    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] 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...

    Thread Camera apk?

    I always found the camera on my note 2 excellent - pic quality was good, but the best aspect was the almost instant focus and shutter response when you clicked to take a shot. In comparison, the N5camera is awful and almost unusable if there is any chance of movement - ie children! Does anyone...

    Anyone else noticed a change in the apps that are offered when trying to select a file for upload from a Web app? No longer being offered things like FX or Root Explorer - just camera, documents and camcorder. Has the API changed?

    Bought my N5 at carphonewarehouse in the UK today and very happy. USB Otg working fine (tested with ant+ garmin uploader), and USB Ethernet also working. The Ethernet required root to run 'netcfg eth0 up' followed by 'netcfg eth0 dhcp'. Some apps complain and won't use it, but others are happy...

    I am replacing an 8Gb N7 with a 32Gb. Both are stock 4.2.1 and not yet rooted. If I root both using exactly the same method, and take an adb backup of the 8gb, can I restore this straight to the 32Gb (that I will unlock and root first) ? Is there anything like device IDs etc that would screw...
