Guys if you are not receiving the updates to 5.1 do one thing remove SIM and factory reset.

On initial boot you will receive the update notification. Update your phone without your Sim card.

For some reason auto update was not going thru on my Vodafone network.

To confirm this I started downloading the update and just before reboot and install option I inserted the Voda Sim back in the slot.

Straightaway my phone said its up to date and no update available. Repeated attempts of checking update no luck.

Next day again I removed Sim reset and got the update notification, started downloading update again inserted the Sim during download. After download I pressed restart and update button. My phone didn't restart again and said my phone is already up to date.

Third time removed Sim reset device after initial setup got update notification, downloaded full update and did NOT insert Voda Sim this time. Update went thru successfully.

By this experience I think the update is not going thru on our device with Voda Sim.

Not sure about the exact reason but this is my experience.

BTW I got the global D version on auto update.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Thanks for this update.

I had checked the E version ROM yesterday. It has an app in Settings --> Accounts -->Add An Account --> "Backup Assistant Plus" which is a confirmed VZ specific application. http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/products/backup-assistantplus.html

Not sure why Google doesn't mark the E ROM as VZ specific so customers can download the correct version.

Will download the D ROM soon and flash it after a few days.
[Nexus 6  General] immiMIK:
Check the attached image. I also got "Backup" in new account and I received D variant update.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Hmm, now I am really not sure what the two ROM versions are for. :) Google hasn't bothered to clarify.

Can anyone with D variant 5.1 confirm the above. If the Backup app is present in Account>New account setting.

Thx

EDIT: K from the reddit link above this Verizon bloatware is present in all variants irrespective of carriers used. WTF Google

5.1.0 (LMY47I) ROM image available for download at the Google Dev site. Help yourselves if you are keen on getting the latest & greatest ROM. :)

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamulmy47i

This one was for Australia per reports on the 'net. But this site says:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...0_r3-lmy47i-mostly-small-fixes-for-sim-cards/

My phone keeps losing the AP setting for some reason. May be this one fixes it. Will wait for the OTA.

PS - http://www.androidauthority.com/android-5-1-0_r3-factory-images_nexus-5_6-596755/
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Get your OTA updates from here and side load them:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...gs-android-5-1-ota-roundup-for-nexus-devices/
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Not waiting for the OTA so I flashed the 5.1.0 (LMY47I) ROM. The flash all batch file just doesn't run as it does not find the .sig files. Flashing has to be done manually.
[Nexus 6  General] rohitsingh05:
Flash firmware without losing data

If you have an unlocked bootloader, use instructions from here to manually install latest firmware without userdata loss. You can download the latest firmware from the google servers. If you want to retain root, make sure to flash root once updated.

I used the same process to move from firmware version E to I. No data loss, just had to root device again and re-grant root permissions.

The idea is not to flash userdata.img. Also if you have custom kernel/recovery, you can skip flashing the relevant img files.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Got my replacement.

Well, I got my new n6 yesterday. The old one had a horrible uneven tint. This one is near perfect. there is a vertical band on the left side but it isnt noticable and does not hinder my usage. This screen is atleast 100% better than the last one if not flawless. Flashed and loaded!
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Glad to hear this. Hope this one remains fault free just as my handset has.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Approx. 1.5 days after flashing the LMY47I ROM, I notice a distinct improvement in battery life. It's now near the battery life of my Note 4. This is with light to moderate use over the weekend. I'll need to see what happens during weekdays when usage will creep upwards..
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
R u rooted or just flashed latest factory image
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
No rooting yet, just flashed the stock image. May not root till Google stops rapid updates ie stable builds coz next time I'd like to get an OTA update. Rooting will prevent OTA downloads.
[Nexus 6  General] ananjay:
After updating to 5.1, mine slowed down a bit instead performance should have increased. Factory reset shouldn't be bad.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Which application slowed down? For me there's been no change in responsiveness after 5.1. But the irritating random AP de-selection in network settings hasn't gone. I get network error message from some apps

Screen Guard Tempered glass

Hey guys,

What screen guards are you using for your nexus 6? I really wanted a tempered glass screen protector but I haven't found any with good reviews. Please help.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
I bought the Nillkin tempered glass screen protector. Works well on both my phones.

Of course, YMMV
[Nexus 6  General] mihirrai:
From where did you order? Flipkart/ Amazon?
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
Ordered from eBay India
[Nexus 6  General] immiMIK:
Howz your experience with tempered glass screen protectors. Any loss in sensitivity?

From the Nillkin pics it seems it is covering the front facing camera.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
No, I havent faced a loss in sensitivity. No issues with the camera either. It's a low res camera so these protectors dont affect it
[Nexus 6  General] :
Can anyone send me a pic of their nexus ?

Hey, Can anyone send me a pic of your nexus? use a dark grey background (greys like we had in jellybean) brightness set to 50%. I am having issues with my replacement. Any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
What issue(s) are u facing with the display? Upload a screen shot here and i'll tell you right away if I have the same problem.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Pink bands on grey color

Here, This is supposed to be a grey background I can clearly see a band vertical and horizontal on the screen. The image quality is not good but it shows the issue, so...
[Nexus 6  General] immiMIK:
No such issue on my Nexus 6 Jan batch bought this month. Get a replacement from flipkart.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] :
This is the replacement!! The first one was even worse than this, it had a gradient across the screen. I have placed a request for replacement again, Getting **** tired of rooting and unrooting, setting the phone again and again, I have wasted so much time on it. I am not even sure if the next replacement (If they approve) will be good enough.
[Nexus 6  General] immiMIK:
Don't worry about replacing, I had to replace my moto x 2nd gen 3 times because of the quality issue with the black leather back. After third replacement they refunded my money in full after just 2hours of picking up the phone from my house. I finally bought 32gb Royal blue moto x2 which was excellent.

I was afraid about buying Nexus 6 after reading many post like yours about the screen issue. But got lucky this time in first attempt, everything is perfect. BTW mine in Cloud white 32gb version

Next time when you get the replacement check the screen first with screen test app from play store, before customizing further. If problem just return it.

[Nexus 6  General] :
Mine is midnight blue, I am really glad that there are better displays out there. IDK why I am getting the ones with bad displays, well.. maybe just bad luck. They are going to call tomorrow. So hoping that the replacement will be done by monday. If this replacement is a bad one too then I will be asking for a refund. lets see...
[Nexus 6  General] immiMIK:
You got this replacement phone just recently or you have been using it for sometime?

Just to confirm if this issue happened later or you never checked your screen before customizing and rooting.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
This is pretty sad. Yes, the band is quite visible. I dont have a wallpaper with a similar grey background., So I chose a grey background wallpaper from the Domo icon config utility and turned up the brightness to full. No banding at all except for the gradual vertical difference in shade that's in the wallpaper itself.

Guess you need to return the handset. Ask them for a refund this time. Seriously and buy your handset from the GPS. Their batches should be different.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I confirmed it as soon as I booted the device for the first time, but I was happy that the issue was not as significant as my first nexus had. But then as soon as I began customizing the phone I could clearly see it on grays (Google camera) and on lockscreen where the wallpaper is dim. I was happy that it is better than the first one so I did not think of replacing with the fear that the replacement might be worse than this as I read some Note 3 threads saying that people had to go through 5-6 handsets and all of them had the same issue. Well, I cannot settle down for this, I need good screen and once you notice that there's a flaw it bugs you. Plus the replacement process is time consuming, being an engineering student I have my exams coming around and I did not want to waste more time.
[Nexus 6  General] immiMIK:
Yes get your phone replaced. Consumers should get what he has paid for without any defects.

Next time use this app to check https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yota.screentest

[Nexus 6  General] :
Yes, I am regretting buying it from flipkart. Well, tbh it is not their fault, it is just a bad shipment and some mediocre quality checks from samsung. Rolling the dice for one last time, although I have no more hopes of seeing a nexus with a flawless display.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

Yep, I do have a similar app that I used earlier. Well, the money I used for buying this phone was my first payment I earned. It just sucks to see such bad quality amoleds.
[Nexus 6  General] immiMIK:
I hope you get flawless device this time. Good luck

After factory resetting I've been noticing few glitches. Like one-two seconds black out when clearing out recents or when I press back while using whatsapp. Even dark material keyboard isn't flawless.
[Nexus 6  General] GopalSingh:
I have got LMY47I after the OTA 5.1. The problem that I am facing is that the screen often goes blank as soon as I dial any number and only comes back on after the call has ended :(. Any thoughts ....

[Nexus 6  General] Mayank97:
Hey Guys,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am getting a new phone for my 18th birthday, in April. I feel like the nexus 6 is the best choice right now, but the HTC One M9 is also a very strong contender. I like playing games, so I need a phone that can handle those. Also, I'm gong to be using it for at least the next three years. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions, besides these two would also be welcome.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
Nexus 6 is for stock android lovers. If u love stock android then there is two choices nexus 6 or the moto turbo. Both are identical devices but the nexus 6 has bigger display, the moto turbo boasts a bigger battery. Stock android is faster than any other custom manufacturer skin. If stock android is not what u love then there is a wide variety of options. Samsung has done some pretty good work wid S6 and the S6 edge and even the note edge and note 4. Htc M9 has disappointed quite a lot of people. Htc M9+ is gonna release soon, it would be better than m9. The Lg G4 is also to look out for.
[Nexus 6  General] Mayank97:
I have only ever used stock android on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I was hoping to try CM, but that's okay. Also, if I wanted to buy Nexus 6, is Flipkart the only option? A friend told me that it can only be bought through Flipkart, but I'm not sure.
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
Yep Flipkart is the only place to buy a nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] Mayank97:
Ok, that's a little weird, isn't it?

I looked up the Moto Turbo, and it is certainly a front runner, but my biggest problem is that I won't be getting a new phone for three years. I know that in three years, these phones wouldn't be supported a lot. So, keeping that is mind, which one would you recommend, and why?
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
The moto turbo may have a bigger battery and bigger camera but it lacks ois. So the nexus 6 camera is better but the battery life is less compared to moto turbo. The nexus is the forst to receive future software updates. Google provides uodates for 2 yrs. Moto has no kind of assurance as far as software updates are concerned. The development in the nexus 6 is also quite good.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

As far as i am concerned the nexus 6 is best so far being future proof for atleast 2 yrs.
[Nexus 6  General] Mayank97:
Ok. Thanks a lot.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I got a n6 on 17th.. I replaced it because of screen issues... The screen is not uniform.. It has an uneven pink tint... So I replaced it.. This one that I am using has the same issue.. From the left side of the display .. Then there are back panel issues where the panel comes off as it is just glued on to the phone.. Many users were reporting that issue... I am going to the service center tomorrow.. To get a confirmation that this has a display issue.. You can look at my previous post in this thread where I have attached a pic with thw display fault... I'll be asking for a refund from flipkart.. N6 is a good phone.. But not a perfect one. It is very expensive and the quality that you get is no where near that money... Go for a s6 which will eventually have enough rom support.. Or maybe the htc m9.... Personally I like this phone alot but the uneven display and colors are driving me crazy and every time the phone is on charging or heated up due to use.. I am afraid the back panel may come off... I am not saying that don't buy it.. Or trying to give a bad review.. This is my experience with the n6.. It's nowhere near perfection.. It's not like I'm new to amoleds.. I owned a s3 previously . it did not have any such uneven issues.... And this display is amoled... Not super amoled... And trust me.. Super amoleds are way way better than the screen on the n6... I am not trying to scare you.. You say you want to use the phone for 3 years like me... And paying such huge money only to get this is really disappointing.... If I were you I'd go for the s6 or the m9.... Oneplus one is a good option too.. Although its a year old...
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
You can buy the phone either at Flipkart or at the Google Play Store (India) .
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
Try switching off adaptive display and see whether the pink tint exists. The issue may be resolved.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Dude its not like I dont know that already, I have tried every possible combination of brightness settings, look my previous posts in this thread or just see the attachment. It is a faulty display. you can clearly see a band on the left side of the display (the lower half). Every amoled suffers from some or the other issue.

Any of you were at Bangalore Comic-Con? I saw some nexus 6s there
[Nexus 6  General] ananjay:
Anyone facing issues with 5.1?

Because I don't get the same battery life. I would get near about 5 hours and now I barely get 4 and half hours. Clearing out apps from recents and launching few apps are quite laggy.
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
I am very happy with 5.1! In fact battery life improved noticeably after upgrading from LMY47E to LMY47I.

Each charge lasts me about 1.5 days with moderate use. I don't play any games on the phone but use it mainly for voice and data apps.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Guys anyone got a replacement for back cover coming off and battery issues
[Nexus 6  General] :
Where did you buy it from and where do you live?
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Flikart live in pune
[Nexus 6  General] :
what did the flipkart guys say? did you contact them? My replacement unit had screen issues, so I contacted them, they told me to go to a service center to get a verification certificate about the defect, I went to the center, called a flipkart guy from there and everything was sorted. I got a call next day and I asked for a refund. Go to the service center and get a job sheet, they cant say no to you for a replacement.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Flipkart does these within 30 days mine was more than that days old
[Nexus 6  General] :
Oh that is sad. Visit a service center they'll get it fixed.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
Well I have given it to service center already they said they will get battery replaced but today they said they are they jg to get the whole set replaced

.. So I am hoping they get their approval to get a new phone all together

So I wanted to know if anyone faced similar issues with battery and got replaced from service center
[Nexus 6  General] :
There are no parts available for the n6 in india for servicing, so most probably they will give you a new one.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
That's good news then...it's will be best if they give replacement

Its been 3 months.. My phone gets restarted once or twice daily? Is that a battery issue? Can i get a replacement now? btw I'm rooted..
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
Its the memory leak bug. Restart ur phone once every day. The restart issue will no longer exist.
[Nexus 6  General] anuragvivek93:
so every morning i have to restart the phone once? Any other tweaks? for that

EDIT : as far as i know 5.1 fixed the memory leak bug??
[Nexus 6  General] Sharp-Razr:
I've used my N6 for 2-3 days without rebooting. It's rock stable, no random restarts at all. And I have about 1.5 GB of RAM free at most times. I know free RAM will depend on the user to user, but it's just an indication.

I am happy with LMY47I. No issues so far since upgrading.
[Nexus 6  General] sandeeppathak007:
I m currently using oneplus one thinking to change the phone

Looking for a stake phone with good battery n camera

Please suggest about nexus 6 the other options I m thinking of arts moto turbo n note4

Kindly advise, I pan to use the phone for one year minimum from date of purchase
[Nexus 6  General] :
Stick to the oneplus one. I gave up on the n6 after display issues. The back cover coming off is another prominent issue. I replaced almost 2 n6's in 20 days. I have returned it. Moto droid is a good phone, although I read that it has uneven screen tint just like the n6 on verizon forums. Note 4 is an awesome option, there are'nt many custom roms yet, but there will be soon. I am getting the Galaxy s6 , it will have its custom rom support in coming months. Plus it is cheaper than the note 4.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
No phone is perfect ...anyone wants best stock experience should stick to nexus ... S6 with their crappy processor will not see any good custom Roms any time soon

Note 4 same situation .... I have used both and still prefers nexus bcoz of Roms and stock Samsung touchwiz is just crap .... They made lollipop look like 5 year old OS
[Nexus 6  General] sandeeppathak007:
Thanks for your feedback, how much u paying for S6 ? I see note 4 being available on flipkart for 50K

---------- Post added at 03:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 AM ----------

What you think of Droid Turbo ?
[Nexus 6  General] :
Ohh ohh..... I used the s3 for almost 2 years, pure stock vanilla android. Got almost every single rom update everytime a new version came. NO bugs or anything, same as a nexus. And anyone will approve that the s series have the best top notch cameras. I do hate touchwiz, but I dont have to use it. As far as the processor is concerned, its even better than the snapdragon 810. 14 NM !!!! that is something remarkable and couple that with 3 gb lpddr4 ram, its just a beast. I desperately wanted to use the nexus 6 and I did try alot to get a good one. screen issues, back panel glue.... it is not a good design to go with. The difference between amoled and super amoled is vast. I repeat VAST. No tints at low brightness, no uneven colors, no banding. There are a lot of reasons I thought before making this decision.

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

I am getting it for 49900 from a local store, I prebooked just a day before the release, so I can avail the one time free screen replacement, cashback and 10000 payback points.
[Nexus 6  General] saj2001ind:
well samsung's own exynos chip is said to be a problem when it comes to custom roms....yes their hardware and camera is good...but like I stressed who wants bug free stock experience in a bigger screen package....nothing comes close to nexus for now

and to be honest after using note 4 and nexus 6....we kinda get used to bigger screen and going back to 5 incher is a no go for many of us

my nexus 6 also had battery problems and its getting replaced by motorola now after 3 months of use and i was using my note 4 in between,...with CM and now stock lollipop....I have to say I want to go back to nexus now...its screen size, front firing speakers and the beautiful stock experience just blows everything away specilaly for stock android lovers

so its personal choice really...ppl buy nexus for being able to get 1st updates and that smooth stock experience so decision should not be too hard for ppl who are here

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

droid turbo is good but the only attraction to buy a motorola phone is nexus....no other fancies much as their build quality is not at par with samsung and htc

also its screen size is smaller...if u need a bigger screen package...note 4 or nexus 6 is a way to go..and yeah note 4 has better build quality and camera and screen....but their stock software is just bad....now there are CM12 and CM12.1 roms for note 4 but its not much and I didnt find it much stable enough and u loose all the s pen which is why we buy note

its confusing but to make it simpler decice in screen size and if u r fine with skinned android then go with galaxy s6 its beautiful looking handset from samsung
[Nexus 6  General] :
I did not have any problems with the exynos on my s3, I got the best rom support and it was fluent. Yes the screen size will be an issue, downscaling down to a 5.1 from a 6 inch screen is a big difference! but I would rather use a bug free 5.1 inch screen than a 6 inch uneven flawed screen with uneven whites and grays. The only problem I ever had with exynos was with viper4android. Plus you get so many kernel governors pegasusq, yank, zzmove and so many.
