How to enable Download Booster (untested)

Just found this, haven't had a chance to test it out, but it shows that it is activated.
Using Nova as you launcher: long press on homescreen, go to shortcuts and then Activities. Expand Settings and you'll see a label for Download Booster. This will put the shortcut on your home screen, from there you can activate it.
As I said I have not tested a download so don't skewer me if it doesn't work.

testing out now. will report soon

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I downloaded a 50MB test file -- LTE never kicked in. The entire file was downloaded over WiFi. Damn, this workaround looked promising
Thanks for the tip, though. Maybe (hopefully) this helps speed the process along to actually get it implemented for us.

doesn't appear to be working. I enabled it but it doesn't show any toggle to turn on when your downloading files and there is no notification saying its working.

OMG THAT WORKS. It is there. Wow. You are the best.
EDIT: I CAN CONFIRM IT DOESN'T WORK.

Doesn't work, but you can also use anycut to get to that menu. Just so everyone knows.

Despite it NOT working, I think we are really onto something here. This means they left the feature in the phone, they just turned it off somewhere. Maybe if we can get root, a developer can find a way to turn this on somehow. I don't need the toggle.

+1. This tells us that it's there, but most likely permanently frozen, or broken in AT&Ts TouchWiz purposely. I'm sure through rooting it can be brought in, once it's better understood on the phone versions that do have it.

That's what the rumor was/is. The reasoning behind that: they disabled it due to software not being ready on their end in time for the official launch. Considering other US carriers also disabled it (Verizon, Sprint, etc) I find that rumor hard to believe. My guess is the only way we'll see the feature on our phones is through a root method, unfortunately.

Ok, stupid question, but, how can you tell if it IS working? Is there a benchmark operation that we KNOW works on the TMO model which has it activated that we can see if it actually doesn't work? Just curious....not challenging anyone's reporting, but wondering if the download doesn't meet the criteria for it....

I enabled it on our phone and went to download the game "Fast 6" which is over 200 MB big download from the Play Store... that was the same test done I saw on a T-Mobile S5 and download booster was working in full swing.. I repeated that screenshot on my end and the download booster icon (event though it was there) never lit up and displayed stats like that T-Mo screenshot did.

So you're saying it does work, just doesn't have a visual indicator (the icon doesn't turn white) that it's working? Cuz, I'm kinda ok with that until they "officially" turn it on (not holding my breath) in the next OTA update.....

well, it "activates" but almost looks like a dummy activation, because it's not doing what it should be doing according to all the screenshots out there. I don't know if it was actually downloading faster or not... I have 50Mbps wifi and 20Mbps LTE where I live

Yeah, so I "tested" the download six times, 3 sets of 2, for the first 100mb, three times with DB "enabled" and three times just on wifi. No significant result. The timing was practically identical (no statistical significance between the two sets). Oh well.....maybe on the next update ROTFLMAO! :laugh:

i have the T-mobile version unlocked and on ATT. see screenshot.

FYI- After enabling DB, you can uninstall Nova Launcher and DB is still 'enabled', even after a reboot.

Thread cleaned.

[Q] Google Play Services apk 6.5 for the nexus 6

I can't seem to find the GPS 6.5 apk for the nexus 6, My N6 is running 6.1.88 and the last 3 numbers are 730. Does anyone on here have it?

I am really wanting the Smart Lock Trusted Locations feature it brings...since Lollipop broke Delayed Lock.

That is the only reason i want this apk bad! Not having to input my pin/password at home and at my job seems really convenient.

I installed 6.5.85 nnnnn-438
It was updated (by Google) to 6.5.87 nnnnn-430.
I'm unaware of any issues and location unlock is working however it is the case that it doesn't work with lock enable/disable features of Elixer 2 or Power Toggles.

I had -438 installed before and trusted places worked without issues. However, I had poor battery life (mobile radio active), so keep that in mind.

Yes, I read that and decided to try an L version with the closest DPI -- x38.
I had no problems running 85...-438, but as I said *Google* updated it to 87...-430 which apkmirror says is universal (and I still don't have any problems, that I know of).

do any of you have the original apk of google services from the nexus 6 that we could install back if we already applied the -438 version?

I installed the 5.85...-438 apk in what I assumed was the standard fashion. After the 5.87...-430 update there's no option to go back.
Maybe someone will upload the 1.88...-730 version to apkmirror.

If you revoke GPS administrator privileges it will allow you to roll back.

I wonder if anyone on the Nexus 6 has received -730? It's been almost a week since the rollout - kind of shocked I don't have it yet AND there is no APK available...

Do you mean something other than "Device administators"?

No, that is what I mean. Uncheck that box and it should let you roll back.

I finally got mine today and it looks like it came with 6.5.87. I've been getting some odd battery drain and I'm trying to pin point where it's coming from . maybe this could be it?

Google pushed 6.5.87 (1599771-430) to my phone. This was also reported by a N6 owner on reddit.
The numbering scheme on apkmirror says -430 is a Nexus 6 with a non-dpi specific resolution. Do you have some reason to suspect Google pushed the wrong apk to my phone?

Did samsung put a back door into the Note 5??

So going through my phone I saw a new application there on the last page called "Write on PDF" I never installed this app but it's there. I checked the google play store and there it is listed as an app that I have added.
Looking further into the app and the reviews I see that I am not alone, there are many people who have commented that they to suddenly found this app installed without their permission, they all seem to have the Note 5.
Am I the only one that feels violated by this and that Samsung have overstepped the mark? Sure the app is harmless this time, but if they can install this app at will without my knowledge then what else can or have they installed without my permission??

If you go and listen to pocketnow's review, it seems the app has always been there on American devices, and visible. On our international units it seems to have been disabled by default, but was enabled in the past week or so, which even I noticed.

hi ,
i agree with above posters comments, that its been there all the time .
i notice the app appeared in the "open with " options, to choose from and later date , yes ,as a standalone app .
good luck

If it was always there then why does it appear last in my app tray? Something that happens when a new app is installed!
Also why in the playstore under my apps is it top of the list... Judging from the list it looks like it is ordered chronologically in installed order.
And all the other people in the reviews who also suddenly found it installed??

hi ,
for me it makes sense. In short.....
in my above post, i indicated that it was part of Samsung o/s on my device .
I know this, as i saw it listed in the "open with " options .
I wanted to view a PDF document and wanted to open the PDF as i tapped on document the" open with option" appeared with the option with a"Write on PDF"
Also you will noticed that you cannot uninstall this app (thus part of o/s )
You can only uninstall updates or disable app .
I later checked in the app drawer and could not find it accepting it "incorporate/ was part of o/s)
i recently saw the update to it and saw that it was a standalone app now (but still part of system .)
and as such , listed, as a "new" stand alone app now in app drawer ?
( maybe reason why it appears in Playstore top etc etc .... )
bottom line..........
I am not trying to convince you ,
just relating to what i "saw/experienced " with regards to app .
good luck

It was always pre installed...but was not visible in the app drawer. ..so people were wondering where is the supposed pdf write app. ..because once you opened a pdf with another app..it always became the default app and write pdf was no where to be seen. ..
So last week with a new update to the app. .it is now visible as a stand alone app

Wouldn't surprise me, Samsung one who has to call foul on that. But input from user gets their case going. Same issue when Google called foul on Samsung for blocking gapps on their s6, using android only requires openness to gapps.

The T-Mobile version also has the VZW LTE bands. I read somewhere, that if you launch it first time without a sim in it. You might skip the loading, or installing of carrier bloatware. Nothing confirmed, but a few people theorizing.
If I had known that I would definitely try it.

Disabled Bixby

I am a Google Assistant user and absolutely hate Bixby, especially that damn button! So I figured out a way to totally disable it, including the button.
1. Download Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store
2. Open it up and do a search for "Bixby"
3. Put a check mark in every box that has the word "Bixby" in it.
4. Reboot phone.
5. No more Bixby and it deactivates the button.

Just be mindful if you hide/disable/uninstall a system app doing this,you can't bring it back unless you do a factory reset.

Then why would you suggest this approach? This is way too risky for me. At least with Package Disabler Pro you can always re-enable things if you need to.

Maybe do a Google search for Samsung/Oreo bloatware. There is also an option in the app to disable all bloatware, but that's too general for me.

Some may consider the app Package Disabler Pro "bloat" when you can use ADB to remove/disable items that you know w/certainty you will not use/need.
I'm not in that camp,but,others may be,or,just don't want to cough up the cost of the app.
I definitely plan on using Package Disabler Pro,for the very reason you stated,ease of re-enabling w/o a factory reset.

If the Bixby button is a problem. You can remap it to use Google Assistant with bxActions. Worked for me on my SGS8+

Not with Note 9. Bxaction is still sorting through Bixby 2.0. I remapped it as my back button. It works, but its buggy.
Trying Bixby see what it has to offer.

Am I the only one to sense that this is promotional post.

Yep, you're the only one. I started this post to share how I disabled it. Troll elsewhere.

If you're rooted, you can remap the button. Already done with mine and it works perfectly.
This; https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/root-remap-bixby-button-o-app-t3601061
Then you can use Button Remapper, and it will pick up the key.
