    Post bringing Nexus 6P to active duty but must've missed a direction ...

    Update! I thought it would be a good idea for me to try this routine of wipe & install the Android 8.1 again to get myself comfortable with the process. Long story short, I did exactly that: (- Bootloader was already unlocked) - TWRP - flashed/installed Dec 2018 OTA images/zip - Installed...

    Thank you. Because the SIM was not recognized, I was going to restore to the last Android. I may just try the aicp ROM first.

    Post bringing Nexus 6P to active duty but must've missed a direction ...

    UPDATE: Reading some more threads on XDA & decided to try Lineage. At one point seems to have things working following the directions but the SIM card was not recognized. Thinking of trying again with Lineage but maybe with Lineage16 instead of 17. But what is the best stable ROM that is plain...

    Thread bringing Nexus 6P to active duty but must've missed a direction ...

    Greetings. Due to events beyond my control, I had to give up my Pixel 3 XL (packing it as I type this) :( Until funds become available, I decided to bring the Nexus 6P - with pre-mature battery shutdown issue - back to duty. I have new battery, lens cover, etc. waiting in the wings so it may...

    Post New to Google Player ...

    Thank you. That was my next stop. I also have to peruse this forum too. Seems like rooting it may enable me to install more(?) apps from Google Play ... too much to learn!

    Post Resetting MeMO 10

    Thank you. It was a little oddity after that no command picture. Fiddling (pressing) the power switch right after going into recovery brought the expected menu up. Had to try more than dozen times but finally worked!

    Thread Resetting MeMO 10

    Greetings! I have ASUS MeMO 10 that I'm trying to do a factory hard reset. When I get into recovery screen I only see the horizontal Android robot with an exclamation mark and the phrase "No Command" beneath it :crying: What else can I do to bring this back into this world? Thanks in advance!

    Post HDMI Output to 720p

    Thank you for the heads-up and I'm glad you are getting use out of it Been looking around and found some info on the variant of SoC that is in the stick (from Marvell) as that thread suggested the info on Marvell site is thin and nothing about resolution. I sent an inquiry to their sales...

    Post HDMI Output to 720p

    Hi, I'm wondering if you found any answer to forcing(?) chromecast to a certain resolution. I'm wondering if the chipset inside the stick is capable of outputting anything other than 1080P? In my case I have to have 480P or 1080i (my TV is too old that it doesn't even accept 720P <LOL>). I know...

    Post Wifi calling

    Is there a thread/conversation on xda where a group may be working on TMO wi-fi calling for ICS or JB? I, too, would love the idea of wi-fi calling on unlocked phone brought to TMO but I understand it is currently limited to TMO phones ...
