While waiting for my Nexus I'm using a Note 4. I find Samsung's pedometer in S Health to be WAY more accurate than the pedometer in Google fit. I'm finding the one in fit to be off by thousands of steps sometimes. I'm using a hip mounted pedometer I've worn for months as reference.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAscension:
I’ve been holding off on updating to KK (for a long time :)) and after reading some threads I’m not convinced it’s an improvement. Is there any really compelling reason to update to KK? Seems to be quite a few performance complaints. People seem to be having mixed results with Lollipop with many complaining about their KK experience too.

I’m really happy with JB. Battery life and overall system performance is great. Plus I like the blue system icons better than white.:cool:

What is your experience with KK and would you recommend updating? Why?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imacellist:
Um don't update to KitKat...update to lollipop. Its much better
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocu1a:
Don't. I gave 5.0 a try & it is worst than KitKat. WAAAAYYY worse.

I ended up flashing back to 4.3 JellyBean.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrozenstare:
LOL yea right if everyone though kitkat crippled this tablet lollipop made this tablet a quadriplegic. if you still want kitkat then go for paranoid android's kitkat build its the best KK rom i found that runs on this tablet
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imacellist:
Its better than KitKat was. What really works well is if you flash an f2fs filesystem based ROM. It makes a huge difference and the tablet actually works.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAscension:
Well I think this debate answers my question. I'll stick with JB until the smoke clears. Thanks to all who responded.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
KitKat is OK, but Lollipop is awful...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sketchman16:
Don't do it.

KitKat ruined my tilapia. The smell was horrible.

Seriously, though, grab CM 10 if you have the urge to flash something other than stock. KK ruins the battery life of the 7. I tried SlimKat 8. I tried CM 11 nightly as well as a snapshot. I even tried Google's official KK, which was what got me started flashing the thing. They just are horrible on the battery. SlimKat was the best experience besides CM 10. But CM 10 is the best so far IMHO.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sketchman16:
Haven't charged my tablet since "downgrading" to stock 4.3 in a week now. Still has plenty of battery left. KK would have eaten through 1/2 the battery in a day. Just some more food for thought if anyone reading this is still thinking they want KK on their 7. Or if they already did the dirty deed and are wondering what they lost.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
In my search for a good N6 case, I finally decided to pick this one up from the AT&T store (LINK). It has a nice, premium feel to it, and has magnets to turn the screen on/off when opening. At first glance, it's identical to what's shown on the Play Store (LINK), but there are a few differences in the card openings and stitching. I really like the speaker cut-outs, allowing you to talk on the phone while it's closed. So far, I'm quite impressed.

UPDATE 1: If you want to use it as a wallet and place credit cards or ID inside, be mindful that the flap doesn't close flat. I'm personally not using the case for that purpose, but this is the only issue I've discovered.

UPDATE 2: Wireless charging still works with the case on.

UPDATE 3: After a few weeks of use, there have been several frayed threads coming loose in between the the outer and inner surface of the flaps. I've cut them with scissors, but more are showing up. For a $40 case, this shouldn't be an issue. The edges should've been bonded together so these threads weren't prone to exposure. I like the functionality of this case, but this is disappointing.

WOW!!! That looks nice! I bought this, i'd be happy if it is only half as nice as yours. I may be purchasing the casemate here in the future.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OMZGGIO
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
That looks like a good, less expensive alternative. There seems to be no cut-out for the bottom speaker, so I'm wondering if that would affect calls while closed.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidtoy09:
How easy is it to fold the cover 180°? Or is it possible at all?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
It folds 180° just fine. Doesn't stay flat due to the phone's curved back, but still usable.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
Happy to hear about the wireless charging. Which charger do you use?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
I'm using the LG WCP-300.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jason-tech-uk:
Does anyone know if this case has a sleep sensor? That would be a killer case if it does, does the Nexus 6 even have the sleep sensor functionality? I remember the Nexus 5 did and wallet cases made full use of it. Wonder if the Nexus 6 will be the same
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
This is capable of "sleeping" and "waking" the phone when the flap opens or closes, just like pressing the power button.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
Thanks for the information on the charger. One more question---are there cutouts for the volume and power buttons, or are they covered by the case frame? Also are there magnets to keep it closed (I noticed that reviews of this same case for other phones stated that there were no magnets, despite the description saying that there were.)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
The buttons are covered by the case frame. The case has it's own raised buttons that mimic the phone's. You can see them in one of the photos I posted at the top.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
There aren't any magnets to keep it shut, only small ones for the sleep/wake functionality.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Steve Lazarus:
Picked this case up a few day's ago.... No complaints from me!! Love the added protection for the entire phone when I'm taking it in and out of my pockets, or laying it face down on my desk at work... :good:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
Are the volume and power controls fairly stable (not loose), and are they responsive? Thanks for answering my questions. I'm starting to feel like I'm interrogating you---hope you don't feel that way. Your answers are very helpful.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
Not a problem! The buttons have a tiny amount of play side-to-side, but are very responsive and stay raised. They are very similar to what's on the actual phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ajbattaglia83:
I hope casemate makes a gelli case like the one for the new moto x
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Avuton Olrich:
Not for me

Let me prefix by saying this phone needs a case. It's too unwieldy to go alone without some kind of screen & fall protection.

I went to the local T-Mobile store, since I was nearby, just to check if they had the case. I was surprised to see this case in-store as it's still not on sale on the google play store. This is the one I was waiting on, and I was ready to purchase! I removed this case from the box, the construction feels like junk. Complete and utter junk. Then, to my surprise, I found broken pieces floating around in the case. There's no way I was going with that one.

Then I grab the clear case (same one on google play store), which is not what I want, but I need a temporary solution (other than my rag) so I don't mess up my $700 device. I open the box to that, and I just couldn't do it. The case for that is so bad and it has one of those cheap, crappy kick stands. I was kinda hoping for something like my SO got off Moto's site, which is similar to this one), but for her Moto X (2013).

I've got some D-Brand skins on the way, and I hope to wrap a good Amazon folio case around soon all that soon. Something I can remove at the end of the day and enjoy my nude phone. :good:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MrDSL:
What case did you look at bro? this case is nice and sturdy and build pretty well..

i just got it and love it..especially love the fact that it turns my screen off and on when opening flip cover..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] plaktoets:
I'm planning to use this case on my mountek magnetic carmount, by inserting a metal plate in the back of the case for extra grip. Seeing that the back of your case sort of folds, would you say there's room for the metal plate? Can't tell from your photo's how exactly it is constructed. See below pic to see what I mean

http://www.imgur.com/inrcjLT.jpeg
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
It should work. There's a hard shell case under the folding material that you can attach the plate, similar to your photo.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliasps:
Hello everyone,

At first, as a new member, let me congratulate you for this amazing forum and the community that is built around it. A lot of useful and interesting stuff can be found here, and I know that it takes a lot of hard work to boost and maintain a forum to this high-quality level, create a community and share knowledge, so thank you for that and keep up the good work.

To get to the point, I recently became the owner of a Google Nexus 5 and 3 days ago I upgraded the preinstalled Android 4.4 to Android 5.0. Before that, I used a Nokia N900 phone with Maemo 5 and ArchLinux (desktop Linux Distribution), and this Nexus became my introduction to the Android operating system for the first time.

So as a newbie to Android, I want to ask toy a few questions on how to make some things done.

While I had my Android rooted before, after the upgrade it probably needs rooting again, so I'd be grateful if someone points out a link to a tutorial that describes this process. I also need to install an anti-theft application, and from what I've seen, Cerberus just does what I want, but I need to install it in a way that even if someone restored the phone to its default settings or even format it, the application woud stay in place. From what I've read, it is possible, right? I don't know how, maybe it has something to do with the ROM, which brings me to my next question. Custom ROMs, what are they? How do they get installed and which one do you suggest for Nexus 5?

As for now, those are my questions. I know that I could use Google to find out more about those stuff, but I really want to learn how they work, not just how to accomplish them, and all my searches in Google result in different ways to achieve the same thing, a fact that confuses me instead of teaching me stuff. That's why I ask here.

So, if anyone could point out some links or explain to me how to do the things I want, I'd be very grateful.

Also, besides all those things, any suggestions you might have of any nature, I'd be glad to hear them and they'll be much appreciated! :)

Than you very much in advance. I appologize to the forum and its moderators if I posted this in a wrong category or broke any rule. I assure you that if I did, it was not intetional.

Best regards,

Elias

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ccheww:
Hey just curious,

Do I need to have all previous updates installed on my device in order to receive new OTAs? Or will the newest OTA always be pushed and always cover previous missed updates?

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ally Android:
I think that would depend on the update. If the OS is being upgraded, IE: Lollipop, it would be a full update and you won't need to have previous updates installed. If it is bug fixes, it could go either way. I once had an LG Ally that required an update prior to a major update in order for the new OS to be able to fit on the phone. There wasn't enough open memory on the phone to do the major update so they had to force out an update that created more space.

For those of you who purchased from the Google Play Store and activated on Verizon, what hasn't worked?

Cut down my micro sim from my GS5 to a nano sim. Used a paper cutter and a template I found online. Worked perfectly. No problems whatsoever. My device on my verizon wireless page now shows a grayed out device, so Verizon obviously doesn't recognize it. I tried to call 611 a couple of times and it took me to the red verizon screen and seemed to hang on that.

If I update...

Hi,

1. So if I update to ZV6, will I be able to wipe everything and downgrade back to ZV4 to re-root using the LG Flash tool? I think this was said mentioned somewhere but I wanted to make sure.

2. If so, would the directions be different? And if I wanted to un-root I would use the ZV4 file to flash back stock. Would I be able to re-root it later or should I check to see if there is a root method for ZV6? :confused:

3. Would it be better to root first because I am considering to root.

3.5 On the post it says that " If you wish to use ZV6 and have root you must install Bump'd TWRP while on ZV4 then manually flash the ZV6...... you may be able to root on ZV4 then take the official ZV6 OTA update and keep root." Has anyone proved this working yet?

4. Also one question that has been on my mind for a while, When I root and install a custom recovery, I know it will void my warranty. If I flash back to stock using the LG Flash Tool, would they ever know that I was rooted with a custom recovery? Is there a flash counter or anything? Do you know how far the flash tool will work? Like if the OS won't boot and TWRP can't restore backup or I forgot to back-up, will the flash tool still work?

Sorry for all the questions, I've wanted to ask people that know this stuff instead of asking my friends :good:

Thanks for your help! :good:

I'm running stock zv6 rooted and I've noticed the same. My phone actually charges faster on the 1 amp side of my battery pack instead of the 2.1 amp where it would charge very quickly on zv4. Greenify doesn't seem to help much. To be fair the phone's performance is much improved, but I cannot figure out why the Smart charging doesn't work with the faster 2.1amp charging.
[Sprint LG G3] samuelmoya23:
I was able to found the culprit for my battery drain. It was the sprint connection optimizer. Seems like the last update to the app has some issues. I uninstalled the update and problem solved.

I froze mine and have Greenify. Still seems like lots of drain, but like I said performance is much improved with zv6.
