Thanks I will. It's just restoring at moment so when that's done I'll root through wugs and then try the flash of elementalX in twrp or flashify. Is elementalX the best kernel at the moment? I'm not completely sure what it does yet as not read enough about it.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I've looked at a couple but always go back to elemental

Just a thought did you flash elemental over stock or custom kernel

If you come from a custom kernel you need to flash stock kernel over it before flashing elemental
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Oh yeah was stock kernel. Didn't change it, just went to elemental website downloaded the file for nexus 6 to the phone and flashed in twrp. Went through the set up and everything and turned on first time round but then I reboot after changing three build.prop for screen resolution to get the icons smaller and it just got stuck. I tried flashing it again but didn't change anything (changing build.prop only made the writing smaller, didn't notice any change in icon size :confused: )

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

I also realised that I wouldn't have a phone if I returned the N6 as my note 4 had gone back and would leave me with nothing!
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I couldn't be without a phone I'd be having withdrawal symptoms

I think that there is dpi changer apps on play store
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Cool I'll check them out. Again really appreciate your help guys! I'll be sure to hit you up if I come across any other issues! :D. Any one figured out how to get a reboot option when you press the power button? I've tried the quick reboot app (which was one of the things that caused the boot loop) but not seen anything else.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Your welcome mate

We're all here to help each other out
[Nexus 6  General] snakeman65:
Just had a call from my contact at the CEO team. He confirmed that they didn't get anywhere near the quantity of blue 64gb units that they were supposed to. Also he said that an email should have come out to people that missed the first batch so something went wrong there. Additionally, while they are still looking into it, it looks like the few orders that went out early were likely human error! And lastly, they still don't know exactly when and how many units they'll get from Motorola but they are trying to get them as early as possible.
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
Mine says 4, what does it mean?
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Someone at cpw actually being honest

Why couldn't they have been like that to start with
[Nexus 6  General] sufibravo:
If you're rooted texdroider is a simple tool to change the DPI in the build.pop file.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi&hl=en

I'm at 360 on my OnePlus
[Nexus 6  General] snakeman65:
Yep! I'm impressed with the CEO team so far. It's a shame it had to go that far!
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
It is really

That's what their customer services should be but I think all models should have been made available at all retailers at the same time it's been one huge mess this year
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
Its nice to see a little honesty, they needed to communicate to people what is going on the void of information is what makes things a lot harder for people. An order status page and possibly give people the option's for example hey we didn't get the stock we expected would you like to wait until we get stock, or we have some white 64gb or blue 32gb's would you like one of those and get the device sooner? Just something to show they give a damn.
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
Got any screenshots mate? Can you fit more apps at the bottom? I'm on 380 at the moment and have 6 across the bottom.
[Nexus 6  General] dodgebizkit:
So, besides CPW, how many (and which) places are taking orders for the 64gb model?
[Nexus 6  General] sufibravo:
If you mean my home screen, then I've set my launcher (Action Launcher) to display a 10*7 Grid. I don't have the text labels under the icons, which means I have more space for the icons themselves.

tl;dr I can fit 7 apps across the bottom.
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
In the UK the only ones I know of other than CPW are:

http://www.mobicity.co.uk/google-nexus-6-64gb.html

http://www.expansys.com/google-nexus-6-64gb-midnight-blue-267478/
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
Ah ok. Never mind. I think 380 is small enough for might. Might check out 360 later tonight tho.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Picked up my blue 32gb from CPW today.

Orzly glass protector installed, and so fa I'm using the Spigen ultra hybrid case.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Is the glass screen protector a good fit and does it stick down properly there's mixed reports about them
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57399033
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Doesn't look like it still completely covers entire screen
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
What do you mean?

The screen is covered.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Just seems a small fit zooming in on the pics
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
It covers the screen completely, you ain't gonna get a glass protector that covers the entire front of the device due to the curved design of the phone.

But the screen is completely covered.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Does it leave a gap between the edge of the protector and the case

Don't want to take the factory plastic film off till I get a decent glass screen protector
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Yes, as the protector only protects the screen.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
That's tiny! I've got mine at 540 on n6. I'm trying to get the icons a little smaller on home screen and in the app drawer. I read going before 520 could mess things up. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  General] sufibravo:
If you just want to adjust the icons on the home screen then you could use an alternative launcher. XGELS was awesome for the stock launcher; but Xposed isn't compatible yet, unfortunately. With regards to messing up, just keep trying different DPI's through trial & error, I never had an issue testing weird DPI's.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
From looking at it it's the rounded edges that aren't covered. The current tempered screen protectors don't go all the way over the sides. Some protectors have the 2.5D curve on it to match the curve of the screen at the point it meets the corning glass but doesn't go all the way round the curve. iloome has done some for the iPhone 6 which had a similar screen and their making some for the nexus 6. Just a matter of waiting for the moment. They call it curve protect. Have a look at the iPhone 6 one they have and you'll get what I mean

[Nexus 6  General] tombriden:
64gb available on play store. 3-4weeks delivery
[Nexus 6  General] tombriden:
I just ordered one as I think (hope) it's pretty easy to cancel.
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
That's just like CPW if not worse. Only advantage is the RMA process
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
Yup.. Even though I already have one in hand from cpw.. I've ordered one from the play store. Will send this one back.... Just for the customer service in the long run.
[Nexus 6  General] tombriden:
I'll keep whichever comes first. I've had no further info regarding delivery from CPW since they said 15th Dec so fingers crossed that actually happens; looks like I only just missed out on the first batch so if they get stock i'm hopeful I'll get it. GPS at least won't take money until it dispatches and there's a big 'Cancel order' button on the order info page if CPW does come through
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
Took 2mins 31 seconds on a call to CPW to cancel, and a text received whilst on the phone to say it's been cancelled and will be refunded to my card. I'd rather wait and deal with GPS.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Just happened again! Everything was done using wugs nexus root toolkit and didn't flash anything else. I had rebooted once after changing the size of icons and it booted fine, albeit took a minute or so to move from the boot screen with the coloured balls. I ran the battery down to ensure the battery isn't messed up by constant topping up and bam, stuck in boot loop again. Do you think there's a problem? Either with the memory or a device chip? I tried going into recovery and all I got was the android man in his back with a red warning triangle advice his stomach which was open like a flap. Getting quite annoyed with this phone now! I think I might have to take it back.
[Nexus 6  General] sufibravo:
Might be an app that you downloaded, maybe? Honestly when it comes to unlocking and rooting, doing it manually via ADB is the safest way to do it. Toolkits make the process easier, but sometimes can cause issues with different setups. However, the process can be daunting if you're not familiar with it, but it's definitely worth learning.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Sounds like your using stock recovery

If you've flashed twrp you should see the team win screen
[Nexus 6  General] dunjamon:
No problems here. Below 390 the phone becomes a tablet, so you get full landscape mode, month calendar, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Hmmm I'm not sure which app it could be but I'm steering clear of root apps. I tried it with adb myself a few times yesterday and got the same problem so tried nrt. I found sobering in their faqs about turning off force flash boot so I'm gonna try that and see what happens. I'm gonna flash twrp-can this be done on its own? As in "fastboot recovery recovery.img" and then "fastboot bootloader" and then "fastboot reboot" ???
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yes mate

Did you try flashify?
[Nexus 6  General] sufibravo:
You can flash TWRP by fastboot flash recovery "twrpfilename.img"
[Nexus 6  General] BlackDragonFun:
Just ordered the 64GB MB on GPS :) Did originally order through CPW and probably would have gotten it this week, but cancelled it as I would rather deal with GPS if there are any device issues.

I also originally wanted CW, but that was because I was unsure about the blue/purple trim and the back being a finger print magnet. Doesn't matter anymore as I'll definitely have a case on it.

Not due to ship till 1/5/15, but at least it's ordered now :)
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
No I didn't even get round to using flashify. Eugh, this is such a ball ache!

I must have flashed the phone about 6 times now. I am 99% sure of what I'm doing but there could be something that's sneaking in which is ballsing it up. The only apps I've used are from play store and any that developers have suggested on here where they've provided the link.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Best bet is to start clean and install one app at time till you find which one is causing the problem
[Nexus 6  General] sufibravo:
Yeah, get rid of all non-stock apps. Texdroider could be a culprit in some cases too, safe to see if the bootloop is a 3rd party app issue, or if you've flashed something wrong.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
OK cool. I'll do that. I'll start fresh all from beginning and then root and flash twrp. Fingers crossed this time!
[Nexus 6  General] mcwarre:
Same here. Fcuk CPW a complete and utter bunch of Kermits (no offence to the Muppet show)
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Right I've reflashed everything and just installed trusted (as in one I've used before without a problem) and stock apps. All seems fine for the time being. Reading online and what do I find, Google gave released the factory image for 5.0.1 for nexus 6! Now I have a feeling root won't work with this new one ... or will it? Read about bypassing fresh install to just update like an ota but my brain is fried at the moment so that's tomorrow's task. Any body ideas with the new image? You gonna update?
[Nexus 6  General] tombriden:
Root will still work with 5.0.1, it's only some bugfixes

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3825fc1b5207e543f564

I'm running 5.0.1 on my n5, flashed supersu in twrp after install and all worked no probs [emoji1]
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Cool! How did you flash 5.0.1? Sideload or adb clean install?
[Nexus 6  General] tombriden:
I compiled it as the factory image isnt out for n5 yet but flashed over the top of 5.0 from recovery. Nothing thats changed requires a data wipe
[Nexus 6  General] tombriden:
With the factory image you should be fine extracting the zip and just doing

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Cool thanks for the help :)
[Nexus 6  General] nolovelust:
Can someone with WiFi AC try if it connects to the router if SSSID is AC only.

My N6 doesn't even see my AC WiFi. N5 connects just fine to same AP
[Nexus 6  General] sjdean:
I just done the same. Got a quoted date of 5th January 2015 for shipping. Grr annoying.

I'd still rather wait for Google than CPW, who's only crime is not being upfront.

Handtec also quoting 5th January

http://blog.handtec.co.uk/pre-order...ted-release-week-commencing-5th-january-2015/
[Nexus 6  General] colinmcg71:
5.0.1 working fine with TWRP, SuperSU & ElementalX 0.06 here. Downloaded the image, extracted it, flashed only the new radio and system image. Wiped cache and rebooted then booted back into TWRP and flashed SuperSU 2.37 :)
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Both 2.4ghz and 5ghz shows up on my list. You might have to change the settings on the router to split the two bands instead of them being together under the same ssid.
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
so i was out tonight and got a system update (5.0.1) pushed OTA to my device... when i pressed restart & install the update vanished and im still on 5.0 and when i check for updates it says i am up date, what is that about?!
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
If your rooted the OTA won't work mate
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
im running totally stock, bootloader locked too
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Now that's strange try rebooting and have another go

Shouldn't have done that if your totally stock
[Nexus 6  General] chistery:
I had a similar issue with my OPO and I changed the control channel on my router from auto to 36 and it started working.
[Nexus 6  General] steslatt:
Anyone order from the play store in the last few days? Have you got a dispatch date? I've got an order with amazon due on the 23rd but if play store is shipping before I might go with them instead.
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
nope its gone, tryed a reboot and check for updates button many times! its as if the ota got pulled or somthing?
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Dunno mate I got the update notification thru to but didn't use it as I'm rooted

I've tried to get the update to show again but it's not showing up

So I haven't a clue to be honest
[Nexus 6  General] iRimas:
when and what did you order from playstore .and when you getting it?
[Nexus 6  General] steslatt:
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was asking if anyone had ordered a nexus 6 in the last few days from the play store? If so what is the dispatch date they have received?

I ordered the N6 from amazon weeks ago but the dispatch date is 23rd.
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
Thanks for confirming this, maybe they pulled the OTA because of a bug? Id be curious to see if anybody else is on 5.0.1 from ota
[Nexus 6  General] letom:
Think he means which nexus 6 model, the dates are different depending on model I believe.
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
if you are desperate to get an N6 now, your best bet is either giffgaff (as i write this they are in stock now - blue32GB) and carphone warehouse (as i write this the 32GB blue is in stock NOW)
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Don't know but it could be something to do with this

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...e-means-update-will-fail-system-modified-way/
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
Thats weird mate, i have literally no apps that are from untrusted sources, all google play store apps, totally stock ROM, so confused right now... but you know what i have a blue 32GB n6 I have to ship out for an ebay buyer today, i will go check if that got the OTA and see what happens now
[Nexus 6  General] steslatt:
Ah right, just the 32gb blue. I'd rather wait and buy with amazon or play store for customer service. Just wondering which will be the first to deliver.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Looks like quiet a lot has changed in lollipop
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
Just checked my other Nexus 6, no sign of an OTA update... i reckon google pulled the 5.0.1 update must of found a small bug.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

GiffGaff Have pretty good customer service from what i hear, if you ordered today you'd have your phone tomorrow, i wouldn't bother waiting for amazon.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Possible but google have been strange this year
[Nexus 6  General] steslatt:
How do they handle faulty devices? I know from experience Google replace then you send the faulty phone back. Amazon refund or replace the same way. I don't want to be stuck with no phone while they try to repair it you see.
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
I am not certain how they handle it, but ive not heard any complaints, perhaps a quick post on the giffgaff forums may answer your questions... and could save you waiting till next year for the phone?

EDIT: Just found this on their website.

What is a phone return

When you are buying a device on giffgaff.com, you can return it for a refund if you change your mind, or if it is faulty. You need to let us know you want to return a device within 14 days following its delivery to be entitled for a refund.

If you are returning a faulty phone, you have a choice of being refunded for the order, or to have a new handset of the same model sent to you.

Source: http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Using-giffgaff/Returns-and-Repairs-process/ta-p/10316825
[Nexus 6  General] steslatt:
Thanks, this is only if the device develops a fault within 14 days. After 14 days it is the same as most places. Send the device off, if it can be repaired it will be, if not you will get a replacement.
[Nexus 6  General] Demolition49:
it would appear so, i think Google still give a manufacturer warranty though, could be wrong.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Depends on whether their website is working. I have been trying to do a return but they haven't set the Nexus 6 up on their returns system yet and was told to just keep waiting. It was only after I kicked up a fuss on their Facebook page yesterday (been trying to return since Friday) that they found another way for me to do it.

This phone has been nothing but hassle for me so far since the release announcement, but the one I have in my hand now makes it worthwhile.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
I lost the update, only had 19% battery when I got the notification, waited but I was so tired I turned off the phone as even turbo charging was taking to long, fell asleep anyway lol. Now its not there.
[Nexus 6  General] liqn7:

I've been following this thread for a while now and I'm normally a iPhone user and have been for many a year so its time for a change and I placed an order for a N6 64gb Midnight Blue from GPS.

Placed my order on 10/12/2014 at 18:30 and i got the message Leaves warehouse on 1/5/15, this will be my first android phone I hope its a good expirence
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Status code 0 is what it should have been at when you got the phone.

Status code 2 is relocked and status code 3 is unlocked.

Where did you but your phone from?
[Nexus 6  General] mustyrash:
You're in good hands. My experience coming from iOS:

Spoiler content hidden.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Just incase anyone is thinking about insuring their phone, I have just got cover from insurance2go. Use the code SME5 from Money Saving Expert to get £5 off so it came to £59.99 for the year and that includes accidental damage, loss, and covers any phone bill being run up, cheaper ones are available that don't include loss. Quite a bit cheaper than CPW's £15 per month geek squad cover.

Normally I don't bother with insurances, but a couple of times while getting out of cars or bending down I have felt the phone coming out of my pocket due to the size.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

How do you see this? I though you had to be rooted to see that?
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Power off

Press and hold down vol + vol - and the power at the same time brings you to the bootloader
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Mine says locked - status 2 also and I have not done a thing to it either. Not sure if this should be a bit worrying or not.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Don't know mate but looking through the threads a few have been saying the same
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I wonder why the phone have had the bootloader locked from stock, unlocked and then relocked?

Means I can return mine though if that's the case on other cpw ordered phones. Anyone who haven't rooted and ordered from cpw, does yours say status code 2?

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

You ordered from cpw?
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Mines status code 3 mate I just keep mine unlocked

Bootloader on Nexus is always locked as default

Can't understand what's happening at all

Google seems to have altered quite a lot from kitkat to lollipop
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah wonder why the bootloader would be unlocked and relocked by default?

Need someone to confirm on unrooted phone that was stock from receiving it to verify that the status code says 2
[Nexus 6  General] EddyOS:
Might be because they've flashed the factory image before shipping. I'm sure the first N6's in the US weren't on the finished build
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
On previous Nexus phones there wasn't any of this

But apparently google was working with Samsung about using some features from knox to implement in Android
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
So you think all have had bootloader unlocked and relocked?
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Yup.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
And you've not rooted out anything? Just complete stock?
[Nexus 6  General] sufibravo:
Isn't it a good thing if the phones comes from the factory as "2". That way if we unlock and relock there's no way they can tell, it's not like it's a counter like on Samsung bootloaders.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Wouldn't have thought so but there was no way of knowing on previous Nexus
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Completely untouched. I intend on using SkyGo on it when it's released, so have not done anything to it. I have set it to allow app installations from untrusted sources so I could install the Bet365 app, but I can't imagine that has caused this.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Not really as they could argue the toss about you meddling with the phone
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Cool. Thanks for confirming but this does mess up ota updates then if the bootloader has been unlocked and relocked. No one will get the ota if status is 2. You'd have to flash the image directly.
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
Think I might contact CPW about this. I don't think its very good.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
You can try mate but I'll bet you they say you've been messing about with the phone
[Nexus 6  General] Drefsab:
Another option for me is https://insurance.americanexpress.co.uk/insure-my-possessions/my-essentials/ its more than what you paid but it covers all my goods and there is no excess :)
