Finally, I need to send back to SIS to replace my motherboard.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NishkarshChugh:
This is my first post here because I usually find answers on my own but this seems to be an unsolved issue everywhere so please excuse me if I do not follow a proper format.

My Nexus 4's USB is broken (not the wire, but the actual microUSB) so I can charge fine but cannot connect to the computer. It is unlocked and rooted and I do not mind losing my data (everything is backed up) but I cannot get the update without a PC.

A way to get the update very easily and without losing data was to flash the OTA zip using TWRP 2.7 but it gave me an error saying it cannot install zips from sdcard. So I flashed the latest CWM which can do it but it gave me an error saying

"package expects build fingerprint of google/occam/mako:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys or googleoccam/mako:5.0/LRX21P/1570855:user/release-keys; this device has google/occam/mako:4.3/JWR66Y/779366:user/release-keys."

but my phone has 4.4.4 KTU84P and I know that. I am wondering if it is because of the weird looking kernel I have due to my use of Wug's NRT in the past so I flashed stock recovery to factory reset but when I found out my phone was going to be locked again, I flashed CWM using Flashify again. I'm attaching the screenshot of my 'about' below.

Since I do not mind losing data by flashing a factory image, is there any way I can do it without connecting it to the PC? Because I really want this phone to return to stock? (I know with Flashify you cannot) but I'm apprehensive of locking the phone again because I'd really like to root and install custom recoveries etc.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
For the ota to work you need the stock recovery and no system files modified or deterred. I would flash the stock recovery in flashify and try the ota again

Thank you! This is a working solution, got the sweet OTA on my phone!

Requesting the mods to close this thread. Thank you!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fruity101079:
Same problem for me (but to go to 5.0.1 from 5.0)

I re-flashed stock kernel and radio, but still the same message.

Why this 4.3 message??

Edit : wait, I forgot to flash stock recovery

I know that no one waiting for their phone wants to see a thread like this, but I got my phone today from moto and noticed that the screen has a yellow tint to it. It isn't quite as bad when it is turned all the way up, but I don't think most of us use the phone day to day at 100% brightness. The attached picture is the N6 next to my OPO. I was just curious if anyone that got theirs today noticed the same thing.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
RMA
[Nexus 6  General] Poke_N_PDA:
A more ironic comparison could never have been made. LOL!
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
I have a feeling that will ultimately be necessary. It just sucks because I REALLY don't feel like dealing with the hassle.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
Thats the only benefit of Google Play.

You got your phone first but if I have to RMA (If I ever get the phone) they will send me a replacement first.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Woah the opo looks bright compared to the nexus 6. Let's wait until more of us get it before deciding to rma.

One thing is moto will do advanced rma so it won't take 2 months to return it like it did for my opo.
[Nexus 6  General] rdmetz:
just looks like a warm display vs a cooler display...as in color temps. I dont see any problem with it in fact 1+1 looks too "cool" for my tastes.
[Nexus 6  General] elkay:
Hope this isn't by design. With LCDs, this could be a bad backlight. Color temp isn't controlled by a backlight with AMOLED, though, so I'm not sure how this could be a hardware problem. More than one phone has been released where manufacturers tried the "warm" color temp route before customers complained and they patched a cooler temp. Even iPhone went through it.
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
I will def wait a few days and give more people a chance to get it before doing anything. And thank god for companies better than OnePlus. Well..at least better at RMA...I wouldn't say that this "launch" was much less frustrating than theirs.

That is what I am leaning towards. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up to keep an eye out for it and also see what you all thought.
[Nexus 6  General] elkay:
Most people prefer a cooler display. If it's just the color profile, it'll be fixed by someone in a matter of days. The plus of an open phone. :)
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
Amen to that
[Nexus 6  General] Tsukasa Buddha:
I think this is right. It looks like "normal" vs "cool" display modes on my S4. I stuck with "normal".

I am sure people will come out with apps to change it, like my S4. Might have to be root/built-in custom ROM feature, though.
[Nexus 6  General] djkinetic:
I mentioned this over the weekend that the nexus 6 a warmer tuned color temp to it when I compared it to my opo and g3 at the tmo store. Looks like it might be pretty prevalent.
[Nexus 6  General] elkay:
It's usually done at the kernel level, but could be made to be adjusted outside of hardcoded settings if coded to do so.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Agreed. Looks like the N6 is more color accurate and the 1plus1 looks blue
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
I must have missed that post. Hopefully if most people don't like it Google with make it cooler in a future update or maybe my eyes just need to get used to more accurate color temps.
[Nexus 6  General] hitzand:
Could this be the digitizer adhesive issue we've seen before from the first phones right off the manufacturing line? Basically it's where the glue behind the screen has not fully had time to dry and go completely clear. It happened with iPhone 4s and 5 launches, HTC, Moto X, and others. It usually goes away over time, but people often get replacements anyway. Since that may be hard to do this instant, I'd say give it a week or two.
[Nexus 6  General] elkay:
They went through this with the Nexus 4. It'll be taken care of.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexus4displaycontrol
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
I was thinking the same thing but when I read about it online it said that most of the time if it is a glue issue then the yellowing is more splotchy and not an even full screen distribution. But either way I will give it some time to see what happens
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
Good to know, thanks
[Nexus 6  General] hitzand:
Maybe it will get splotchy as some of it actually dries - you do have one of the very first ones out, you sonofa- lucky duck, you :D
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
hahaha, very true, I certainly am not complaining about how lucky I am to actually have one.
[Nexus 6  General] chancy319:
This is why I ****ing hate AMOLED displays. They need to all be compiled and dumped into the bottom of the ocean. ****ty garbage.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
Looks like color temp to me, too.

You could take that same photo and run it on the opo forum, but say that it seems like the opo has a bit of a blue tint.
[Nexus 6  General] Ballastatuz:
Yeah the oneplus one isn't a good measure to use. That screen had yellow banding so they hyped up the color temp to make it more blueish because people love blue screens.
[Nexus 6  General] ilostmypistons:
Bet the yellow goes away with a few days of use. These devices are fresh off the line
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
With the one plus it never went away for me even after weeks. Let's hope this is the case here and it does disappear or the colors can be adjusted via kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] hanano17:
I think I read or heard a video that said this might be by design to make low light reading easier to view and provide less strain on your eyes. Not sure if it's true or not, but food for thought.
[Nexus 6  General] americasteam:
Maybe that was the pink tint when brightness is at the lowest setting? A pink, yellow, or any other color tinted screen is not a feature. Hopefully the white is closer to 6500k than the Oppo which would make it look more yellow, but actually be more correct. May be the glue that needs to cure.

I'm hoping I really like the screen. Mixed reviews and views are hard to pinpoint the actual quality of the screen. That and the cell signal strength will determine whether mine stays or gets returned. Have a Dec 2nd delivery date from Motorola. I'm very interested in this thread.
[Nexus 6  General] Semantics:
Don't bother with the RMA, just read the reviews in the review thread. Plenty of the reviewers state the same exact thing.
[Nexus 6  General] iil:
I'm guessing your eyes just need to get used to it. For what it is worth I had a similar issue with my Nexus 5 and I stopped noticing it once I stopped comparing it side by side to other devices. It really annoyed me initially and stuck out every time I viewed anything white but in the end it turned into a total non-issue.
[Nexus 6  General] SeanPlunk:
It looks a lot less red here compared to the Moto X and Turbo:
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
That looks OK to me ...

But, your brightness setting at what percentage?

Thing is, I plan to set the brightness at 30%. I don't know if that's high enough to eliminate the yellow tint.

I don't want to set high brightness as the battery life is not good, from what I read.
[Nexus 6  General] hanano17:
I got mine today and it definitely looks yellow in comparison to the photos above. Makes me think that either a) its an issue with some N6s or b) the glue theory is true. I hope its the latter, because right now I am preferring my Z2's display and I remember liking AMOLEDs a lot previously.

One thing I did notice, is its yellowy looking at the screen directly (no matter what brightness) but if you look at it off angle, it almost goes away. Like the whites are almost comparable to my Z2 or the ones in these pictures. I have another one coming in a couple weeks, if it hasn't gone away at least I'll be able to compare and see if the other is any better.
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Mine has the yellow tint also looks like the display is set to Warm..an its driving crazy....

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

I do notice that looking at the screen a little off angle the yellow tint disappears an looks so much better...Effing crazy...
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
They could be different screen variations or that it just is calibrated to be warmer yellow. A custom kernel would fix this.
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Another thing I kinda noticed is that the left side of the screen is a bit brighter then the right side I really notice it if on a all Gray screen...
[Nexus 6  General] hanano17:
I hope its either glue that fades or something that a kernel can fix, because the screen looks so much better off angle lol
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
Kernel RGB colors/gamma will definitely be able to make the screen less warm and more cool. Just have to be patient and deal with it for now.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
Mine is the same. Doesn't bother me but it's very noticeable next to the ips screen of my nexus 5. When not comparing it to another phone I can't really tell.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
Same here with my OnePlus One. The difference is night and day. Ahhh :C with 100% brightness it looks fine but running the phone 100% brightness wouldn't be very good.

Kind of weird how Lollipop is so white background orientated and Motorola slapped on a AMOLED screen as opposed to a IPS; whereas, whites use more battery on AMOLED.
[Nexus 6  General] Ballastatuz:
I actually think the nexus looks more natural. i played with one a google rep had.
[Nexus 6  General] 414isaiah:
I got mine yesterday, the first thing I did was compare it to my yellowish note 2 screen, its a little better than that, but still yellow..... grrrrrrr, I've already returned a note 4 for slow data speeds, an iphone 6 plus for bad software, and, hopefully this gets fixed. I just compared it to a note 3, big difference, very frustrating, I guess im just not a warm kind of guy. not very thrilled with the camera either, the note 3 was much better, still need to play with it a little more. SMH at motorola.
[Nexus 6  General] pdaod:
With the sophistication of current mobile OSes, I'm surprised that fully adjustable color management or profiles are not standard.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
For the OnePlus One, it was standard which was pretty much CM11 but then it was later removed for a dynamic "Color Enhancement"

Was quite nice to have access to that out of the box.
[Nexus 6  General] ryude:
My Nexus 6 has a very accurate screen. Compared to my brother's iphone 6 it is just slightly warmer.
[Nexus 6  General] shook187:
I think threads like this are so lame.

How many times do we see this every time a new phone is released, "look my screen don't look like your screen" or "my screen is warm your screen is cooler"
[Nexus 6  General] DualSportDad:
This right here. I just got my nexus 6 last night and immediately said to myself "is this display yellow?". Then o took my OnePlus one out of my pocket and compared it and sure enough the nexus looks yellow in comparison. I activated my nexus on T-Mobile and went out for the night, I have not once again noticed the yellow tint, I guess I just got used to it. The screen is nice and looks good to me.
[Nexus 6  General] HyperM3:
I find mine to be slightly yellow too until I pop it up to full brightness. Don't really care as videos look really good and everything else Im doing with it.
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Can't wait for a fix for this the warm tint is driving me crazy..
[Nexus 6  General] SeanPlunk:
Same. I'm starting to get used to it, but I can't wait until I can make my whites look white :D

I apparently prefer cooler calibrations.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
The reason this phone looks warm is because we are so used to cooler displays.
[Nexus 6  General] jcarlm:
When playing with the demo at T-Mobile I do notice the warm tint. It makes my nexus 5 look really blue tinted. I think I like the warm better.
[Nexus 6  General] bwillet:
I was worried about the yellowness after reading all these posts, but I am happy to say my Nexus 6 I got at Sprint 2 days ago looks just fine to me. Compared to the Note 3 I was coming from it is definitely warmer, but I certainly wouldn't say it is yellow. I typically prefer a cooler display as well, but the Nexus 6 looks fine. Note 4 might be better screen-wise, but there are enough benefits to the Nexus for me to make it a no-brainer.

I'm going to try and score a 64gb today (yeah right) and give this 32 to the wife, curious if the screen on that one would look any different. If I do manage to be able to compare the two, I'll report as to any difference.
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
Personally for you, you've been using phones with AMOLED whereas some people have been on IPS for a long time so their eyes are not used to "whites" not actually being "whites" whereas on IPS, it is white but the blacks arent as black on AMOLED.
[Nexus 6  General] khaliqueaamer:
Warmer Tint

I received this phone yesterday from TMobile and Got frustrated by seeing the warmer colors. First i thought it is the screen protector which causing the color difference, It did not make a difference even after removing it.

I am 100% sure this is a defect, not a warmer shade. Follow this method to identify the problem.

Search something from Google search bar on Nexus 6 and compare with any other phone.

The Background looks yellow compared to other phones which displays white.

Hold the phone vertical and in the same window notice the Shade/Tint in the horizontal bar (Web. News, Shopping) from left to right.

Then Hold the phone Horizontally and notice the shade from left to right.

You will notice that The Top portion of the screen is more yellow than the bottom portion.

Returning the phone today, its a big deal for me. If I am paying 700$ then I want the phone perfect.
[Nexus 6  General] TheAmazingDave:
Word. That's the first thing I noticed on mine, too. It's a much warmer display than what I'm accustomed to.

I'm surrounded by 3 LCDs all day, 4 if you count my N7, and all fluorescent lighting. I've had three ocular migraines this year.

The warm color temp of my N6 is a WELCOMED change, and although it may end up adjustable with software, I wouldn't consider it a defect.
[Nexus 6  General] PJcastaldo:
I either don't have or just don't see a yellow tint. I honestly like the more warm and deep look of an amoled. What I'd do see is a crazy red tint when you are on a low brightness. I first noticed it the other day when I got out of work late and it was dark out. But now I see it all the time. !!
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
From what I see in pics it looks like just a warmer screen. Doesn't look like the opo yellow band which is good. The warm effect can be changed to a cooler one with a custom kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] casonswag:
Once we get kernels well be able to change all that i hope franco comes through
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
It will. And same here, once I get RGB / Gamma ill be set.
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Would be awesome to have a feature like the Samsung phones to change the screen format...like dynamic or basic etc...
[Nexus 6  General] casonswag:
Yuup thats all u need it and yull be set !
[Nexus 6  General] mike2518:
Ok, so I went to a Sprint store last Sunday and played with a blue nexus 6 for the first time. Let me just say that the screen totally sucks big time. I was all excited and about to even switch to Sprint but the screen is a no go. It's not bright at all and very dull. I had my new oneplus one next to it, and could clearly see a huge difference. I've had many phones, note 2, and currently have an lg g2 and the new oneplus, nexus 6 screen sucks big time. What were they thinking? And also, I had the adaptive brightness off, still dull and weak. I'm sadly passing over this phone, I really wanted it.
[Nexus 6  General] khaliqueaamer:
Its just not warmer colors. Top Half screen is more Yellow than the bottom
[Nexus 6  General] sn0warmy:
I initially noticed the yellow hue of my Nexus 6's screen. However, I've noticed this with the last 3-4 of my previous phones. All it takes is a custom kernel (like Franco) that allows for RGB and Gamma tweaking and the problem will be easily solved. Anyone RMA's their phones for this are being ridiculous. Unless, of course, your screen really does have more of a yellow hue on one part of the screen than the rest of the screen. But I imagine the number of people with only a partial discolored screen is very small.
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
What's crazy is if you tilt the phone just barley an look at the screen at a angle the yellow tint disappear s..grrrrr
[Nexus 6  General] kobalt9:
Yeah I keep putting it down and then looking at it from an angle and thinking "well that actually isn't so bad", then I pick it up and frown
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Yep...blows debating keeping this or take it back an just keep my G3 til somthin else comes out....
[Nexus 6  General] cardusan:
You should read this!

:oAll of the phones especially Nexus line come in and have yellowish - warmer temperature of the screen. I compared screen with the L90 which was terrible (bleeds, darkenings, cool blue shades variations) and yes it looked warmer but:

1. As long as warmer temperature is evenly distributed on the whole screen, over the next few weeks warmer temperature will settle and screen will be at the color it was made for not too cool, no too warm. This is not a defect, and nowehere near issue that OnePlus One phones have. Those chinese crap phones have yellow piss I call it, rather bottom screen yellowing disease that is not fixable!

2. Also, go into automatic brightness display options and turn-off automatic. You will notice that screen becomes brighter at he level where your slikder was at (normal for these days top tier phones). Test your screen with manual adjustments of the brightness levels and you will notice how bright this phone screen actually is! Note that IPS screens may be brighter, but Amoled from my experience works better outside than IPS (OPO, etc.)

3. Do not RMA it just yet... you have the warranty for 1 full year. If this does not go away within 1st month I would call them and request a replacement phone or assistance to address the issue. I know return period is 14 days (I think with moto is too), but if you are returning it, make sure you are returning it for good, and then wat few months to get the phone later once these "issues" are proven and checked to be as I explained them above.
[Nexus 6  General] casonswag:
My screen is just fine i dont have a yellow hue screen looks perfect from tmo
[Nexus 6  General] Xileforce:
Just got my nexus 6 about 45 mins ago. First thing I did was put it to max brightness with adaptive off, took my note 3 and did the same then put them both on chrome on the google page. Then held both up and asked the family which they thought looked like more white. Everyone picked the nexus 6. The nexus also looks brighter in my opinion than the note 3, but its possibly that this is just because its white is more white. Anyways side by aide it blows away my note 3 screen so I'm extremely happy. Anyone on the fence that has a note 3, I say go for it! Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
What does the adaptive display do? Is that for the notifications?
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Yes..
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
So if it's off then how do the notifications come through ? Does the screen still pulse ?
[Nexus 6  General] jtwlbz:
Its all motorola QA issue. Poor calibration tolerance.
[Nexus 6  General] Xileforce:
No, that is ambient display. Adaptive is for the auto brightness.
[Nexus 6  General] PewPewK:
Got my Nexus 6 today and while it's great in most regards, its screen is just... bad. It's so much warmer than the Nexus 5 or the Note 4, both of which have great displays (Note 4 wins, though). And the brightness, even with adaptive display disabled, is just dark. I can live with the brightness, but the color issue is serious to me. As many have said, the color issue is likely either (a) something that can be corrected for in software or (b) an issue with the screens just coming up the assembly line and the glue needing to... do whatever it is it needs to do. That said, since I have 14 days from now to make a decision to either keep the Nexus 6 or ditch it for the Note 4. Hopefully some good kernels come out before then so I can test recalibration of the screen.
[Nexus 6  General] supasanch24:
Gotta say that for me this is thread is useless. Just use your phone and enjoy it. Warm, ,cool, who cares!!!
