    Post Bad screen casting on Android Auto

    Android 9 supposedly has 'proper' in built notch support. Lets hope that solves the issue.

    Post Hello Guys.. A few questions until my phone is bought:

    I've just ordered the Lite from Amazon. I've had an A1 for 2 days, but it seems broken so is going back. Main reasons for not going full A2 are the battery, I have a million micro USB cables, and the size. I don't need a top end phone, so for £155 and Google One, the lite is a total bargain.

    Thread USB Issues

    Hi all, I've just received my A1 from amazon as a warehouse deal - got a very good price for one in 'used - acceptable' condition. No SIM tray, but one on the way from ebay. I have an issue though - the USB port only seems to work when the cable is plugged in and the phone restarted. If I then...

    Thread Easy update from MDA89E??

    Very quick Q hopefully... Nexus 5x fresh out the box. Unlocked, rooted and added TWRP. All good, except I'm on MDA89E so need bringing onto the latest build, but don't want to wipe. Is there a TWRP flashable image, or do I have to go back to stock then reroot and put TWRP back?

    Thread [Q] M preview + Google restore = no icons?

    I have done a fresh install of M this morning, and google has restored all of my apps and setting. However, most icons on the home screen are appearing as the default android green droid. The icons look fine in the new style app drawer. Any idea how or if I can bulk update all of the home screen...

    Thread [Q] Android M - Google Apps ?

    Sorry for the basic, but very quick, question. I will be installing M Preview 2 over the weekend. However, a review of the changes on Arstechnica.com suggests that it does not include any of the consumer facing apps yet. Can this be overcome simply by installing the GApps packages ? I'll be...

    Thread [Q] Refusing to update - old 'user keys' ?

    I have tried to flash the OTA update on my N5. I am running stock Lollipop, having flashed it over the top of 4.4.4. However, CWM complains that the device has the wrong keys - telling me that it expects LRX210 keys but its seeing 4.4.4 keys and therefore the update fails. Is there anything I...

    Post Bluetooth Low Energy/Bluetooth Smart Heart Rate Monitors compatible with running apps

    This looks like a good start... I am looking for an app that will capture the BTLE or ANT+ output from my new Mio Link when inthe gym. I could use my Forerunner 220 and ANT+, but then I get a cadence track from the internal sensor that I dont want and cant turn off. This then screws up the...

    Thread [Q] Bluetooth stack vs samsung

    Afternoon all. I love my N5 and am keen to stick with it - however I have an issue with Bluetooth. I am a keen runner and user a Garmin Forerunner 220 GPS. This has the ability to pair with a Garmin app using BTLE to transfer run data. However, Garmin are saying that there are underlying issues...

    Post Result! USB Otg and Ethernet working

    That's correct for Samsung, but the chipset I quote works without additional kernel modules on my N5. They are included in stock.

    Post Result! USB Otg and Ethernet working

    Mine is the Asix AX88772 - worked fine but I have to run netcfg eth0 up, followed by netcfg eth0 dhcp in a terminal app. All works fine, but not all apps will use the interface and I can't use it with a personal hotspot from the N5 :(

    Post Result! USB Otg and Ethernet working

    Which ethernet adapter/chipset are you using? Looks like the kernel isn't recognising it. Are there any lights which show activity?
