My version says the same thing, 8.1.15. The error's gone in the meantime since I've wiped the Cache using the Bootloader. Every time I "fix" it I hope it goes away for good.

Hey guys, I'm sure it isn't the first time you've seen this message, but it's an ongoing issue for me. I've got my Nexus 5 (GSM/T-Mobile) upgraded to the latest OTA for Lollipop 5.1.1 & I'm pretty sure the update is the cause of this problem. I know how to make it go away for a while. The...

Re: How do I add custom ringtones? one thing that always worked for me (on Galaxy Nexus and my new Nexus 5) is to install ES File Explorer. when you go to an app or into the Settings to pick a ringtone, it'll actually give you a choice on what to use to pick your ringtone. if you choose ES File...

nnnnnnnnggggghhhhhhh

I agree. if I didn't have until may on this Sprint agreement of mine I'd be in Nexus 4 land by now...

Hey guys, there seems to be a problem with NFC on the Nexus S or at least the Sprint version. My last phone would sometimes refuse to read NFC tags like the ones I use at home and work. And every single time I would go into the system settings and click the More option to see if the NFC check...

I went to the Sprint store too and they also gave me a refurb. Glad they didn't leave me high and dry.

Hey guys, so, after a year-or-so streak of no hardware problems from my Nexus S 4G, it looks like the power button has randomly destroyed itself. From whatever unusual behavior I could surmise from it, it seems like it's sort of half held in and the other half not. If I take out my battery and...

im pretty sure that signing someone up to Cat Facts violates the Law of War as well as the Geneva Convention, such as mustard gas, chemical warfare, et cetera...

I manage a few PCs in my home, including a MAME cabinet I recently built. This may not even be an Android specific question but I figured I can ask as a start. I'm familiar with NFC tags so I plan on attaching one to each of my PCs. What I'd like to do is somehow call on Windows to display a...

yesterday around mid afternoon I remembered the JB update so I tried that Google Framework trick and it appeared immediately. installed in about 10 minutes and it runs more stably than any of the ROMs I've tried beforehand. I'm not looking for blazing speed here (NXS is a single core 2010 phone)...

maybe it's just me, but i have always had a problem with the Jelly Bean ROMs ive installed. specifically Google Now. id hit the search hardware button and I'd get a white screen for a solid 10 seconds or so followed by the "bling!" sound effect but no visual cue, leaving me wondering whether or...

Hey! That sexy Nexus 7 would go very well with my Nexus S 4G...very well indeed...:cool:

If I remember correctly, back in February Google had dropped support for all Nexus devices that ran on CDMA networks, as the proprietary keys needed to lock into the CDMA baseband are not open-source. In Google's logic these phones are not fully open and therefore not supported by Google. This...
