ROOT:

Yes, I have rooted it with "MTK Droid Tools" combined with iRoot.

Hi Guys, here is my full user unboxing and review of the iNew V3 Plus, what do you think about this new version?

I still find the design really nice. It actually looks 1:1 with the first iNew V3, but has upgraded hardware.

The original iNew V3 was a big hit when it was released because of the design and the price was excellent for the specs. Now there is a new, better and faster version out called iNew V3 Plus, with the same nice design. Notice the 2GB RAM now! But disappointing is that they removed NFC, no 4G and the small battery is still the same.

Here the iNew V3 Plus (aka. V3A) specifications:

- MT6592M 1.4 GHZ Octa-Core / Mali-450MP

- 2GB ram / 16 GB rom

- Android OS 4.4.2 version

- 5.0" HD screen 1280x720 pixels (294 PPI)

- Notifications LED (Seems to support more colors)

- 143 x 71 x 6.5 mm

- 13.0 MP back camera Auto Focus, 5 MP front camera

- Gesture Capture for the front camera (do a V with your hand to start a countdown)

- 2 x 1830 mAh lithium battery

- 3G, WIFI 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, EDGE, HSDPA, HSUPA

- Dual Mic / Support for OTG / No NFC support

- WCDMA 850/2100MHz and GSM 850/900/1800/1900
[Device Reviews and Information] LobotomyTH:
It's time to revive this thread, I think.

I have some information you might find interesting, s7yler. Near Field Communication, as I'm sure you know, was a removed from the V3+, while the original V3 had it. I've been taking a good hard look at the board and chassis between the two models, and see absolutely no reason why NFC could not be reimplemented. All of the hardware for it is onboard, the contacts for the NFC sticker still exist, although the contact standoffs on the original V3 chassis are not, which isn't really the end of the world, it just means we need to find a way to make the NFC sticker connect to the board through some other means, maybe wires or something dirty will work for now.

You can get the sticker here. I bought one myself.

Here are some pictures of what I'm talking about:

This is the V3+. notice the contacts near the camera are indented, flush with the board:

And the original V3, notice that the contacts are now flush with the rest of the chassis:
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
But there is also no NFC option in the ROM for the Plus version. Then someone would need to implement the NFC feature also to the ROM for the V3 Plus.
[Device Reviews and Information] LobotomyTH:
Well it's certainly a damn good thing this is xda developers, isn't it?

I'm waiting for all of the parts to arrive, but in the meantime, I need to find a ROM for the original iNew V3. I'm about 90% sure that the Wi-Fi Direct hardware is the same between these phones, since everything else is, except for the ram and cpu, so porting the NFC libraries, or even simply adding the option for it in the V3+ ROM is probably all that needs to be done. It's possible that the V3+ firmware is identical to the original, save for libraries for the MTK6592, so for all we know, NFC options could simply be commented out.

I'll do some tinkering and let you know.
[Device Reviews and Information] languille26:
hello, I receive the inew v3 + , there is there a way to put the processor 1.7 ghz (as mtk 6592 standard) with a kernel or other manipulation?

If you have feedback on this phone?

Thank you in advance
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Why would you want to clock it at 1.7Ghz? doesn't it run smooth? overclocking may just drain the battery faster and maybe overheat it. The 300Mhz you get more, is not worth it I would say. Also I don't think it is possible to clock the MT6592M to 1.7Ghz, never heard about such a thing.
[Device Reviews and Information] languille26:
I agree that this can pose problems but the 6592 original MTK is a 1.7GHz , so I figured get this frequency was not completely unreasonable ... By cons for gaming the GPU is the same so games level I should not feel difference compared to mtk 6592 (I had a W200s thl with MTK6592 1.7GHz ) ?

What bothers m it's just AnTuTu scores I've seen on the net that are 20,000 instead of 28,000 to 30,000 on a classic 6592 mtk here is my fear .... that's why I come to more ...

thank you
[Device Reviews and Information] languille26:
miui it is available on the new version of inew v3 ?

In addition the update (V8) brings it to interresting improvements ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] dancer:
I am a happy wallaby owner. I updated to xda v1.2 about two years ago...works great. out of curiosity I revisited the site, which has changed. I don't recognize the updates they are talking about....?

Is there a better os than xda v1.2 and if so how can I get it?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
There are several ROM-Version based on WM 2003 available for the Wallaby, and also am WM2003SE (which is after my opinion not for production use).

You can get the ROMs here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions

Double Tap??

I tried looking through the threads but couldn't find anything....my double tap turns the screen off but it won't turn it back on. Any ideas??
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Could be kernel related. Furnace kernel was doing that to me.

[Nexus 6  General] F4M0U569:
Post your disappointments about the N6. My disappointments are as follows:

display

quality build and design

camera

no phablet features
[Nexus 6  General] jt3:
My biggest disappointment is that I don't have it yet, even though I preordered it from Google Play, and had the earliest ship-by date they offered (11/21).

Otherwise, I can't really say (see above), but from what I'm hearing, the Ambient Display bug (accidental app activation, butt dialing, etc.) is my biggest concern. Also, the way that Google forces 3rd party apps to shutdown and lock the screen, Smart Lock is effectively disabled when using such an app (like Gravity Screen). That's a lollipop thing though, not really N6, so I'm not sure that counts.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
None.
[Nexus 6  General] techrider6262:
So basically the only like the software.

I think you should give it to me:D
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
OP, do you own the Nexus 6? This is the second thread you've made in the Nexus 6 forums about how you don't like it. The first got shut down. I'm calling this troll bait too.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2945415
[Nexus 6  General] Mi|enko:
No offense, but it almost sounds like you didn't know what you were getting yourself into or that your expectations were based on a comparative product. . . or that you work for a manufacturer for a comparative product.
[Nexus 6  General] ggreenwood334:
I guess he was reading the wrong thread. Android 5.0 and the nexus 6 never claimed to be the note 4 and have a bunch of "features" sorry dudes.
[Nexus 6  General] bartolo5:
Display. Over saturated and yellowish tint are not my cup of tea. Resolution and brightness are fine but I don't think I'll be able to get used to the super saturated colors and the white color balance.

Non oleophobic front glass? My nexus 5 and iPhone 6+ have screens that are much more greasyphobic than this. This guy requires constant wiping on front and back.

Battery life. Having to carry this monster around I'd rather had impressive battery life. This guy's battery life is average.

Those are my main gripes about the device. There is lots to like.
[Nexus 6  General] Cyberguycpt:
Thread lightly, I mean tread lightly with this post its soon to get closed.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
So far its only that the buttons are at the middle. I prefer them at the top right
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
The fact that I don't have it yet.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
I'll give you display and camera (even though good counter arguments can be made for either), but..

What is wrong with the build quality and design? This is one of the best designed phones lol. Do you have the device? Have you encountered any problems in build quality? Any evidence to back it up?

Phablet features like what? Multi-window? We're getting that soon. What else?

It would be nice if you could explain yourself.

--

My biggest gripe isn't 100%, but I'm hoping that encryption doesn't cause the device to lag when opening apps. Oh, and lack of availability. Other than that, I'm pleased with this device.
[Nexus 6  General] F4M0U569:
Yes I do own the phone. Else why would I make a thread ? Are you offended by what I said about the phone? Don't let my opinions hurt your feelings

Best designed phone according to whom? To you? Where did you read we are we getting the phablet features? Got sources?
[Nexus 6  General] cnstarz:
I haven't played with one yet and I don't intend on buying until I do so maybe my opinion will change once I actually play with one -- but my biggest disappointment with the Nexus 6 is its price tag, followed by its size. This phone simply does not offer enough to justify its flagship price tag. It lacks expandable storage and removable battery which should be deducted from the price as other similarly priced flagship phones have one or both of them. Before you say, "That's been a staple with the Nexus line the entire time..." yeah, so were their undercutting prices which justified the phones not having expandable storage or removable battery. $350 for a Nexus 5 was perfectly acceptable because it lacked expandable storage and removable battery. Secondly, the Nexus line has repeatedly been plagued with shoddy cameras and battery life that are simply not on par with flagship phones, let alone any phone within their price range. I'm sure this phone takes better photos than the Nexus 5, but it does not take better photos than the Note 4 or the Xperia Z3, and definitely not the iPhone 6 (that's a tough one to beat no matter what). If this phone was priced at $450-$500, then I can justify jumping to one.

The Xperia Z3 is about the perfect size for me, but I can tolerate going as big as the Note 4. The Nexus 6 is just a mammoth of a phone, and I'm sure watching videos on it is great. But I dont buy a phone to watch videos and play games -- I have a tablet for those purposes. Additionally, with something like a phone, I'd like for it to comfortably fit in my back pockets without it sticking out and without requiring a pair of JNCOs to hold it. I carry my phone with me everywhere (as do most people), I do not want to lug around a freaking phablet everywhere. I think they should've eased into a 5.5" screen size first. Making such a huge jump is a shock to the senses, lol.

I know the phone is a great piece of hardware, but it's certainly not for me as expensive and big as it is. I'll most likely be skipping it.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I ask because you spend a large amount of time slamming the device and praising the Note 4, in multiple threads. Usually when someone owns a device they don't dedicate so much time to dogging on it and creating multiple threads about how much they hate it. They usually sell it and go buy the device they want.

It's classic troll bait activity. That's why I ask.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Not only me.. most users on here and most reviews have said this phone looks good.

Source for multi-window.

Thanks for dodging my questions and replying with your own questions.

Feel free to clarify why you are disappointed with the screen, build quality, and design.
[Nexus 6  General] leemsami:
I heard that the nexus 6 can not do voice and talk simultaneously, can somebody confirm that?
[Nexus 6  General] litrekid:
I believe droid-life confirmed that on verizon
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
That's a Verizon problem not the device
[Nexus 6  General] americasteam:
I have nothing against the OP not liking the Nexus. I'm still waiting on mine and may not like it myself when I get it. My question is why come to a forum and create a complaint thread? I've hated many devices. I sell them and move on. It baffles me why anyone would want to hang around a forum for a device they're so unhappy with.
[Nexus 6  General] Cyberguycpt:
Saw the phone Today at a T-Mobile store and here are my gripes and likes.

Gripes

1. This phone likes Fingerprints and no there isn't a reader. The Matte finish much like the Moto G gets finger prints easily.

2. Material used doesn't look as premium as the Note 4.

likes

1. Nice big screens

2. Loud Speakers could hear music clear and loud in a busy T-Mobile store.
[Nexus 6  General] journeyman73:
I'm disappointed on how effectively the Blue variant picks up grease so easily making the device look a couple months old instead of a couple hours. Wish my case was here... I'm also disappointed in the many hoops I have to jump through to get the device activated on sprint.

Lastly the screen could be a little more sharper but still looks better than my Nexus 5.

All in all, I'm very please with the device. The speakers are awesome, very loud & clear & Lollipop is a blast to use.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Multiple complaint threads.... and spend time in other threads dogging it. Like I said before. Most people don't sit and fester in Internet forums over their own device they hate especially when it's in such high demand they could easily sell, for a profit, and go buy whatever makes them happy.

I don't think he even owns it based on his posting pattern.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Design is going to be completely subjective. What one likes another might not.
[Nexus 6  General] badboy47:
1. Size

2. Doesn't have Moto features ;/

3. Bad battery from what I seen in multiple reviews it's average

4. Locked for carriers

I went ahead and jumped to M8 for now. I really like turbo but it's Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] Cyberguycpt:
It's human nature. Being someone who has worked in customer service for over 15 years you learn that when someone is unhappy with a product or service they spread the word and let as many people know as possible. Usually for someone to leave positive comments they would have to be overly impressed and wowed to do the same. That's why most stores have receipts with request for you to give feedback.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Congrats. The M8 is a solid device. It's the device responsible for my insistence that my next device had to best my Note 3 with a bigger screen and with stereo FF speakers like my wife's M8......
[Nexus 6  General] Cyberguycpt:
Funny, when ever someone has a negative comment about any phone they are always accused of lying or trolling. Over on Macrumors when ever someone says there IPhone bent it usually followed by someone saying they are trolling.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
This isn't an isolated event for the OP. There's an established pattern. You seem to share his style, creating a thread about why your thread got closed and accusing the mods of being biased.....lol
[Nexus 6  General] Jfree3000:
Meh, can't find the thread but apparently the n5 had the color issue which was fixed with a custom kernel and app. The phone just came out and the massive amount of hate is crazy. All will be right in the world once development kicks off. Oh I'm disappointed that I have to order the 64gb version online.
[Nexus 6  General] marper123:
Listen up whipper snapper. I have owned a phablet before phablets were cool. People laughed at how large my Galaxy Note 1 was and I laughed back at them and told them how they would be owning a phone this size in the near future. And that Note had a 5.3 inch display which is now normal. So that being said Samsung invented all these phablet features you speak of and having had every iteration of the Note I tried out the phablet features quite a bit and let me tell you they are a joke. I turned them off because they don't make it easier to use a large phone. You get used to a large phone by using one and you adapt to the new format.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Lol
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
Biggest disappointment - apart from the average screen, camera and thickness of the phone - is availability and price.

I can't order now and when I will be able to order I will have to pay outright $980 with standard shipping (or $1,010 with express shipping) for the 64GB version of the phone, to arrive (approximately) between 10 December and 20 December. If I purchase from a carrier (e.g. Telstra) I was told (by a contact at Telstra - not a sales rep) when they eventually stock the phone they expect it to have a 10% mark-up on the Google Play price.

For comparison I purchased a new iPhone 6+ 64gb for $870 for my mother and my brother purchased a new Note 4 (top model) for $810 outright, both delivered.

I'm not sure - for me - that the Nexus 6 represents all that good value. Paying more essentially for Android 5.0 (which can be rooted to a Note 4), worse screen, cameras and thicker phone body.

That is my disappointments from my position. To all those who paid a reasonable price for this phone, congrats and enjoy!
[Nexus 6  General] Cyberguycpt:
First off, I didn't accuse anyone of anything I asked a question. I have seen this pattern a lot where moderators close threads when unpopular opinions are presented. At least he was professional about it, I've seen other Mods with arrogant attitudes with posters even asking simple questions and the Mod telling them to do an forum search ... Then saying thread closed.

You say me and the OP share the same style but have you even looked at my post history. I write on a variety of post and am definitely not a troll. I am someone that likes to share my opinion and read the opinions of others on things. I may not always agree with their opinion but I can respect it. And if you could say so easily that we have the same style it leads me to believe that your the one throwing around false accusations.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
So, back on topic.... lol
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
As far as mods closing threads, let me answer that. Mods usually close threads if there are duplicates. You'll see multiple threads about the same thing all throughout the forums. This causes a bit of a headache as the information gets posted all over the place.

If you think some mods are treating you unfairly, bring it up with them via PMs. If that doesn't work, try talking to someone who's higher up the ladder.
[Nexus 6  General] Davil_79:
If the rumors I've read is true I dislike:

1. Nexus 6 does not support APT-X (?).

2. Low volume from the headphone output (GSM arena).

3. Poor camera in the dark.
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
The only thing I don't like so far is the size and weight. Mostly the size. I knew it was going to be huge, but Damn. I feel like I'm getting carpal tunnel lol...

That said everything else about it has been great for me. The screen looks amazing. Battery is good (compared to nexus 5). I could agree with the poor camera in the dark, but that doesn't really concern me much. Wireless charging feels extra slow, but that is probably just the size of the battery. Or maybe just not lining it up right...

Oh. And I hate ambient display. I can't tell who or what the notification is or who it's from without picking up phone. Really missing the led light now. Even sitting next to me I the desk.
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
Is there an app available which will light up a square of pixels super bright on the display, to act as a kind of LED? Which of course repeatedly flashes like an LED. That could be an option...if it exists. Just thinking aloud here.

When I found out no LED I was saddened. At least put a higher MP front facing camera with flash (quite a few phones have this) and then use the flash to act as a notification light. Thanks for the feedback.
[Nexus 6  General] kylez64:
My biggest disappointment is the display. Although I have not seen the display but its a generation behind the Note 4 and that fact alone kinda errks me. I'm sure the display is fine and all and its not stopping me from buying.
[Nexus 6  General] iil:
I'm pretty bummed that it will not apparently stick to magnetic docks. I have a magnetic dock in my car and I'm going to have to replace it.
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
There are apps like this, but the ones I tried woke up the while display for a split second. But even worse causes a wake lock the whole time it's running
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
That's not ideal then; Google should've kept the notification light, it's not like it takes up so much battery or space in the phone. Hopefully someone develops an app that will work as a suitable replacement to the notification light.

The active display is not a suitable replacement for an LED; it uses more power and is less informative since you have to pick up the phone to actually see notifications.
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
Not only that, but the ambient display doesn't automatically come on when I pick up the phone off the desk half the time...

I'm sure in time a developer could mod kernel to add a no led like app in the kernel without wake locks, but only time will tell.

I'm glad I didn't sell my nexus 5 yet. Ah this point in sending it back after the work week is over unless there's some magic that makes me fall in love with it. And I've loved all the previous nexus prior.
[Nexus 6  General] cybrwulf:
I find it funny that all these people post their "disappointments" but don't actually have the phone like some of us...
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
Hmm well if you sell it now, sell it fast because you will surely get all your money back for it, and maybe even some more. I'm sorry to hear you spent so much money and waited long for a phone that doesn't immediately make you feel good. The fact that you are happy you kept your Nexus 5 (last years 'BUDGET' model) after using this years 'premium' model is concerning.

I hope it works out for you. You are not the only person I've heard using the N6 with similar complaints.

You can be disappointed in a phone without owning it by simply looking at the facts of the phone...e.g. phone has a widely reported average screen, below average stock camera, average battery and too thick.

Some people obviously complain about useless things but for the better part you don't need to own a device to be disappointed by it.
[Nexus 6  General] cybrwulf:
Great... I have had it for the day and even though I have a Note 4 and other devices I can say I am loving this Nexus 6 with my Verizon service. I always have multiple devices and I will say that Android Lollipop will make it hard to move back to the Note 4 as a daily driver.
