Well I couldn't get through with going back down to 5.0.1. But did install Franco r75 which does make the phone seem snappier. Battery life is now atrocious though.
That update you mentioned is for the nexus 6 not 5, the latter of which is what I own.

Can't be any worse than 5.1.1, nexus 6 only gets around 3 hours screen on time before battery goes down to about 30%

So I pulled apart the g2, scratched the tint off the glass by the proximity sensor and that didn't fix the problem. Luckily I took back the old screen and when I looked at it realised they didn't transfer the rubber insulator for the ps to the new screen. Swapped that back in and working fine now.

^ah boy
forgot to mention that. You hadda transfer a few things from the old one.

Recently i started getting random app download pop ups when i open an app. Especially whatsapp. Can't figure out what the problem is. Anyone ever had this problem? Running stock lollipop 5.0.1 on my S4.

Yeah, also I brought in the entire frame and screen. After resolving that issue I realised how freaking easy it would have been to do the replacement myself. oh well.

Dam. You should write a book pete

That's not what the forum was for? Was just going to search my posts after a year or two and copy and paste.

Argh, feeling for a new phone.
Nothing too big, as little bloatware as possible.

How are the HTC and lg phones on the bloatware?

Where stocks the nexus 5 locally?

When the digitizer was cracked I was using google now launcher as the size of the icons I could actually open any app. Now I've gone back to the stock LG launcher as it has smaller icons and double tap to lock works.

"upgrade" yuh say? that phone isn't going past ICS and that weak dual core isn't going to do very much for you

[Crackpot]

Anybody know how to boost browsing speeds on a S3?

Or maybe change the channel on the router it connects to ?

Gimme a Lil description nah.

Anyone will be interested in my n4? Might need a battery, every other day it needs charging. Battery at 30 - 40%, used to get more out of it.

Looking to buy either a n5 or g3, leaning towards the g3.

I personally used a G3 and idk.. I wasn't as impressed with it as reviews and people said I should be. To me the N5 is smoother.

No box, just a charger and a Spigen clear case and a Tough armor case. No scratches on the screen it's flawless, has a tempered glass protector installed. The phone is probably nearing a year and I noticed the battery capacity drop a bit so I replaced it.

The back has a few scuffs but nothing major. Rooted as well but can go back stock easily.

Yea I have, it's a pretty simple thing to do, check out XDA, you need to erase some files (the loki) and flash a modified loki via twrp recovery!

I did this for the Verizon model tho so depending on the carrier it may be different!

My HTC wildfire S had a problem with the lock/power button

Fixed it by injecting CRC contact cleaner and WD40 into the switch with a syringe/needle
Works good now.

Had it since 2012 and I got around to rooting it just now lolol

android 2.3.5 FTW

[nervewrecker]

So its just not me getting horrid battery life?

I though my battery on its way out. Just so it start so I was wondering if it was OS.

Anyhew, taking EOI on my nexus 4.

[Mr.Bollywood]

Lol nah bro it's not only you, if it wasn't for this turbo charger I'd be so pissed with this nexus!

Good thing the oneplus two debuts in the end of July!
