I feel a bit silly asking such a narrow question, but I couldn't find the answer on the AICP site. Does AICP provide the ability to add a distinct, separate last app button? That's my favorite feature ever. (This is not a feature request, like "please add XYZ." I'm just asking if it's already...

At this point 350 seems a little steep. On the other hand, my Galaxy Tab S3 will only charge when it's turned off because of supposed moisture in the port that apparently lasts forever. So the Pixel C has been my primary tablet. Although I like the S3s haptic feedback and GPS the Pixel C is...

Android tablets get a lot of hate for reasons I don't understand. If Android tablets are your preference (as they are mine) then I don't know of a better "current" tablet than the S3. The Pixel C is still pretty awesome. I marginally prefer the S3 because of the haptic feedback and slightly...

If I have one big gripe about the Samsung buttons it's that in addition to being where they aren't expected, they aren't lit. You have to learn where they are. But today I picked up my Pixel C and i was looking for the Samsung buttons even though the onscreen ones were plainly visible. The S3...

Pronounced "gitsthree-el-why-fix"

Like "Flounder" for the Nexus 9, "Pollux Windy" for the Xperia Tablet Z, etc. Does the S3 wifi have one?

I just purchased an S3 and I'm comparing it side-by-side with my Pixel C. It's too soon to compare battery life, although I don't expect the S3 to last quite as long. The Pixel C lasts forever. But so far I see a number of advantages on the S3. - SD card (not that I care) - S-Pen (not really...

I received my tablet yesterday. First I applied the latest software update. Then I installed TWRP, SuperSu, and the boot patch as described in this thread. After backing up I did a wipe and flashed this ROM. It took about five minutes. It restarted once just as it began to draw the Samsung logo...

Found my own answer. I was releasing POWER-DOWN and pressing POWER-UP by sliding my finger from one to the other. Apparently there needs to be a momentary delay, releasing one then pressing the other.

Hi, I searched before asking, but came up empty. I'm attempting to install TWRP. Flashing it with Odin works just fine. Where I'm hung up is the next step, booting immediately into recovery. The instructions I've seen are to hold down POWER, HOME, VOLUME-DOWN. When the screen goes blank...

I really like my Pixel C. But is it worth it at current prices? I'd say no, not by a long shot. It's two years old. You can get a Galaxy Tab S2 or S3 for much less. You can get a giant Windows tablet and install Android. In fact, if people are actually paying $500-600 for these things then...

This may or may not be a helpful response. I had the same problem and never, ever solved it. I read a gazillion articles and all sorts of detailed instructions about how to remove and update drivers. I tried for days and nothing ever worked. That's not to say that it can't be done, but I had to...

I've been running this for a few days. AOKP was always one of my favorites. It runs great, no issues.

My Pixel C works perfectly and I love it. I've also been through several of them, one because of a screen defect. It's the "split screen" defect which has happened to multiple users and isn't specific to this device or Google devices. The good - it's the best tablet I've ever used. The bad -...

I tried RR and got the setup wizard crash again. It skips the wifi connection step. Doesn't matter which gapps I use. But I found an easy workaround. Install and launch the ROM without gapps, connect to wifi, then install gapps. Then I can set up a google account, restore from Titanium, etc.

I always get the TWRP bootloop if I boot before installing SuperSU. That happened with DU and with this. I also had some issues with the setup wizard crashing. It was skipping the step of connecting wifi, and then it would crash when I tried to enter a Google account (which wouldn't have worked...

I had the exact same issue. Half the screen was "snow". At first I could solve by rebooting but it gradually got worse. It's hardware. Sometimes it would respond to pressure on the screen and it happened even when booting. I finally had to RMA it. UBreakItWeFixIt is a new development. When I...

All Android devices have a ton of development support - it's Google Play. There's only so much you can do with even the very best custom ROM.

Two 7.1 ROMs. The other just prefers not to have an announcement on XDA. If their wishes are violated they will stop supporting the device. I don't know if that includes just mentioning the name but I won't risk it because the ROM is great. Does that include hiding a lame acrostic message in...

Which operating system are you on? What worked for me on Windows 10 was to give up after several days and use a Windows 7 computer. I read everything and tried everything and I could not get Fastboot working on this device with Windows 10. I used every toolkit, every driver version, toolkits...

NRT is good for people like me who barely know what they're doing, enough to get bricked in the first place like I did. What i like is that it takes away a little of the uncertainty about whether I'm using the right files. I hadn't rooted and unlocked and done all the setup in about a year so I...

I used Nexus Root Toolkit when I got semi-bricked.

That worked! I was currently on stock 7.1.1 so I tried it first without re-flashing, although I was prepared to go back to that step if it didn't work. First I downloaded SuperSU 2.79 and copied the ZIP to my device. I used Minimal ADB and Fastboot (which I think is taken from the official...

I think that answers my question - the original factory image including the bootloader. I'll try it in a few hours. Thank you very much!

Thank you. I'll try this today. If I use s tool like NRT to flash "stock" to the device, does that cover what's described in the first step - latest bootloader and latest factory image - or is there something else I need to flash at that step? Thanks

I'm still getting this TWRP bootloop. I've tried several versions - 3.0.0, 3.0.21, 3.0.23. I've tried numerous times re-flashing stock using NRT and then flashing the recovery again. I've also tried fastboot-reboot. I'm on stock 7.1.1 - NMF26H. If i need to install a different version for this...

Google replaced my device. They said they were sending a refurbished unit with no charger, and they sent me a new retail package (with charger.) I've had some grief with this tablet, but replacing it after I dropped and broke it is pretty awesome. And even though I've been okay with the little...

I had this on my pixel c. There were cases on some lg phones a few years back. It's hardware. The only resolution is to RMA it.

Formidable for me. But they're Google, manufacturer of the Pixel C. That would seem to put them in a unique position to know how to repair it. And they probably know where to get the screens because they make those too. But what's really odd is that they didn't know who does repairs. I'm not...

Has anyone had a cracked screen repaired? Google told me they don't do that because it's not covered under warranty. I get that I have to pay for it, but they said they don't repair that and I have to find a 3rd party. A repair shop told me the screen isn't available to order. I find it hard ti...

This issue seems to be popping up more recently. Just a shot in the dark: could this be related to heat? Not heat within the device, but environmental, like if it gets left in a hot car.

I'm fairly certain that it's a physical issue with the screen or the connection to the screen. When I had this issue I saw a visible change when I applied some light pressure around the edges of the screen. At one point it almost felt like something popped into place and the problem went away...

I really, really like the Pixel C. I like it so much that I hope my 4th one works. The first one died after one day. The second one died after several months. The third one died after one hour. I've been debating whether I should actually keep the next replacement when it arrives or sell it...

The 30-second delay is trivial (to me.) I think it's an odd and intrusive choice, but it's never been a big deal. I've never had any trouble with the wifi, although it sounds like the mileage varies. I don't usually care how many bars there are as long as it's not dropping off.

It's not my intent to be vindictive or petty, but I feel it's appropriate to relate my experience to anyone who might consider this device. I also acknowledge that my experience is anecdotal and not representative of every purchase. I had to return the first one because it shut off and died...

I'm returning mine too. I've determined that it's hardware because when I applied pressure around the edges of the screen I felt something slightly pop into place and then the problem was temporarily corrected. If I apply slight pressure to parts of the screen it happens again. At this point...

This just started happening to me today, exactly as you described.

Yes, same with latest Temasek. Stuck on Google logo. Tried repeatedly. I'm on the latest vendor image.

I rooted my Pixel C last night so I could flash this. I'm coming from a Nexus 9 - I never knew what to expect. If I didn't find the right magic combination of ROM and GAPPs it would crash and burn on startup. From flashing to setup to installing apps and themes and then actual use, this has...

Neither my initial unit nor the replacement (first ome died) would connect to my 5ghz network ever, not even once. After the April OTA update last night I'm on my 5ghz network. Don't know if it's related. It wasn't a show stopper and I was still happy with it, so that's a nice surprise.

Considering that there's a giant piece of screen real estate dedicated to three buttons which are either in the middle or grouped at both ends, I can't see a good reason not to have all three buttons at both ends. It makes sense to me that if the placement is important enough that Google would...

I sent one back because it died after one day. I suspect that it might have been a bad USB-C cable although I thought I was careful about what I ordered. The second one (and the first before dying) are great. It's an outstanding device. The display is bright and it's noticeably faster than my...

No, I didn't do anything in developer options. I could try flashing the factory image if it came with a cable. I only ordered two and both just fall out of the port.

I just got this too. I have not rooted, unlocked, or done anything. It rebooted while I was using it and now I can only get to the "No command" screen. That's too bad. I got it just yesterday and I really like it. If I had modified it in any way I'd wonder if I messed something up, but I haven't...

That's on flounder too.

Just to clarify - if you're unencrypted and flashed this patch before booting Android N, did it work to keep your unencrypted device from getting encrypted? Thanks

On CM13 now. My N9 is so fast I'm not going to post this until tomorrow... and it went back in time!

Could you describe what the lag is with a very specific example? I'd like to see what I notice compared to other devices in the household.

I've been running this all day. First time I forgot to prevent encryption and so I had to wipe everything and start over. Next time used FED patcher. After testing a little I added ElementalX. So far I haven't seen any issues at all.

I'm a tablet junkie. I've had galaxy tabs 2 and pros, every nexus tablet, a transformer prime, lg g pad 8.3, a Toshiba Excite 10, and I'm probably forgetting one. Xperia S and Z. I can't see what's lacking or wrong with this tablet. It's really fast. The display is great. Lots of dev support...
