  • Yard Sale: Nexus 6

    Nexus 6 Details New device from end of September (used for one month; I’ve owned a N6 for a longer time, but due to a battery problem, Google swapped it for a brand new device; then I swapped to a Nexus 6P) Midnight Blue edition 64Gb 4G and stuff (side note: reception & signal is…

  • Nexus 5: boot loop

    Nexus 5: boot loop

    I had a Nexus 5 stuck in a boot loop (Android logo/animation in a loop, not actually booting). This is what I think I’ve done to fix the issue. It seemed that /persist partition was corrupt. I tried a factory reset, flash new stock images, and clear cache, etc before trying the following. Note that…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Nexus 4 red light of death (2)

    To continue my story, I replaced the battery with a new, and what appears to be a genuine LG battery (if not, then those Chinese are getting good at it). It worked and booted, but the battery got drained in ~8 hours (100% to 0%). And it felt a tiny bit warm on the cover,…

  • Nexus 4: Red light of death

    On Thursday night I used my Nexus 4 as GPS (as I always do — it’s my main navigation device, so Google, please bring back a usable navigation app pretty plx!) to drive from Brussels to Antwerp (~40 minutes). I had about 60% of battery left when I turned on the GPS. I tend to…
