No, no. You don't get to use top of the line specs, premium build quality, still cheaper than the note four and iphone 6 to justify the price then say it will sell better than the N5. To do what you claim it can do, it needs to sell similar to the Note 5 and Iphone 6 devices. If the business philosophy stayed the same as the N5 and N4, the phone would have been in the $450 range and only sold through google play (for the most part anyway), bet that would sell better than the current incarnation. Actually, I will take your bet as is since I don't think it will unless Google actually starts advertising just for this device. Of course we can't prove it one way or another since I don't believe the N5 numbers have ever been released.

Glad we agree you don't have the right to determine who has a right to be upset. Odd you stand by a comment where you made it look like you were the authority on who is allowed to be upset, but I digress

I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. Trust me, I know the prices as I have owned everyone except the S (still have my N1), but that doesn't change the fact that Google started with phones unlocked off contract with comparable to high end prices at the time, then shifted to unlocked phones off contract with lower prices, then decided to say F it, back to high prices but you can get it subsidized on contract at all the carriers. The push is now for contract phones with a higher price. This is a paradigm shift for the Nexus line.

Great for you, feel free to give them more weight. While you are giving them more weight, try not to put everyone else down.

Yeah you said it earlier, but it wasn't relevant then either.
[Nexus 6  General] mb3030:
are you a dev here? if so for what? i'd love to avoid everything you do and avoid letting any of my money find it's way to you. In the meantime, i'll get a ladder for you to help you down off that horse of yours.
[Nexus 6  General] Wbroshea:
Through all of that you still don't understand my point. In my opinion the price is high due to one of two things maybe a combination of both. Make more money per phone vs the N5 but more importantly to force people to go the subsidized carrier route. That is why I don't like the price in conjunction with being advertised on all carriers. Both reasons go against what the nexus line has always been against (carrier contracts) and more recently against (showing high quality phones can be sold for reasonable amounts without carrier contracts) among other thing of course.

Oh and I'm pretty sure it is you not really looking at the big picture, not me. It seems you are trying to justify your choice to purchase by making sure to tell everyone else that they are wrong and can't and shouldn't have any reason to be upset with the price.

One thing that hasn't changed over the years of the Nexus devices is that they were pushed off contract through google play. Want to argue that hasn't changed? Want to argue that that doesn't factor into the price?

Oh and just to ease your concern - Nexus products will NEVER be mainstream. At least not until they actually advertise on TV. Seen an exclusive Nexus 6 commercial yet? I haven't despite several G3, S5 and iPhone 6 commercials, even Note 4 commercials have started.
[Nexus 6  General] jjhiza:
I build a kernel and ROM, and release on Google+, but no worries... If you don't like my stance, I won't miss one user. I build for myself and my friends. And I never ask for donations... I build because I enjoy it, not because I'm trying to make money or a name for myself.

Yes, I HAVE seen Nexus 6 commercials, but that's neither here nor there. Once users see the device in stores, they'll have a choice to make, and it doesn't bother me if they choose one device over the other. Since the Nexus 4, every Nexus device has been available via carrier subsidy, so the change has been transparent. As for my purchase choice, I decided to get the Nexus 6 even it was announced. I don't need to justify my purchase to anyone.

Time will prove, but I'd venture to say that this Nexus will appeal to me people than you think, regardless of price.
[Nexus 6  General] blair287:
God some people on here think they are gods given gift mostly devs or people claiming to be devs.
[Nexus 6  General] jjhiza:
I'm (you mean me I assume) not allowed to be realistic and assertive with my opinions, without being denigrated? Ok, seems legit. Everything I've said has a basis in fact. It may be harsh and unpopular, but it's true.
[Nexus 6  General] Wbroshea:
What commercial was it? What channel was it on, what were you watching at the time, was it primetime?

Surely you recognize a difference between available via carrier subsidy vs. being sold mostly via carrier subsidy.

If you don't need to justify your choice, then there is really no need to come here and tell everyone that they have no "right" to their own opinion. I'm not sure what purpose informing individuals they have no "right" to think differently than you other than to attempt to justify your own decisions. Feel free to enlighten me on the intent behind that.

I am sure it will appeal to some people. I personally doubt it is the giant success you think it will be mostly because of timing but that is a different issue. Even if every person in the world buys it, that still doesn't mean I have to like or agree with the price and what it represents (that's really my issue, which I don't think you have actually figured out yet).

Next time it would be great if you would start with developers opinion are more important than normal users and I fancy myself a developer. That at least would let us all know that you already think your opinion is more important than everyone else's and I wont have to waste my time defending my "right" to have my own opinion.
[Nexus 6  General] jjhiza:
Yep, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but in the car of some that I've read here, they are in fact wrong. I've tried to present my case in a logical, reasonable, and factual manner, and have been met by belligerence.

My development experience is really just for fun. I don't release here for several reasons, but partially because I'm just not good enough to keep up with a hectic thread. So no, I don't "fancy myself a developer", otherwise I would have registered for the RD title long ago. I have however, worked very closely with half a dozen or more recognized developers here, helped them with their projects, learned along the way, and gotten to know how they view things. So yes, I feel fairly comfortable when I say that most devs don't care about the (occasionally) ridiculous demands of their user base. Point and case - go to the Franco thread and ask when he's going to support CAF. The answer is never. He doesn't care that CM users want to use his kernel... He builds for AOSP, and that's it.

As for the commercial, I saw it on Fox Sports 1 the other day, and it was basically the same promo you will find on YouTube. I have Cablevision, and live in South Orange, NJ if that helps clarify things.

Anyway, this pissing contest is getting neither of us anywhere, so how about we let this go. I'll enjoy my Nexus 6, you enjoy your Nexus 5 (which is still fantastic imo), and everyone's happy.
[Nexus 6  General] Wbroshea:
That's the tricky part of opinions. They can't be "in fact" wrong. You can disagree with them, but you can't prove or disprove an opinion, and no one needs another persons permission to have one. Your first post in this thread doesn't come across all that logical, reasonable, and factual when you attempt to determine who has a right to have a negative opinion on any aspect of the product in the first place.

Sure, I will let it go, but I never said I wasn't going to get one. Just because I don't like one aspect of the phone doesn't mean I rule it out completely. Nothing in this life is perfect and that even includes android phones believe it or not. :highfive:
[Nexus 6  General] androidtoy09:
Wouldn't that be considered price fixing?! and it is illegal!
[Nexus 6  General] jjhiza:
Of course opinions can be wrong man... A certain German fellow was of the opinion that another segment of people needed to be eradicated. He was wrong. South Koreans are of the opinion that Kim Jong Ill was some kind of divine personage. They're wrong. Some people in this country believe that things like drinking and driving, and spousal abuse are ok. They're wrong. iPhone enthusiasts are of the opinion that their favorite company is the most innovative in the history of tech. They're wrong. The people that are of the opinion that this Nexus offers very little value... They're wrong too.

Of course those are extreme examples, but yes, an opinion can be wrong when it has no basis in fact. Aside from my rant against people who are too lazy to approach rooting and flashing the right way, I've provided pretty solid opinion and information, based on the laws of finance, economics, and marketing. I've even provided a useful and objective price chart, to combat the prevailing opinion that this Nexus is too pricy, compared to the rest of the line.

Look, I'm not trying to tell everyone how to feel, and I'm not against opposing points of view. I'm simply trying to provide rationale for Google's move with the Nexus 6. I work in finance and supply chain, so I'm fairly knowledgeable about the driving forces behind business decisions. Those decisions (and the facts related to them) aren't always consumer friendly... that's a harsh reality, but it is reality nonetheless.

Google saw an opportunity to enter the phablet market, which up until now, has been owned by Samsung. Apple did the same with the 6+. In order to compete, Google has to apply the law of perceived value, and price the device accordingly. That's what they're doing, and I can't knock them for it. They've built a device that's just as good as the competition, at a price point lower than the competition, and they have an opportunity to expand the Nexus and Android brands at the same time. What's wrong with that?

Again, the price may not be popular, but I'm trying to lend a machete to the overreactionary thicket here. If you take a moment to look at this objectively, you'll see that Google is giving us more phone (size and specs) than they did with the evenly priced Galaxy Nexus, AND a better operating system. That makes the Nexus 6 a bit of a bargain, all things considered. The size may be a turnoff, and I get that, but I'm trying to help everyone understand that there's more value here than most people see at first glance.

[Nexus 6  General] androidtoy09:
T-mobile E.I.P and if you're Jump! subscriber, you can trade-in your current device for the N6. Basically, it is like you're buying a car with financing or trade-in your old one with financing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mini9:
Hi,

I have an official firmware 4.3 Galaxy S3 UK Variant with no modifications. For about the past week the phone has decided to drop the connection to my Wi-Fi network if I got more than 3 steps away from the router. My router doesn't seem to be the problem since I have no such problems with any other devices like my laptop and the Galaxy Tab. Seems a strange problem since I have no idea why it has surfaced.

Any help will be helpful.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Reset router, factory reset phone, reflash latest firmware in that order.

After that it's hardware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mini9:
Thanks for the reply. Done a factory reset which may or may not have fixed the problem, will have to run with it for a while to see the effect. Did have a look around this forum and others for a solution but couldn't find anything apart from disabling wi-fi power save.

After fiddling with and dismissing the built in media player on my htc wizard (mda-tmobile) I ended up with TCPMP and converting my large videos using Pocket DIVX Encoder.

I was wondering if anyone has had any success or what are some tips or tweaks that can be used with the program.

There is the BBC series Torchwood on torrentspy:

I have a suspicion that the Note 4 will be easier to use, Samsung invented this market sector and has got very good at producing usable devices for it.

Stock Android > TouchWiz

That was easy

Although to be fair, the Note 4 probably has a much better camera. But TouchWiz.. I'll stick with the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] pball52998:
Agreed ^^ if the note 4 on Verizon had an unlocked boot loader and I could load up Liquid Smooth, AICP or some type of AOSP, I'd take it. No ifs ands or buts.

As said, the Note 4 will perform better as a phablet.
[Nexus 6  General] pham818:
i dont mind the new touchwiz, so note 4 for me.
[Nexus 6  General] JJ2525:
Even as a big proponent of the stock Android experience and a lover of the biggest screen possible, I'm heavily leaning toward the Note 4. The Nexus 6 is pretty much the same size as my bulky as hell Huawei Ascend Mate 2 (while also stupefyingly being thicker). It's too big. I can deal with all the other Nexus tradeoffs (no microSD slot, no removable battery) but there was no reason that I can surmise to have made a device this big, heavy and thick.
[Nexus 6  General] cwalker0906:
I have a note 3 and a year later the aosp roms are still buggy....any feature the note 4 has that i use the nexus has....had last 2 notes and never use spen...nexus this big is dream come true....hate the ugly look of tw and from what i read samsung made it even harder to theme
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
As a Note 2 user, I'll be glad to move away from Touchwiz. I have enjoyed my Note 2 but it never did run perfectly on any AOSP or CM rom and I'm really tired of the lag of Touchwiz, though it does okay with a different launcher.

To be fair I never really found the S-Pen useful, and that knocks out one of Note 4's primary advantages for me.
[Nexus 6  General] ekerbuddyeker:
I can't wait for the nexus 6. I have had all the notes, and I like them, but the difference between the 3 and the 4 is marginal for me as i don't really use the s pen or Samsung features that much. I love a big screen and I fancy a change... Especially an unlocked one for basically $200-300 less with fundamentally the same hardware (oh, and stereo speakers).
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
I also tend to think much of the negativity today has been driven by the surprise price bump. I suspect a lot of negativity will quietly dissolve as the release grows near.
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
note 4 for me too..if only the nexus would have been made with a aluminum frame, sd slot, removable battery and that thing is as thick as the g3..actually it is thicker
[Nexus 6  General] journeyman73:
TouchWiz looks ugly and dated. A refresh has been long over due. Why can't Samsung be more like Motorola & add features to a stock ROM to differentiate it self from it's competitors?
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
flash an aosp rom and call it a day
[Nexus 6  General] journeyman73:
Yeah no

What's the point of getting a Note 4 Only to lose it's features once an AOSP ROM is flash?

Nexus 6 it is than
[Nexus 6  General] JJ2525:
To have a Nexus-like device with a removable battery, microSD slot, while being significantly smaller, thinner and lighter?
[Nexus 6  General] ggreenwood334:
I don't mind the price. I'm more concerned about the size. I have an HTC One m8 now and its awkward 1 had sometimes. I am the guy that has a ballistics case with the belt clip. So fitting in pocket is OK. Multi screen in stock would be a nice feature. But it's a nexus. So it will come aftermarket. I have never doubted going nexus. I'm thinking about keeping my m8. Someone conceive me to trade up.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
AOSP has never worked flawlessly on my Note 2. I have no reason to believe it will work better on Note 4.
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
exactly...the only thing good about the nexus 6 is the front speakers....other than that...the note 4 sweeps the floor with it

As far as smartphones go, I've only owned iphones and then the nexus 4 when I switched to Android, and now the nexus 5. As such, I have zero experiences with software updates that don't come directly to my phone from google or apple.

If I buy this phone (the t-mobile version) and have it carrier-unlocked, am I dependent on t-mobile for android updates? And what if I buy it directly from Samsung in a factory-unlocked model? Who does the disseminating of my android updates in that case?

Dear fellow developers,

I wonder how log will it take before we will unite and take some serious action against Google Play practices. Maybe you heard about banned apps and blocked accounts. I got my app blocked today and believe me that it is VERY frustrating experience.

I can write what is wrong with Google Play developer support, but others already done that better: androidofvirtue. com/dear-google-play-we-need-to-talk-about-a-few-things/

Long story short, I feel that Google is abusing its dominant position on the market by providing little to no service to developers. Developers has no other option for app publishing as manufacturers are pre-installing its market to almost every device. Users have no option as they do not have any good alternative available.

Google must listen to us, we are helping them to get money and they are treating us like criminals without any explanations, without possibility to defend ourselves and without possibility to use other and maybe more reasonable app market.

As I am from the EU I wrote an appeal to European Commission to investigate the Google market position regarding the competition advantage abuse. I really hate do do it but currently I feel that I ran out of options and I hate more to feel so powerless against Google ignorance and stupidity of its app removal policies.

If you would like to help then write an appeal too. Contact is cnect-desk@ec.europa.eu

They must hear us!
[General Topics] stricker49:
what app did you make and whats the reason they removed it
[General Topics] shaman79:
The app was intended for automatic connection to open hotspots and wifi password sharing. It was possible to enter password for some wifi when you connected to it and it was then shared with other users. This function was explicitly named in the name of the app, description and under the password box directly in application, therefore every user was sharing the password by his will and he was well informed what he's doing. It was intended for sharing of passwords for various public places, cafés etc.

The funny thing is, that the app got approved on Amazon which is also very strict, but obviously employs sane people.

The reason for banning is here:

I think that they think that I was phishing the passwords or something like that. Or maybe it is not ok to connect to open wifi automatically. Or maybe they think that if somebody share password for some hotspot then other people are not authorized to use it, however I feel that if I share password then I am giving implicit authorization to other users.

Thats the worst part -I simply don't know what is wrong. Can I fix it by adding some policy agreement? Should I ask user for some explicit permission to share the password and authorization for other users to use it? Isn't it a bit crazy?

The whole thing is not about me or my app. I just spend like month of evenings to build it and catch all the bugs, I made worse investments. What I really don't like is the Google attitude. They are keeping their developers in uncertainty, they are threatening them and they are behaving like the worst essence of corporations. We just need alternative store to become strong enough otherwise Google will not listen to us.

I flashed NE2 yesterday, and went through the process on my phone to enable encryption, but when I pushed the button that would presumably begin the encryption, it flashed up a picture of the android briefly, then shut off, and about 30 seconds later rebooted.. without doing anything (that I can tell). I'm using the nearly stock ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2768847).
