  • Yard Sale: Nexus 6 & Nexus 9

    For sale: Nexus 9 Details White edition 16Gb No 3/4G bought via Amazon UK, comes with UK charger, in May 2015 Comes with latest Android (6) Pretty much as new. Barely used to be honest. Selling because I don’t see the point of owning a tablet (I’ve tried, a Nexus 7, and now this, but nah)…

  • Nexus 5 LCD swap

    I had two Nexus 5 with cracked LCDs. I got these from China, including the Bezel (~$5 more expensive, and doesn’t make you have to fizzle around with a heat gun to detach the old LCD — but you’ll have to work from the backside, and remove all hardware components). As for the LCD itself, it works…

  • Nexus 6

    After 10 days of Nexus 6… And it already falling out of my pocket when I got out of the car (it survived, but it’s scratched on the sides)… All I can say is: I WANT MY NEXUS 5 BAAAAAAAAACK. So when N5 2015 is released, I’ll have a Nexus 6 for sale! Why did…

  • Waze not getting a GPS fix

    TL;DR: recalibrate your compass. I’ve come across an issue for the past 10 days that Waze kept losing its GPS fix. This meant: constantly switching between 0 and 120 (or whatever) km/h constantly zooming in & out on maps (dynamic zoom level depending on speed) being in a field/not on the road for most of the…

Belgium: Flanders (small point radius): Antwerp: Antwerp with smaller point radius: Brussels (small radius): World (medium sized radius): It seems to have some points of when I didn’t have internet (ie…

  • Gmail (& Google Apps) & IPv6

    It seems that Google’s anti spam measurement for IPv6 is basically checking if the IP has a reverse DNS. If not, reject the e-mail: This is the mail system at host rootspirit.com. I’m sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It’s attached below. For…

  • Yard Sale: Nexus 7 3G (1st gen)

    More sales… This time a Nexus 7 (with 3G). This is the first generation, but still running the latest version of Android (Kitkat, 4.4.2 — and rumoured to get the 4.4.3 update soon). It’s the 32Gb version (~27.5Gb of usable space). This device was bought in the US of A, as the 3G version was (or…

  • 4.4.x & Nexus 7 (2012/v1)

    New Android, once more a laggy device. Thank you Google. My Nexus 7 (1st generation, 2012 model, with 3G) is encrypted, so I guess that might also slow everything further down. Three things I did to solve the lagginess: Wipe cache (howto), Clear space (I had some movies left on it, deleted a few big…
