Too heavy? Phones used to be heavier
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Used too is the key word. In this generation you have some that still likes that bulky heavy crap which are the same ones that like using them huge extended battery that makes your phone look like a brick but then you have the folks that likes a nice big but slim light phone, me personally i haven't played with the note 4 and the N6 yet but i will be soon but there are some pretty down side to the N6 that has me worried even though It would be nice to have my first nexus device just to see what stock android is all about.

[Nexus 6  General] ambichetan:
Wow, That was one hell of discussion ! Thank you all for mentioning your opinions.

I have been observing the discussions and liking some posts silently as [MENTION=5032939]iZack187[/MENTION] mentioned.

I am also tagging other users from this thread. [MENTION=2425605]Rauch[/MENTION] , [MENTION=2319008]Konikub[/MENTION] , [MENTION=2182808]Semantics[/MENTION] [MENTION=3989947]frigidazzi[/MENTION] [MENTION=2292122]jhax01[/MENTION] [MENTION=5754382]marper123[/MENTION] [MENTION=2647059]dtblair24[/MENTION] [MENTION=4117443]Attackcenter[/MENTION] [MENTION=3432923]BigPimpin[/MENTION] [MENTION=1568829]dboogie2288[/MENTION] [MENTION=1503452]XorZone[/MENTION]

Let me clear some points,

1. My previous devices,

"Nokie XXXX (2007) -> Sony Ericsson (2008) -> HTC windows phone (2009) -> Samsung S2 (~2011) -> Nexus 4 (2012) -> Nexus 5 (2013 to till now)"

I also have a Samsung Note Pro 12.1. In between, I tried Note 2 and returned since I never wanted to have a Samsung device after using S2. But I am fine with the tablet, don't ask me why.

YES, My history with cell phones does affect my expectations from a new cell phone. That's why I find Nexus 6 too BIG. I don't mind the height, but I don't like it and I can't use it because of the width. I can't even reach my back button without risking to hold my mobile loosely, probably because I have normal sized hand or fingers ( hope no girl reads this :P ).

2. I was craving to have a bigger screen, but 6' ? , no I can't use it. Please reduce the width at least. And, my bigger screen craving is satiated by my Note Pro 12.1. I do know that I can't carry note pro everywhere, but I use my devices the most only at home.

3. I am a kind of a person who spends almost 4hrs/day, holding my phone for facebook, news, games, reading, youtube, XDA, kernels etc and sometimes to call :P. The little heavier weight also comes on me. When, I hold the phone first time, I don't feel it heavy. But, after holding it continuously around 45mins, I can feel little pain in my hand. ( I do gym also ! )

4. Why are we fanboys being selfish. You guys honestly answer whether the nexus 6 is for everyone. No, It's NOT.

5. I still have the phone, which I almost returned. As many guys mentioned, I am going to give it a try for some more days as t-Mobile has ~14 days return policy. I wish, I get comfortable with the device.

STILL MY OPINION and EXPERIENCE.
[Nexus 6  General] Rauch:
Its all in good fun, brotha.

I haven't gotten a case or screen protector yet and have been so careful. Especially since i work in the construction industry.

Yeah, I can get away with using one hand on it but I'm better off using two. Using your pinky to rest the phone on may help, especially when typing. But it kinda does curb my sensation to text and drive.
[Nexus 6  General] dboogie2288:
Have you rebooted? I have been using swiftkey for a long time...like i paid for it. Lol. Anyhow it will stay on for a few hours and then revert back to the google keyboard. And if i reboot if definitely reverts back to google.
[Nexus 6  General] pside15:
Yeah, I've rebooted numerous times. I've been using SwiftKey for a very long time as well. Installed it after about a day with the stock keyboard and haven't had an issue with it at all. I'm typing this reply with it.
[Nexus 6  General] dboogie2288:
Well consider me jealous. Mine refuses to let me leave it as default. With the phone being so new not many posts on it or a resolution yet.
[Nexus 6  General] Konikub:
You may decide to keep it. :) For me, after using a phablet for a week or so, all other phones looked like toys. However, if that's not the case for you....there are plenty of other Pure Android devices out there besides the Nexus line. Also, the Moto X is just about as pure as you can get in the OEM world. Good luck and keep us posted.
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
Really? I think the Droid Turbo has awesome specs, but it is one of the most unappealling phones (visually) to me on the market right now.
[Nexus 6  General] marper123:
Why is this such an emotionally charged discussion? People come up with so many theories and what not about the Nexus line but at the end of the day its way simpler than what many people think. Google has to have a phone that shows off there latest version of Android and that's all the Nexus is. Simple as that really. Everyone takes the Nexus line way to serious.

Better yet, Get an M8 like I did and flash Skydragon ROM, it is extremely stable and you still get to have amazing front facing speakers.
[Nexus 6  General] kidrobot52:
I find it to be pretty light and easy to use with one hand. Probably because I have big hands. (Able to palm a basketball) had the n5 and always found myself fumbling with it when ever i wanted to reach for the screen with my thumb. Now I float seamlessly around the screen.
[Nexus 6  General] littlegreenalien:

[Nexus 6  General] mhsbrian:
OP can have his opinion... But, I've been using SwiftKey since the first time I booted up as my default keyboard... Opinions are fine and dandy, but uniformed ones... Well....
[Nexus 6  General] Semantics:
The fact that texting and driving has been proven to be more dangerous than drinking and driving should have been enough to curb your sensation to text and drive. It shows great irresponsibility, and I hope when you do crash into someone, they are the ones that walk away unscathed, which usually isn't the case. People cannot stare at their phone and drive, its a fact, and people kill people all the time by thinking that they can, I see it far too often professionally. I for one am glad they are charging manslaughter for people irresponsible enough to text and drive. Nothing is that important that it can't wait until you pull off the road into a parking lot to text. I have seen first hand families destroyed by this, and its one more thing that is 100% preventable, don't text and drive, period.

Pretty much nobody takes the Nexus line seriously outside of us on XDA, that's why they don't sell. The Nexus line has never gotten the latest version of Android into the hands of the masses, because the masses buy Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola and on and on.
[Nexus 6  General] SinfulRoad:
I'm not returning mine, I just have to RMA mine because the top right of my screen has a yellow tint that radiates down the screen. This wouldn't be so bad if it was a uniform yellow tint like some people are saying, however mine only appears at the top right of the screen, so it's really annoying. It's not like I can correct it with a color profile like I would with my desktop monitors. It's too bad, I REALLY like the Nexus 6.

[Nexus 6  General] tomzefi:
Seriously though. Lot of us just giving you a hard time. Its natural. But look at this product. It really works for bigger phones. I tried out a friends and he has the lg curve and it will not fall out of your hand and you get maximum reach. I did not order one because I chose to have a case with a stand. I don't keep it in my hand a lot. Hope this helps man. This is for you any one that's interested. http://www.technologytell.com/gadgets/153575/flygrip-makes-sure-dont-drop-phone/

You shouldn't be giving him a hard time though. It didn't work out for him (he stated his reasons) so he returned it and hopefully he has found a device that he is comfortable/happy with.
[Nexus 6  General] tomzefi:
I didn't give him a hard time. For your FYI, read the thread. He did not return it. He decided to give it a chance. .

Like I said, hopefully the only life you take is your own. Thats rarely the case from my experience, but if you insist on texting while driving then its pretty much all one can hope for.

I'm a girl, small hands, coming from a N5. I was first worried about the size, but honestly, until I see my N5 next to the phone, the phone doe snot feel big. the curve is nice, the edges being thinner feels nice, I love it and can still one hand it (but two hand for ease)

I don't recommend doing this. It's pretty stupid and could ruin a perfectly good phone. I'm just that brainless. Whatever happens, you're on your own.

I do go into this with some knowledge of the device. Dunked the Moto G when I found out that had a nano coating and hoped the Nexus 6 could at least perform to the same level as that much cheaper phone.

Afterwards, I did have some problems with the internal speakers. I'm not 100% sure if they were working like this before the test. As I note in my conversation with AT&T, alarms worked along with the boot sound.

Conversation with AT&T Support

In the end, everything is back to normal! Working fine.

For the charger he mentioned RAVPower in the video. It looks like the "[2-in-1] RAVPower® Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger / 5000mAh External Battery Pack Charger" from Amazon here:

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Qi-Enabled-Wireless-External-Incredible/dp/B00HYAZMU2

Sorry for the late reply. Been traveling to see family. It was a Ravpower unit as stated on someone else's reply.

I would have been a sad panda if the Moto G could do it and not the Nexus 6.

There was a lot of talk about salt water and the S5. I think that phone would work for a bit, but of course the salt water can't be that good on the seals. Who knows. Definitely wouldn't want salt hanging around inside of the Nexus 6 unless someone wanted to pay for the replacement.

Q&A for [ROM] Vanir/Commotio TF700

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM] Vanir/Commotio TF700 . If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] humanitybg:
So I tried installing the Commotio ROM on my TF700t since I have been reading good things about it. I'm running F2FS from a previous install of another ROM (I have done a full wipe of EVERYTHING before installing Commotion). Sadly I ran into an issue that I cannot solve...

Upon completion of the installation, (both GAPPs and the ROM are installed without any other errors but a mount error for /staging, which I understood is nothing critical from reading the F2FS for TF700T thread), I proceed to reboot my tablet as usual and I reach a "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen. It's a touch-screen option, with only a BACK button and a "RESET TABLET" button. The screen says my data is unavailable until I perform a factory reset. Neither the RESET TABLET button, nor a Factory Reset from TWRP F2FS recovery work. I have tried some thing from various android forums with no success... Is there anything I can do to restore functionality to my tablet? I would like to keep F2FS, with reverting back to EXT4 being my last resort.

I don't have any development experience so I would prefer if the instructions do not require that I compile things.

I have all the time in the world to fix this issue, as use of my tablet is not absolutely essential at the moment. I'm looking forward to a reply from you guys!

Stay awesome and thanks in advance!

EDIT: I have fixed the issue by flashing a F2FS kernel. From what I understood the ROM comes bundled with a kernel but I guess it's not F2FS compatible maybe? Anyways, ROM is by far the fastest and most responsive I have used on my tablet. Could not get ROM2SD to work sadly.

Also, the reason I am posting here is because I do not have enough forum posts to write in the ROMs development thread.

Huge thanks to Dev for the superb ROM. Kudos!
[Sony Xperia M] raydem27:
Hello, yesterday I update my xperia M C1905 to 4.3 on the PC companion. All work fine less wifi, bluetooh and radio. I tried to install again the firmware 4.1 but without results. Any help to resolve the problem?

P.D. Bootloader locked: NO.
[Sony Xperia M] raydem27:
Yes, I have tried with flastool and PC companion. I have no idea why don´t work it. Also I have tried the service test in the hidden menu, and nothing.
[Sony Xperia M] RedLedLight:
Did you do any sorts of modifications before the update :eek:
[Sony Xperia M] raydem27:
No, any modifications. Only update with pc companion.
[Sony Xperia M] RedLedLight:
I think this might be a hardware problem then. All of this things are wireless stuff. (Not a 100% sure on this, wait for a bigger pro than me :p). Try is NFC working. Also how doesn't WiFi work? Doesn't turn on or what?
[Sony Xperia M] raydem27:
I can´t probe the NFC. The wifi, bluetooh and radio no turn on. only say it "turning on" and then the button come back to turn off.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RJV3:
Hi all. I have a pioneer AVIC-8000NEX and a verizon note 4.

Ever since having my GS4 I could not get the mirror link to work. I have the pioneer cables and the samsung mhl adapter.

I downloaded app radio on my phone but I ca never get it to work.

I tried drive link (Samsung's app) but it constantly crashes upon opening.

Anyone have mirror link working on their note 4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] le0.br4zuc4:
I am on the same boat. From what I know, the note 4 has some kind of mirror link built-in and the s4 did not, however, pioneer needs to make it compatible with their devices
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RJV3:
I've been trying several things and trying to read up as much as possible. If I'm not mistaken, our devices use mirror link 1.1 and my Pioneer avic 8000 nex is on 1.0. There was a firmware update available but it didn't update the mirror link version. Mainly apply car play. I know Samsung has a Drive Link app, but it crashes whenever I try to open it. Using Pioneer App radio app, it starts to connect but then disconnects. Can't figure this out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jppodst:
just got off phone with pioneer...

I was having this same issue with my pioneer head unit. Runs mirrorlink v1.0 but note runs v1.1. Spoke to pioneer who tells me the drivers are not backwords compatable. Pioneer is calling it a know defect on Mirrorlink side. They tell me its effecting everyone.

I called mirrorlink which nobody answered..... which is odd.

Also spoke to samsung customer service about it who told me its only used for their tvs to link... after i explained to the customer service person what it really was i did not get a reply.

So 1000.00 on radio, 100.00 on mirrorlink box, and i have a bluetooth connwction still.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jppodst:
Issue is with Pioneer and lack of development

Ok so... spent more time on phone with people at MirrorLink, Samsung and Pioneer.... here is the outcome.

MirrorLink states that the contract any company signs with them simply states they will provide the mirrorlink driver, its is the companies responsability to provide support for the driver and they application.

MirrorLink v1.0 needed a gateway app installed in order for it to talk to your radio however v1.1 has this built in.

Pioneer radios running v1.0 will NOT talk to phones running v1.1 as v1.1 is not backwards compatable due to the gateway app being built in.

I spoke with Pioneer to see how or when a updated flash for the 4600BH will be out there as this is the only reason I got this radio 8 months ago, the rep told me that they have no plans to update any of their current radios with a new flash and v1.1 and if I want MirrorLink to work with my Note4, "go buy a new 2015 model"

So there you go, customer service at its finest.....

I have submitted a BBB complaint that I spent good money for a working product that says it has MirrorLink but yet says nothing about the versions. If I had this radio for 3 years its one thing... but 8 months and there is NO support going foward for it?

:confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RJV3:
Please keep me posted on your complaint with the BBB. You will also most likely need a petition going citing the same issues. I bought my avic 8000nex in April and mirror link was one of the features I was sold on. Is there anything I can do to help spread the word or get some momentum going for the complaint?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disturbed0352:
Mirrorlink

I have been having the same issue with the Samsung series of phones and the Pioneer AppRadio series. This is an absolute complete fail on Pioneers part. I personally am about to boycot anything from them because of their crappy customer service and their complete disregard to support their own stuff. Complaining to the BBB has done nothing for now, not sure what would. However, if anyone comes up with a fix or a third party flash fix for this head unit, I would be interested until I send this thing back to pioneer in pieces and tell them to kiss my but.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] installz1:
I don't believe this is a pioneer issue. Even if the pioneer uses 1.0 the HTC one m8 is 1.1 and works flawlessly with the pioneer units. I think this is a Samsung issue. I have a galaxy s5 on lollipop with mirrorlink and have the same issue. It connects but phone screen goes black and I have no picture on 4000nex screen. Oh and the s4 mini, note 4 and note edge were removed from the approved devices list on the mirrorlink web site a few days ago. Samsung is the problem here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JOSHSKORN:
I'm in the market to upgrade my minivan's old Tape/CD player to a double-din head unit. I'm glad I found this thread. In fact, I nearly purchased that same head unit, last year.

In regards to MirrorLink 1.1, it looks like it came out sometime between December 2013 - April 2014, more likely AFTER the said head unit in the OP began mass production. I'm wondering if the newer Pioneer units support the same MirrorLink 1.1 technology. I've read that they are due out in March, 2015. I'll be looking at the AVIC-8100NE (or AVIC-8100NEX...it might've been a typo where I first read it), unless I hear of something better.

Can we start a list of known working head units for the Galaxy Note 4?
