[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Not only is the screen brighter, it has one of if not the best looking screens on a smartphone to date. I would take the lower res screen on my iPhone 6 over the 1080p screens on my N5 and my Moto X any day of the week. It's colors are ridiculously vibrant and accurate, contrast and black levels are insane, and viewing angles are the best in the business. I'm sure the N6 will have a great display, but I doubt it will be as nice as the iPhone's.

The camera is also widely regarded as one of the best smartphone cameras ever. Neither the Nexus line or Motorola in general are known for good cameras so I don't have much faith in the N6's shooter.

What about the single most important thing when it comes to smartphones?- The app selection for iOS is still unrivaled. Aside from the fact that the App Store has more apps than Play, the ones that they both have are generally more polished for iOS. And games, don't even get me started. Android can't hold a candle to iOS when it comes to games.

What's crappy about iOS?
[Nexus 6  General] x111:
Everything.

Also, hardware on iphone is not as good as on competitors phones.

oh, furthermore, iphone has stupid non-standard micro usb.
[Nexus 6  General] jrodsep:
I have a GPE M8 and I was on the fence about getting an iphone plus or another android but after seeing the N6 and Android L I was hooked once again. I don't think that I'll be going back to iPhone in a while. Third year in a row that I have decided to stick with Android after seeing was Apple was "offering" for that year. This year was a close call due to the 5.5" screen but the N6 prevailed.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
is the iphone6 Jailbroken yet?
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Care to elaborate?

How is the hardware not as good? Build quality is best in the business, the screen is unparalleled, and while you may not think its specs are as good as everyone else's, benchmarks and real world use beg to differ. Side by side, my iPhone 6 is every bit as fast, if not faster than both my Nexus 5 and my 2014 Moto X. Not to mention it has better battery life. The whole spec argument is so old and meaningless when Apple has proven time and time again that they can make a phone that outperforms everything else with only a dual core chip and 1gb of RAM. User experience is what matters, not specs.

And the lightning cable? It's a lot more convenient than micro USB. But that's a matter of opinion.

So again I ask you, what is crappy about iOS? Do you even have an answer or are you just keen to jump on the "iOS sucks herp derp" bandwagon that so many Android fanboys love to be on, without having a real opinion of your own?

Not trying to pick on you, but if you're gonna make a blanket claim like you did, you really should back it up.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Not sure. I haven't really felt the need to jailbreak my iPhone since the 4s.
[Nexus 6  General] wendellc:
Screen customization is a big thing for me....I use multiple widgets on nexus 5...the fact that I dont have to open an app up to get the info I need is great..for example I use a stock screener and its on my 2nd homescreen, I just slide over and scroll thru.
[Nexus 6  General] x111:
cable connector must be standardized !

why ios is suck - agreed with every point.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
So in other words, you're just another sheep in the flock of android fanboys who have no rational reasons for disliking iOS. You should have just said that from the beginning.
[Nexus 6  General] oneplus:
Rational reasons? Apps keep fc, but people do not notice it just because there is no pop up message saying app fc like in android. Another rational reason is super low ram storage. Come back tomorrow will give you some more rational reasons.

Sent from my One A0001
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
At no point did I say there are no rational reasons to dislike iOS. There are PLENTY, and people have pointed out some very valid ones in this thread. But there are also a ton of fanboys who swoop in and make idiotic comments like "iOS sucks!" but offer no reasons why, and can't give any even if you call them out on it. There's people like that in both camps, and I think it's pathetic.

To address your reasons- I agree, apps do crash a lot more on iOS than on Android. After a year, I can count on one hand how many force closes I've had on my N5, but I get an app crash at least every other day on my iPhone. Though it seems to be a lot better on my 6 than it was on my 5s. And more RAM would be nice, I can't stand how my browser tabs reload all the time. But that's really my only issue with the lack of RAM. It doesn't seem to hinder the iPhone in any other area.
[Nexus 6  General] tyvar1:
Nexus 6 because iOS is way to locked for me, even with jailbreak! Also I think the iTunes idea is not good! You need to sync everything! I like they way android works. Like a USB. You just put it in and copy over the files and then you are done!
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah man, I absolutely can't friggin' stand iTunes. It is hands down the worst part about the iPhone. I hate how Apple insists on holding your hand through everything.
[Nexus 6  General] alex989898:
I agree with you but I think it's just a way for Apple to showcase its store.
[Nexus 6  General] BkkMark:
I honestly think that the fingerprint sensor is the feature that I'd like most on Android phones. I'm using a Nexus 5 and I love it, honestly, but a fingerprint sensor on it would be killer.

Lollipop will fix a few of my major gripes such as needing to use the power button to turn on the phone because double to wake will be enabled, and I love the polish of Lollipop in general, but the one hardware feature that Android phones are still missing is a fingerprint sensor that is secure and as convenient and reliable as the iPhone's.

I don't really take lots of pictures or videos so camera quality is not an issue, even though the iPhone's is one of the best. It's just the fingerprint sensor that would be huge in terms of usability. The S5 version sucks. The iPhone's is ridiculously easy to use and it works all the time, that's why it's great.
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
Don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but the fingerprint technology on the iPhone is now owned exclusively by Apple. They purchased the company and their patents thus preventing any other company from creating a fingerprint scanner that doesn't require a swipe.

Since we are all well aware of Apple's litigation policies, I am fairly confident to say that no company besides Apple will be utilizing a fingerprint scanner similar in practice to Touch ID.
[Nexus 6  General] BkkMark:
They purchased Authentec, yes, but there are many other companies working on biometric security for mobile appliances. Authentec was not the first company to do it but they were probably one of the best.

The only way I see this becoming widespread in the Android world is if one vendor licenses out their technology to Android OEMs, much in the same way that Gorilla Glass sells their displays to everyone. Only if that occurs will fingerprint technology become ubiquitous. I think we're a few years away but it'll happen, but I don't see one OEM doing their own implementation which will be successful enough. Samsung's effort sucked.

It might end up being one of the Chinese companies that doesn't care about patents that does it then licenses their technology out to OEMs, who would not be liable for implementing it in their products.
[Nexus 6  General] inaya45:
iPhone 6. Said it before, would say it again, iOS is properly optimized for the iPhone vs Android which is not, therefore the specs required for it to run are on paper less. Despite that it still outperforms the competition in most, if not all aspects
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
My choice is Nexus 6, for

better user experience

.

With Android, it is much easier and better user experience to manage media files.

I can simply create a folder on my phone, put the media files there and use whatever media player app to play them.

I do NOT need intermediate PC application like iTunes, which is annoying, and waste of time.

Same with photos, managing photos with Android is really easy and convenient. I can create folders and organize my photos freely. No need to sync using iTunes. And I can use whatever photo viewer app that suit my needs.

Downloading files from the web is also easy as you don't need special app for that. Saving the files on your phone memory accessible by other apps without restriction.

Creating shortcuts for files, put it in a folder in the home screen for easy access.

Widget for direct information available and accessible from the home screen, that's priceless!

Multi-user experience! I can easily and safely share my phone and tablet with my kids, creating a specific environment for them to play games and watched movies or listening to music without giving them access to unnecessary apps.

You see, those kind of experience that makes me choosing Android, and in this case Nexus 6.

iPhone 6+ won't be able to match that.

Yeah, iPhone 6+ might perform faster on "benchmark", but what's the use of that??? for bragging rights? Pfffttt :P

Recently, I learned that on iOS7/8, you cannot decline a phone call except double-pressing the power button. This applies only when the phone is locked, which usually is most of the time you got a call when the phone is on your pocket.

Seriously??? There is no decline button showed on the screen???? I am glad on Nexus 6, we have double tab on the screen to wake the phone .... and big red decline button option when we receive a phone call. Saving the power button!
[Nexus 6  General] shook187:
Not sure who told you that but it absolutely does have a reject button.

People who hasn't try iOS should actually give it a try before posting he say she say stuff.
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
I forgot to mention: It does not have a reject button when the phone is LOCKED!

Try that ...

[Nexus 6  General] Black_Tiger:
Yes !!! The fingerprint scanner is THE only thing missing from the Nexus 6 for me too...

Actually even if Apple was the first with this type of fingerprint scanner, it's not the only one and not the best anymore, Huawei Ascend Mate7's is !

Here are quotes from gsmarena review:

- " Around back is where things get interesting. The decidedly HTC One Max-inspired design is complete with fingerprint identification - but while the layout may have been copied, the sensor itself is quite innovative. The fingerprint sensor offers 8-bit grey level detection, 360-degree readability, and can even be used with a wet finger - a big no-no with other sensors. It only requires a tap with a finger to activate, rather than the tedious drag-your-finger-over-the-sensor routine on Samsung devices. "

- " Fingerprint unlock is available as well. It works way better than any other device we've seen so far. You can position your finger however you like on the sensor, even without waking up the screen and it will unlock immediately. It is faster than Apple's implementation and a lot better than Samsung's swipe-able sensor on the Galaxies. "

I would definitely want this on the Nexus !
[Nexus 6  General] incredulous:
Lol, iOS will still benfit from Google Inbox so that's an irrelevant argument.

Go to www.google.com/inbox and if you scroll through the page you'll see a lady quite clearly using an iPhone 6 ha.
[Nexus 6  General] mscion:
Has anyone ever noticed that comparing the iphone 6 plus to the nexus 6 is like comparing Apples to Androids?
[Nexus 6  General] robertopod1968:
I think it's pretty safe to say that the Nexus 6 is not going to come close to giving me the usage or screen on time that my iPhone 6 plus does. I just much prefer Android. A nexus with 7 hours screen time and a good fingerprint scanner would be perfect

Now i ended up with : Boot , LG logo , Secure booting error cause boot certification verify, and then my screen is still ON but with black background.

-I have the proper drivers for my device

- I have tried the LG Flash tool , but while the softare is running a msg is appearing with a warrning that i dont have my phone connected with my pc

I'm trying to update my G Watch by sideloading a zip file.

I installed the sdk tools and usb driver as usual.

On debugging mode and bootloader, the watch is detected as an ADB device normally. 'adb devices' command works.

But when I reboot and get on recovery mode, the watch disappears on the device manager and never get detected again. So I cannot use 'adb sideload' command.

I've never experienced this kind of issue with smartphones.

Do you have any solutions?

My watch is now bricked because I have no way to get out of "adb sideload" mode...how did you get out of that mode? please tell me.

Wow ok, that's a LOT longer than I'm used to with other devices...THANK GOD I thought I had bricked it completely.

If this really helps (seems weird): I guess the exact setting could be necassary:

You simply ran out of battery while the watch was running(not recovery or fastboot) and then plugged it in and went directly (or not?) to the recovery?
