Hi
I was installing a new battery on my nexus 5x and I noticed a unused connection by the led flash and laser focus.
Does anyone know what this is used for?

If you mean the connection on the left it may be maybe for some debugging with the board

Well if it's that wouldn't that make it USB worthy? Like internal micro SD MOD!

maybe it's used to force your device into EDL mode, or something similar

Sounds like the display resolution of the monitor is too low.

Have you tried a factory reset?
Yes I have, I'll try it again.
no luck still doesnt work. Is there a way to reflash the firmware to my phone without connecting it to my pc as the phone only came with a usbc to usbc cord?
I'm having the same issue, I'm getting the cable next week so I will try anything I can, it's so frustrating

Nexus 5X Slow Performance

While I have experiencing this A LOT of times:
http://f.cl.ly/items/2S2j1B3l0h2l1B2N2k2z/Untitled.mp4
I also did a recent discovery today: The Moto X Play its faster when it comes to take pictures, also a lot faster than the N5X with HDR enable in both phones.
Im really, both amazed and disappointed by this. I switched from a Moto X Play to the N5X to find only lags and slow performance.
Anyone else have experienced something like this? Is this a general problem or my device could be defective?
You actually switched from a moto x? are you nuts?

There where a lot of complaints about the Moto X Play, i even participated in tests for find a way to speed it's performance.
And yes, while the Nexus 5X it's faster, the Moto X Play it's more stable.

How often do you need to take HDR pictures and do you really need to press the shutter every second? If you know how to selectively expose a scene properly then HDR is not needed at all. While NX5 takes excellent pictures, I only use it when extremely needed. A dedicated camera especially ones with WIFI connectivity for direct upload to social networking sites is far better than any camera phone out there.
You're experiencing lags and freezes. Serious ones too! Mine for a little slow after the April MHC19Q update. So I wiped it and it was much better after a factory reset. I also go to developer mode and turn down all three animations to to 0 and enable force GPU rendering.

Well, the problem is that it slow and freeze with only 3 or 5 HDR pictures, is not that many. And the Moto X Play, even the Nexus 4 can handle more than that. The video I uploaded was even before I take any picture, I just opened the camera app.
I blame the encryption since it doesn’t make any sense that those smartphones can handle that process faster.
About “A dedicated camera especially ones with WIFI connectivity for direct upload to social networking sites is far better than any camera phone out there.” I have used my cousin S7 Edge and its impressive fast for pictures, and with the N5X and S7 with raw support, I believe we should be able to handle without the need for a dedicated camera.
I already sent my N5X back in hope to receive a new device, maybe there was something wrong with the internal storage read/writes.

Mine was already reset to factory settings for the 3th time, so I gave up and sent it today for replacement. I don't think this is the kind of device that need the animations to be disabled, my gf Moto X Play doesn't need that, even the Nexus 4 im using right now doesn’t need that.

The 5x is much faster than a Moto X Play and N4. I guess you had a bum unit.

I just wanted to say that I sent my Nexus 5X back to LG for repairs, following own Nexus Forum recommendation:
https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/nexus/sFmrWiceXf4/bAEAdlO_BwAJ
But I got back my phone in this state:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...s5x_lg_warranty/photo_2016-08-23_17-24-10.jpg
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...s5x_lg_warranty/photo_2016-08-23_17-24-15.jpg
Also I need to say that they sent me back my phone without the box, charger, original cable and everything else inside the box.
Since the phone wasn’t rooted and was still encrypted it was a nightmare to get it working by my own, but I finally managed to install a custom recovery and from there do a clean install, but to find the LG sent my my phone without the SIM tray.
I had to buy a new charger, cable and sim tray, but I have the phone working now.
If I use the stock rom or CyanogenMod rom I still get the same exact problem in my video, but with Dirty Unicorns seems that the problem its gone for good, so i still believe its a software problem, but as long I stick to DU i should not have problems anymore :good:

Android Auto with OnePlus 3 running Oxygen 3.1.2

Anyone had any luck or tried their new Oneplus 3 with Android Auto yet? I have been unable to get mine to connect with the factory USB type C cable on my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. My Oneplus One running Sultans CAF 13.0 ROM runs no problem. This could be enough to make me return this new OnePlus 3 honestly. I really rely and love Android Auto.
unlock bootload and flash cm13, since sultans rom runs off of CM13 and see if that works
Sultan has not made a ROM for Oneplus 3, or else I would definitely do that. I am watching the threads with other CM 13 authors but seems a little too early to jump in on any of those.
OK I have tried Resurrection Remix Official which is a CM based ROM, still no luck (Very nice ROM with a ton of features BTW) Have some Type C cables and adapters on the way from Amazon, maybe it is the factory cable?? If anyone has had success or issues would love to hear from you, I can't be the only one
Come on guys, Android Auto is a must these days....how can we make it work ?
Glad I saw this thread before I bought. If Android Auto will not work on it then I'll gonna pass on it. Hope they get it working in time as I do want this phone.
I did have similar issues with ROM's when I first got my AVH-4100NEX and my Oneplus One, luckily I just kept trying a few different ROM's until one worked. Never figured out what the issue was but now most I have tried have worked with the One. Just being so new there are only so many to try with the Oneplus 3 at this point.
I have contacted Oneplus about it, they don't even know what I am talking about, they just keep replying that they can't guarantee the phone to work with all bluetooth devices. I have told them twice now it is not the Bluetooth, in fact my Bluetooth has been fine. It is only when the cable is plugged in. I have made some progress on the latest ROM I have tried, it now says Android Auto is connected on the phone, notification, BUT...it isn't because I do not get the 2nd notification I am used to saying the phone is in car mode AND the Android Auto button on the head unit is not lighting up.
Tried multiple cables now, and known working micro USB cables with type C adapters now. Same results. It's either the phone or the ROM. Next thing I am going to try is a different version if GAPPS specifically play services, since everything uses it it would appear.
I was able to get my OnePlus 3 connected to my Seat Leon with Android Auto a few times after I plugged it in and out dozens of times, did some restarts of the OPO3 and the media unit, plus some tinkering with the USB MTP and notification access settings. But it was never stable, longest lasting connection was about 15 minutes long, than it crashed again. The overall success rate for connecting is about 1 of 10 times. So altogether not usable...
The question is on the official 1+ forums also and they are ignoring it.
I'm guessing there will be no AA support.
Oh well, The Axon 7 is being released soon and hopefully it will work there.

I tried it on my golf 7 and it was working fine then a couple minutes later it started freaking out. Kept connecting and disconnecting in a loop. Seemed like an issue android auto had when I first got the car with my Nexus 6 but was eventually fixed with an update to AA.

Forgot to mention that I was using it with a micro USB cable with an adapter on it. Also I should try it again because a lot of things seem to have some issues on first use with this phone. If not I'll try one plus cable.

So with an adapter, it didn't do this? Only when you used the original cable?

Work around accord 2016
I had a tough time getting Android Auto working with my Honda accord 2016. All other phones worked fine except the op3.
Finally was able to get it to work. Here is what i did:
1. Enable developers options
2. Connect the phone to the car while the car is on
3. Go to developers options and under "select USB configuration" pick "MIDI"
Then Android Auto connects to the car. It is really disappointing to see the bugginess of the phone. I really like the hardware. But the software is s**t. If I wasn't past the return date I would have gotten a different phone. Oh well at least I got it to work for now. Hopefully op will release an update to fix the glitches.
Had connected to support and asked them about Android Auto support before i figured out the work around. They flatly stated that Android Auto is not a supported feature. Support was supposed to be added in "a few weeks". Don't know how long weeks are in OP land
Cheers and hope this helps someone
Ah you used midi? I tried mtp but that didn't work. The latest release fixed the issue of it not saving the selected USB mode. It always reverted to charging

Transfering everything from Current Pixel 2 XL to New Pixel 2 XLq

Hello all, I currently have a PIXEL 2 XL, but it started getting hot so Verizon is sending me a new PIXEL 2 XL, same color and size. How can I move everything over from my Pixel 2 to the New Pixel 2?.
I want to transfer everything like it is on my current pixel ( pictures, apps contacts, messages, whats app messages)…. Please let me know your thoughts.
Does this work for you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27r4ecy8Yjc
I'm looking for something I can back up to my computer for the same reason as you.
When you get the new one it will ask you if you want to transfer everything over using old phone just do that and it will copy everything in external storage partition and download all your apps
But if you are having hest issues you may want to go thru your apps and be a bit selective if you really need the app or not

Do the phones have to be connected via cord or just login in via gmail?
