Just got my NP and Need advice - Ethernet and USB long side topic

Hello
Just got my new Nexus Player and after long search I can't find the right answer.
I want to connect the player to my Ethernet in my house for better connection and if possible to add an external HDD.
Here is my list of questions and I hope that I've got the the right place:
1. I want to have the maximum network speed and I have Giga cables in my walls . Is there a standards in the adapter that I need to buy to have the maximum speed? Or all the adapters have the same speed limit?
2. Is there a way to connect both Ethernet and USB HDD long side? Is there a magic box that have USB and also an Ethernet connection? If there is I would like to get an advise what is the best one to buy.

If someone have an experience what the items I need and have an advice what is the best to buy - I will love to get some links.

Many thanks in advance

[Q] Just got Nexus 5, regarding 5.0.2 ? topic

Hi all
I picked up a 5 month old nexus 5 yesterday running 5.0.1 stock, its a wonderful very fast phone, I'm coming from a moto g 2013 so the speed bump is noticeable.
So far everything seems to be working really well, i cant get a GPS lock inside a building but it works fine outside (the moto g easily got a fix inside) but who need GPS indoors anyway :)
I'm going to try out the phone for the next week or 2 and see how it performs, I've read battery life can be disappointing but it was factory reset yesterday and battery life seems fine so far, i guess ill have to give it a few more cycles to be fair.
I also use GPS/maps a fair bit for my work, on the moto, google maps used very little battery , any experiences anyone with battery life and GPS on the nexus ?
One further question, do you think the upcoming 5.0.2 update will improve the battery life or is 5.0.1 what i can best expect ? also any ideas when the official 5.0.2 update is pushed to my phone (its in the uk).
Thanks
Michael

I just purchased a perfect Pocket Wireless Car Charger for my Nexus 6! topic

Finally my search of finding a perfect wireless car charger for a giant Nexus 6 comes to an end. I recently purchased a Pocket Wireless car charger from Amazon with rotatable metal hook that fits both vertical and horizontal air vents. The package also contains cigarette lighter and comes with 12 month warranty. It cost me even less than with free shipping across the USA.

Sending back N6 as N4 seems just as good - CRAZY?? topic

Title says it all: so am I missing something? The n6 just isn't much different in real world use as I have n4 with Nexus 5 experience rom L5.02. The camera is slow and in use over holiday no better than n4. Defaulted to wife's iphone 5s instead.

Screen size is nice and I have big hands, but balance is off and phone too heavy it seems, though was getting used to it.

Nonetheless, called google to return it - going back Monday.

Any thoughts?

Just Updated to 4.4.4 unbelievable lag does 5.0 cure this? topic

I've just updated to 4.4.3 today which seemed buggy (not responding etc) I then updated to 4.4.4. The lag has made it unusable. If I click settings for example I get a lag of quite a few seconds. I never had this before I updated.

I've done a search it seems like I'm the only one. Has anyone else had this problem? Did updating it to 5.0 cure it? (I haven't got the OTA update for 5.0)


PS My device is unrooted & staying that way. I'm not interested in hearing a lecture about it & I won't enter into a debate about it.

[Q] Just rooted, if I upgrade will I lose root though? topic

So today I managed to root my Z2 :D

Following advice from o0 Matt 0o in another thread, I downgraded from 4.4.4 to 4.42 using flashtool, then using the rootkitXperia_20140719 install.bat the phone is now rooted (for some reason it would not find adb even though running adb from a cmd prompt worked!)

Anyway, now I am on 4.4.2 with root, if I upgrade back to stock 4.4.4 rom will I lose the root?

[Q] Just bought a used G3, several questions? topic

I need some info about a used Verizon g3 I purchased. Everything works fine, but I can't see where to check if the latest software is updated?
When I go to the phone info area, there's no tab to touch to check.

Does that mean this phone has been rooted? Excuse me.... I'm a newbie.... don't really know how to distinguish between rooted and non rooted.

How would I ever update the phone? Does Verizon do it automatically?

I'm grandfathered in with unlimited data and can tether freely with this phone, a surprise to me.
Would I compromise this with any Verizon updates?

Thx

Rollback 3.2.7 just popped in... What can I do to help? topic

Hi!

I've a rollback file on my Kindle currently waiting for downgrading.
The file just popped in and waiting that I'll charge my kindle.

Is there anything I can do for the community to support with information and/or files?

I am on stock 4.5.2 with, of course, no root.

Cheers

Galaxy s3 no CWM, just stock. topic

I tried to root my galaxy s3(with CWM in odin) but ended up being in stock recovery after doing the things with ODIN. What to do now?

Thanks :)

Just purchased LG G3 White topic

Hey community! I am currently and sadly a GS4 user with AT&T. Have had to deal with safestrap which im thankful for, never a full unlock. Just purchased a G3 off swappa. Definitely looking forward to having full control over my device without restrictions.

Read around and rooting is obviously easy. Custom recovery is what im going to be looking into next. Whats your current rom if running custom? If your still on stock, why? :)
Cheers

[Q] Lollipop 5.0.2 setup stuck on "Just a sec" topic

I just finished building my own Android ROM based on SlimSaber and the Boeffla kernel, it flashes correctly, it boots correctly but when I enter the setup and turning on cellular data, it gets stuck on "Just a sec" I've left this screen on for about 10 minutes and nothing has happened.


Can anyone help or know what might be causing this?
Thanks.

[Q] What just happened? And what did I do? topic

I have a motorola photon q that is rooted, and is running CM 10.1. Everything was working fine last night, but when I woke up my phone would not turn on, I thought maybe my charger messed up, but using different chargers did not work, no led, no screen response, anything. I tried recovery mode and fastboot, and couldn't get either to work. When I hooked it into my PC there was no response on either end. I thought about calling sprint, and while dealing with their automated system, I managed to get it to boot into recovery (TWRP 2.4) where I cleared my cache and Dalvik, and now it seems to be working fine.
All I want to know is what happened? Was it just luck I managed to get it into recovery? What do I do if it continues happening?

It's also worth noting that in TWRP it said my battery was at %33 but my phone is telling me I'm fully charged.

SM-T805 just won't let edit files on SD topic

Sorry if I am in the wrong forum. Found it a little confusing... Anyway... Just purchased my galaxy tab s. When I found out how it behaves with external memory rooted it at once, did the thing for read/write permissions, disabled this weird safety feature and... I'd does not alow editing files to any program which causes a big problem when I try to use "iGO" navigator for example which keeps its files on SD, or use some office program to edit any content on SD... It does alow creating and deleting files though.
Any ideas? Many thanks in advance! :)

I just bought myself the Z2 Tablet (SGP512) topic

So I got it out of the box and straight away it had a bunch of updates, which I went through with.
Im now sitting on Android 4.4.4 build number 23.0.1.A.4.30.
I was wondering if this could be rooted? This is my first Sony device so I'm new here :)

Just ordered a Droid Turbo Over A Sony Z3v Did I make the right choice? topic

Im seriously in love with the droid but after checking out the specs of the Sony Z3 then playing and holding one, Im wondering if I made a bad decision. I kinda just rushed into the upgrade, I've been using a droid ultra for so long and loved it so I figured the upgrade would be even sweeter. My girlfriend got an iPhone 6 and wanted me to get one too so we can have a secure end to end conversation when I'm out of town but I can just do that from my iPad. So my phone gets here tomorrow and I was actually considering taking it straight to the Verizon store and exchanging it for a Z3v but what do you guys think. Are you loving your phones enough that the slight battery and screen improvements are worth the width and girth of the turbo over the slender sexy IPS water resistant up to 30 minutes Sony Z3v? The waterproof rating is tipping the scales for me but maybe Ill try it for a few days, if I hate it I think I have up to 14 days to exchange. Also No wireless charging or DLNA from the droid turbo COM' ON MAN!!!!

Multiple issues, I just tried updating. help? topic

So I've been using (T-Mobile) D80120a for a long time and was having some issues with it so I thought I'd try upgrading since latest version is D80120g. I was hoping it would fix some of them.

My issues:
1. If my phone was on vibrate, it sometimes would act like silent mode, not even vibrating when I would get a text.
2. Bluetooth (music) in my new car will sometimes pause, then fast forward to catch up. Not sure if this is my car or phone's issue.
3. Worst of all, my phone turns itself off without notice. Sometimes multiple times in a short amount of time. No sound, no vibration, nothing. Never while using it or charging but sometimes when I haven't even touched it...
4. Some apps randomly tell me my phone is not rooted when I know it is. I have and use SuperSU and I've removed some system apps such as widgets that I don't use and are safe to remove. Also, apps such as ES File Explorer refuse to mount the /system folder. I can browse and edit all root folders except that one.

After successfully upgrading to g, all issues are fixed except 2, which again my not be my phone's fault. BUT g has added a new issue, now knock on/off will not work for some reason. I've turned it off and back on, and restarted a thousand times. Is there an apk responsible for allowing knock to work? What all can I try?

and btw, I'm also looking for a bloatware list for t-mobile D80120g! All of them I have found don't include everything or has a bunch of stuff that isn't there. I know some of this is crap but I'm really trying to only remove safe stuff so my issues don't return!

[Q] Fully Charged T-mobile LG G3 Just Died topic

Hi guys,

Another problem with my lg g3.
So yesterday i unplugged the phone from my computer after it was fully charged, went to bed, and after waking up, the phone was 98% charged, had one miss call, returned the call, but couldn't reach the person, so i put the phone down, time to go to work, and when i try waking up the phone, it was completely dead.
I tried all the troubleshooting i read and could think of, nothing, up till this morning, the phone is still dead.
And the funniest part is, if i plug the phone using its usb into my computer, the computer makes that notification sound it often make when the phone is plugged in, so the computer recognized that something was plugged in, yet the phone won't turn on. And no red charging light either.
This is a new phone, never been dropped, not a scratch.
Unfortunately i bought this from a 3rd party brand new, so can't go to tmobile for this, since i use it with my simple mobile service, and don't have registration info that LG requires for warranty.
Any idea would help, thanks

[Q] Can someone tell me what did I just break??? topic

Hi, so i bought new s5 mini and broke on tiny element even before I managed to turn it on. There is small plastic cover next to sim card. As I removed that plastic cover, this small element snapped right off. Thing is the phone works normally, I haven't tested all the functions yet but so far all good. Can someone tell me what it does and is it hard/expensive to fix?
