abandoned. Don't bother with trying to find CM9 or something.

With regard to bloatware and being unable to remove certain apps.. Is is possible to ssh into an Android Device with root access and remove the offending apps that way? Is it as simple as 'rm Bloat.apk?' Would that break anything? What about opening an adb shell and doing the same? disclaimer: I don't know what I'm talking about, mostly.

binarysmurf posted:With regard to bloatware and being unable to remove certain apps.. Yeah, that's what you do. You go into system/apps/ and just delete the APKs you don't want. It should be noted that that will break updates. You would probably prefer to rename them to *.apk,bak and you can change them back if need be to apply an update but that might not work going forward. Anymore changing anything in /system at all will cause an OTA to fail. ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 02:28 on May 18, 2015 |

Re: tempered glass protectors, just get one from http://www.xtremeguard.com/Default.asp They are priced ridiculously, but they always have 90% coupons. I've purchased them for my N4, N5, iPad Mini, iPad Air, iPhone6. And they are fantastic.

I have a Moto G that I haven't rooted or done anything weird to. I was playing a game while waiting in my car and part of the screen went blue and it flickered oddly and the whole thing went black. Couldn't turn it back on or interact with it in any way. After about 15 minutes I tried to boot it and it started, got to the Motorola globe animation but went black before it could fully boot. Got home and stuck the thing in the fridge for a minute thinking maybe overheating issues, and when I tried booting it afterwards it turned on just fine. It worked, but I didn't do much with it, just checked the web browser for a minute then put it down. A while later I went to check it and it was powered off again. Tried to turn it back on and it got mostly booted up, screen turned blue, faded back to black, nothing. I tried to do the "hold power and vol down for 2 minutes" to access some system menu, which worked, but when I tried to select an option I hit power instead of volume up to select, and it just turned off and hasn't been responsive to anything including a repeat of that procedure since. What the heck broke and what can I do to fix it? I sent a message to my provider's support but I'm sure I won't hear back until mid tomorrow, and I don't expect much. Edit: It was at like 70% battery when it first happened so I don't think it just ran out of juice. Also if it matters I believe it was still on Kitkat, I don't recall doing an update and lollipop doesn't look familiar. Nighthand fucked around with this message at 04:52 on May 18, 2015 |

Of course, Samsung can't tell the difference between their rear end and a hole in the ground, so while starting a multiwindow session was easy on my S3 (just tap on the tab) and is easy on my Galaxy Tab S (swipe from the side of the screen), of course we had to get Samsung'd with the Note 4 (hold down the back arrow until the drawer slides open and hope whatever app is already open doesn't register that as an actual "go back" action). You can also slide down from the top right corner.

Multiwindow on touchwiz 4.3 was probably the best implementation so far, no need for apps like Linkbubble. Allegedly it works the same way on the Note 4 Lollipop but I can't get it to work that way with Awful which is the main reason I liked it so much. E: or Facebook now that they baked in their own lovely browser into the app.

Incredible. And you kept giving this company money.
